first pick draft sim

[Slaine]

Your Picks:
Round 2 Pick 8 (DEN): Reid, Justin, FS, Stanford (B+)
Round 2 Pick 28: Rudolph, Mason, QB, Oklahoma State (A)
Round 3 Pick 7 (DEN): Turay, Kemoko, OLB, Rutgers (A)
Round 3 Pick 28: Jewell, Josey, ILB, Iowa (A+)
Round 4 Pick 6 (DEN): Freeman, Royce, RB, Oregon (A+)
Round 5 Pick 11: Haley, Grant, CB, Penn State (A)
Round 5 Pick 28: Norton, Kendrick, DT, Miami (FL) (A+)
Round 7 Pick 2: Adams, Tony, OG, North Carolina State (A+)
Round 7 Pick 28: Toth, Brett, OT, Army (A+)

An unrealistic trade with Denver was too good to pass up but gave me the ammunition to take Rudolph with the late 2nd rounder. I love Reid as a player - he's a genuine FS. A lot of this was need based but it also allowed me to take guys with proven production and athleticism. I even like the tackle from Army in the 7th!

Giving Auden Tate a 7th round score is criminal, but I'll take him!

Round 3 Pick 2 (NYG): Baker, Jerome, OLB, Ohio State (A-)
Round 3 Pick 28: Freeman, Royce, RB, Oregon (A)
Round 3 Pick 35 (DEN): Thomas, Ian, TE, Indiana (A+)
Round 4 Pick 10 (OAK): Teller, Wyatt, OG, Virginia Tech (A+)
Round 4 Pick 13 (DEN): Brown, Andrew, DT, Virginia (A+)
Round 5 Pick 2 (NYG): Avery, Genard, ILB, Memphis (A+)
Round 5 Pick 11: Burnett, Deontay, WR, Southern California (A+)
Round 5 Pick 28: Phillips, Darius, CB, Western Michigan (A)

Draft coming up shortly. Time to get real. I approached this draft not so much concerned with First Picks grades etc, though I still used them as a general guideline. Here is how it turned out:

Your score is: 21762 (GRADE: A-)

Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 28: James, Derwin, SS/FS, Florida State (A+) This was actually my "trade up" target. I tried, 4 times, I could not strike a deal. Low and behold, there he was at 28! Doubtful this happens for real but Marino/Rodgers type drops have happened in the past . . .

Round 3 Pick 3 (IND): Jewell, Josey, ILB, Iowa (A-) Looked hard at Malik Jefferson here. The trade offer, though, was too much to pass up. Indy gives us a 4th and a 6th to replace ours lost to trades, and here sits a LB I think is as good as any rated 2-3 round.

Round 3 Pick 28: Settle, Tim, DT, Virginia Tech (A+) Almost took Nyheim HInes here, but decided a big DT was better value. Totally had overcome my NCSU homerism.

Round 4 Pick 4 (IND): Samuels, Jaylen, RB/WR, North Carolina State (A+) Rats, Hines went 2 picks before! JS is shown on here as a RB/WR but he is more like a TE/WR. Plus he can contribute as a returner. He doesn't have MB's speed, but his size and catch/run ability could help offset Bryant's eventual depture.

Round 5 Pick 11: Scarbrough, Bo, RB, Alabama (A+) No brainer here. Hedge bet against Bell, upside is he is Bus 2.0!

Round 5 Pick 28: Hill, Holton, CB, Texas (A+) 6'3, 4.49 40, hell yes!

Round 6 Pick 4 (IND): Mataafa, Hercules, OLB, Washington State (A+) Interesting prospect with a potential to play ILB also: http://www.steelernationforums.com/showthread.php?20323-Hercules-Mata-afa-inside-LB-in-3-4

Round 7 Pick 2: Weathersby, Toby, OT, LSU (A+) I don't understand why First Pick seems to think we need an OG. I think, with losing our swing T to Cleveland and the slow development of Jerald Hawkins, its more likely a tackle is in order. BJ Finney is just as good, or better than Foster and can also play center.

Round 7 Pick 28: Frazier, Marcell, DE, Missouri (A+) Projects more as a 4/3 type player but, as we play more and more sub-package football, this guy could be a tweener with potential to be a special teams ace. Good practice squad developmental project.

Your Future Picks:
2019 Round 1 Pick
2020 Round 1 Pick

 

[Litos]

looking at the latest CBSSports mock, I find it very probable that chips might fall that way (regardless of trades and that), What would you do?

I don't know, get the TE Hurst maybe? Evans has many questions

What's the scoop on Dissly??? Is he faster than Jesse, size??? What's your take on him in the NFL?



Salute the nation

 

[Ike Kelly]

Dissly is the best blocking TE in this draft. By a long mile. Practically blocks like an extra tackle, but has some (wasn’t used much) catching ability

I think he would be a good rotational blocker. You could use him perhaps in some situations similar to Hubbard. And see if his catch game can develop....

 

[Tibs]

I use fanspeak, straight-up mock w no trades. I'd be real satisfied if the draft played out like this:


R1P28 DL DARON PAYNE ALABAMA
R2P28 S JUSTIN REID STANFORD
R3P28 RB RASHAAD PENNY SAN DIEGO STATE
R5P11 LB GENARD AVERY MEMPHIS
R5P28 CB KEVIN TOLIVER II LSU
R7P2 WR JALEEL SCOTT NEW MEXICO STATE
R7P28 OG COLBY GOSSETT APPALACHIAN STATE

 

[TDX27]

Traded back a little (unrealistic) and took Evans to start. Reid in the 2nd is another great pick. Then, I saw Jackson sitting there in the 3rd and had to take him. He is obviously BPA at that point. I got a ton of value in the rest of the draft. If it fell this way, I would be extremely happy.

Your score is: 22080 (GRADE: A)

Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 31 (N.E.): Evans, Rashaan, OLB/ILB, Alabama (B+)
Round 2 Pick 31 (N.E.): Reid, Justin, FS, Stanford (A)
Round 3 Pick 4 (HOU): Jackson, Lamar, QB, Louisville (A+)
Round 3 Pick 28: Penny, Rashaad, RB, San Diego State (A+)
Round 3 Pick 34 (HOU): Settle, Tim, DT, Virginia Tech (A+)
Round 5 Pick 11: Avery, Genard, ILB, Memphis (A+)
Round 5 Pick 28: Lazard, Allen, WR, Iowa State (A+)
Round 7 Pick 2: Facyson, Brandon, CB, Virginia Tech (A+)
Round 7 Pick 28: Flowers, Tre, SS, Oklahoma State (A+)

 

[Slaine]

That draft would be a wet dream just for picks 1 & 2.

Round 7 Pick 28: Cantrell, Dylan, WR, Texas Tech (A+)

I tell bell to sign asap and let him seek the best possible trade ..

Evans I would be ok with.I love that he has produced when it mattered against top competition. Reid if they are comfy he wouldn't be a distraction. Maybe a Bell replacement for next year.... Or a Bryant one.......
