It was NFL draft buzz. Just wanted to mix it up over lunch.

I nearly lost my lunch from laughing when I saw the 1st pick. Thanks, Steve.

I mean, am I not supposed to take him?

It's a Fantasy Draft, go crazy. (Although he hasn't been out of the Top 10 since October.)

Must be that site. I think I've been able to get him 2-3 times.

Oh, the hell with it. If we are going to mock Sonny Styles at 31, then I'm going all in:

31. Arvell Reese, LB/EDGE
63. David Bailey, EDGE
95. Monroe Freeling, OT
125. Caleb Banks, DL
131. Jermod McCoy, CB
171. Chris Bell, WR
191. Jacob Rodriguez, LB
198. Treydan Stukes, S
204. Keionte Scott, Nickel
212. Mike Washington, RB
247. Sam Roush, TE

Did I miss anyone? Could maybe substitute Keylan Rutledge or Emmanuel Pregnon for Keionte Scottat 204.

I just ran a mock there.
Styles was again available at 31 which is just ridiculous. He won't get out of the top 10, and very likely won't get past the top 5.
They had Simpson going 4
Parker and Howell both in the top 15.
They had Joesph going in the top 20!
That site is way off right now on many prospects.

I don't like Sadiq, got a bad feeling about him but you might as well put him there in place of Roush!

 

[mayoclinic]

That's why I left him out!

 

[DoubleDeluxe]

You and me might be the only two people that feel that way.
I think he has bust written all over him.

Welp, wasn't going to show a mock again until before the Draft in 2 weeks but then this happened to me for the 1st time in months and months....he's no Sonny Styles but he got past Dallas and Philly.

How can you do my perfect mock better than I could myself? Aside from Tomczak who I know nothing about, that's a perfect mock for me.

The debates were:
63 - Golday vs Rutledge
125 Raridon vs Delp (if I took Raridon, might not have taken Kacmarek)
212 Konga vs CB

Mayo would probably disagree but I'd take Rutledge and Rolder over Golday.

I've not seen anything to convince me that Michigan LBs are to be avoided at all costs.. *LOL*

I'd have taken Sobkowicz over Tomczak (amy relation to Mike?).

Not sure I see the wisdom in taking Zuhn after you took Rutledge unless you think that Zuhn will be your Swing Tackle in the future...

Zuhn can back up C/G/RT.

 

[DaBruinz]

Zuhn can back up C/G/RT.

Yeah. I know that. Doesn't address the issue with added 2 guys who are primarily slated to be interior guys when you already have AVT, Brown, Wilson, and Onwenu. Or are you planning to jettison Onwenu??

Rutledge for G. Zuhn for depth.

I would be surprised if we took 2 IOL unless we plan to trade/cut Owenu. That said you did take Zuhn late, and there is nothing wrong with that. Wallace is probably gone, so that free's up one spot.

We have an old RT, an injured-history LG, a RG with a Fat $ contract and weight issues, and 2 2nd year starters who missed time in their rookie campaigns. If that doesn't spell the need for some player diversity IDK what does.
