Tampa Bay selects...
Tajh Boyd - QB - Clemson - ACC
lol, the forgotten QB.
That's straight value getting him in the 7th though. You're a team with serious ?'s at the QB position (Josh McCown, despite what Lovie Smith wants to believe, is a loser) and so you have snagged a guy in the 7th round that can compete with Sticks for the starting QB job at game #8 of the regular season.
Btw, since we have now reached the 7th round, I figured I would gauge interest on having an UDFA round. Would basically be an 8th round with the original draft order. It would work the same way as the normal rounds except I would cut the clock in half and if you miss the pick then we just skip you. I ask because every time we do a mock like this, and it never fails, the second the last pick is made about 5 GM's post a list of the 15 UDFA's they just signed post draft.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' draft has concluded.
In free agency they added C Evan Dietrich-Smith, OT Anthony Collins, G Oniel Cousins, DE Michael Johnson, CB Alterraun Verner, QB Josh McCown, DT Clinton McDonald, LB Dane Fletcher, CB Mike Jenkins, TE Brandon Myers, WR Louis Murphy, while resigning LB Jonathan Casillas, CB Danny Gorrer and OT Jamon Meredith. Their high activity in FA allowed me some freedom in the draft room.
The team had only 5 draft picks to work with, but I feel like I got some good players for them to develop.
Round 1: CJ Mosley, MLB, Alabama
Round 2: Brandin Cooks, WR, Oregon State
Round 3: Loucheiz Purifoy, CB, Florida
Round 5: Dontae Johnson, FS/CB, NC State
Round 7: Tajh Boyd, QB, Clemson
Don't forget Mike Glennon. I went into this not buying that the Bucs would look to add a QB early. Glennon was a 59.4% passer with 2,608 yards passing and a 19/9 TD to INT ratio through 13 games in his rookie year last year.
I thought "Sticks" was Glennon...

Yeah, I hear you. I called Glennon "sticks" because that's what he looks like to me. He's 6'7" and 225, I should have been more clear and not gave him a random nickname on the fly.
I believe that Lovie is truly committed to Journeyman Josh starting for the Bucs. I think they go 1-5 in the first 6 games, Glennon takes over game 7, has a bad outing (probably playing a hard team), and then rumors begin to swirl about Tahj being able to possibly supplant him.
I don't think he will and I don't think he's better (today), but I think he can push to become the backup and who knows (starter?) after they cut McCown after this year and Tahj and Sticks compete all offseason.
With the 20th pick in Round Six of the 2014 NFL draft the Arizona Cardinals select....
Joe Don Duncan - TE - Dixie State - Great Northwest Athletic Conference
I dunno how his game will translate to the pros but that's a bad ass football name if I've ever heard one.
Just realised that I am done with this draft.
Here are the final drafts for my two teams:
Washington
(34) Lamarcus Joyner - S - Florida State
(66) Billy Turner - OT - North Dakota State
(102) Telvin Smith - OLB - Florida State
(142) Terrence Mitchell - CB - Oregon
(178) Bruce Ellington - WR - South Carolina
(217) Devon Kennard - OLB - USC
steelbtexan PM'ed me a list for this next pick, but all the players on it have already been selected. Since that is the case I revert back to my previous proxy pick.
With the 213th pick the New York Jets select...
Avery Williamson - ILB - Kentucky - SEC
Proxy pick for the Minnesota Vikings after going over the clock.
Bennett Jackson - CB - Notre Dame
Sorry about that guys. Last night got a little hectic unexpectedly.
Alright guys, final day, Let's stay strong. NO flaming out. I want to get Mr. Irrelevant in by lunch time, let's roll.
Proxy pick for The Pencil Neck via PM.
The Tennessee Titans select...
Jeff Janis - WR - Saginaw Valley St. - Great Lakes IAC
A tall (6'3", 219#) receiver who's surprisingly fast (4.42). He's not afraid to take a hit and if he takes a hit, he holds on to the ball. He's a hard-working, studious guy.
He's a small school prospect who hasn't worked against top-level talent. He's got to work on his routes and his hands (which are only average.) He's a guy that's faster than quick and he's got to work on that.
I think Whiz will have fun working with him.
At this point in the draft? I think this is a perfect place for him.
Good stuff. I always like to hear about these kind of guys.
I wonder why he didn't get any better collegiate offers. Generally 6'3 and 4.4 speed will qualify you a college I've heard of.
This completes the Pittsburgh Steelers draft

I got a good mix and a decertify of talent and I could see all my guys making the aging roster that is the Steelers
Pleased with the results and outcome of the Steelers 2014 draft class
The Miami Aquatic Mammals select....
James Wilder Jr. - RB - Florida State - ACC
Miami finally gets a RB, one of their needs going into this draft. With an upgraded offensive line, I think Wilder can become the bruising runner to complement Lamar Miller.
Good draft.
As a complete and unrelated side note... what do you mean by a "decertify" of talent?
Dang just saw that
Auto correct gets me again
Meant to say "diversity"
Good pick.
I really agonized over whether to take him or not and finally went other directions.
