Mock 1: Discussion Thread - All mock draft discussion here

I'll have to update this thing after I make some coffee. I didn't come around yesterday.
 
I'm really impressed at how the mock draft looks so far. Everyone is doing a good job to not play homer so far and most picks make since for their respective teams! Good Job Fellas!
 
He missed his last pick &, since he hasn't been around in over 4 days & only has a couple of hours left, I guess he'll miss this pick as well.

Come on guys. You made a committment. Show up & make your pick, or bow out of the draft.
 
we never changed anything....people lost interest after the name prospects were off the glass I assume...I could have kept picking players but that turns into Vinnymock instead of a multiparticipant effort. Blake (The NFL Draft) wants to do another one with less participants...I think we should kill this one at 3 rounds, try to rank who had the best "first day" draft and perhaps try to run one more before the April draft. I think we have plenty of time and it will probably look different since FA is going to change some team needs.

Agreed.

I'm with you...don't forget that this week and next week for the most part is spring break, people are just out of town right now...
 
I pretty much agree with what Vinny mentioned. It's almost as if most interest left once the 'Big Name' prospects were gone. Guess we'll have to try to do better next time.
 
And Tom Brady never plays a down of pro ball. Never know where the big names are. Looking forward to the next draft.
 
im doing 1 on another site at the moment and its a 4 hour clock-a bit short but you've none of this delay. i think 8-12 hours is the best job
 
So are we blowing this up now or what? There was some discussion about ending it after 3 rounds.
 
I say we shut it down, regroup, and roll out our post FA speculatory extravaganza in a week or so. There are a still a few teams making cuts and signing players...ie filling needs. The mods can keep running this or start a new one now, so don't let me stop anything. I'm just one voice with a suggestion.

I am with you on this.
 
Well im done picking, so Im good either way. ;)

Anyways, I guess if anyone has anymore to say about the Texans draft, now would be a great time to talk about it.

1. Reggie Bush
2. Jonathan Scott
3. Donte Whitner
4. Alan Zemaitis
5. Omar Jacobs

With Bush I was tempted to take Young in this mock, simply because I think he is unbelievable to watch, but right when I picked, we had just signed Carr to his 3 year big money contract, so I decided not to. But everyone basically knows the story about Bush.

With Scott, I just couldnt wait any longer for a tackle. If I dont get one here, who knows when the next chance we have to get one will be.

Whitner, somehow fell to round 3, and is great value. He is starting to show up in alot of mocks in round 1. And after running sub 4.4 40's, his stock will continue to grow.

Zemaitis, personally, I think is underrated. In the games I watched him, he seemed to have a great break on the ball, and always challenged the WR for it. I think he will go in round 2 at least, come draft time.

And lastly, Omar Jacobs. He is a QB we can groom for the future. He has the tools to do great things, but just needs to get smarter at the game. No doubt we could trade him in a couple of years for a 2nd rounder or so. Maybe he can even take over for Carr if he doesnt pan out.
 
I'm all for shutting this down too. I've had to make a few picks, and it seems like we've had a few GMs who were only interested in making their first or second round pick. Let's shut it down, and try again.

I think we have more than enough dedicated mocksters on this board, that we know will finish a mock.

Lets try again in a couple of weeks with these people. Kind of like, invitation only.
 
those who have a "ON TIME" track record (should they want to do it again) could double up (select for two teams) this would help expedite the process, since time is now of the esscence with roughly only one month left till D-Day :twocents:

I know nothing about college football players so how about you let me draft for the Lions??

this draft is complete I believe. We should have another one soon enough.

If you're going to guess randomly on players, I think you should have the Jags.
