A starting ILB and possible NT in the first two rounds. A road-grader guard, a big WR with ball skills. I resisted temptation in the third round, and first pick in the fourth, but couldn't pass up Aguayo as he was still just sitting there at the comp pick (sorry Mace). Bradberry I actually took under the notion he can be moved (and is probably a much better fit) for safety. A project QB, and hard-hitting OLB. Didn't get a DE or OT, but I'm OK with that after filling a bunch of other holes.

[Mace]

Post combine - CBS (I think the CBS is harshest and most likely)

19: R1P19 OT JACK CONKLIN MICHIGAN STATE : A mashing mean tackle to end the RT follies for 5 years.

49: R2P18 OLB SU'A CRAVENS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA : Hybrid OLB/safety with range, made for a Ryan defense.

80: R3P17 DE JIHAD WARD ILLINOIS : Undervalued impact player imho, having a killer offseason. Won't miss Mario.

118: R4P19 QB CARDALE JONES OHIO STATE : Well, here's another one in need of tuning, mobile tank with rocket arm = next maybe.

140: R4P41 ILB BLAKE MARTINEZ STANFORD : Dependable lb with flashes of impressive.

157: R5P17 DT NILE LAWRENCE-STAMPLE FLORIDA STATE : There's the rotational 2 gap NT who can play some football.

193: R6P17 G JOE DAHL WASHINGTON STATE : Former LT and dependable swing lineman who can step in wherever if needed.

219: R6P43 OLB CURT MAGGITT TENNESSEE : Underrated (imho) lb with range and ability for inside/outside as needed.

I could never bring myself to take Aguayo (sorry Yardrat), without being sorry I didn't take someone else. I took 3 lb's thinking I took two and a strong safety to butch up Ryan's D. Couldn't resist Conklin in the 1st or Dahl in the 6th to add some stable to the OL, and I think Martinez, Cravens, Jihad Ward, and Maggit (Maggit like legit) could have impressive careers in the right defense. Ryan's ? Ryan's.

I still think you get a kicker and WR from udfa, and as many replacement rb's as you need.

Glasgow can play any of the three interior positions.
Bradberry, again, being moved to safety. Don't think he has enough agility to play corner.
I have real problems finding a DE no matter whose list I use...the good ones that fit go early, and the later ones are too light, probably better fits at OLB.
Disappointed I didn't land an ILB, but couldn't pass up Lawler, Higbee in the fifth, or Reader at the end of the sixth.

I've grabbed Lawler, Reader and Glasgow a few times. James Cowser is not a bad middle rounds DE option (not a great one either, but think stand up DE) or Jihad Ward if he's there in the 3rd because he never will be in the 4th, and I occasionally fall back on Jordan Walsh g/c from Iowa near the end of the draft to add some depth. I'm always looking at de's they figure will add some weight reliably (because they have) to avoid Maybins. More than a few Hughes type hybrid ends, but I'm thinking Ryan moves Kyle to end role in 3-4 anyway, when not tackle in 4-3.

In most of my sim drafts I still like getting Su'a Cravens as hybrid olb/ss, or make a play for Jayron Kearse, or Miles Killebrew if he lasts too long, and I go after Blake Martinez often (he's one of those who plays better than he seems on paper).

Best thing I think about this draft, and the most optimistic I'll get about Ryan, is that there are a ton of guys he can move around with deadly effect if he's really all that.

[YardRat]

The problem I seem to continue to have with CBS is once you get into the fourth round there are a plethora of offensive skill positions stacked up (as far as their rankings, anyway) and you really have to reach a little bit to get to any big guys or defensive front seven.

However, I actually like this draft a lot. I know I grabbed Bell in the second, but I can't get past leaving Bradberry there in the fifth with the thought of converting him. Finally got a DE that should fit Wrecks' system with Jihad Ward in the fourth, but wasn't able to land an NT.

[Mace]

Heh, I can't get Jihad Ward in the 4th using CBS to save my life.

The composite board is up and it just dumps DT's, OT's and LB's in the first 2 rounds. There's nothing left by round 3.

That's why I love it, it's mean and makes you work for it.
