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.
So the 3rd Round order will reflect any trades involving 3rd round or later picks at the time 3rd Round starts? Just wanted to confirm, because if I have pick 99 rather than pick 74 that does alter my calculations about certain positions being available at certain points
Why, yes. Yes they do.
Now maybe he would go OJ Howard, to address some of the blocking and give Bortles another receiving option. Kills 2 birds with one stone.
I could see them taking OL in the second because that's where the value is.
Kevin's pick makes more sense in that context.
Me either. It doesn't take that long to periodically check BBI on your phone to see what pick we are up to now that the thread is pinned at the top of the board.
Henderson alone was scary

but surprised we're only four picks in. Matt was kind enough to send us all emails...

With Delanie Walker turning 33 years old in August and only signed till next year, OJ Howard would be the perfect compliment. Both Walker and Howard would be killer for two TE formations and giving Marcus Mariota more weapons in the passing game.
Didn't consider QB at all?

on the board, but Lattimore is a no brainer here. With Revis gone and holes all over, the Jets get a young, lock down corner who can be a cornerstone of that D for 10 years.

Not even a little bit. Think I'll have a good chance of someone in the 2nd.
Definitely value over need here.

Makes sense depending on how you had both of them ranked. I personally don't have Thomas on a higher tier than Hooker, but if you do I can see why you did what you did.
On a separate matter, hopefully we can pick up the pace a bit.
If there is someone I can send my picks to just in case FatMan doesnt make his in the next two hours, pleas let me know...
Thanks
I was afraid that Cincy would take Williams to pair with Green but in the end I get my man!!! Welcome to Buffalo Mike Williams!!!
Do like Marc Ross and flip a coin. Or have Mara make a pick from the Kentucky Derby.
and that's Hooker. Kid has unbelievable, range, instincts and ball skills. I can't wait to see this kid as a pro. Didn't play a whole lot at OSU, but my goodness can he do it all. The first step in turning around Cleveland's abysmal pass defense.
I think what you need more is insurance if anything should happen to David Johnson. Or you can throw darts. :)
Interesting thing about this draft is that there are some good teams who need a QB...
Arizona, Denver, Houston. Arguably NYG, Pittsburgh, KC, New Orleans
