2013 TT Member Mock Draft Discussion

[76Texan]

The Eagles throw Armstead in the trash and pick NT, Johnathan Jenkins, Gerorgia instead.

OK, but I don't know which one is trash.
I like Jenkins but he seems more risky with his weigh problem.
I'd like him for the Texans preferrably in the fourth, but since we have two 3rds, I wouldn't mind taking him there.
I just think the risk is a bit high in the second round.

I will change the pick.

 

[76Texan]

With the 39th pick the NY Jets select T.J. McDonald, S, USC

I know that T.J. McDonald was a slight reach but my guys were gone. I looked at Eric Reid but he seemed to struggle without Honey Badger, Claiborn & Brandon Taylor being there as security blankets.

I wanted another position but he was gone and I think my next couple of guys will be there later.

Between T J McD and Taylor Mays, you have enough hard hits, but perhaps you need to combine them two to make a good SS. J/k

 

[TexansSeminole]

The clock runs 7am to 7pm CST.

We didn't make your pick until around 11:15am CST that's past the 4 hr window. Sorry if there was a misunderstanding probably due to time zone issues. If so that's my fault for not being more clear. I apologize.

Did you like the pick?

No, I don't draft players I have never seen play. I wouldn't draft this kid in the 7th round.

Personally, I would have gone with a WR, so next year when the Jets pick a QB, he will have a good target to throw it to. Lots of good WRs still on the board, I'm surprised more haven't been picked considering all the attention the position gets from Texans fans.

Umm...Wolverine Fan was before me and made his pick 4 hours ago. You made my pick over an hour ago. 4-1=3. 4-2=2.

 

[TexansSeminole]

To be completely honest with you, if it is going to move this quickly, I don't have time for this draft. I have a very busy next 10 days and can't be expected to be here ALL the time, which would be quite necessary to make the picks that quickly. Y'all can take the Dolphins and Eagles, I will just continue to miss picks at this pace.

 

[b0ng]

I have two different posts written up, waiting to see if Senior Stan kicks me in the junk and takes the guy I really want.

Thank you for reaching that pick drs23, I was afraid the Jets were going to take a guy I wanted as well since a lot of the needs are similar.

You're right probably. With this turning into instpick instead of a 4 hour window I let myself feel pressure that probably wasn't there. It won't happen again.

We agreed on a 4-hr time period.
Sorry that we mis-calculate it.
But no harm no foul here.

Mays has sucked so far and IMO he can't cover worth jack, he can only hit and get penalized.

 

[Dutchrudder]

I'm not criticizing the pick, hope it didn't come off that way. I just think the Jets situation appears to be more of a 3 year plan than a 1. And I don't blame you for passing on the QBs here, many would be tempted to take one, and I for one would hold out on that. They are stuck with Sanchez one more year, then I expect them to move on to a new QB in 2014.

I also don't value Santonio Holmes as a #1 WR, and I think they overpaid him quite a bit. Wouldn't be surprised to see him cut in a year or two. Their real strength right now is the o-line, and even that is suspect on the right side (kind of like the Texans). The more I think about this, the more holes I see on the Jets, like at RB. Lacy might have be a good pick for them too, he seems like their style of RB.

Anyways, it's all good, this is just for fun

And the reason I offer to notify people when their turn comes up is to help those who are busy.

If only I've got your email address.
People are busy on different schedule.
One might expect for you to make a selection quickly because of your knowledge, they wait but then have to run.

I just wish that we can help each other communicate better so that we can move it smoothly.

Besides, it's not as if NFL teams don't reach on talent all of the time when it comes to the draft.

 

[Señor Stan]

With their 2nd round pick the Tennessee Titans select...

Tyler Eifert TE Notre Dame...

Lost Jared Cook and signed Delaine Walker ...but Eifert should not have fallen this far...BPA pick

was waiting for this pick, but I guess teams are needing DE and OLB.

