The Browns are on the clock!

[PoeticG]

Just for laughs, let's say we decided to trade the Number one overall to Cincy, for Dalton and McCarron- plus! the offer on the table. Cincy wants their newest red head and they'll get their Darnold Ronald MacDonald looking mofo lol

So we're moving back and getting Hue's "guy" Dalton and McCarron. Kizer goes to the bench as the 3. Kessler is cut and Hogan goes to New England. 

Bengals are on the clock... 

-Well, haha. That didn't work out, they just took Orlando Brown #1 overall. 

[Dutch Oven]

What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is a-goin' on here?

[PoeticG]

Okay, so Cincy keeps Dalton and we get McCarron and Burfict instead. (Browns get- McCarron/Burfict and Cincy's 1st, 2nd and 3rd)

The Giants go ahead and take Darnold. 

The Jet's then jump us and trade with the Colts to draft Rosen just before we're on the clock. 

It's okay though, we really like Mayfield anyways  

The Browns are on the clock...

[PoeticG]

After debating on whether or not to go a different route, taking Williams OT from texas to begin to replace the legend at LT and Vita Vea to put next to Shelton and create a Ham AND Pineapple pizza, I decided to go after one of our biggest needs- RB(Since I believe in Gordon being our #1 WR and recently selecting Corey Coleman in the first round, plus I've already agreed to terms with Terrel Pryor for a 3 year deal. And QB is no longer the biggest need since I went and got Hue "his guy" in McCarron)

The Browns select- Saquon Barkley! To the delight of many barking Browns Fans.

[PoeticG]

Indy is back at the wheeling and dealing. They are offering 3!!! second round picks to move back up. Silly Colts, I'll take that and 'own' the second round with 7!!! selections. lol I love this game.

... or maybe I'll make that pizza? Damn, now I'm torn... and hungry. What should we do? Take the 2nd round picks or take Vita to pair with Shelton? That could put the front 7 over the top!

So- 

1) 7 picks in the 2nd round

-or-

2)Take Vita at 12 and create a NASTY front 7?

[Soju]

dont overthink this.  You take Rosen and Barkley 1 and 4 and call it a good draft.  Everything else is icing on the cake

I take that Jets offer 10 out of 10 times (and have in first-pick drafts) . I end up drafting 4 picks in round 1. You have 4 and 6, swing the 2019 Jets and a 2 for around pick 10 and bundle 2's and 3's to draft in the 20's. You easily get Barkley, Fitzpatrick , a top tier WR and a QB like Allen or Mayfield.

I thought about that but elite Safeties like Thomas usually play at a pretty high level into their mid 30's and in rare cases like Charles Woodson, they make the Pro Bowl at 39 lol.

I think we have enough draft picks this year and last year to get a ton of top young talent, but maybe they need some elite vets like Thomas and a wildcard like Sherman who may or may not still be a shutdown corner after his surgery.  Not often are players who are considered one of the best of all time at their position become available in their prime.

We'd still be getting the #18 overall which is a VERY great talent and every year a stud drops to around that point who has the talent to go top 10.

Give a third rounder for him...maybe.  Nothing above that.

Fuyuck your stupid games.

As long as we don't take Saquon Barkley #1 overall, I'm fine with your mental masturbation games. (actually, I could live with Barkley #1, Mayfield #4) I don't play that game- I'm with Gipper- I got better things to do with my time- like argue with Cal why I think Josh Allen is gonna suck as a pro.  

PS- real life, the pundits are saying Barkley falls no farther than #3 to the Colts, assuming they don't trade down. In that real life scenario should they trade down, we get the pick of the litter QB @ #1 overall, and get Saquon at #4, assuming we decide we'd rather go offense than defense (Fitzpatrick).  

PPS- Currently, I wouldn't be at all shocked if QBs go #1, #2, and #3.

Josh Allen will suck as a pro.  

I'd prefer QB at 1 (whoever Dorsey likes as long as it isn't Josh Kizer...I mean Allen)  and then I'd take Fitzpatrick at 4.   The ghost of Trent Richardson still haunts us to this day taking a RB that high in round 1 when there's plenty of top RB in the league taken in rounds 2 or 3.    A bit scared off by Barkley seemingly disappearing in games plenty of times this season.

Cleaning your navel?

Game is pretty silly right now, but closer to the draft it has a place and as more and more evaluations come out and the sim gets more "realistic". It actually helps me think about priorities, the depth of various positions, etc.

I like that you can simply click on a player's name and it will pretty much google him. Once the combine rolls around they usually attach the numbers right to the player. Pretty awesome game. Since I don't watch college, it helps me see who did what from where and how well.
