We will use this as a discussion thread to keep the SELECTIONS thread uncluttered. These threads will be used for the duration of the draft.
While we are starting early, the clock won’t officially start until
Monday, April 8th at 9am. The draft will run from 9am to 6pm Monday through Friday until the start of the NFL Draft (Thursday, April 25th) or the completion of the 6th 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 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 (e.g. Kansas City won’t be taking a QB in the 1st round this year).
In consideration of your fellow participants, and so we can maintain strong momentum throughout the draft process, please continue to actively monitor the thread over the next two weeks. As always, I will provide "friendly reminder" emails as your upcoming picks approach.
If a GM misses a pick AND fails make some form of contact with me (either via email, posting on the draft DISCUSSION thread, or providing me with a prospect list) prior to their next pick, they will have just 15 minutes to make their next selection. With two consecutive missed picks, their spot will be forfeited and reassigned to one of the BBIers who have expressed an interest to fill the vacancy.
If you expect to miss a pick, please send me your draft board and I will make the selection on your behalf.
Per usual, we will also hold an undrafted free agency process that will start immediately after the final pick of RD6. Anyone who wants to participate can select up to 5 UDFAs. Selections are made on a first come, first serve basis. I am not making any changes to this process, so please don’t ask.
Please utilize the
BBI Mock Draft Spreadsheet. The spreadsheet contains the draft order (RD1-6) by team and GM with a fairly comprehensive list 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… Good luck!
+1
This is a QB first round for the Giants. Drafting a wide receiver just to have Jones or Lock throwing to him would be foolish.
I mean, you draft for the future, not for this season.
I disagree with the top 4 QB's off the board especially with the Vikings also having a pick at 23. If they don't think both Penix and Nix will be gone by then wait until that pick to select a QB.
They would... no way they pass on a QB. Really I expect Denver to take a QB here also and there is only one that super fits what Sean Payton likes to do. He really is the perfect fit.

is where the BBI draft always breaks down. No way Minny passes on QB here no matter what the owner will claim as the reason. This is how the Raiders got Justin Herbert because they would rather say look I drafted a good player than take a chance on a QB who may bust. However all the teams that passed on Justin Herbert are the ones that look dumb. Just like this pick of Dallas Turner.

No way either should make it that far and when they don't what is Minny left with... Rattler? hahaha You can't wait on your QB.
No we don't do that at this point. For the next week there is no clock. After we have a clock, Matt takes care of all of the e-mail reminders so you don't have to notify the team picking after you.

We do get emails... Matt checked in with me when we were a few picks out.

Nix did not look like anything other than a Day 3 gamble at Auburn and finally looked good when he was the most experienced player and playing in an offense that operated mainly within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage with WR's open in space. That does not easily translate to the NFL. He looked awkward when having to throw the deep ball or when trying to max out velocity. Penix was productive, but that injury history is scary and he looks like he may require a specific setup around him. If you are a team like the Giants can you risk taking him in Round 1 with the crap that you have protecting his blind side? I also do not see him being effective for a team who runs an offense built on timing.

Minny is not the Giants. They have pieces in place what they don't have is a QB. If 4 QBs go before pick 6 I expect the Giants to take MHj/Nabers. Then we will have to punt until next year. Minny can't do that though. They are a better team and have players in place to succeed now. By right Nix would never make it past Sean Payton and I can tell you neither will make it by the Raiders. I am going QB because that is the right move even though technically I already drafted Justin Herbert, but should I pass on a WR because I also drafted Justin Jefferson and AJ Brown?
Bye Felicia!
Whaaaattt... nooooo I wouldn't that... hahahaha
Come to the dark side, my drafting is Supreme:)
No such thing as a can't miss prospect. Dallas Turner isn't a can't miss prospect. Nix turns into a star and it won't matter how good Dallas Turner is... you blew the pick because on your team you don't have a QB.

Here is the thing... It benefits me. The Raiders need a QB and there is really only 6 good QBs in this draft. I was like well crap who is the best non QB player that fits my need... I was about to take the top CB, but now I get a QB that is a better need for me. Plenty of CBs later, but not QBs.
Also don't take anything personal. We are all just voicing our opinions. You are allowed to take anyone you want... Even if it is the wrong choice hahaha.
Agreed.
Indeed.
I dont know, I felt like Penix is in the mix for the Broncos....and I am not so sure Payton doesnt like him.
I can see this happening, but I can also see QBs slipping.
The Giants have gotten an enormous break with this draft, just like they did in 2018. All they have to do is be smart and take advantage.
Drive safe. We can wait if it takes longer.
Drive safely...
;)
You don't think Denver takes a QB? I think it is almost a lock they do. Have you seen their QB room? If 4 QBs are gone that leaves Nix and Penix.
The Raiders are also rolling out O'Connell, Minshew, and Anthony Brown. If they pass on a QB what is their prospects of succeeding? You get a Penix who I think is more likely that is a perfect fit for how they run their offense.
I think BBI wants a QB to fall to round two or late round 1 so they can take MHj/Nabers and then get a QB later, but it most likely won't happen.
Great pick and great fit for him. I thought about it but Saints really need a LT.
I think Fautanu is very underrated... He is the best athlete of any OL in this draft... Reminds me a lot of Penei Sewell, who I took for CIN as well
So obviously the 7th pick was for Titans:
Sorry about that
