2018 Forum Mock Draft Discussion Thread.

[Damix]

I remain that I didn't actually sign up for this, I just commented on procks tanking suggestion.

[KCJ58]

will prock pick in the hour and half that I have left for the night? That is the question.

[Matthew Jones]

Haven't had a chance to check out the Jets' two second-round picks but I'm loving the rest of their draft. Very good job.

[mightytitan9]

Care to explain why? Not being snarky, genuinely curious.

They need pass rushing dearly and their interior line play left a lot to be desired.

Their safeties are pretty average, and I think Watts can be a really good player

To be honest, I'm just not as high on Landry as most. I know it's a popular selection for us in mock drafts right now, but I'm just not feeling it.

There's about a dozen guys I would have preferred to Landry.

Love the Smith pick in Round 2. I think he'd fit perfect in Tennessee and I would love to pair him with Lewan and Conklin on the line. Some may think it's a little high but I think that's great value.

I'm not high on Armani Watts and factor in we have All-Pro Kevin Byard, along with Johnathan Cyprien (Big contract) and still currently have Da'Norris Searcy
under contract, I don't see safety as a need and don't see the player as a value pick to neutralize the need.

Understandable with Landry, it's personal preference. He was my top rated EDGE on the board. Glad you like Smith, I think he'd be great for you guys.

I like Watts a fair amount. Cyprien wasn't so great last year and Searcy is getting up there in age. Just my rationale, but I like hearing the POV from people who follow the team, makes this random thing more fun

Yeah I understand with Landry, manypeople are higher on him tan I am and it's a popular pick for us.

It's tough to say right now before FA just because we could cut Searcy, but I would have liked to have seen an ILB like Josey Jewell or a one of the DL that had value at that pick.

[BeerBaron]

Considered Falk with my last Atlanta pick. Certainly not a need, but would have been a cheap backup for a few years at least.

Good fit for Washington.

[fenikz]

Ballage will be the next David Johnson not Barkley

[Grizzlegom]

All the Barkley hate on this forum is absurd.

[BeerBaron]

I blame BBD.

[fenikz]

Is he a Barkley fan?

[Grizzlegom]

No, he spent the whole season bashing him.

[JoeJoeBrown]

Barkley is awesome. WTF.

[BeerBaron]

He formed the opinion based on the Rutgers game and justified it to the effect of "you only need to see one game to scout a RB".

This is a pretty good call for most things

[scottyboy]

when did chicago get Arizona's 4th rounder?

[BeerBaron]

"No. 115: Arizona → Chicago (PD). Arizona traded their fourth-round selection as well as their second-, fourth-, and sixth-round selections in 2017 (45th, 119th, 197th) to Chicago in exchange for Chicago's second-round selection in 2017 (36th).[TRADE 1]"

[scottyboy]

traded up for baker? I don't remember things, ugh

[BeerBaron]

Nnadi was good value there. I think he goes day 2 in reality. He has no one outstanding strength, but he's lacking major weaknesses as well.

[Matthew Jones]

Pretty sure Josh Sweat was already picked. By the way, it's 4 AM here, so I'm going to go back to sleep for a little while, but I'll wake up and check in in another hour or so. I've got the #126 pick, so I'll be around to make it.

[BeerBaron]

Sweat was. I texted him to repick.

[KCJ58]

Haven't had a chance to check out the Jets' two second-round picks but I'm loving the rest of their draft. Very good job.

I aim to please.

[BeerBaron]

I'll give him until I leave work (another half hour) to fix it. If not, I'll give him a different pass rusher so we can keep moving.

[fenikz]

I'm here whenever

Also Tyrod Taylor can be had for a 6th

[badger]

If the Packers don’t take a pass rusher in their first four picks of the real draft, it’s going to be a bad time.

Vea would be cool in the first though

[BeerBaron]

I'm having some nasty BJ Raji flashbacks with Vea.

[badger]

I'm having some nasty BJ Raji flashbacks with Vea.



Vea and an impact edge rusher would pretty much make the draft a win no matter what else happened with their other 10 picks.

Vea and trading back into the first to get Landry or Key to mirror Raji/Matthews in 2009 would have me dancing.

[BeerBaron]

I'm here whenever

Also Tyrod Taylor can be had for a 6th

I repicked for him to keep us moving. Go ahead.

[TitanHope]

In my defense, I did try to take a pass rusher who had been taken 60 picks before.

