Fanspeak draft simulator (You make the picks)

How is it some of you get grades with your draft? I have done it a couple of times but never got a grade.

Grades are on First-Pick, bp...

This would be a beast of a draft.....
-
I could have taken Winston with my first pick, but I passed on him. Would you guys have taken him
-
-
I was thinking though.... Everyone else is passing on him, so what makes him good for us and bad for them?
In this hypothetical situation, many things could be a factor.

First Free Agency:CUT
Travis Benjamin WR Rodney Smith WR Jim Dray TE Paul McQuistan T Phil Bates WR Vinston Painter T
Benjamin is just not the same and likely wont be. There have to be better options. I would also cut Barnridge TE based on my draft
SIGNED PLAYERSName / Position / Cap Hit - Brian Hoyer QB 3,750,000 Jeremy Maclin WR 7,350,000 Miles Austin WR 1,000,000 Jermaine Gresham TE 4,500,000 Ndamukong Suh DT 8,800,000 David Harris ILB 4,900,000 Buster Skrine CB 1,800,000
Yep paid a shitload for Suh and Harris, probably overpaid for Maclin but they are top notch adds, Tashaun was not listed but I would tag him. I also believe Gresham is an upgrade over Cameron. Would have signed Julius Thomas if available.
Cap Space Remaining: 51,744,743 - Franchise tag cap hit of Tashaun Gibson, still a pretty hefty stash of cash
My 2015 Draft - note that if trades had been allowed I would have taken a 3 for Manziel , I will also add that if that was the case I may have taken OT in the 3rd as I really debated on Collins at 19.

I must be confused, the Browns have 50 million cap now, and you sign all those guys, but still have 51 million left? It looks like you maybe spent 30 million of that cap, so wouldn't you only have 20 million left to sign rookies and extend contracts with? I don't disagree with the signings, but i think on suh, and maclin they are actually undervalued. I hope they don't spend that much personally though, we need cap to extend other players coming off in a year or two.

he was available for mine, and I passed as well. To much risk:

Mostly, at the heart of the sim, a random number generator.

The "first-pick" simulator almost always sends Shelton to Oakland at #4 and if gets past them he rarely gets past Chicago at #7. I think the real draft will play out in a similar manner.
-
I play as the other teams (to get my "God Score"... feeds my complex) and check what the sim chose for us.
9 times out of 10 it's Kevin White at 12 and Malcom Brown at 19. I could live with that.
Eric Kendricks shows up a lot as our new ILB as does Bryce Petty as our project QB.

Starting to see a lot of movement in the First-pick rankings...
Former Day 1 prospects Funchess and McKinney are now Day 2...
Former Day 3 prospect and small school wunderkind, Marpet is now a solid Day 2 guy..

That and the most recent wave of mocks...
The PlayTheDraft game that Mud and I are playing has an interesting player ranking mechanism that's an algorithm based upon a combination of key Mocks and select scout reports. It has predicted many of the sims' moves.
One group that has moved up significantly as of late is the CB group. Byron Jones (UConn) has risen the most and is on the verge of becoming a 2nd rounder (as is Marpet). Trey Waynes still leads the CB group and is just outside the top ten.
