Hey, condolences on not winning the championship this year. Your team looked so promising, but injuries crushed you.

And who could have imagined that (choose all that apply) Eli Manning/Matthew Stafford/Doug Martin/Ray Rice/Jamaal Charles/Demaryius Thomas/Reggie Wayne/Danario Alexander would completely flop for you in Week 15?

But forget about that. Leave your regrets and frustrations right over there, with Mindy the coat-check girl. Then come on in. Let’s have a drink and some hors d’oeuvres and talk about 2013.

All season long we’ve used this space to assess the ever-changing fantasy landscape. Well, we’ve reached our destination. It’s championship week, and for those of us who aren’t playing for a title, it’s time to gaze into the future.

What follows is an early mock fantasy draft for 2013. Rather than basing this mock on my own opinions of players, I’m going to base it mostly on where I think players will be taken (though I’m sure a few of my own biases will creep into it). But before we get started, let’s take stock at each position.

Quarterback: The rookie class of 2012 has proven to be so bountiful that the 2013 QB pool is going to be like an overstocked trout pond — it will be almost impossible not to catch something. Just look at the names: Rodgers, Brady, Brees, Manning (times two), Newton, RG3, Luck, Ryan, Stafford, Roethlisberger, Romo, Kaepernick, Wilson. That’s more than enough to equip every team in a 12-team league with a starter. And still, that list omits a couple of solid youngsters (Freeman, Dalton) and a few capable but unsexy veterans (Rivers, Schaub, Cutler). When choosing a quarterback next year, patience will be a virtue.