[JoeJoeBrown]

Man Cleveland has infinite picks this draft.

[BrownLeader]

Sorry folks! Thanks BB. Great pick too.

[BrownLeader]

Man Cleveland has infinite picks this draft.

Fisch isn't doing too bad either. Chubb instead of Guice still stings and I wouldn't take McFadden until the 5th but everything else it's fine. Parker's a great pick.

[Matthew Jones]

Here's my scouting report on Scales:

LB Tegray Scales, Indiana

6’0” – 230 lbs.

Played in all twelve games as a freshman, rotating heavily into the defense. Started one of eleven games the following year and saw his production escalate, then spent the following two seasons as a full-time starter, earning All-American honors as a junior and first team all-conference honors as a senior. Two-time team captain and emotional leader of the defense. Can play in the middle or on the outside. Size is on the borderline of what’s acceptable for his position, so Combine measurements will be important. Has a very likable game with excellent athleticism and an excellent motor. Heat-seeking missile who diagnoses quickly and flies around the field; seemingly always around the ball. Loves to pin his ears back and play downhill; makes a ton of plays in the backfield. Very fast in a straight line, with impressive ability to plant and drive. Quickness and active hands allow him to play off of blocks better than is typical for a player with his size; willing to mix it up with opponents. However, gaudy tackling statistics are more a testament to his instincts and athleticism than to his tackling ability; lack of length limits his radius, and lets some ballcarriers slip through his grasp. Makes a lot of shoestring tackles. Run fits leave something to be desired at times. An every-down player who can do a little bit of everything on passing downs. Athleticism allows him to work in man or zone coverage; can carry running backs out of the backfield or even work against slot receivers. Exhibits fluid hips when covering opponents over the middle of the field in man coverage. Eagerness to come up and play the run can sometimes cause him to bite on play fakes. Probably not big enough to cover opposing inline tight ends. Effective pass-rusher who uses his explosiveness and hands to penetrate into the backfield; recorded thirteen sacks over the past two seasons. Closes very quickly when operating as a spy and given a clear path to the passer. Plays on special-teams units. Has a very appealing combination of instincts, athleticism, versatility, and intangibles which should allow him to play in sub packages and potentially as a base linebacker behind a four-man defensive line despite his lack of ideal size.

[DallasM]

Just got in. so looking over my options but i'll have a pick soon.

[Grizzlegom]

Damix getting some great value with Gesicki and Marcus Allen who were both projected in the first in mocks midseason.

[BeerBaron]

Gesicki I think goes in the 2nd in reality. Teams are caring less and less about TEs blocking if they can bring the Zach Ertz style red zone threat.

[fenikz]

My last two pics are the "are you not entertained" pose

[BeerBaron]

So, Fenikz, you know that was for Miami right?

[fenikz]

I do, quoted my other post :facepalm:

[BeerBaron]

Shylo coming in and taking two players near the top of my 49ers board....grumble...

[JoeJoeBrown]

I do, quoted my other post :facepalm:

Good value with Baker.
I doubt that Baker slips that far. I’m not a huge fan due to his lack of true LB instincts and lack of desire to take on blocks, but he is a great athlete that thrives in space. Might be really good as a hybrid LB/S.

[fenikz]

Ya, really good athlete who should play mostly in the nickel

[BeerBaron]

I've texted Scotty and offered to let Fenikz make the pick as well. Hopefully one comes back soon.

[fenikz]

My Cardinals would have taken Ward in the 1st though so no Toliver

[dg151]

New York Canes tbh.

[fenikz]

dibs on the next one

[Matthew Jones]

I'm here, pick will be up in a minute.

[scottyboy]

my bad guys, hectic night and day so far. my apologies

I never do pics.

Ok, I'm here. Was volunteering all day. Give me a few.

[BrownLeader]

Literally who I was about to take DG. :mad:

[Matthew Jones]

Surprised it took so long for someone to draft Hercules. He was a bad Mata'afa in college. Kind of a weird projection to the NFL since he played less than ten snaps at defensive end last year but it's worth taking a chance on his production at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if he went in the 60-80 range in the real draft.

[JoeJoeBrown]

Glaciers move faster than this draft.

[BeerBaron]

I'll be leaving for a wedding tonight. I imagine things will be fairly slow during that time.

Once I'm back, maybe we will consider adding a clock.

I only Youtube scouted him, but I came away really liking him. I know there's probably zero film of him in coverage, but think he could play 3-4 ILB?

