I've never been so distracted; but I got a lot of intriguing trade offers.  I wish I drafted a Center somewhere.

Wow, that’s like 2 drafts’s worth of players.

I traded down at 6 like I expect.  Got 3 picks from Minnesota.  I also did just 5 rounds.

Man, if Ditka postponed his 1st round draft day walk-off until after round 5 with the type of drafting you just did - he might have lasted longer than a couple cups of coffee in New Orleans...  Austin Barber is a reliable LT flying under the radar. He started 38 games (including 5 games as a Freshman while playing in 13 games that year).  Good pick at #107.  Another LT like this is Northwestern's Caleb Tiernan who will go somewhere close to where you took Barber. Here's a cut and paste about Tiernan:

I doubled up on OT, LB, Edge and S so that if even one of each is a "hit" that helps the Browns.

You & Ballpeen did a great job!   After trading back, you crushed those 1st 3 picks and the mo-jo continued all the way to the end.  I also got a kick out of the all players you chose that attended Texas schools.  You're definitely a football Pa-try-it to your state - but it works...

And I'm counting on us picking up veteran guard and OT in FA before this draft. Need people in there to settle in rookies in the OL.

WOW!  JJmac goes master of all trades and brings in 18 new players hungry to shine on their opportunity to launch their DREAM career.  They'll be up for some kickoff and kickass. 

Way to go with both Mock Drafts JJ!

SUPER BOWL !!! 

[Dutch Oven]

I saw a hypothetical draft trade scenario, what’s your thoughts boys?:

Browns send their #6 and 39 picks to Dallas. They receive the Cowboys #12 and 20 picks.

So the Browns first three picks go from 6, 24 and 39 to 12, 20 and 24.

In this draft, I’d pull the trigger.

We could get a LT & WR out of those three I'm sure.

....or we trade 'em to the Raiders for Mendoza.

THREE 1st Round Picks this year?  YES PLEASE even if Poor Kvoethe is still having nightmares about the last time he saw mommy kissing and caressing Santa Claus; and now he's gotta watch it 3 times in 1 night...

I would.  I think it would bring some players we want to draft in to a more realistic fit between player and value. It would also give you 3 players who you could potentially have 5 years of contract control. The negative is you might have a contract imbalance with 3 top players needing an extension at the same time.

I suppose you could extend some early, I am not sure how early you can start that process, and I suppose you could trade somebody if the contract logjam looks to be unmanageable.

I think that we are going to have to select a player at #6.  I don't see why any team would trade up in this draft.

Best guess here -  there's a few players in this draft (especially on defense) that could get teams on the phone discussing possible trades early in round 1.
