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.

This is shaping up to be a no brainer when my pick comes around
Don't count your Trubiskies just yet, Houston. Miami can move on from Tannehill pretty painlessly in 2018.
True, but still plenty of options at my positionS of need.
Great Pick.. best one so far IMO
There are a number of players who I would probably rank similarly still on the board. Not sure Andy can go wrong with any of them.
2. San Francisco - S Jamal Adams
3. Chicago - DL Jonathan Allen out of Alabama )
4. Jacksonville - Leonard Fournette,RB, LSU
5. Tennessee - TE O'Terrius Jabari "O.J." Howard, Alabama
6. New York Jets - Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State
7. Los Angeles Chargers - DL Solomon Thomas
8. Carolina - John Ross, WR Washington
9. Cincinnati - Jabrill Peppers, SS, Michigan
10. Buffalo - MIKE WILLIAMS WR Clemson
11. New Orleans - LB Reuben Foster
12. Cleveland - Malik Hooker, FS, Ohio State
13. Arizona - WR, Corey Davis, Western Michigan
14. Philadelphia - CB Gareon Conley, The Ohio State University
15. Indianapolis - CB Marlon Humphrey out of Alabama
16. Baltimore - DEREK BARNETT/EDGE/TENNESSEE
17. Washington - HB - Christian McCaffery - Stanford
18. Tennessee - DE/LB Haason Reddick, Temple
19. Tampa Bay - OLB Takkarist McKinley, OLB UCLA
20. Denver - Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Wisconsin
21. Detroit - Dalvin Cook, RB, FSU
22. Miami - Forrest Lamp, OG, Western Kentucky
23. New York Giants __________)
QB?
TE?
OL?
CB?
Mahomes over Trubisky? Come on man!
Wish he was available at 23. If we said he was a top 10 pick 6 months ago, no one would have been surprised.
Back to reality...
BPA on most draftnik boards would be Trubisky: #12 on CBS, #11 on GBN, #10 on nfl.com). After that, there's Watson Watson (17/17/35), Njoku (20/24/13), Charlton (24/26/12) and McDowell (23/31/17), among others.

That's the biggest surprise to me in this mock so far.

In the actual draft I think he's on the board when the Giants pick.
Honestly, it's a good pick, though I'd have taken Charlton.
But thats my TV if Cook falls into the 20s but not to the GMen.

Andy can't resist a Miami TE when he sees one... aint that right Andy!
Hey! I was just ahead of my time... now the Patriots use the 2TE sets to great success. Or something like that.
Where do you think Belichek got the idea... He was like damn... Andy knows what's up!
Who knows as they may prefer the local guy in Pat Mahomes Jr. or the more pro ready Deshaun Watson. There are plenty of other non-QB's who would make sense for Houston although I will refrain from naming names as some of them are players I like!
The other pick I was looking at was LT Bolles. It isn't so much his age that bothers me, but that he needs to really work on his strength. I don't think I could put him at RT this year and have him be as successful as Cam Robinson would be. However, long term Bolles would have taken over for Penn in a year or 2 so I am probably making a mistake. Bolles has great feet and if he was 23 with a little more time working on his strength he is a top 10 pick easy.
Cam Robinson is either underrated, being knocked down because of Fluker, or the criminal stuff is scaring people away. If he gets a hold of you... you are going for a ride!

Robinson scares me because the footwork is sloppy like Flowers. He can overpower guys in college, but that won't work in the NFL. Also has concerns about effort.
Trubisky was an easy choice. Texans don't need Rodgers, Farve, Young or Brees; They need a Simms. Consistant and a competitor. A guy who is even-keeled.
King wouldn't have to go far from college. He also has allowed only 1 TD in the past 28 games with none given up last year.
KC is on the clock

King does seem like someone the Seahawks would target and makes sense late in Round 1. I also thought the UConn S would be someone that Seattle could target. Now with KC up it will be interested to see if they grab Mahomes or Watson and let that QB sit behind Alex Smith, add some youth at LB with Charlton, Cunningham, and Davis all on the board, or go in a totally different direction.
Cunningham gives the Chiefs an athletic play-making LB to take over from Derrick Johnson and let Houston worry about going forward.
Williams is a pass rusher, but the off field questions concern me
I do... Trubisky #1 and Kizer #2...
5th year option on a QB was an important factor for this selection as well...
Let him sit behind Brees and soak up all the knowledge
I like your draft so far for Cleveland