[Matthew Jones]

I'm not really sure to be honest, Tedy Bruschi was an undersized defensive tackle from the same conference and he ended up doing it, but in my opinion it would probably be a waste to ask Mata'afa to do something like that, just because his main strengths to me are his quickness off the snap and his active hands. The reason I think he's a difficult projection is because I question if he's really flexible enough to bend the edge. But although I'm skeptical of whether he can transition to linebacker, I agree with you that you might have to get creative with how to use him because his role in college probably isn't going to be what he's doing in the NFL. You'll probably see some teams ask him to do linebacker drills at his pro day or in private workouts just to try and figure out where they could possibly play him.

You could just line him up between the tackle and guard and have him shoot the gap all day. Whether he's technically a LB or DL, he may be a guy who has a "job" rather than a "position," if that makes sense.

I was gonna say run stunts from the OLB spot, but like you said, his quickness just lets him knife between guys to make the play. He looks like a defender who's at his best inside the tackle box, so the closer to the line the better.

[KCJ58]

Glaciers move faster than this draft.

Talk to our leader, he's OTC

[BeerBaron]

He and JJB are the only people I don't have numbers for. If someone has it and wants to text him, that would be swell.

[fischbowl]

He and JJB are the only people I don't have numbers for. If someone has it and wants to text him, that would be swell.

I see him online so I sent him a PM

[Shylo3716]

Cincinnati has been OTC for about 10 hours now. No big board submitted?

[DallasM]

Power outage at home, so i dont know if ill have access today. Ill try to get a big board ready

[JoeJoeBrown]

Cincinnati has been OTC for about 10 hours now. No big board submitted?

YEah wtf.

[TitanHope]

I really doubt Damix will mind if we pick for him.

Looks like Cincy could use more OL help. I say we plug in Scott Quessenbery, G/C, UCLA and get this train a'movin'.

[KCJ58]

TitanHope with the plan,

Arizona aka Scotty is now OTC

[Shylo3716]

Texting, Scotty...

Me: You are OTC.
Scotty: Rutgers is on, nothing else exists at this point in time
Me: You have a big board that I can pass along?
Scotty:


Apparently, Scotty doesn’t give a f*ck!

[Grizzlegom]

Give him a Rutgers player.

Also, GO RUTGERS!

[fenikz]

I'll pick for AZ, 1 sec

[KCJ58]

Scotty: Rutgers is on, nothing else exists at this point in time


except he can text back on his phone? Clearly not watching the whole game. I don't want to hear no commercial bullshit.

[KCJ58]

It's truly amazing that My two teams have drafted better than anyone else. So much so that everyone has just give up and declared me the winner. Guys I will not take my title until we get to round 7 so let's do this. There is always the fight for 3rd place!

[fenikz]

I too declare victory not only for the Dolphins and Bills but also for the Cardinals

[JoeJoeBrown]

Just messaged brownleader.

[fischbowl]

No picks all day...I'm guessing this has died?

[JoeJoeBrown]

No picks all day...I'm guessing this has died?

Brownleader has failed us.

[Shylo3716]

No picks all day...I'm guessing this has died?

It’s a hard pill to swallow, thinking back to when it was actually exciting to partake in a forum mock. Once upon a time, we had our own version of Mel Kiper Jr.

[Grizzlegom]

I feel like I haven't had a pick in a week.

[JoeJoeBrown]

We can pick for brownleader. It’s been a whole fucking day.

[TitanHope]

After googling LA Chargers team needs, the first result says they need a RT or a FS. This must be true.

Has Jordan Whitehead been taken? I can't ctrl-f on my phone.

[Matthew Jones]

I think we should just institute a thirty-minute clock for the rest of the draft, beginning tomorrow. Anyone who misses their pick can make it when they get back. We're down to late-round picks, let's just get it over with IMO. This draft has already taken over twice as long as the last forum mock and the pace is excruciating.

[Zach]

Why did the Saints draft a RB?

[badger]

Why did the Saints draft a RB?



Are you talking about Samuels? He’s not a true running back, kind of a RB/FB/TE/slot WR versatile hybrid weapon. I don’t know if NO has a need for that type of guy, but I wouldn’t complain about it because he’s a good football player and there are lots of ways he can help. I would love if the Packers could pick him up if he’s there in the 5th.

I would love if the Packers could pick him up if he’s there in the 5th.

