Born and raised in Minnesota, John Tuvey was scarred for life at an early age by multiple Vikings Super Bowl losses. While the anguish that accompanies the purple kool-aid continues, John has found other football triumphs to call his own. He played sparingly during four seasons at St. John

| Ovr | Pick | Franchise | Selection | Pos. | Team | Age | Exp. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1.01 | TheHuddle.com | Arian Foster | RB | HOU | 26 | 3 |
| This isn't a no-brainer, for me at least; I think losing Winston hurts Houston's line. But the Ravens have line issues of their own, so it's tough to justify elevating Rice over Foster. Can't go wrong either way. | |||||||
| 2 | 2.12 | TheHuddle.com | Victor Cruz | WR | NYG | 26 | 2 |
| Cruz gets the nod over his teammate and a couple other worthy wideouts primarily because he turned down Dancing With The Stars. That and his ability to score from anywhere on the field. | |||||||
| 3 | 3.01 | TheHuddle.com | Doug Martin | RB | TB | 24 | R |
| It's a bit of a reach for Martin here, but there's no way he makes it back to me at the 4/5 turn so if I want him I need to jump now. I have visions of Martin running wild behind Carl Nicks while LeGarrette Blount works his way into Greg Schiano's doghouse. | |||||||
| 4 | 4.12 | TheHuddle.com | Jeremy Maclin | WR | PHI | 25 | 3 |
| WR is a deep position this year, but with 3 or 4 starting per team they'll be tapped out by the time I pick again; of the guys I have left in this tier, Maclin and my next pick have the most upside. | |||||||
| 5 | 5.01 | TheHuddle.com | Eric Decker | WR | DEN | 26 | 2 |
| Again it feels like I'm reaching a bit, but Decker wouldn't last two more rounds. Love his upside as Manning's most polished target. | |||||||
| 6 | 6.12 | TheHuddle.com | Matt Ryan | QB | ATL | 28 | 4 |
| Big fan of the Dirty Birds offense this year, and I know QBs will be picked clean so I'd better get one at this turn. | |||||||
| 7 | 7.01 | TheHuddle.com | BenJarvus Green-Ellis | RB | CIN | 27 | 4 |
| Not sure if BJGE can take on Ced Benson's carries in Cincy, but I'm willing to risk a mid-round pick and a flex spot that he can--especially compared to other backs left on the board. | |||||||
| 8 | 8.12 | TheHuddle.com | Brandon Pettigrew | TE | DET | 28 | 3 |
| Pettigrew is the guy I hope to grab right around this portion of the draft if I miss out on the elite four TEs. More upside than what's left at his position. | |||||||
| 9 | 9.01 | TheHuddle.com | Darrius Heyward-Bey | WR | IND | 26 | 3 |
| Love DHB's upside with a full offseason of work with Carson Palmer. And two years ago if you told me I'd ever use the words "love" and "DHB" in the same sentence I would have fitted you for a straight jacket. | |||||||
| 10 | 10.12 | TheHuddle.com | Evan Royster | RB | WAS | 25 | 1 |
| The perfect format for a Shanahan back: all the upside without the weekly headaches. | |||||||
| 11 | 11.01 | TheHuddle.com | Kyle Rudolph | TE | MIN | 23 | 1 |
| Rudolph is developing a real red-zone chemistry with Christian Ponder; has the upside to be an every-week contributor. | |||||||
| 12 | 12.12 | TheHuddle.com | Carson Palmer | QB | ARI | 33 | 9 |
| Even with the run-heavy new OC I like Palmer's upside in this offense. Solid insurance if Ryan doesn't blow up as expected. | |||||||
| 13 | 13.01 | TheHuddle.com | Pierre Thomas | RB | NO | 28 | 5 |
| Stuck in a committee, but in this format there's no risk and all upside. | |||||||
| 14 | 14.12 | TheHuddle.com | Steve Smith | WR | --- | 28 | 5 |
| Three years removed from a 100-catch season. Sam Bradford could use someone to throw to, and in this format Smith's inability to stay healthy isn't as problematic. | |||||||
| 15 | 15.01 | TheHuddle.com | Vick Ballard | RB | IND | 22 | R |
| Throwing darts at backs in the later round. Ballard could get an audition as the Colts rebuild, and Donald Brown isn't exactly a bastion of good health in front of him. Also, memo to self: EVERYBODY is sitting on Jerome Simpson in the 14th round, so if you want him you'll have to act a little sooner. | |||||||
| 16 | 16.12 | TheHuddle.com | David Nelson | WR | CLE | 26 | 2 |
| There's upside to the Bills' offense; Nelson could emerge as Stevie Johnson's wingman and contribute a game or two of fantasy help. | |||||||
| 17 | 17.01 | TheHuddle.com | Matt Bryant | PK | ATL | 38 | 10 |
| Everybody needs a kicker. I like Bryant because his offense has upside and he has a roof over his head. | |||||||
| 18 | 18.12 | TheHuddle.com | Dallas Defense | Def | DAL | ||
| 19 | 19.01 | TheHuddle.com | Randy Bullock | PK | HOU | 23 | R |
| He's a kicker, and he doesn't have the same bye week as my other kicker. | |||||||
| 20 | 20.12 | TheHuddle.com | Minnesota Defense | Def | MIN | ||
