Dream Draft

[mayoclinic]

As discussed elsewhere, there will be a lot of variation in how different teams grade players. We've seen a lot of variation among final draft boards.

Using any prospect ranking from Daniel Jeremiah's top 150, Dane Brugler's top 300, and Mike Renner's top 300 list (see below), if the draft could play out ideally for you, how would it go? Please cite ranking from appropriate board. Trades allowed. A 2 position variance is allowed.

This is how the draft would ideally fall for you "within reason", based on prospect rankings from 3 highly respected pundits.

At 125 I was torn between Kaleb Proctor and Florida CB Devin Moore (#131 on Brugler's top 300).

Though i love most of this draft, the lack of a CB is concerning.

 

[mayoclinic]

Yeah, agreed. I could go with Devin Moore at 125, but I chose to overload the lines instead.

I do think VJ Payne offers CB/S versatility.

In this evening's mock draft, Jeremiah has Iheanchor gone before 31.

 

[DaBruinz]

Yeah, agreed. I could go with Devin Moore at 125, but I chose to overload the lines instead.

I do think VJ Payne offers CB/S versatility.

And, of course, I'm disappointed you didn't take my man Kacmarek and chose that "bum" Roush..

Heck you didn't taje any of my binkies:
Jacas, Rodriguez, Kacmarek or Sobkowicz... *Pout*

 

[mayoclinic]

Well, do your own dream draft. That's what the thread is for.

I didn't want to use too many big boards, but Treydan Stukes is at 61 of PFFs board, within the 2-position reach.

Gabe ajacas is at 62 on one of the boards listed.

 

[manxman2601]

Gabe ajacas is at 62 on one of the boards listed.

I wouldn't rely too much on PFF. Has it been updated since they sacked everyone?

 

[mayoclinic]

That's why I didn't include it. I was tempted, though, just so you could put Stukes at 63 in your dream draft.

 

[Clonamery]

Gabe ajacas is at 62 on one of the boards listed.

Stukes is 58 on the Consensus board for PFSN.

 

[mayoclinic]

Not within 2 of 63.

 

[Clonamery]

Not within 2 of 63.

Arif Hasan (Wide Left) has him at 62.

 

[mayoclinic]

Bleacher Report has Stukes at 74, Tony Pauline at 83.

This is why I didn't want to expand the big board list. There is a difference between dream and total fantasy.

 

[manxman2601]

That's why I didn't include it. I was tempted, though, just so you could put Stukes at 63 in your dream draft.

I don't think it's realistic which is why I chose not to go with it.

 

[Clonamery]

Stukes is 43 to 83 across 10 or so opinion boards. What's a gal to do.