Just reading up on him, but it still doesn't make much sense. When we do two TE sets, one is mainly in for blocking, which from the reports are saying arent his strength (5'11 and 220ish as well). Yeah, he can catch out of the backfield, but we already have three RBs who can do that.

He seems like a solid prospect for the 5th, but on this team I don't really understand the fit.

[badger]

Yeah, I’m not part of this draft so I can’t really explain the thought process of whoever took him. He’s a good football player though. Also, I would guess he’ll carry more weight in the NFL. I kind of envision him as a shorter Trey Burton, but that could be way off.

[JoeJoeBrown]

Alright. Let’s start the clock at 9:30 cst. That’s 11 minutes from this post. I’ll put a blank post for beeebaron now.

[JoeJoeBrown]

SHylo you are on the clock.

[BeerBaron]

I'm back from the wedding. I'll get back to texting people and hopefully pick the pace back up.

[BeerBaron]

We're going to start a clock at 8am eastern tomorrow. I'll continue to text people as I'm able, but your clock stats when the previous pick is made whether I text or not.

Please leave boards to expedite the process.

[TitanHope]

Jumped the gun. Whoops.

[Matthew Jones]

We might want to skip Damix, I don't know that he has checked in since his last time-out, but I could be wrong.

[TitanHope]

He's online. I PM'd him.

[BeerBaron]

I PMed him when his turn was up as well.

[TitanHope]

He's no longer online.

I'm at work trying to get ahead on some things, so I'll be around to make the Carolina pick. I've got it typed in and tabbed. Just let me know if ya'll want me to go head and submit.

[BeerBaron]

Yeah, go ahead and post it.

[BeerBaron]

Reminder, clock will start at 8am eastern tomorrow.

[BeerBaron]

It sucks that the combine basically happened between my last pick and my next one for both of my teams. Losing a lot of guys I was hoping would be there...

Lauletta I feel is going to go higher than this. I heard post-Senior Bowl chatter that he was Day 2, possibly even round 2. Comparisons to Garoppolo have some merit.

[Matthew Jones]

I'm about to go to sleep, I'll check in around 7 or so. In the off chance that we get to New England's pick before I post again, go ahead and skip me.

[scottyboy]

Texting, Scotty...

Me: You are OTC.
Scotty: Rutgers is on, nothing else exists at this point in time
Me: You have a big board that I can pass along?
Scotty:

I watch on an app, which is behind. Phone is away for spoilers. Rutgers > all else

It's fine. Make up your pick whenever you can.

[Damix]

Just skip my picks or someone pick for me, I'm touch and go on internet

[BeerBaron]

I'll take over.

[BeerBaron]

I'm about to head into a series of meetings that will take up most of the rest of my day. I'll check in as I'm able and text who I can.

[KCJ58]

I'll be here to make my back 2 back picks after the Texans, no need to text me.

[TitanHope]

I'll be here to make my back 2 back picks after the Texans, no need to text me.

You can go ahead and make your picks. The 30-min clock is up.

[BeerBaron]

Just got back. Texted Fenikz. Will give him a little time and then pick for SF.

[OSUGiants]

That’s a real solid draft for buffalo. White and Ward would be a filthy corner duo, and getting Allen and Rudolph as late as they did also pumps. One of them has to be at least better than Peterson. Real good values

[OSUGiants]

Also how long is this clock? An hour?

[TitanHope]

John Kelly went at pick 119, Jensen.

Clock is 30m.

[OSUGiants]

Cool I’ll make the Washington pick now

[BeerBaron]

I texted Jensen, I think he's going to fix it.

[Matthew Jones]

I don't think we'll end up making it to 205 today, but I'll be ready to pick if we do.

[BeerBaron]

I texted the next two people up. Let's call it a night for the clock. Will resume at 8am eastern tomorrow. (Of course, feel free to keep picking if you're up.)

[Matthew Jones]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osg5RqPtGtU

[Grizzlegom]

I don't get it

[Matthew Jones]

I don't get it

Bilal is on that track

[BeerBaron]

Just skip my picks or someone pick for me, I'm touch and go on internet

If you want back in, just let me know. Otherwise, I'll keep picking to keep us going. There are two Rams picks back to back coming up here.

[TitanHope]

I'm here to pick for Carolina at 9:30. Want to pick for Damix before he gets skipped, BB?

[BeerBaron]

Yeah, let me make some picks quick.

[BeerBaron]

I have a board for KC as well, one more second...

[JoeJoeBrown]

Thanks for running this BeerBaron!

