BBI Mock Draft – DISCUSSION Thread

Matt G : 4/1/2018 10:46 pm
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.

I'm heading into a meeting from 330 to 530 and then heading home... Great progress today... Let's keep it rolling and finish strong!

I will be back online tonight
Folorunso Fatukasi, DT, Connecticut is the selection  
MadPlaid : 4/16/2018 3:19 pm : link
Big dude who didn't reach his lofty potential in college. With Green Bay, he will be afforded the opportunity to tap into that potential without having the pressure to do so immediately. Put him into the rotation, season with experience and in a couple years another late round steal. High character player. Can play 5-technique or nose guard. The Pack love flexibility.
I'm surprised I was able to get three picks in today  
MadPlaid : 4/16/2018 3:29 pm : link
I was expecting 2 tops. It is very nice when we have a speedy day.
Pretty happy about the Broncos drafted  
jlukes : 4/16/2018 3:44 pm : link
didn't force a QB in the mid rounds

1 - Quenton Nelson, G
2 - Hayden Hurst, TE
3 - Kemoko Turay, Edge
3 - MJ Stewart, CB
4 - DaeSean Hamilton, WR
4 - Joseph Noteboom, OT
5 - Derrick NNadi, DT
5 - Martez Carter, RB
5 - Dane Cruikshank, S
6 - Charvarius Ward, CB
I have a pick ready to go  
Mike in NY : 4/16/2018 4:05 pm : link
If Washington does not take my player

May be worth doing a call out thread so SYS does not accidentally think a pick was made because New Orleans selected out of turn

Okay. SirYesSir is active on the site. A friendly call out.

You are up
hopefully Armstead is on also  
Amtoft : 4/16/2018 5:17 pm : link
We can get through 3 picks quickly maybe.
Ravens pick is in  
Mike in NY : 4/16/2018 5:32 pm : link
Sorry, was on a conference call so I could not pick earlier. Cichy is a gamble because of his injury history, but had he played a full season this year I do not think I come anywhere close to being able to draft him at #190 overall. I was a bit concerned that Jon would take him with the Jets, so I was happy that he went with Jacobs

Damn he was on my short list to draft this round. He looked to be like a real player before his injuries. I think he is going to be a very good pro if he can stay healthy

What would a BBI Mock Draft be without me taking at least one of your targets?

Yeah it is getting old! hahahaha
not sure when Armstead is going to pick...  
Amtoft : 4/16/2018 8:08 pm : link
I am going to leave a two player board right here since I am only taking one RB anyways and he already has taken a RB... So with that to keep the draft moving.. Here is my two player board live on the discussion thread!

1. RB Ito Smith from Southern Miss
2. RB Chase Edmonds from Fordham
Redskins are satisfied with their picks...  
SirYesSir : 4/17/2018 10:01 am : link
Only 5 picks total, Skins didn't have any picks added on at the end of the late rounds like most teams

(1) DE Marcus Davenport, USTA
(2) TE Dallas Goedert, S. Dakota St
(4) OG Wyatt Teller, Virginia Tech
(5) FS DeShon Elliot, Texas
(6) WR Javon Wims, Georgia

I think they'd be ok with that group
Hi guys  
Optimus-NY : 4/17/2018 10:13 am : link
I'm following things from halfway across the world. It's 6:05 pm here where I am in the UAE. I just wanted to say that even though I'm not posting that much with you all on the Discussion thread, that I'm still following everything that's going on. I'm 8 hours ahead of y'all, so things get hairy for me when it's around 4 pm back home in NY (it's midnight here at that point due to my being 8 hours ahead).

I just wanted to say everyone is doing a great job, and it's really fun to follow this. I've got one more pick to go for the Fish in our 6-round mock draft. My last pick for Miami is #209 overall, which is 19 picks from now being that we've finished 190. I've zeroed in on my guy and I hope he's still there when I pick next and lastly, but in the even he isn't I'll go ahead and put a board together once I'm about 5 picks away or if it's close to my bedtime here.

So far I'm happy with what I've got. I wanted Vita Vea in Round 1 but was awarded the CB Denzel Ward instead. He was my 2nd choice for that pick, so I'm still happy. I got B.J. Ward in the 3rd, the DT from N.C. State's superb D-Line, so he made me happy. I'll review them all once I'm officially done. Keep up the great work everyone and let's enjoy the last round.
LAC pick is coming shortly  
Matt G : 4/17/2018 10:15 am : link
.
Chargers pick expires in about 20 minutes  
Mike in NY : 4/17/2018 10:16 am : link
The highest name on the board is a PK. Not sure if everyone was comfortable including that in the autodraft although their current options are Caleb Sturgis and Roberto Aguayo. If we were to skip that, the next name on the list since they have already taken a RB is Chase Litton, QB, Marshall who also makes sense for the Chargers.

