I am starting this thread early to get the ball rolling, but the clock will NOT officially start until
Thursday, April 17th at 9am. The draft will run from 9am to 6pm Monday through Friday until the start of the NFL Draft (Thursday, May 8th) or the completion of the 5th round. Please remember to use the DISCUSSION thread so we can keep this thread uncluttered.
Once a team is on the clock, they will have two hours to make a selection. If a team goes on the clock after 4pm, their two hour window will roll over to the next day. For example, if you go on the clock at 4:30pm, you will have until 9:30 am to make a selection. Picks may be made between 6pm and 9am if GMs are online and following the draft thread. The time limit only applies during the 9am to 6pm time frame. If the two hour time limit expires, I will make a pick using any list that the GM for the team has sent me in advance (send lists to the email address in my profile) or in the absence of a list, I will use the
GBN Big Board with a little discretion so as not make an obvious dumb pick (ie: Indianapolis Colts won’t be taking a QB in the 1st round this year). If a GM misses two consecutive picks without providing a prospect list or making some form of contact with me (email or posting on the draft thread) Saos1n and Yatqb will have priority to fill the vacancy. Otherwise, the spot will be reassigned to one of the BBIers that didn't get into the draft but were active in the draft discussion thread.
I have saved the GBN Big Board as of 4/2 in a
Google Document. Once again, we will have a
Google Spreadsheet. The spreadsheet contains the draft order (RD1-5) by team (and GM) and a list of both available and taken prospects based on the GBN Big Board (as well as several other prospects that did not make the GBN Big Board). I will try to keep the spreadsheet and thread updated as often as possible.

WR Josh Huff, Oregon
Dezmen Southward, FS, Wisconsin
Dez is a very smart kid who didn't start playing football until his Senior year of High School. He was a 2 time honorable mention All Big-10 selection who has a ton of upside. He has to hone his technique, but the instincts are there. Despite a multitude of Wisconsin players projected to be drafted before him, he was the stand out at the Wisconsin pro day.
Below is an article about his pro day. There are some conflicting reports on his health, but we are hopeful he is healthy, can play ST right away and become a defensive contributor before the year is over.
Dez Southward - ( New Window )
Next 5 picks:
150. Jacksonville (Kevin in CT) from Det
151. Tennessee (Sir-Yes-Sir)
152. New York Giants (Andy in Halifax)
153. St. Louis (BigBlueTT)
154. New York Jets (Jon in NYC)
6’1” 205
It’s of course overly optimistic to think the Titans can make up for the loss of Verner with a 5th round pick. We stayed true to our board and will have to look from within to solve our corner problem
We can however, add a guy for the future with great potential to be an impact player at the position. Shows ability as both a good run supporter and an excellent man cover guy with above average height/arm length.
Aikens was recruited by major schools and attended the University of Illinois before getting booted off the team for involvement in a theft. No problems since, and after some pro coaching and adjustment to the bigger faster game, could be very valuable.
New York Giants (Andy in Halifax) is on the clock
I actually really noticed him when I was checking out Martin. Both seemed to dominate and I thought Watt looked like a starting LG at the NFL level.
Based on the above pic, he's also useful for team luau's.

165. San Diego (uconngiant)
C, Tyler Larsen, Utah State
Marqueston Huff, CB/S, Wyoming
Our former fatboy in chief is on the clock with KC.
Antone Exum, CB/FS, Virginia Tech
Justin Ellis, DT, Louisiana Tech
Don't quite understand him being labelled as "strictly a run stuffer"... Ellis has amazing quickness for a man his size (6'2 350lbs)... He uses his quickness and anticipation to disrupt the pocket... He also has a non-stop motor... Constantly see him chasing down ball carriers 20-30 yards down the field... Long arms, violent hands and plays with leverage that you don't see very often from men his size... Shows flashes of Vince Wilfork, IMO...
San Diego (uconngiant) is now on the clock
Smallwood - ( New Window )
Panthers pick:
Larry Webster, DE Bloomsburg
Seantrel Henderson OT Miami