[BeerBaron]

You're welcome. Sorry it's been a little more disjointed than usual. Going away for two days in the middle wasn't ideal.

[dg151]

Ooo Henderson could be fun in McVay's offense.

[BeerBaron]

That's what I was thinking. Tavon Austin replacement as a returner as well.

[MikeTheDudeV2]

Just a heads up that Baltimore needs to re-pick. I got Jaleel Scott in the 4th for Houston.

[BeerBaron]

It was even spelled correctly. I'll let him know.

[Grizzlegom]

I was totally going to take Cabinda here. Hrmph.

[Shylo3716]

Eagles Draft
1st
(32) Sony Michel, RB, Georgia
4th
(131) Micah Kiser, LB, Virginia
(132) Terrell Edmunds, S, Virginia Tech
5th
(156) Riley Ferguson, QB, Memphis
(169) Jake Wieneke, WR, South Dakota State
6th
(206) Tony Brown, CB, Alabama

[BeerBaron]

Good value I feel on Kiser and Edmunds, they were at the top of my board when you got them.

I think it would have been good to find some o-line depth at some point though. Seems to be a need area for the Eagles. The early run on guards didn't help.

[BeerBaron]

So, Jensen texted me back about Dallas' pick right after I texted Scotty about Tennessee, so I accidentally gave Burks (Dallas) to Tennessee. I corrected it. Shouldn't have affected anyone else.

[BeerBaron]

Six of the next Nine picks. Grizz's time to shine.

[Grizzlegom]

Finally!

[BeerBaron]

I'm headed to a series of meetings, so I'm going to pre-text a few people who are up in that span. Hopefully they don't hold you up.

[Grizzlegom]

and I'm done.

[BeerBaron]

I was pretty sure Barrett wasn't getting drafted unless one of the Ohio St. fans did it.

[dg151]

I can pick right?

[fischbowl]

Cleveland is finished:

1a) Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA
1b) Minkah Fitzpatrick, CB/S, Alabama
2a) Christian Kirk, WR, Texas A&M
2b) Leighton Vander Esch, LB, Boise State
2c) Nick Chubb, RB, Georgia
3) Tarvarus McFadden, CB, Florida State
4a) Brandon Parker, OT, North Carolina A&T
4b) Isaac Yiadom, CB, Boston College
5a) JoJo Wicker, DE, Arizona State
5b) Ian Thomas, TE, Indiana
6) Mike McCray, LB, Michigan
7) Steve Ishmael, WR, Syracuse

[dg151]

If you took Jackson instead of McFadden that would be the sexiest draft.

[dg151]

Giants draft

2 - QB Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma
34 - OL Billy Price, Ohio St.
66 - OT Chukwuma Okorafor, Western Michigan
71 - DL Chad Thomas, Miami
102 - RB Mark Walton, Miami
135 - DT Kendrick Norton, Miami
139 - OL Alex Cappa, Humboldt St.
176 - LB Matthew Thomas, Florida St.
220 - S Dane Cruikshank, Arizona

[Prock]

That's 6 less Miami players than I expected.

[dg151]

I didn't even mean to it just worked out! I was between Walton/Freeman but I'm a little afraid of Freeman's workload/health. Thomas and Norton were just the best 3-4 DL at those points.

I'm gettin those UDFA tho.

[KCJ58]

That's what I was thinking. Tavon Austin replacement as a returner as well.

Pharoh Cooper made the pro bowl as returner. So I don't know if it's a need.

[Grizzlegom]

Minnesota
30 Minnesota - OL Orlando Brown, Oklahoma
62 Minnesota - CB JC Jackson, Maryland
94 Minnesota - DT Foley Fatukasi, UCONN
167 Minnesota - QB Kyle Lauletta, Richmond
204 Minnesota - OG Taylor Hearn, Clemson
213 Minnesota (COMP) - P JK Scott, Alabama
219 Minnesota (COMP) - DE Olasunkanmi Adeniyi, Toledo

I apologize Vikings fans.

[Prock]

I mean, I think you hit all the positions well. I think Orlando Brown dislike is about universal now, and I don't know about Jackson or Fatukasi. Lauletta is great value.

[BeerBaron]

Pharoh Cooper made the pro bowl as returner. So I don't know if it's a need.

Then gadget player. It's the 6th round, if he produces anything at all it's a successful pick.

[MikeTheDudeV2]

Houston's draft is now wrapped up. I wanted to go offensive line earlier but the value just wasn't there in my opinion.

