2016 - Draft simulator time....

[Mace]

Someone posted this last year, forgot who, step up for another thanks. Had endless fun with it right up until draft day. Already having fun with it again though it's way too early. At the very least it helps me get familiar with prospects.

It's too early. I keep taking the best kicker in the 4th round, panicking he won't be available next.

I completely whiffed on LBer, and DB's going to be pissed at me because Wentz was available at 19 and I passed on him.

I can't get my hands on big men for the oline to save my life

[Mace]

I'm noticing so far I always (past the kicker fixation) go after Su'a Cravens (OLB listed but a OLB/safety hybrid in the 2nd), De'Runnya Wilson (tall WR) and Cardale Jones (in the 3rd and 4th, depending), and Nile Lawrence-Stample (DT/NT) later.

First round I'm always going after ILB Ragland if available, or OT Conklin.

[sukie]

This kicker is worthy of a fixation... I don't see him making it to round 4. Especially with the PAT changes

Thanks, now I'm back to panic picking the kicker.

[SpikedLemonade]

If we actually draft a K before we draft any OL, I will absolutely lose my mind.

[IlluminatusUIUC]

I just did one round and Goff fell all the way to 19. Alrighty then.

I can't think of a draft I've looked forward to less than this..because I know how its going to be. 4 of the 1st 5 picks will be "3-4 D" scheme guys...a RB and a late round steal OT. so..this really means little.

And..I didn't get to watch much college football this year ,but anyway:

I used the Fanspeak list..and I question whether some will be there..

1. Miles Jack, LB UCLA. Unlikely to be there, but there he was, so it was too good to pass up. Now...use him as a 2 gap DT, Rex...or maybe as a CB..but don't complain about lack of talent, Buffoon.

2. OT JOHN THEUS GEORGIA Rex and Rob whined about not taking a SS or 5 Tech DE ...but its time they learned to coach beyond their own egos.

This is another stab at fixing the RT position with a 4 year SEC starter. The position was bad last year, and it was bad the year before and no talk of getting a 7th round steal changes that. I'm falling away from the 6'8" 340 lb RT's. Teams are sending quicker and quicker outside rushers to that side. Your RT needs some athletic ability.

3. C RYAN KELLY Not big on his size, but big on his playing ability. John Miller, who I like, has to get better as a G, he just does. Even with a run oriented team, you can't pass block that poorly and hope to make it in the NFL.

So....enter the Rimington award winning center who hasn't given up a sack in 2 seasons. Am I beginning to question Bama Olinemen in the NFL? Yes. Do I prefer that Miller gets better? yes. But it does open possibilities. If Kelly is better as a center, Wood can be moved to guard, or ...Kelly can move to guard.

4. WR RASHARD HIGGINS COLORADO ST - better 2014 than 2015, but lost his coach and his QB. He works out ...great. If not..its like most other 4th round picks.

5. DT VERNON BUTLER LOUISIANA TECH - there's your fat NT, Rex...now let Dareus and Kyle Williams 1 gap, twist, stunt and go back to doing what they do best..ya moron.

6. TE TYLER HIGBEE The Hilltoppers. Not likely he is there in the 6th. But 2 athletic TE's is a nice option. Unless one of them is a gang banger and ends up murdering people.

[ParanoidAndroid]

1. OT Taylor Decker
2. DT Austin Johnson
3. LB Scooby Wright III
4. DE Sean Oakman
5. OLB Yannick Ngakoue
6. WR Cayleb Jones

Defense retooled/backed up, the next late-round WR steal and an OT to provide leverage against Glenn.

[sudzy]

Drafttek ranking

1) Shaq Lawson OLB Mario's replacement
2) Jarran Reed DE/NT Couldn't believe he was there
3) Su'a Cravens OLB/S starter at safety day one
4)Rashard Higgins WR Looked at Cardale Jones here, went for the reliable WR that's an upgrade to Hogan.
5) Pearce Slater OT 330# goes into the mix at RT
6) Robert Aguayo PK 6th rounder who replaces 2 guys on the team. Can't beat that.

Pretty happy. Three guys that can play Rex's defense. Would have liked to drafted someone at ILB, No one was ever there. Maybe I'd get Brandon Spikes cheap. Also would have liked a QB.

[Mace]

OK, pre-combine, using CBS, I don't really think it can possibly work out this way, but it's early and I'm having fun. I nearly completely bailed on the offense to load Rex with toys, if he can't use them he needs to leave and give back money or be beaten with sticks and pelted with rocks and garbage.

19: R1P19 DE SHAQ LAWSON CLEMSON : He's there, welcome to Buffalo, Shaq, goodbye Mario.

49: R2P18 DT JARRAN REED ALABAMA : Alrighty then. NT, DE, both ? Say hello to Orchard Park and get nice neighbors.

80: R3P17 WR RASHARD HIGGINS COLORADO STATE : "Hollywood" Higgins, snarky, capable possession receiver, go home Roman, that's it for you.

114: R4P19 SS JAYRON KEARSE CLEMSON : Big developmental guy with a boatload of maybe for just about everything if he puts on some weight muscle, have fun, Rex.

144: R5P17 ILB BLAKE MARTINEZ STANFORD : Smart, capable, new MLB, welcome to the bench, Preston.

174: R6P17 OLB CURT MAGGITT TENNESSEE : Tank. Quick tank. Dance with Mr. Martinez, Mr. Maggit, move around and do your thing, Kearse and Martinez will do the rest.

If Rex can't make a top 5 defense with these guys, Whaley's chosen o-line can't hold up their end, and Roman can't hold up his end like he did this year, fire everyone and start over and too damn bad you spent too much money on them because your team blows.

[Mace]

Pre combine Draftek :

19: R1P19 OLB MYLES JACK UCLA : He was there, no brainer.

49: R2P18 S JAYRON KEARSE CLEMSON : Ryan's future SS of glory.

80: R3P17 DE BRONSON KAUFUSI BYU : Every good defense needs a Phil Hansen who is better than Phil Hansen.

114: R4P19 OT JOE HAEG NORTH DAKOTA ST : Well, he was available, end this right tackle wondering right now.

144: R5P17 G JORDAN WALSH IOWA : Is he a guard, is he a center ? He's goodbye to Urbik.

174: R6P17 DT NILE LAWRENCE-STAMPLE FLORIDA STATE : Nose tackle. Violent hands. Got to like a nose tackle with violent hands.

[Mace]

I noticed they added more big boards (I love it when they add a combined big board). I'm unfamiliar with NFL Draft Geek so decided to use it as my source. I put some thought and strategy into this one which I will explain after.

19: R1P19 FB GLENN GRONKOWSKI KANSAS STATE

49: R2P18 FB DAN VITALE NORTHWESTERN

80: R3P17 FB SIONE HOUMA MICHIGAN

118: R4P19 CB FABIAN MOREAU UCLA

156: R5P17 CB V'ANGELO BENTLEY ILLINOIS

195: R6P17 CB ARTIE BURNS MIAMI

I quickly noticed there were only 3 fullbacks, so I took all of them to screw the rest of the league. After I got them all, put that in your pipe and smoke it Belichick, I went after nothing but the lowest rated CB's, because you can never have enough of them and I'd surely find a sleeper to back up Darby & Gilmore. One of these guys should be able to punt also in case Schmidt gets hurt at an inopportune time. Got a guy named Fabian too to sing rousing songs before practice. Also got a V'Angelo and an Artie Burns (use some ointment for that) ! I wanted Taveze too but ran out of picks too soon.

[ParanoidAndroid]

It's fixed! WR was a fail for me. Other, more intriguing players kept making me move away from them.