Strongly considered him in RD5
Let's give a few mins...  
Matt G : 4/17/2018 10:32 am : link
He checked in and said the pick was coming... I accidentally told him he had till 11am vs 10:29am...
Can we get an updated draft order

I would highly recommend using the BBI Mock spreadsheet (linked in my original post at top of this thread)... Unfortunately, I won't have a chance to update the thread until later this afternoon (at the earliest)...
Pick will be Chase Litton, QB, Marshall  
Matt G : 4/17/2018 10:58 am : link
Unless he posts by 11am...

Pittsburgh has no other picks in Round 6 as they traded it to Tampa Bay in real life. Round 6 is the final round of the mock draft, but after it is completed, on a first come first served basis you can select up to 5 "UDFA's"
Cowboys select Colby Gossett  
Rick in Dallas : 4/17/2018 12:24 pm : link
Good value in round 6 will add depth to guard position on Cowboys.
My UDFA guy is still hanging around.  
Andy in Halifax : 4/17/2018 12:27 pm : link
I was disappointed i didn't have a 6th as I think he is a decent player but maybe I get lucky and he lasts to the end of the draft.
Los Angeles Rams  
Mike in NY : 4/17/2018 12:52 pm : link
They are usually pretty good, but since they have back to back picks I have no problem waiting until 3:29 (when the second pick expires) before we autopick

L.A. has made their selections.
Or MadPlaid can pick for Los Angeles!  
Mike in NY : 4/17/2018 12:54 pm : link
I am not sure they would take a PK in real life with Legatron still on the roster

Yeah, the instructions were the two highest players on the board. Perhaps, I should have queried other GM's on what would make sense.
No kicker for them if they have Legatron  
Optimus-NY : 4/17/2018 1:07 pm : link
Gotta use common sense in that case.
We've got time  
MadPlaid : 4/17/2018 1:09 pm : link
I can undo it. The next highest is Jordan Thomas, TE. Would he be okay?

Thomas would be cool.

Kansas City has 40 minutes or so  
Mike in NY : 4/17/2018 2:44 pm : link
Since their time is up at 3:21 PM. The PK really do not make any sense. Next name on the list after them is Virginia QB Kurt Benkert. I actually could see that as they could use depth behind Mahomes and Andy Reid is from the Ron Wolf school of taking QB's late if they are better than any of the QB's on the roster.
My threat of an autopick  
Mike in NY : 4/17/2018 3:00 pm : link
Works again!
Way to keep em honest, Mike!

Matt has let me know who Fatman wants, so I will post that in just a moment.
Matt hasn't provided me with any new information for BigBlue TT  
MadPlaid : 4/17/2018 3:11 pm : link
The last time we were here, he basically said take the two highest listed on the big board. Well, I suppose we should do the same here and not wait. Place Kicker then? Kidding. Would Kurt Benkert, QB, make sense here?

No they took Barrett already so I would go to Apke
That makes sense  
MadPlaid : 4/17/2018 3:14 pm : link
So do think it would be okay to just go ahead and post the pick? No waiting?
I would give a little time  
Mike in NY : 4/17/2018 3:19 pm : link
I mean as long as the pick is in by 4 that means the next person has to pick before we go off the clock tonight so you can wait until 3:30/3:45 and see if BigBlueTT posts

Okay
For a 6th round pick, I really like Javon Wims  
Andy in Halifax : 4/18/2018 7:44 am : link
Only from watching an occasional Georgia game, but he always seemed to stick out a bit. He's also 6'4" 215 so worth a shot in 6, no question.

That was a nice pick by Washington.
Atlanta's time has technically expired  
Mike in NY : 4/18/2018 9:17 am : link
With Matt Bryant still going strong do they take a K, or do we skip to the next name (Benkert)?
Let's take the QB  
Matt G : 4/18/2018 9:19 am : link

So much for the power of the call out thread  
MadPlaid : 4/18/2018 9:27 am : link
.
New Orleans time is almost up  
MadPlaid : 4/18/2018 11:07 am : link
Call out thread is not catching Saos1n's attention. Does a PK make sense for the Saints or an OG?
Their K is Wil Lutz  
Mike in NY : 4/18/2018 11:17 am : link
I can't definitively say that they would not pass up a K
A kicker doesn't make sense with Lutz on the roster  
MadPlaid : 4/18/2018 11:18 am : link
Saints did pick up a OG earlier, but it isn't out of the realm of possibility that they would take another. All teams need extra bodies for the OL. The next available player is a QB. That may make more sense considering Bree's age.
