Ronald Powell - OLB - Florida - SEC
Good frame (6-3, 235) and good overall athlete who also played tight end in high school. Proven pass-rush ability with explosive burst off the snap. Ascending star in 2011 before knee injuries the following season, and showed he is again a threat off the edge in 2013. Obvious athleticism when healthy.

With the final pick in the mock draft, the Houston Texans select Mr. Irrelevant...
Jeoffrey Pagan - DE - Bama - SEC
He's a beast of a man that is tough to move. He will provide solid depth at the DLine whether we are running a 3 or 4 man front.

haha my final pick was between Powell & Pagan. My write for Pagan..
Built like a Coke machine (6-4, 310 lbs)- wide and heavy - and is just as difficult to move. Anchors well at the point of attack due to size and strength. Pops the offensive lineman with a strong initial punch and shows good patience to wait for the running back to come to him, before forcefully ripping free. Active hands and shows surprising burst to close when he gets a free lane. Good recognition of where the ball is going and pursues with passion. Slid inside to defensive tackle on pass-rushing downs and projects well to this role in the NFL due to his size and athleticism. Just scratching the surface of his potential.

That concludes the Falcons draft.
1.6: Khalil Mack - OLB - Buffalo
Given the re-build of the defensive line with veterans Paul Soliai and Tyson Jackson and a switch to the 3-4 defense, getting a pass-rushing OLB who is also the Best Player Available here makes too much sense to pass up. Mack also has experience playing in Buffalo's 3-4 defense where he played as a hybrid linebacker.
2.37: Morgan Moses - OT - Virginia
Having passed on Matthews & Lewan in the first round, the Falcons decide to take an OT to protect the 100 Million dollar QB with Morgan Moses. Moses should slot in at RT immediately, with Sam Baker remaining at LT..
3.68: Terrence Brooks - FS - Florida State
Brooks is a former cornerback who was asked to drop down and cover slot receivers demonstrating good balance, fluidity and change of direction for coverage. Brooks looks the part of an NFL free safety and has the potential to be a ball-hawking FS.
4.103: Yawin Smallwood, ILB, Connecticut
Boasts long arms and impressive fluidity, allowing him to be just as effective in coverage as in supporting the run and attacking the passer. Good balance, agility and speed for the position. Smallwood was asked to cover wide receivers as well as running backs for the Huskies, demonstrating the versatility to intrigue 3-4 and 4-3 defensive coordinators, alike. One of the Best Players available here (IMO).
4.139: Anthony Steen - OG - Alabama
Possesses a thick, compact frame ideal for winning leverage battles in the trenches. Surprisingly quick, both when asked to slide laterally in pass protection, as well as when coming off the line downhill in second-level pursuit.
Fundamentally and technically solid in pass protection exhibiting patience to sit, punch and slide with good pad. Maximizes arm extension without over-extending despite lacking ideal length. Keeps his head on a swivel and displays good awareness.
5.147: Ryan Carrethers - NT - Arkansas State
Carrethers boasts a big body that looks a lot like a lane-clogging 330 lbs. Yet the one thing that really jumps out about Carrethers is his stat sheet: how does a 330 lbs guy record over 90 tackles in one season? The answer can be found by looking at his tape against Louisiana-Lafayette, where he recorded 16 tackles in one game alone: Carrethers is a two-gapping machine. He is a brilliant read-react defender, holding up the OL and flowing to the ball (between the tackles). Carrethers would be great as a nose tackle in any two-gapping system.
6.182: Zack Kerr - DT - Delaware
If there was ever a poor man's Dontari Poe, you're getting pretty close to him with Kerr. Kerr is a surprising athletic man for somebody who's 6'1", 326 lbs. He's got a complete skillset. This guy has future Pro Bowl talent written all over him. The Falcons beef up the D-line with Carrethers (6-1, 337 lbs) & Kerr (6-1, 326 lbs).
7.220: Ryan Grant - WR - Tulane
Quick hands, smooth coordination and wins with timing and precision in his routes to create just enough room to work. Grant showed surprising burst at the Senior Bowl, as well as the agility as a route-runner and reliable hands to out-play several more highly-touted receivers.
7.253: Marion Grice - RB - Arizona State
Shows good plant-and-go burst with the patience and instant acceleration to let defenders over-pursue before surging for positive yardage. Talented ballcarrier, willing blocker and reliable pass catcher out of the backfield.
7.255: Ronald Powell - OLB - Florida
Good frame (6-3, 235) and good overall athlete who also played tight end in high school. Proven pass-rush ability with explosive burst off the snap. Ascending star in 2011 before knee injuries the following season, and showed he is again a threat off the edge in 2013. Obvious athleticism when healthy.

