Since speculating is so much fun, let's try and predict the first round of 2011 fantasy football mock drafts in early January. Last year, there was a very clear cut top four picks in fantasy drafts, even way back during the 2009 season's playoffs. This year, I'd say there are three players that stand out above the rest, two more that should go no later than fifth, and then a bit of a toss-up for the first round. Who are these elite fantasy picks? Let's find out.1. Adrian Peterson, RB, MIN
2. Arian Foster, RB, HOU
3. Michael Vick, QB, PHI
Foster and Vick put up fantasy MVP numbers at their respective positions, and they were inarguably the top two players of the 2010 season. So why is Peterson first? Consistency, my friends. He's topped 1,600 total yards in each of his first four seasons, and with the Vikings falling apart around him -- not to mention his body giving him injury problems in the second half -- Peterson still averaged 4.6 yards per carry and scored 13 TDs. He offers zero bust potential, which is what you want from a first round pick.