It's not about being notified. I check the thread often enough to know when I may be close. I work in property management. Sometimes I have to run off and view te damage on a roof collapse, or a car running into a building, or a fire, or a car running into the gate, or calm down some crack head. During those times, I cannot post. So notification is not the issue, not having some leeway in time is. It's all good, I just can't participate.

 

[b0ng]

With the 42nd pick in the fake Texans Talk Mock Draft, the Buffalo Bills will select Wide Receiver, Justin Hunter, University of Tennessee. Noticing a lack of weapons at the WR spot, and with a new QB who is probably going to take over the reigns, the Bills will take the other playmaker that made Tyler Bray look so good.

The young Barkley will have a shiny new toy to go along with Stevie Johnson, and hopefully the Bills will have at least a serviceable passing game to go with those two baller RB's they keep locked up in the cold north.

Junk is in tact!

We stay with the 4-hr rule.
Sorry that we didn't keep up with the time.
(Man I hate to throw Steelb under the bus LOL).

I will make sure to verify the time.

There's a drop off from Marquise Lee to Hunter, but it will work.

Man, I want the Texans to trade for next year pick to have that guy.

Also, I think it will be helpful for everybody to know about how soon their turn might come up.

If everybody take four hours, the mock draft will last forever.
We all understand that some have a busy schedule; it's only a matter to help each other out.

After all, we're only having fun; we don't need more stress, right?

A mistake was made,

I wish you would reconsider, but if not I understand.

The Dolphins are on the clock. Hope you make the pick.

 

[76Texan]

To me, the most important thing is to make this mock draft something that all participants can enjoy.

I volunteer not to have a team so I can spend time monitoring to help move things along in a pace that suits everybody.

However, there's always give and take.
If we're going to make this enjoyable for every one, it will be helpful if everybody is in the loop.

None of us knows about another's schedule if we don't communicate.

Some have school, some have work.
I'm mostly free for the time being, so I thought I'd help out.

Please don't take it the wrong way.

 

[Rey]

I'm good with the pace either way...

76 and all that are running this are doing a good job IMO.

We are trying to do things right. But mistakes will be made, what do you think we should do with the Dolphins pick?

Agreed, I am busy too with work and school, but 76 has bent over backwards to help me out. It's all in good fun.

 

[76Texan]

Don't worry; it's just a little hiccup.
We'll clear it up!

Thank you all for understanding.

Let's move on and have some more fun!

 

[Rock N Randy]

Let's get back too draft talk please
It's a member mock and for the sake of the mock and the majority participating
There are 4hr windows and 76 is notifying per via PM
If your draft card expires your pick opens up and can be made by any member
Back to the mock

Titans just a lot better and Bills too
I love Hunter but I don't see him succeeding in the Bermuda triangle that is Buffalo/Toronto
I love Eifert too. I would not be happy to see him in a Titan uniform

 

[Dutchrudder]

Thanks

Well it appears Seminole left, so I think he quit. If anyone wants to take over this team, we should get that done now rather than later.

I don't know the Dolphins needs that well, but I do know they don't need a WR. CB appears to be a need, RT is a need if they don't come to terms with Eric Winston. TE is a need because Dustin Keller isn't that great and Fasano left. RB is a need after losing Reggie Bush.

I think Eddie Lacy RB could go here, Darius Slay CB, Johnthan Banks CB or maybe Terron Armstead OT.

There would be nothing wrong with Lacy going to the Dolphins with their pick in the 2nd round if everybody agrees he'd be best whatever scheme Joe Philbin is running there (Is it a ZBS?)

 

[76Texan]

It was a little unclear to me if Nole had decided one way or another.
(Wished he did.)

But he did say it's all good.

If y'all want, we can go ahead with what you have in mind, and he can decide it for sure later when he has the time.

 

[76Texan]

Looks like he's back like I thought.

 

[TexansSeminole]

I'd pick Tank Carradine if available.

 

[TexansSeminole]

Looks like he's back like I thought.

I hade 3 ceilings collapse this morning and am in fix crisis mode. Don't think I will be around after this one.

That would have been my next choice!