Really hard to sit back with only one team & six picks but you guys blew through this like a twister. Here is the Eagles haul, made adjustment to DJ loss on fly, no compensation. Think they will just have to suck it up, be patient, let the draft come to them & fill holes/needs which is exactly what I tried to accomplish.
First - 22(22) Aaron Donald - DL - Pittsburgh
has a Watt like motor & mentality
Second - 22(54) Jordan Matthews - WR - Vanderbilt

Third - 22(86) Marcus Smith - DE - Louisville
adds premier pass rush talent to OLB position
Fourth - 22(122) Antone Exum - CB/S- Virginia Tech

Jacksonville Jaggywires:
1. Jadeveon Clowney - DE/OLB
Total freak that Gus Bradley will put to good use.
2. David Yankey - OG
Strengthens the interior of a line with a shaky interior.
3. Jimmy Garoppolo - QB
Although drafted late, probably supplants Henne early on and becomes the QB they'd hoped Gabbert would be.
4. Terrance West - RB
A mid=round replacement for MJD. He might not be able to fill those shoes but he should provide some excitement.
5. Victor Hampton - CB
Probably comes in and starts.
6. Jordan Zumwalt - LB
An upgrade to their LB corps.
7. Ego Ferguson - DT
Interior DL depth.
8. Marqueston Huff - FS
Could possibly come in and start.
9. John Urschel - OG/OC
Although probably a backup, the interior of the Jags line has issues and this kid could fight for a spot.
10. Josh Huff - WR
Helping out the WR corps.
11. DeAnthony Thomas - RB
And another RB who could see some action.
The Jags just have too many damned pics. :kubepalm:

3. A. J. McCarron - QB
If Locker can't get it done, McCarron could be starting.
4. Michael Sam - DE/OLB
The Titans' pass rush was anemic last year. Sam might be able to help out.
5. Chris Boswell - K
With Bironas gone, they've got to do something. :kubepalm:
6. Jeff Janis - WR
A good value pick. This kid could develop into something special with some work. It's hard to tell just how good he could be with proper coaching.

I'd be in if we restricted participation. I know that's unpopular. But it happens every time; everybody wants to be involved but things start to drag the further into it you get because people stop showing up for their picks.
The only reason this thing moved so quickly was because the mods were strict on the time limits and made about 50 picks for teams that went over their clock.

If the draft was to go down like this I hope the Texans look at some very intriguing prospects.

I was actually looking into modifying a piece of software for doing one of these drafts. Basically the idea is to take an existing fantasy football draft program, and filling it with 2014 NFL draft prospect data instead. Then making it available on the web as a .NET application, and letting people create accounts to join a draft. Obviously an email account would be required, so it could send automated emails to the GM when their team is up or on deck and such. I think it would be really cool, but I haven't really had time to do it since the project I'm on has kept me really busy.
I never really got that far with it, but I might look into it next week while on business travel and bored. I don't think it would be all that hard to do, and I could host the application on my personal server at home. I think it would make these drafts go incredibly fast, and I could probably make it to where individuals could control all 32 teams to create their own mock draft. Might be cool, but it will take some work.