3-68: CB Donte Jackson, LSU
3-80: SS DeShon Elliott, Texas
3-98: DE Jeff Holland, Auburn
4-103: WR Jaleel Scott, New Mexico State
6-177: DT BJ Hill, NC State
6-211: OT Timon Parris, Stony Brook
6-214: OG KJ Malone, LSU
7-222: P Joseph Davidson, Bowling Green

[BeerBaron]

Jackson and Holland should end up going much higher than that, so good values there.

And yeah, the run on o-line in the 1st created this void which pulled up the next couple of tiers of prospects. A lot of o-line picks after that felt like reaches.

[Brothgar]

KC is Done

54 Kansas City - OLB Lorenzo Carter, Georgia
78 Kansas City (via Wsh) - WR Michael Gallup, Colorado St.
86 Kansas City - QB Mike White, Western Kentucky

(4) 107 NY Jets - RB Royce Freeman, Oregon
(5) 157 NY Jets (from DAL) - OLB Shaquem Griffin, UCF
(6) 179 NY Jets - LB Joel Lanning, Iowa St.

[BeerBaron]

I need to step out for a bit. I have Denver's board, so no one skip them. I'll make the pick once I'm back.

[JoeJoeBrown]

I think Oakland is a great landing place for JT Barrett. Nice pick.

[dg151]

Herndon would have been a 3rd/4th rounder if he didn't hurt his knee.

[fenikz]

Fuck the Colts, Braxton Berrios needs to stay in Miami

[fenikz]

11 Miami - S Derwin James, Florida St.
42 Miami - DE Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, Oklahoma
73 Miami - TE Hayden Hurst, S. Carolina
111 Miami - RB Kalen Ballage, Arizona St.
130 Miami (from MIN) - LB Jerome Baker, Ohio St.
183 Miami - QB Nick Shimonek, Texas Tech
223 Miami (from TB) - DE, Ja'Von Rolland-Jones, Arkansas St.
229 Miami - OL Coleman Shelton, Washington

meh

[BeerBaron]

Texted Scotty. I'm going to stop the clock for tonight. Will restart at 8am eastern tomorrow.

[TitanHope]

Green Bay

14 Green Bay - DT Vita Vea, Washington

(2) 49 NY Jets (via SEA) - WR DJ Chark, LSU
(3) 72 NY Jets - DE Da'Shawn Hand, Alabama
(4) 107 NY Jets - RB Royce Freeman, Oregon
(5) 157 NY Jets (from DAL) - OLB Shaquem Griffin, UCF
(6) 179 NY Jets - LB Joel Lanning, Iowa St.

I really like this draft. I feel like you hit on a bunch of needs for the Jets, and not trading up to get their QB (assuming Kirk goes elswhere obviously).

[Brothgar]

Denver
Traded pick #71 for Eli Manning
5 Denver - OG Quenton Nelson, Notre Dame
40 Denver - DT Tim Settle, Virginia Tech
99 Broncos (COMP) - LB Josey Jewell, Iowa
106 Denver - OT Geron Christian, Louisville
109 Denver (from SF) - K Daniel Carlson, Auburn
142 Denver - RB Bo Scarbrough, Alabama
163 Denver (from ATL) - RB Nyheim Hines, NC St. (want to try him at Slot WR)
182 Denver - OT Brett Toth, Army
225 Denver - C Brian Allen, Mich. St.

[TitanHope]

Anyone have a board from Scotty/Arizona?

[dg151]

The Jets draft could have easily been my Giants draft. I considered Darnold/Daniels/Hand/Freeman/Griffin at each of my picks before that Jets pick.

Bears draft

8 Chicago - LB Roquan Smith, Georgia
59 CB Carlton Davis, Auburn
74 WR Dante Pettis, Washington
105 EDGE Dorance Armstrong, Kansas
115 CB Rashaan Gaulden, Tennessee
145 DL Nathan Shephard, Fort Hays St.
181 WR Javon Wims, Georgia
224 EDGE Leon Jacobs, Wisconsin

Smith/Armstrong/Shephard/Jacobs is some sexy front 7 talent. Glad I got to move down and get a 3rd round pick back. Davis/Pettis/Gaulden/Wims isn't bad.

