Wreck'em Ŧech!
After watching the bowl game against Wisconsin I see him as a 4-3 DE. He was constantly running stunts inside where he was beating solid NFL calibur prospects. He also showed the burst off the edge. I just can't take seeing Mario make up 1/2 of our team's sacks anymore, adding another pass rusher would make us deadly.

I like it. There are still alot of good players on the board.
At 26, I may think about trading down. If anyone was thinking about trading up and grabbing one of these late first round picks, I am potentially interested.

Scarlet is hot.
NYJ selects Brandon Pettigrew, TE.
<ESPN Producer: Queue music, roll clip>
MKJ: A perfect fit for an up-and-down offense. Brandon Pettigrew is a solid offensive weapon, and a huge upgrade at an underperforming position on an underperforming offense.
blah blah blah
Seriously, I think its a good fit.
My only regret is knowing that, had I not chosen Pettigrew, I am certain that Spec would not have chosen him.
Spec, you're up.

Personally I'm not a big fan of this pick. I just don't see the Jets selecting ANOTHER Tight End in the first round. Dustin Keller played very well and they've got good depth at that position.

With the 18th pick the Bears select Aaron Maybin DE Penn ST 6' 3 1/2" 250 #
Explanation: The Bears have 2 of the best LB in the NFC and one of the worst Pass defenses last year. So with no CB rated high enough the best way to go is to pressure the passer to help the pass D out. While WR and DT were also a consideration here, I went with the highest rated player on the board at a need position.

Here's his explanation . I guess I'd be ticked a bit because the purpose is to simulate the real thing and one pick will throw the whole thing out of whack . Besides I wouldn't want the Texans to take Wells .

With the 19th pick the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select......Jeremy Maclin - WR, Missouri.
The Bucs have quite a few needs. WR is one of them and Maclin is the highest rated player still on the board for the Bucs. Joey Galloway and Ike Hilliard are on their last legs and Michael Clayton hasn't shown anything since his rookie year. Antonio Bryant will have to be a one man show unless he gets some help. When it came down to it, the Bucs couldn't resist the allure of Maclin's potential and big play ability as a WR and a return man.

Because the point is trying to replicate a REAL draft.CrazyFanThatPickedWells said:
True. Slaton makes this less of a need but that was a true statement.CrazyFanThatPickedWells said:
1. "None of us ever heard of" Mario Williams until the year of or before the draft- bad excuse by CrazyFanThatPickedWells.CrazyFanThatPickedWells said:
2. DJ Moore has been a steady riser, but if he's a reach... don't pick him.
3. Brian Cushing would instantly start at SLB on this team, who would start ahead of him, Diles? I have high hopes for his recovery but I believe Cushing would be more game ready than Diles at Week1. Not worth a 1st round/steroid allegations? Fair to me, there are a lot of ?'s about Cushing, including his injury history.
So do your part to make it as realistic as possible.CrazyFanThatPickedWells said:
Aaannndd this has to do with selecting a 1st round running back how?CrazyFanThatPickedWells said:
Very good point and that very well could be the case... but does that necessarily mean we avoid adding more talent to a squad that does need it?CrazyFanThatPickedWells said:
Wells has had ankle and wrist injuries during his Jr. year. Main injury was his toe injury that got him carted off the field and missed games, also has had hamstring issues.CrazyFanThatPickedWells said:
Another "stat" junkie. Maybe he should get his stats right even if he's going to use that arguement for transitioning into the pros... which i'm against.CrazyFanThatPickedWells said:
Wells: 1,197 yards and 8 TDs
Moreno: 1,400 yards and 16 TDs
Do we want to add their receiving yards too?
Wells: 47 yards and 0 TDs
Moreno: 392 yards and 2 TDs
Maybe Colt McCoy should have declared. He had better stats than Matt Stafford so Colt easily would have been selected before him!!

Okay folks we have learned that the San Diego Chargers will be giving up Tyson Jackson, their 3rd round pick #78th overall & San Diego's 6th round selection.
San Diego in return, will be getting Denver's 20th pick along with Denver's 48th pick.
Trade analysis:
Denver
1st (20): 850 points
2nd (48th): 420 points
1,270 total points
San Diego
1st (16): 1000 points
3rd (78): 200 points
6th 20 points
1,220 points
I gotta go, but I will make the pick when I get back.

I didn't think Maclin would make it down to #19 so I had plans to trade back, but they got nixed when Pettigrew was selected and the other team canceled on me.
I'm happy with this though. He was the highest available player on my board at my biggest need so I'm not feeling too bad about it.