Great job running things, and sharing your extensive knowledge of these prospects! This was a good draft, despite the many missed picks.

I'm more of a php/oracle guy than a .net guy (although I was a c/c++ programmer for years) but... hmm... it would be do-able. I just don't have the time to work on it or I'd try to lend a hand with it.
If my schedule frees up, I might take a stab at it myself.

Ok, the results page and the spreadsheet have been updated and completed! Now for some numbers! YAY! 
Our draft this year was heavily weighted towards the Defense, with 38 more picks (15%) going that direction.
As for conferences, it should be no surprise that the SEC remains the #1 drafted conference in total numbers and in weighted score. However, the PAC 12 moved up to #2 in both categories this year. The SEC and the PAC 12 were the only conferences to have at least 1 drafted player from every member school. The "Score" is the number of draftees divided by the number of schools in the conference, this allows for a more competitive view of comparing the numbers between conferences.
The individual schools with the most prospects drafted should come as no surprise. Alabama leads all schools with 11 prospects. The only unlikely name would be Colorado State with 5 draftees. Here are the top 12, every other team had 4 or less draftees.
Thanks to the guys who helped run this draft, Blake, Wolverinefan, and Steelb, it was a lot of fun! And thanks to everyone who participated!

You are correct, I had some of the players listed as UNC and some as North Carolina. I us a =unique function to pull the names, and then have a count function run by the name of the schools provided. So when there is a school with a few different names to it, I sometimes miss the abbreviations.

09(185) Buffalo Bills(Blake) Daniel Sorensen - S - BYU
09(224) Buffalo Bills(Blake) Brock Vereen - S - Minnesota
I think E.J. Manuel would be very happy with this draft. He got the starting right side of his offensive line upgraded while adding a topflight receiver and talented, but troubled TE. I wanted to replace Byrd earlier I never found the right value.
Broncos Draft
31(31) Denver Broncos (Blake) Ra'Shede Hageman - DL - Minnesota

31(207) Denver Broncos (Blake) Tyler Gaffney - RB - Stanford
31(246) Denver Broncos (Blake) Carrington Byndom - DB - Texas
I tried to upgrade Denver's Defense with premium picks while replacing some departing offensive pieces. Gaffney could be a great fit and only cost a 6th. Colter is my wildcard. I think he can learn from Welker and develop into a great slot receiver.

Yeah, I think I got that covered correctly. I had to look up a decent amount of the conferences due to the midlevel school changes. If you or anyone else spot an error, just let me know and I'll change it.

Even through not all of these were my picks I'm pleased with the results (also thanks for making picks while I was sorting my personal stuff out...all is well thank GOD)
1.) Xavier Su'a Filo OG UCLA
The best Guard in the Draft. Adds much needed depth in the interior and allows the Chargers to plug in a starter or let him learn and gain experience before taking on a full-time role.
2.) Jeremiah Attaochu OLB Georgia
You can never have enough pass-rushing OLBs and he adds depth and provides a much-needed replacement for the departed Shaun Phillips.
3.) Pierre Desir CB Lindenwood
Project pick but with a solid upside should he pan out. Tall CB who can develop into a starter.
4.) Charles Leno Jr. OT Boise State
Adds depth to the OL.
5.) Brent Urban DE Virginia
Depth for the D-line
6.) Xavier Grimble TE USC
Risky pick but if he pans out can become a solid receiving TE.
7.) Andrew Wilson ILB Missouri
More depth at the LB position.

board just didn't fall so well for Texans as gm's plucked up need positions/players desirable before each pick or so it seemed. QB position is a MF'er to fill. want so bad to take Clowney, but I'm not a 2nd tier guy, want best of the best. if you feel Bridgewater is the man, then you draft him. if you feel Fitzpatrick can fill role temporary & afford you time to develop top talent QB like Bortles then I think he should be the pick, higher upside.
