Heading into your draft without preparing with a few mocks is the start of a losing plan. Luckily, Yahoo has you covered, with fantasy football mock drafts starting every few minutes. And the Yahoo staff is leading the way, recapping our own mocks in a wide variety of league formats.

7. Tera Roberts, Yahoo Fantasy contributor
8. Mo Castillo, Yahoo Fantasy senior editor
9. Dan Titus, Yahoo Fantasy analyst
