Round 1 and GM's

Spoiler:

Round 2

Spoiler:

Round 3

Spoiler:

Let it begin...

Theres no great rush (NFL draft ain't until May) but if anyone is away for a few days then PM me some options and i'll do my best.

If any mods want to update this OP then pls do (i'm not always online).
Also, if someone could post the draft value graph from previous threads then that would be great.

Bengals select...

Dee Ford, DE, Auburn.

Pure speed off the snap to get round the Tackle. Bengals are likely to let Michael Johnson hit Free Agency and Ford is an immediate replacement with better pass rushing skills.

Tempted to go Verrett because I love his game, but Ford was too good an opportunity.

I would be willing to trade back with the Chargers if anyone wants to move up?

Ill give you 77

I take it you get 25 and I get 45 and 77?

Why not

Go for that then.

I was going to trade with one of my other teams (Minnesota) but would rather give someone else to opportunity.

The Lions react to the run on WRs and select Kelvin Benjamin.

Stafford gets labelled as simply throwing to Megatron, but given the rest of his weapons, why wouldn't you? Durham isn't cut out for a starting role, Pettigrew didn't live up to his draft slot. Benjamin's a raw prospect with combined with Megatron and Fauria he gives Stafford a trio of guys who can go up and get it

Kelvin Benjamin is a prospect I just don't get.

Well this worked out well for the Raiders. 

With pick #26 the Raiders select Derek Carr, QB

We need a QB and it's decent value to grab Carr here and use our other picks for depth elsewhere. 

P.S. sorry, mikey, I didn't want to trade down any more!

I didn't think you'd want to trade out of the 1st round completely.

Offer still stands for BamBam or you for the Vikings #40 and #72 picks.

Thanks for picking for me as requested...

I wasn't sure how fast the draft would go, maybe it went a little quicker than I guessed, but there was no way I was sending in a list of 15 picks queued up for the Packers pick!

Saints take Kyle Fuller, CB, Va Tech

Always was going to be a corner, and went with Fuller over Verrett because of the size of receivers in the NFC South - Jackson, Jones etc

BTW the pats are looking to trade down unsurprisingly

any volunteers to GM for the soon upcoming Broncos?

Panthers select Bradley Roby, CB, Ohio State

Really tricky decision for the Panthers because they need a WR too. I basically decided that there will be decent value receiving options in the later rounds and that help in the secondary was necessary. With a dominant front 7 there probably isn't a better place for a rookie corner to go.

I thought I was!

The Vikings will trade their #40 and #96 picks for the Patriots #29 pick?

Deal mikey

With the 29th pick the Minnesota Vikings draft:-

Timmy Jernigan, DT, Florida State, 6'3", 299lbs

I'd consider offers

well done, now added to the list  

Lions select Jason Verrett

Denver select Kony Ealy, DE, Missouri

Ideally they may have wanted a corner here now old man Bailey is gone, but the first round talent is off the board so they can address it in FA or later in the draft. They need DEs to play in their 4-3 and Ealy has the requisite size and pass rushing talent.

with the 32nd pick the Seahawks select

Xavier Su'a-Filo, OG, UCLA

If only for his wonderful name.   

All done. Only took 16 days   

Round 2 thread up...

Results now in...

I think we all did pretty good, especially ME   

I got Watkins going at 4 (although to the Browns), and Mosley going to the Ravens at 17   

Clowney, Mack, Ford and Su'a-Filo were all just one pick out. Good effort chaps.

Biggest Round 1 drops were Bridgewater (-31) and Nix (3rd round).
Biggest climber was Kyle Fuller (+13).
