Andy Behrens at the Roto Arcade, the fantasy sports blog at Yahoo! Sports, has begun a wonderful work: he’s gone ahead and posted his view on how this fall’s fantasy draft picks should roll out, for the first five rounds (for roto settings).

Most of his assessments seem right on, with a few exceptions.

(There will be mock draft rankings posted here eventually as well, for head-to-head formats.)

Here are how his first five rounds (each with 12 picks) look:

Round 1 (highlights: Chris Paul at #1, LeBron James at #2, Danny Granger at #6, Kevin Durant at #7)

Round 2 (highlights: Kevin Garnett at #1, Dwight Howard at #8, Devin Harris at #9)

Round 3 (highlights: Andre Iguodala at #1, Josh Smith at #4, Brook Lopez at #6, Gilbert Arenas at #9)

Round 4 (highlights: Stephen Jackson at #1, David West at #4, Paul Pierce at #7, Derrick Rose at #10)

Round 5 (highlights: LaMarcus Aldridge at #1, Rudy Gay at #3, Hedo Turkoglu at #5, Andrew Bynum at #11)
