Draft simulator

Also a little concerned about the Richard Sherman effect. I like big corners, but I have no way of knowing if this guy can actually play until I watch him some. Eventually you also have to cover people.

 

In this system I'm less worried about corner than safety anyway. And yeah, it doesn't give us our 7th rounder.

 

I just watched Jean-Baptiste's cut up from the Gator Bowl and from another game. Not impressed. Looks more Melvin White than Richard Sherman.

 

I keep having Antonio Richardson still there and if I don't take him no OTs anywhere that aren't a huge reach.

Still, it's a cool site and fun. If I had time I'd check the other teams' needs and picks to see how much it follows plausible scenarios.

New league year/FA is March 11 and the draft ia all the way in May so we have a long fucking wait.

 

I do think we need to get better at CB this year because of the opposition we face. We're facing the best WRs in the game.

Hey may as well put this here since it's draft related but nothing big. But kind of cool.

Don Banks did the 2013 re draft thing and put Star at 12. Cool thing is he rated Kawaan at 13. Got to love it.

RB CARLOS HYDE
OHIO STATE. - how do you pass on a talent like this down here

 

Rumors have Morgan Moses (OT Virginia) moving up draft boards, possibly to the early second or even late first. I chose him at #92 based on CBS' draft rankings but it would be tough to take that risk at #28. I'm not sure about Tiny either, actually. As much as I want an OT, I don't know that the value is there if Lewan isn't.

 

They updated the site today so I took another run at it.

Still can't figure out why they give our 7th to San Francisco. And didn't we get the Giants' 7th for Beason? Darqueze Dennard fell to #27, which is insane because that guy is great. Also, Aaron Donald would be really exciting if we were a 3-4 one-gap team. I think he can have a lesser J.J. Watt type impact.



28) OT TAYLOR LEWAN, MICHIGAN - No secret here. I don't know why he's fallen in some rankings but he's a 5+ year starter at LT.


60) CB KYLE FULLER, VIRGINIA TECH - I prefer him over Roby, especially for this system.


92) DE JACKSON JEFFCOAT, TEXAS - Thought about Abbrederis but decided Jeffcoat's talent was too much to pass up, plus I've stated my believe that WR is easier to address in free agency.


124) CB KEITH MCGILL, UTAH - The fictional Saints took Dion Bailey before I could, so I grabbed McGill with the intention of moving him to safety.


156) OT JUSTIN BRITT, MISSOURI - I obviously like him a lot more than this ranking does, as I'd be surprised if he even lasts to the fifth round. At worst Britt is a guy who can adequately back up left and right tackle, which has value. I think he's a potential starter.


188) DE AARON LYNCH, USF - Still love Sunseri here, but I chose Lynch just to be different. I guess I'm assuming that Hardy signs elsewhere, so Aaron is a similar story of a former top prospect who falls in the draft due to various question marks. I'm not sure he has Hardy's passion for the game, but the talent is there.
