Just no to Watson @ #1, Pocic won't go in the first, and Switzer will be long gone by the seventh.

I agree with Gip. if you want to play Fantasy Draft, I'm starting a new thread just for that. This one is already 71 pages. AND I'm closing this thread and starting a new one draft talk #2. Reality only there, talking about prospects, keep the computer games out of it, please .

Here's the simsational results for us. Again the sim stands pat thru #33 and then trades up into the 3rd like crazy...

5. Cleveland Browns - 9675

Well, OK, we shall see. I mean, I don't care if we get Derek Barnett, or Dick Barnett (former NBA player), or Dirk Bennett (porn star).

Just do the Casey Stengal thing: Get us someone that can play this game.

More of an ironic kind of comment for going against the 'popular' pick. Or even when my pick isn't the popular one.

Do I think they're all wrong? No, not one bit. Just about all?... yep. After the combine I'm willing to bet Barnetts' draft stock takes a serious hit.

Always interesting to see what the sim does when picking for us... I took BLT... the sim took:

Basically trade-wise it stood pat thru pick #33 and then went nuts... but landed some good value.

@tiamat63 said:

What have you done wrong that you have to be vindicated for? Just about all the rankers have this guy...Barnett.. ranked in like the Top 15 players.

Do you think they are all wrong and only you are right?

If we sign Collins, I don't want to draft any other LBs at all unless it's Foster or a day 3 flier like a Boulware.

@the-gipper said:

Others have had the opposite opinion. I guess it just goes to show.

I look forward to being vindicated again.

nobody cares about these unrealistic computer fantasy mocks. If this had even the slightest chance of happening in real life, I'd be pumped, but it doesnt. Maybe these fantasy mocks need their own thread?

I don't know if it's unrealistic. The #1 pick can obviously be turned into two first rounders. 12 could be a bit more difficult but not impossible by any means. Will we do it? Who knows.

This is actually pretty close to my perfect draft. Even down to Foreman and Switzer.

It could be wishful thinking, but Kizer is the "other" Ohio QB I would like to see in Orange & Brown.

Your score is: 10373 (GRADE: B+)

Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 3 (CHI): Myles Garrett, DE/OLB, Texas A&M (A+)
Round 1 Pick 12: Reuben Foster, ILB, Alabama (A+)
Round 2 Pick 1: DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame (B+)
Round 2 Pick 20: Gareon Conley, CB, Ohio State (A)
Round 3 Pick 1: T.J. Watt, OLB, Wisconsin (A)
Round 3 Pick 3 (CHI): Dorian Johnson, OG, Pittsburgh (A-)
Round 4 Pick 1: Marcus Maye, FS, Florida (A-)
Round 5 Pick 32: D'Onta Foreman, RB, Texas (A+)
Round 6 Pick 1: Ryan Switzer, WR, North Carolina (A-)

Your Future Picks:
2018 Round 1 Pick
2019 Round 1 Pick

Its just stupid. I mean I thought I could perhaps manage a twofer with Megan Fox and Jennifer Lawrence. About as likely as your scenario.

@poeticg said:

Just - STOP. 95% of us don't care.

@the-gipper said:

Again? Give it a freeking rest PG.

Back at it! I drafted this just a couple minutes ago. Gotta watch a movie with the family then maybe I'll try again! But this was a good run.

Please don't. You are boring us to tears.

How about actually talking about some of the players you would like to draft.

I thought that acquiring four first rounders while being able to keep our 2018-19 first round selections was an epic and masterful move... I guess you disagree...

It's a damn computer game that will never happen in reality. The only draft that really matters is the end of April. FWIW, I just fantasized I'm Kevin Costner, and got a date with Jennifer Garner.

I just traded our entire 2018 draft, amazing what I came up with.

epic and masterful on a computer. While you're at it...why not trade our 2025 6th round pick for Aaron Rodgers. Trade our 2026 7th round pick for Khalil Mack as well. Might as well do these things if we're going to live in fantasy land.

As far as the QB position is concerned, my guess for our future goes something like this: We draft Garrett or Allen at one, and then we take a QB with the #12 pick. If two of the top three QB prospects are taken within the top 7 picks, I could see us trading with Carolina to the #8 pick in order to vault over the Bills, who will also require a QB. Additionally, I see us signing Tyrod Taylor to be the veteran starter and hold it down so our rookie can learn. Tyrod won't set the universe on fire, but I'll take him instantly.

Hopefully we DON'T have to trade with Carolina, thus keeping our bevy of picks. If we don't have to trade, I see the draft going like this: Garrett, Watson/Kizer, DB/S, and OL with our first four picks.
