BBI Mock Draft – DISCUSSION Thread

Matt G : 4/2/2017 10:32 pm
We will use this as a discussion thread to keep the picks thread uncluttered. These threads will be used for the duration of the entire draft and will need to be bumped occasionally to push them back to page 1 of the forum.

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 timeframe. 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) the spot will be reassigned to one of the BBIers who have expressed an interest to fill the vacancy.

Once again, I strongly encourage ALL GMs to utilize the BBI Mock Draft Spreadsheet . The spreadsheet contains the draft order (RD1-6) by team and GM with a fairly comprehensive 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.

We did plenty of research and we are convinced that Phillips is clean (translation: we don't care, it's late enough in the draft to not worry about it for us). He's got some filling out to do, but we think he can be a valuable guy to rotate in and play specials as he learns how to be a pro.
Any one have superspynyg email to let him know he is up?

I like your pick. He was in my Top 4 for the pick I used on Douglas and then there was a definite drop. Even though I had already landed an OLB in Barnett, Phillips would have been too good to pass up had he made it to my pick.
Done!!!!

Nice pick... I think Sharpe is tremendous value here. Even if he can't stay out at RT I think he can make a really good RG.
didn't think it would take long  
Amtoft : 4/19/2017 2:10 pm : link
for Ifeadi Odenigbo to go after Sy put up his review. The problem I have with him is that he isn't a full time starter. He basically has just been a pass rusher and isn't good against the run. However in the 5th round to get a DE that can get after the QB is pretty good.
Next 4 picks...

Ravens pick is in  
Mike in NY : 4/19/2017 2:23 pm : link
With Philly stealing Phillips from me, Deatrich Wise Jr. was the next player on my list. Didn't progress as expected this year, but he has experience at the 5 technique and should compete immediately for a role in the Ravens' DL rotation. Minnesota is now on the clock.

Not liking that one. Too early for a guy with a track record of injuries including two prior foot injuries. The more recent requiring surgery which hasn't allowed him to workout this post season. I'm extremely reluctant to spend Draft resources on guys with repeat leg and foot injuries, especially when the doctors start cutting into them.
I guess my thought process was this: this draft class sucks ass. Sure, life was busy this year and I know less about this class than others, but sometime near 100 I kinda looked things over and couldn't find much I liked. I'd look at cutups and wasn't sure I was looking at NFL players. Corn Elder looked decent, but he's smaller than ideal and didn't really make many plays. A couple other edge players looked possible, but I just didn't see it. Mathis looked like the most talented guy left that I had seen. I gambled on greatness in the 4th round of a shitty draft.

Now, I say that and it'll probably have a dozen late rounders that end up in a probowl, but I didn't see any.

Michael Roberts. Great option for Minnesota after losing Rhett Ellison and not having really anything much to speak of after Rudolph. Roberts is probably the best blocking TE in this draft, and had a ton of TDs. He can play THIS year, and that makes him too good to pass up this late in the draft.

In all seriousness Jim... Don't take things personally. We are just having fun and passing time. Work comes first and we all understand that.

Aaron Jones is my RB that I love. He was on my list for my 4th rounder, but I thought he would make it to my 5th or even 6th. He gets so little publicity. You watch him and he is great man. His stiff arm is top notch, he catches well, rans with good wiggle and good power. I really hope the Giants look at Jones in the 4th! Love this pick.
next 4 picks...
