We will use this as a discussion thread to keep the SELECTIONS thread uncluttered. These threads will be used for the duration of the entire draft.
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 (i.e.: Philadelphia Eagles 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.
Please 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.
‘Nak!!! Good to see you back around these parts. Hope all is well with you.
Yes, unless they wish to change teams to an open team or do not sign up again for the following draft
Don’t fuck this up
The Cowboys and Dez are supposed to meet soon to talk about his contract.
NFL best writers covering the Cowboys in Dallas think that Dez is going to get cut.
Very interesting. I doubt it will go that way in the actual draft, but that's what's great about our Mock. We can pick who we think is the best player whether it is the likely selection or not. Based solely on our judgement. Nice start.
but I'm here and will make my pick in a sec.
im predicting next 3 will be qbs
my guess
darnold
rosen
allen
chubb
nelson
TL/DR version: Good pick Lionheart. Well done.
I would have thought to get this ship righted, you make a strong stance on cementing the path by getting "your" guy for the future by taking the QB at one.
Let's see what they get at 4!
Sam Darnold, QB USC
Sam Darnold, QB USC
For the most part, I haven’t taken QBs with my first pick in these drafts and prefer value, having done pretty well with Carr and Watson in prior years.
Plus, with the acquisition of Taylor, the young passer doesn’t need to start day one which gives us some added flexibility.

Darnold isn't as good of a passer right now compared to the other two but I think that can be improved with coaching. His mobility, arm strength and leadership qualities make him an outstanding QB prospect but his development will be critical. I see a bust risk but I also see a chance of greatness.
Just curious...if you were allowed to trade after the CLE pick, would you have?
In real life, getting a franchise QB is so important I would have spent months collecting date and had a firm conclusion as to the best QB in the class and I would have stayed at #2 and picked him.
IRL, I think a trade-down is more likely, because the Giants seem to think Eli can rebound and give them two more good years. But that could be a smokescreen or just Plan 1A, with a quick transition to a rookie being Plan 1B.

Great analysis. And if you do not love any of the QB's, he's the no brainer. Barkley is so good and such a rare talent, he is going to shine. This could actually play out really well for CLE in this mock depending on what happens at 4. Could possibly get Allen and he could have been the guy you wanted out of the QB's. Especially Taylor giving him some breathing room to learn.
I prefer Rosen on tape by a good margin, but of course personality and injury concerns I can't answer

25 years since Cleveland has had a franchise QB. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS! And you take a RB. If Dorsey does that he'll be run out of town, I truly believe that. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS, I'll say it again, you cannot go any other direction than QB there if you're Cleveland. And the franchise QB they had was just Bernie Kosar. Come on, dude. Cleveland fans would be egging your car as you leave the stadium!

Barkley is in another tier than any of them and will be such a big help to whatever young qb we acquire that we couldn’t pass. He’s a great kid, a tireless worker and oh yeah a physical freak. He makes our offense better day one.

Unfortunately for them, my track record as their fake GM has been better than their actual track record. Also, a QB doesn't have to be the first overall pick to be a franchise guy. They had 3 first round picks last year and didn't take a QB with a single one of them and survived, I think I'll be okay.
You sir are crazy.
No trades in the mock draft.
Jon was probably trying to figure out how to announce it like Pete Rozelle during the 1983 Draft!

If the Giants select Darnold I predict Webb will clearly beat him out and it will leave the Giants with a mess. There will pressure to elevate Darnold anyway because he is a #2 pick. Webb is more accurate, especially deep, and takes better care of the football. IMO opinion, only Rosen or Mayfield beat out Webb in a QB competition.