[Grizzlegom]

Oakland

10 Oakland - LB Tremaine Edmunds, Virginia Tech
41 Oakland - CB Mike Hughes, UCF
75 Oakland - WR DaeSean Hamilton, Penn State
110 Oakland - RB Akrum Wadley, Iowa
185 Oakland - OT Zachary Crabtree, OK St.
192 Oakland (from SEA) - DT Bilal Nichols, Delaware
210 Oakland (COMP) - TE Adam Breneman, UMass
212 Oakland (COMP) - LB Nick DeLuca, ND St.
216 Oakland (COMP) - S Sean Chandler, Temple
217 Oakland (COMP) - QB JT Barrett, Ohio St.
228 Oakland - FB Dimitri Flowers, Oklahoma

Not gonna lie, I'm a fan of this draft for Oakland. *pats self on back*

[BeerBaron]

It's not bad. I don't think they'd go Smith IRL, and he's also a questionable fit in Fangio's scheme, but he's talented enough that I could see him developing into a Navarro Bowman type.

They're probably keeping Kyle Fuller on the transition tag, so it lessens the immediate need for a corner, but you still got a few.

As long as they find at least one sure starter at WR in free agency or trade, adding a few more in the middle-late rounds is ok.

Would have liked to see an o-lineman somewhere. As I've mentioned for a few others, the early run on OL pushed some of the middle and lower tier guys up, so I can't fault you much for that.

[badger]

I think Jacobs is a great pick that late. The Badgers moved him around a lot (OLB->FB->ILB->OLB if I remember correctly) which had to have impacted his development, but he’s a freak athletically as the combine showed. Worst case scenario, he can be a versatile back up linebacker who could excel on every special teams unit.

[BeerBaron]

I like Ford. There are maybe a half dozen teams in the league that run schemes where he could be a great undersized NT. I can't remember if it was the Shrine game or the Senior Bowl, but a quote on him was that he's like "dropping an anvil in the middle of the field".

[Jensen]

Dallas draft

19 Dallas - OG Will Hernandez, UTEP
50 Dallas - S Justin Reid, Stanford
81 Dallas - WR Deon Cain, Clemson
116 Dallas - DT Derrick Nnadi, Florida St.
137 Dallas (COMP) - LB Jack Cichy, Wisconsin
171 Dallas (COMP) - TE Troy Fumagalli, Wisconsin
173 Dallas (COMP) - DE Kylie Fitts, Utah
193 Dallas - LB Oren Burks, Vanderbilt
208 Dallas (COMP) - CB Taron Johnson, Weber St.
236 Dallas - S Godwin Igwebuike, Northwestern

Who is this for?

Where did you find that? Please tell me they have all the positions so I can laugh at Orlando Brown

Carolina Panthers are done!

24 Carolina - WR Courtland Sutton, SMU
55 Carolina - CB Jaire Alexander, Louisville
85 Carolina (via Buf) - DE Duke Ejiofor, Wake Forest
88 Carolina - OL Martinas Rankin, Miss. St.
161 Carolina - OG Colby Gossett, App St.
197 Carolina - WR Simmie Cobbs, Indiana
234 Carolina (from LAC) - DT Kahlil McKenzie, Tennessee
239 Carolina (from BUF) - CB Charvarius Ward, Memphis
242 Carolina - TE Cam Serigne, Wake Forest

[Prock]

28 Pittsburgh - S Ronnie Harrison, Alabama
60 Pittsburgh - LB Malik Jefferson, Texas
92 Pittsburgh - CB Nick Nelson, Wisconsin
148 Pittsburgh (from SF) - WR Daurice Fountain, N. Iowa
165 Pittsburgh - TE Dalton Schultz, Stanford
246 Pittsburgh - RB Kyle Hicks, TCU

I don't love any of the players I took but they seemed to be decent value at positions of need. In an alternate universe I took Jaire Alexander, Kyzir White, and Josey Jewell in the first three rounds and I think I would have been happier.

[BeerBaron]

Brownleader should be coming to make his picks. I'll keep going for Cincy and make my Atlanta pick.

Fenikz, want to fill in for Arizona's missed picks?

TH, you can do the same for Tennessee.

Texted BL about needing to repick btw.

if someone can't bother doing a cntrl-f, why bother telling them they have to pick again.

[JoeJoeBrown]

Baltimore Draft is complete.

Assumed Pre-draft needs: WR, OLB, OT, Interior OL.

16 Baltimore - WR Calvin Ridley, Alabama (https://www.mockdraftable.com/player/calvin-ridley)
- I like receivers that run good routes and can catch, he does both.

