It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Yeah I saw the Godfather's Hot 150 list a couple of days ago too, and posted a link to it in the Big Boards thread...There's more than a couple of surprises in it, that's for sure...Rare disagreement with the Cap’n. I like Bryan Edwards, the WR from SC, and Jonathan Greenard, the DE/OLB from Florida, in the third-fourth round range.
In Gil Brandt’s top 150 they’re 69 and 98, respectively.
I don't mind the PK & QB picks...they were made during the 6th & 7th rounds and that's as early as I'm willing to go with either of them, though I still would've tried to see who was available at OT (or maybe Slot CB) first...The rest of these picks are Excellent...I especially like how almost every one of our needs is addressed at least once...Ok,that was my last draft rodeo.These are my results.View attachment 26948
Anything we receive from Rivers should be considered the loose change recovered from your pockets after a night of blackout-inducing drinking while you are still missing the bills...What a complete, unacceptable abomination that draft was...Pretty good draft , on the "edge" side of things should we expect more from Derek Rivers ......must be his last chance albeit with injuries over the last few seasons
I’d be really shocked if Claypool lasted until 98. BUT, this would be an excellent draft if it fell this way and the Pats made those exact picks.
Though prefer a different 2nd TE, like a Colby Parkinson, and not 100% all in on Fromm, I don’t see him as an improvement over Stidham.
I understand your reasoning behind taking Fromm, and in a normal year and with a more-balanced & talented overall roster I would be ok with the pick here...It's certainly not a reach value-wise...But like Scott99 mentioned above, I too don't believe that Fromm will be an improvement over Stid, and he certainly won't be this season, so that's why I'm in favor of using that pick on a position player to help fill one of our several and in some cases deep holes...Last one from me, on PFN, did some wheeling and dealing of picks:
44. Kmet, TE, ND
55. Baun, OLB, Wisconsin
92. Biadasz, C, Wisconsin
98. Claypool, WR, ND
100. Hamilton, DT, OSU
119. Fromm, QB, Georgia
172. Jennings, DE, Alabama
204. Alex Taylor, OT, SC State,
212. M. Perry, RB, Navy
213. Tamoepeau, TE, Portland State
230. Bass, K, Georgia Southern
241. Arnold, S, Baylor
I would have taken Baun at 44 but looking at the ratings on that simulator thought I could still get him at 55. Baun at 44 would still let me pick Trautman at 55 so I guess I prefer Kmet to Trautman based primarily on better experience with competitors.
I had a similar situation with Hamilton and Claypool.
This was the first time I mock-selected Fromm. I am sort of undecided about drafting a QB until late, but while I think he’s going to be a career backup I still think he’s a lot better than the guys like Dinucci or Montez and thus too good of a value there to pass up.
Perry is sort of a new binkie for me as a gadget type player.
The other picks were just the ones I prefer at need positions with a hope that Jennings and Taylor’s limitations athletically won’t deter them from being useful rotation players on each line, and Arnold would be a good special teams player a la Ebner.
One more from The Draft Network, this time using their Predictive board:
- 204
Kindle Vildor, CB Georgia Southern
- Picked him in the other mock too...
Hand size, arm length & strength are terrific for somebody < 5'10, gives hope that he can stay outside...Can jump out of the gym...COD skills to mirror Slot WRs are questionable...level of competition has to be considered also...but at #204 well worth the pick...Hope that helps...do you have a good read on him?
Ruggs is the only pick he made that is way lower than expected.You show just how unrealistic this process can be. We would be very lucky to get plays where you drafted them.
Not sure how realistic this is, but what a haulLast one from me, on PFN, did some wheeling and dealing of picks:

Extremely impressive haul...Only critiques I have is that I would've tried to use a pick somewhere for a Center, and I would've drafted a beefier DT at #87 than Elliot such as Raekwon Davis, Davon Hamilton or Leki Fotu, if any of those 3 were still available that is...

I've been playing around withe PFF simulator, too. And I was pretty happy with how my effort came out.PFF trade down edition.
