did you use the simulator?

i don't think scherff will be there at 19. i think he'll prob be the first OL off the board.

Yeah. He definitely won't be there at 19, but had to take him since he was still on the board for some reason.

Still believe with Mack back only need plug in on line or upgrade Schwartz. Alternate DT and OLB(Mingo) at Pick 12 And 19 (biggest need) At 12 looks like Shelton and B. McKinney gone but OLB Fowler and DT Goldman both there (Fowler higher rate). At 19 go opposite position of 12 and OLB V. Beasley, DT M. Brown or ILB Perryman is there. At 43 (hate Cam Erving is gone) but OT Ogbuehi and QB Hundley is there. At 77 stock will be up on WR Tyler Lockett passing on LB DePriest and OL Tomlinson. At picks 108 and 112 it's best player available not filled needs QB,TE and OL, (No Hundley at 77) BPAvailable(at 108 and 112) include QB's Grayson, Mannion.TE Heuerman and OL Havenstein (J Thomas brother from another mother at Wisconsin). Still WR's on the board that fit's us...

FanSpeak... not realistic, but interesting.

For first time Mariotta fell to me at 12... I thought for a while, but finally had to... didn't turn out too badly.

First Pick a bit more fun added with trade potential.

Your Picks:

Round 2 Pick 11: Benardrick McKinney, ILB, Mississippi State (A)

Round 7 Pick 12: Antwan Goodley, WR, Baylor (C-)

Computer didn't like my reach on Philon out of Arky-he would be one for the developmental PS.

And it stole Tyler Lockett out of Kan and Crowder out of Duke from me, each about a pick or two above me. Next time I trade for 'em.

Mudfly

yep, liked the first pick better....and, being the evil minded person that I am, I took a trade down....why not....

Derrick Lott is a good player who is going to make a team.

That sim was the first I'd heard of him actually. Looks to have potential as a 3-4 DE.

The Gipper

I tried an experiment with it: When it was the Browns pick I took the person at the very top of the list....the supposed BPA....and this is what I came up with:

1A. Eddie Goldman DT FSU

1B. Alvin Dupree DE Kentucky

2. Melvin Gordon RB Wisc.

3. Cameron Erving C FSU

4A. TJ Yeldon RB Alabama

4B. Breshard Perriman WR UCG

5. Steven Nelson CB Oregon

6A Cedric Thompson CB Minnesota

6B. Derrick Lott DT Tenn.-Chattanooga

7. Levi Norwood WR Baylor.

Yea, strictily taking the #1 guy left on the board garnered me 2 big name RBs. Like I said, I didn't draft for need.

gftChris

Gip - if you have time, maybe tweak it a little, so that if the guy at the top of the list is a position of need, you take him, else you trade down to the next highest on offer?

TexasAg1969

You are lucky Gip-I tried that and it kept putting OG AJ Cann which I kept dropping down for more picks until forced to take him at 17. Then I had 2nd day player Ameer Abdullah until I just took him at 22. I could not stand it when it tried to pass off a second C on me at pick 16 in the 4th round and took the second guy, a WR. So using the drop down method got me 4 extra players but never got me the OT or DT I really needed.

Your score is: 4782 (GRADE: A-)

Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 17 (S.D.): A.J. Cann, OG, South Carolina (B-)
Round 1 Pick 22 (PITT): Ameer Abdullah, RB, Nebraska (B-)
Round 2 Pick 11: Arik Armstead, DE, Oregon (A)
Round 2 Pick 14 (S.F.): Anthony Harris, SS/FS, Virginia (C+)
Round 2 Pick 16 (S.D.): Benardrick McKinney, ILB, Mississippi State (A)
Round 2 Pick 21 (CINN): Chris Hackett, FS, TCU (A-)
Round 2 Pick 24 (PITT): Clive Walford, TE, Miami (Fla.) (
Round 3 Pick 13: Andy Gallik, C, Boston College (B+)
Round 4 Pick 12: Anthony Chickillo, DE, Miami (Fla.) (C-)
Round 4 Pick 16: Breshad Perriman, WR, UCF (A)
Round 5 Pick 11: Austin Hill, WR, Arizona (C-)
Round 6 Pick 13: Adam Shead, OG, Oklahoma (D+)
Round 6 Pick 26: Antwan Goodley, WR, Baylor (D)
Round 7 Pick 12: Blake Bell, TE, Oklahoma (D-)

AG - are you sure your list wasn't just sorted alphabetically? On first-pick that's how it's done and the format of your results looks like you took it from there...just a thought

tiamat63

No thanks to Arik Armstead. He has a lean frame that could use more weight, poor hands usage, he can't convert speed to power, questionable burst and has heavy feet that seem to stop moving when he (easily) get's locked up by a guard or tackle. He is the quintessential tweener that really won't be suited for either 3 or 5 tech at the next level.

Went with the simulator Tour posted... I accepted 3 trade downs and still got what I wanted.

our Picks:
Round 1 Pick 17 (S.D.): Danny Shelton, DT, Washington
Round 1 Pick 23 (DET): Benardrick McKinney, ILB, Mississippi State
Round 2 Pick 11: Laken Tomlinson, OG, Duke
Round 2 Pick 15 (MIA): Nate Orchard, OLB/DE, Utah
Round 2 Pick 16 (S.D.): Devin Smith, WR, Ohio State
Round 3 Pick 4 (OAK): Garrett Grayson, QB, Colorado State
Round 3 Pick 20 (PHI): Nick O'Leary, TE, Florida State
Round 4 Pick 3 (OAK): Breshad Perriman, WR, UCF
Round 4 Pick 12: Deshazor Everett, CB, Texas A&M
Round 4 Pick 16: Cameron Artis-Payne, RB, Auburn
Round 4 Pick 20 (PHI): Deion Barnes, DE, Penn State
Round 5 Pick 11: Jamon Brown, OT, Louisville
Round 6 Pick 13: Max Garcia, C, Florida
Round 6 Pick 26: Tevin McDonald, FS/SS, Eastern Washington
Round 7 Pick 12: Jared Roberts, K, Colorado State
Round 7 Pick 15 (MIA): Trey DePriest, ILB, Alabama

I went on a run of offense between the 2nd and 4th round. The nice thing about the trade down(s) is that I stockpiled 2nd round picks for players that just need a little work but could be great contributors in their rookie season if need be. I addressed guard early as Tomlinson can be a worthy stand in (god forbid) someone should go down. Likewise snatching up Max Garcia in the 6th. He has the athletic ability to play almost anywhere on the line in a pinch.

Defense dominating early. Shelton, McKinney (should appease some people here that want an ILB) and Nate Orchard to satisfy my tastes. Devin, Grayson and O'Leary. 2 of the 3 might have been a little 'high' but with the picks accrued, I felt comfortable taking the shot. Overall I'd love to see something quite like this, although I'm certain it wont be even close. That said, I realize after looking at the Browns original picks that we are in a prime position to trade down not just once, but twice in the first round alone if Shelton is gone at 12.

Tour2ma

Gip was experimenting with the FanSpeak draft. It orders the remaining prospects per the order in whichever model you chose in the set up. They vary widely... especially the latest one by the Bleecher contributor.

The FirstPick sim lists prospects alphabetically by first name so alphabetically your team is tops Ag...

Round 1 Pick 21 (CINN): Cameron Erving, OT/OG, Florida State (

That's Oregon STATE, dipshit. He was the best player on the team this year. He'd be a smokin deal for anyone in round 5.