52 Baltimore - OT Brian O'Neill, Pitt (https://www.mockdraftable.com/player/brian-oneill)
- Likely reach, but I love his athleticism and he seems to be continuously improving. Moves like an athletic TE.

83 Baltimore - LB Darius Leonard, SC St. (https://www.mockdraftable.com/player/darius-leonard)
-Athletic and instinctual LB.

118 Baltimore - G Will Clapp, LSU (https://www.mockdraftable.com/player/will-clapp)
-By far my worst pick. I like his versatility, but he has short arms and isn't athletic.

154 Baltimore - OT Desmond Harrison, West Georgia (https://www.mockdraftable.com/player/desmond-harrison)
-This guy has the chance to be an absolutely elite tackle. Had serious off the field issues at UT to the point where he almost went to jail for a long time and never saw the field. If he is over that, watch out. Dude needs work on his skills, as he just relied on athleticism to beat everyone at the small school level.

190 Baltimore - WR Trey Quinn, SMU (https://www.mockdraftable.com/player/trey-quinn)
-He has good hands and runs good routes. Excelled at a small school. Average athlete, average size, strong for a WR. Could be an NFL slot receiver.

215 Baltimore (COMP) - OL Greg Senat, Wagner (https://www.mockdraftable.com/player/greg-senat)
-Very good small school prospect. He's quick, has long arms, and has decent explosion. Needs more body mass. Needs a lot of coaching as he is a basketball player first.

238 Baltimore - DE Tyquan Lewis, Ohio St. (https://www.mockdraftable.com/player/tyquan-lewis)
-No way this guy is making it to the 7th round. He started off really well at OSU, but he started to lose time to Joey Bosa, Sam Hubbard, Nick Bosa, and Jaylyn Holmes. Two of those are first round picks, Hubbard is a borderline first, and Holmes is likely a 3rd-4th rounder. Lewis will be a good rotation EDGE guy. Not a starter. Could also beef up and become an interior player.

[BeerBaron]

I need to step away for a bit so I'm going to throw in Cincy's picks. I think BL is in the middle of repicking.

[TitanHope]

[Grizzlegom]

I took fatukasi a while ago

[OSUGiants]

Washington Draft:
1. Da’Ron Payne, DL, Alabama
- if I could do it over again I would’ve taken Vea, but re-uniting Payne with Allen isn’t bad

2. D.J. Moore WR, Maryland
- A nice speedy, RAC kind of received for Alex Smith to hit on all those dunk and dunks. Adding Moore with Crowder, Thompson, and Reed will make Smith feel at home in D.C.

4. Luke Falk, QB, Washington St.
- Great value, no real QB of the future on the roster. Needs work, but he can sit behind Smith and learn. Could get a shot for the starting job in a few years.

5. Duke Dawson, CB, Florida
- Primarily a slot corner. Kyle Fuller replacement. Should’ve addressed CB earlier and thought of taking Ward at 13.

6. Ade Aruna, DL, Tulane
- Didn’t know who to take and saw he had decent combine numbers for a man his size.

7. Damon Webb, DB, Ohio State
- Know the skins need safety help and Webb was one of the only names I still recongnized this late. Around round 6 I realized how thin my draft knowledge is this year.

7. Josh Adams, RB, Notre Dame
- Should compliment Chris Thompson and Samaje Perine well

[BeerBaron]

That was so long ago I didn't even notice...

[TitanHope]

Bah, who chooses to go by Foley instead of Folorunso? Waste of a cool name.

I'll repick.

[TitanHope]

With the 256th pick, Mr. Irrelevant of the 2018 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons select:

DT PJ Hall, Sam Houston St.

https://m.popkey.co/53257f/0DmrW.gif

[BeerBaron]

It was painful in the middle, but we did rounds 6 and 7 in like two days, so I'll take that.

[BeerBaron]

Decided not to do UDFA because I think we're all probably pretty burnt out, but here are the last couple of guys on my board:

DT Lowell Lotuleiei, Utah (Actually had him ahead of Hall, but I liked Hall's production and hate Lowell's reported laziness)
WR Deontay Burnett, USC
DL Andrew Brown, Virginia
CB Quenton Meeks, Stanford
RB Justin Jackson, Northwestern
WR Byron Pringle, Kansas State
CB Grant Haley, Penn St.

[Grizzlegom]

Grant Haley is a lot better at football than Christian Campbell. Haley has the makings of a very good nickel corner, he should get drafted.
