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.
DE Tarell Basham, Ohio
correct there are several really good edge rushers left, but wanted a guy with a little more size, which Basham has with room to grow.
Jay on the Island / Tampa on the clock
If I hadn't already taken Garrett #1, this guy was very high on my list.
Kind of stunned and excited to get Brantley there. Checks off the biggest priority for the Vikings in the draft. To not have a first rounder, and get Brantley in the fold, feels like a big win.
Good value with Engram, but I neither he nor Brate offer much as a blocker. That being said, there definitely is a plateau in terms of talent at this point in the draft and Engram does offer one of the greater upsides of the players left.
I had Alvin Kamara 7th on my list. I know some people really love him, but there is something about him that I keep pushing him down for some reason. Maybe I just haven't seen enough of him. Probably a mistake on my part and he will be a beast! Engram I have seen go quiet to much in games despite amazing abilities, but had him 9th on my list. Just isn't the blocker I would like unless I was running a 2 TE offense. If I was running a 2 TE offense he would have been much higher for me.

Yeah, for Cleveland Kamara doesn't make a lot of sense, with Duke Johnson on the squad. A lot of players I like but some positions of much much higher need right now.

You are drafting for Cleveland... You can throw a dart and hit a need! Be an interesting choice here. I think I know who I would take tho.

True, but they just spent stupid money on Zeitler and Tretter. I am not going to take Pocic in the 2nd round.

There are probably 3 or 4 players I would be between if I were the Cleveland Browns at this point, but also having pick 65 I think there is 1 or 2 that would likely jump to the head of my list
Thanks Mike! There are a few players I like better as CBs right now, but this kid is just so dynamic. If you're a team like the Browns, you need to add these kinds of guys. If nothing else, he's a Devin Hester-type talent as a returner. That alone is worthy of a 2nd round pick.
He also took the player I was taking for the Lions.

Lionhart takes probably the player that I would mostly have taken had I been the Browns. I really think Cleveland is killing it so far in the Mock Draft.

My only issue with Jackson, who I have seen a lot, is I think I like him more as a nickel back. Not that he can't play outside, but just that he would excel there. There seem to be a lot of these types of players... Peppers, Jackson, Curtis Samuel, etc. Players that have a ton of talent, but their position is not locked in or confined.

Amtoft, I agree with you. But Cleveland actually needs a slot corner anyway. So to add a dynamic returner too? I'm down.

I think in this day and age every team needs a stud slot CB. It is why Jackson to most teams makes a ton of sense and a great pick. That is his floor while which is a pretty great floor. I can't knock the pick at all. Just was stating the only thing holding me back from having him higher. He has very good cover skills to go with elite athleticism.
Walker is the player I just moved up to my #2. I am actually a big fan of his. I like that he can be a very good DE and move him inside as well especially on passing downs. When you look at DEs in the this draft I am just not a fan of most of them. I bumped Walker up because I thought he would be the last DE that I wanted for probably a round or two unless someone drops. The value was close enough on my 2-5 that taking Walker now would have made more sense for my team. Nice pick.
The pick was between Kamara and Engram, and with Engram going off the board right before us, it was a no brainer to take Kamara
WR/RB Curtis Samuel (small, but dynamic)
DE Carl Lawson (has everything except length)
OLB Tyus Bowser
CBs Cordrea Tankersley and Fabian Moreau
ILB Raekwon McMillan (too similar to Goodson?)
OT Taylor Moton
WRs Chris Godwin, Cooper Kupp, Zay Jones
QB Davis Webb (I wouldn't, but Andy might...)
I would want Moton from that list
Ohhh Maybe I will get in my pick today! ... Andy we all know you are taking TE Bucky Hodges with your pick so don't try it!
No way they nail it like that come April 28th.. They get Garret prob and fuck the rest of them up.

Yeah, they'll definitely both it. Hopefully they keep trading. Diana DB load up on picks again for nex lt year ;)

Jesus. Botch it. Hopefully they trade down and load up on picks again
I am an usher for Frisco Roughriders minor league team.11:00am game today.Nice retirement job that keeps me busy and get to see Rangers top prospects play AA baseball.Thanks Matt for a great job.
For me, there are 3 players I likely would be going between if I were the Giants and I could see the merits of any of the 3. At the end of the day it is Andy's call.
When I mentioned 3 that I would consider for the Giants, 2 were Tankersley and Moton
Moton didn't impress me in my scouting trip to Draft Breakdown...

From what I have seen/read Moton projects better as a guard in the NFL then a Tackle. He would most likely start his rookie year as a Tackle for the Texans then transition to Guard in later years (starters are getting older and slower)
A talented edge defender we see Willis as their heir to Justin Houston. Crazy SPARQ data second only to Garrett. A 1.53 10 yd split, a 4.5 40 (in Indy), 125 inch broad jump and a 39 vertical plus a 6.8 3 cone. That is top 10 percentile stuff.
All following on from a career at Kansas State where he notched 25.5 sacks and 39.5 TfL. There's some work to be done, for all those numbers Willis still plays a bit stiff at times and needs to work on his moves but there's a lot here to work with.
You have to be able to get to the QB in today's NFL and Willis helps us get that done.