So Denver gets their 34 DE plus they have managed to move up in both the 2nd (#48 to #33) and 3rd rounds (#79 to #78).
Nice maneuvering OMT.

Thanks bah, this strategery is my favorite part about the nfl draft.
I was really interested in this selection. I think Moreno is a great pick especially after being able to move back a little and get back into the 2nd round. It wouldn't surprise me if the Chargers move back on draft day.
If Houston wants to move back, we may actually be better positioned b/c the Chargers will probably want a 2nd rd pick.

Philadelphia selects LeSean McCoy RB Pitt.
It is time to give Westbrook some rest. McCoy is the guy to do this.
Some mocks have the Eagles taking Wells. I see McCoy as a better fit to the offense they run. The Eagles throw to their backs a lot. Wells only has 15 catches in his carrer.
In the draft, I look for the Eagles to trade these picks. One or both in some kind of deal for Anquan Boldin, a move down with one of them for a high 2 and a first next year, or both for a move up for someone they really like that falls.
Also I think they will make a big run at Jorden Gross in FA over drafting a tackle.

The Browns have traded their 2nd (#36), 4th and 6th round picks to the Vikings for their 1st round pick (#22).
The Browns have traded up so they can make sure they get their man.
Clint Sintim, OLB, Virginia.
With the Patriots, Dolphins, Ravens, and Steelers all coming up before the Browns 2nd round pick I needed to address the Browns most pressing need. A pass rush OLB for their 3-4 defense.
Eric Mangini continues to build in the trenches (I consider the LB's of a 3-4 defense as in the trenches) with Andre Smith and Clint Sintim.

4th, 5th, 6th and 7th round picks are very valuable to teams and are an important part of the draft. The problem is it's not as fun b/c we won't get to actually use those picks and select a player. But its a very real part of the draft and the more selections you accumulate the better chances you have to get some good players.
No future picks or current nfl players are being allowed to be used, and with good reason I think. I think if you don't want to accumulate later round picks b/c you can't use them (in this draft) then don't trade down. But texanseminole, I agree to an extent, some people may not care if they give up their 4th through 7th round picks in total... so in that sense it could be unrealistic.
Nice selection with Sintim, he should be a great fit as a 3-4 LB.

Thanks.
In regards to trading picks being unrealistic may I remind yall of the Ricky Williams trade.
I needed to trade up to get my OLB before other 3-4 teams were up and to make the deal fair I gave up a 4th and a 6th. Doesnt mean I cant trade down in the 3rd and get back a 6th or something.
Also I think when we are done with the three rounds, people will take into account the fact that you accumulated extra picks as well.

The only thing about it is that it creates incentive to make this thing unrealistic. If you aren't making the picks for rounds 4-7 then why wouldn't you trade them off to make an extra pick in the mock. Other than that it's cool.
Oh I like your Sintim pick alot. He was my #2 player on the board at the time and he fits a need. Great pick!
I think Sintim can play both ILB and OLB in the 3-4. Kind of the way Timmons played for the Steelers this year. You can move him around. He can do all three things. First off he can tackle, he can also cover, and finally he can BLITZ. I can see the Browns moving Sintim around before the snap to confuse offenses. Wimbley is more of a stationary pass rusher, but Sintim I think is more versatile.
Wow way to make my exact post 15 minutes before I make it.

That's what I'm thinking too. This reminds me of the old Draft format where the 1st day was rounds 1-3. We're just doing the 1st day but we can look forward to Day 2 and see which teams have picked up some extra picks and who has lost out on some.

I'll trade my 4th , 5th, 6th, and 7th for a 2nd .

That would probably get you a 3rd and I'd consider it... but won't during this mock b/c in real life it simply wouldn't happen.

Most people that watch the draft only watch the 1st or 2nd round. Not many people make it past the first day. I love to watch the whole draft just to see where every team is going, but I doubt we would make it past the 4th round in this thing before most people stopped showing up. Even now we have people that don't log in to make their team's 1st round pick! I would love to do a 7 rd mock, but there just isn't enough committed posters here to do that.

If we are using the draft pick value chart then I think all picks after the 3rd round should count as 0 points. They aren't worth anything in this draft.
As I said earlier, I like mocks with trades, but this type of thing inspires a "Madden" mentality where some people will try to unload all their picks in an attempt to get three or four players in the top 50. It's not realistic unless there is some kind of bonus involved for receving picks after the third round...
