Round 1 and GM's

Spoiler:

Round 2

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.

And as a hint, Louis Nix would make a lot of sense

Ok ill take Louis Nix.

Bull, good choice. I don't think Sam is a top 50 (100) player in this draft.

I know nothing of college football, but a quick look at nfl.com has top 50 boards and top 5 players by position. I use these amongst others.   

Eagles offer 22 and 80 for the Steelers first rounder

Wo wo wo GSC! What you up to?? I'm picking after the Steelers... don't you go messing up my plans!! Have a funny feeling we might have the same player in mind.

I reckon someone might wanna PM weeman cos I'm not sure he's always about

Thank God Bull changed his mind so I can draft Sam at #26.

Interesting choice on Nix though GSC. I would have said Aaron Donald makes more sense assuming they are going to lose Melton. Was reading something on Twitter about teams viewing Nix exclusively as a 3-4 nose tackle, haven't they said they are sticking to a 4-3?

Tbh I think the days of massive NTs are behind us anyway. Teams don't want Rajis anymore

I think I've mentioned before but a solid NT is the key to a good 3-4 defense. Bears on the other hand would be better suited to Aaron Donald IMO.

Right, i'm up...

I'll have a final think over the next couple of hours and make my selection at lunch.

With the 15th pick, Pittsburgh Steelers select:

Darqueze Dennard, CB, Michigan State

(No trade - sorry GSC!)

Offer stands

Was hoping he would get to the Saints pick, will have to rethink

With the 16th pick, the Dallas Cowboys run to the podium to select:

Aaron Donald, DT, Pitt

They need a Safety in the worst way too, so Pryor was a consideration. Taking Donald though means they don't have to feel bad about letting someone else overpay for Jason Hatcher and the game is won in the trenches at the end of the day.

Eagles still offering 22 and 80

GSC wrote:Eagles still offering 22 and 80

You planning on taking my 3rd Round pick? I think you mean 86. I may be interested...

EDIT: Jets also have the Bucs 3rd Round pick (69) because of the Revis trade.

Yeah 86.

damn you 25, had AD lined up...

with the 17th pick of the 2014 Mock GM Draft, the Baltimore Ravens select

C.J. Mosley, ILB, Alabama

Offer still on the table, GSC?

Yeah sure

Go for it then. Trade your 1st and 3rd (22 and 86) for my 1st (18).

With the 18th pick the Eagles select Marqise Lee

Perhaps a surprise given recent signings, but the Eagles can afford to go heavy on WR with 1.5m invested in QBs. Next season when Foles needs a new deal, DeSeans contract will look awfully enticing.

Lee struggled with injury problems this season but a season against he looked a nailed on top 10 pick. He has the YAC ability to put up monster numbers under Chip Kelly.

I was hoping he was going to slip further then I was going to move Buffalo up from the second round.

Glad I didn't trade up for this pick.

The Dolphins select Taylor Lewan, OT, Michigan.

I don't need to explain this selection...

The Ravens nearly went Lee, Flacco does need some more weapons, but ended up BAPing for Mosley

Was hoping Lewan would drop one more spot

So Arizona select
David Yankey OG Stanford

I haven't got the time to research a draft board properly given the amount of picks left and time until I go away!

anyone know if crazydave is around this week?

I'd give him a PM TM Moot, and then a day to see if he responds, then if he don't make the BPA pick

He hasn't logged on since March 1st, so I think we have to pick for him.

Still give him the 24 hours though. We're in no rush at all.

I've PM'd him. As Pr4wn says, no great rush so lets give him until tommorrow AM then we'll go BAP (no QB, RB or WR) as requested...

Hageman or Pryor?

Amaro?

Prior is a good shout...

Or Kyle Fuller? With Shields seemingly on his way out.

I have Jason Verrett as my top rated CB and he would be a good fit IMO. However, I think the Packers need to strengthen at Safety more than anything else. Casey Heyward will be back from injury and Micah Hyde was fantastic at times last year, plus old man Tramon Williams could always do a job. I don't personally like Calvin Pryor at this spot but by everyone else's rankings (and I mean everyone else's), he would be the best choice here.

lets go Prior, we can debate who is BAP here forever, but atleast it hits a need

Jets pick Odell Beckham Jr, WR, LSU.



Jets need offensive playmakers. OBJ is an explosive receiver with great speed and quickness to create separation and YAC. He's elusive in the open field and will slot right in as the number 1 WR and Kick Returner. He can run every route and has good hands as well as the innate ability to make special plays.

I don't know much about ODJ - is he a Tavon Austin type or a Harvin? Or more of a slot specialist than either of them?

Dammit was hoping he'd fall to me (a little optimistic I know)

BamBam wrote:I don't know much about ODJ - is he a Tavon Austin type or a Harvin? Or more of a slot specialist than either of them?

None of the above. Very much an outside receiver that can play in the slot. I said he has speed and quickness but not to the extent of Austin, Harvin or Brandin Cooks who is also coming out this year.

I think Antonio Brown is a good indicator of OBJ's game.

Sorry lads struggling for time this weekend
So BPA at WR / CB or S
Would be appreciated

Allen Robinson IMO.

I would say either Brandin Cooks WR or Jason Verrett CB?

With Alex Smith at QB the Chiefs would get more production from a guy like Amaro at TE IMO


Reid loves his lines also.

i'm not on so much at weekends, so if i'm up then pm me and i'll come make my pick asap. pm will go to my email inbox that i can check on my phone.

Tracks Kelce is back from injury this year and he will blow it up. Chiefs are deep at CB so I think there's no need for Verrett.

Robinson is my number 4 WR. He's such a fluid athlete that has deceptove speed and change on direction that gets big YAC. Brandon Cooks is similar to Dexter McCluster (although much more polished) so I think Robinson would be a better fit.

Reid loves his Kelces.

My only question mark would be around Smith being able to get him the ball

lets go Brandin Cooks, WR, Oregan State for the Chiefs

(unless anyone thinks otherewise before next pick!)

I can't have a real problem with it I suppose
