I just finished a 10 player Mock Draft and here is what my team came out with with the round & pick # included.
1-5. Adrian Peterson 2-16. Reggie Wayne 3-25. Steve Smith 4-36. Rudi Johnson 5-45. Carson Palmer 6-56. Ronnie Brown 7-65. Lee Evans 8-76. Vernon Davis 9-85. Javon Walker 10-96. Bears Defense 11-105. David Garrard 12-116. Kevin Curtis 13-125. Shaun Alexander 14-136. Nate Kaeding
This left me with the following lineup.
QB: Carson Palmer RB: Adrian Peterson RB: Rudi Johnson WR: Reggie Wayne WR: Steve Smith WR: Lee Evans TE: Vernon Davis K: Nate Kaeding DST: Bears
Reserves: QB: David Garrard RB: Ronnie Brown, Shaun Alexander WR: Javon Walker, Kevin Curtis
I liked Garrard as my backup QB in the 11th round and Alexander as a 13th round flier. Ronnie Brown will split carries with Ricky Williams but he had a hot start to last season before the injury and I hope he can be a solid backup.

Good draft, but I would have taken Kevin Smith, Matt Forte or Rashard Mendenhall over Alexander as a 13 round flier however (I'm sure one of them will have slipped there). That would give you Ronnie Brown and AP who should be solid, and a presumable TD hound in Pitt in Mendenhall, or a carry-hound in Kevin Smith, or a guy with great potential in Forte (I had this kid the 3rd best back on my board in the draft... reminds me of Fred Taylor). No idea how Ronnie Brown fell to the 6th round in your mock tho... no way that'll ever happen.
Some favorite value picks I like are:
Garrard in Rounds 8-11 Vincent Jackson in Round 9 (#1 WR in the playoffs) Reggie Williams in Round 10-11 (10 TDs in the 10th round. Best value.) Jerry Porter In Rounds 9-13 (He's hard to project, but he usually slips to 9+).
I also like to grab Owen Daniels and Heath Miller back to back in rounds 13 and 14, or 14 and 15. If you can keep one or two consistent TEs away from your opponents, go for it. In the very least I would have grabbed Heath Miller or Owen Daniels in case Vernon Davis doesn't work out... you really need someone with a better QB situation just in case.

I also think it's important to come away with either Fitzgerald, Andre Johnson, Brandon Marshall or Colston. I'm pretty sure you could have paired one of them up with Reggie Wayne instead of grabbing Steve Smith. All of the aforementioned have better QB situations, and a more recent history of solid production than Smith.
When I drafted Smith only Marshall was left in that group you mentioned, I had really wanted to get Andre Johnson.
Forte & Mendenhall were gone by the 13th round but Smith was still there. I like the rumors of Alexander possibly going to Denver as I don't see Travis Henry as the only answer there. Alexander has had a huge decline, but in Denver he could have one more resurgent season. Were it a keeper league things would have been much different of course.
Jerry Porter went in the 12th round, I had him queue'd up for my pick but the person in front of me snatched him so I settled on Curtis.
