We will use this as a discussion thread to keep the picks thread uncluttered. These threads will be used for the duration of the 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. Kansas City 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 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… Good luck!
I would have considered Marlon Davidson, Curtis Weaver, Terrell Lewis or Josh Uche.
Maybe at the end of the third round in this draft Biadasz or Hennessy will be available.
Some DB's may have been in the mix too between Gladley, Winfield, Jaylon Johnson, possibly even Ashtyn Davis.
If I felt strongly about 1 of the OL though that's the direction I'd have most likely gone.
I like Cleveland... I was hoping that would have been the way Andy went, but he was like you know what the Giants truly need... Tavon Austin!
Me too. I actually think Winfield is the top S in this year’s draft. Had he fallen to me at 55 I feel like I would have had to pull the trigger even though Ravens don’t really need a FS
I've watched him quite a few times and he is just always around the ball. His 40 at the combine also put to rest an concerns about his speed. Cleveland signed Sendejo and Karl Joseph to 1-year deals but need some youth and talent in the back 7. Not only is this kid a playmaker, but he's a culture guy too, a real leader back there.
Damn. That's the guy I was targeting.
This is why the Giants are taking an OT in Round 1.
Well damn I thot Gladney would be a steal for me in the 3rd! He just isn’t talked about much but he is a really good cover corner. Great pick and that sucks he didn’t make it to me and sounds like he wouldn’t of even come close to the 3rd round

Ab-so-fuckin-lutely
This mock is a perfect example of why you cannot ignore positional need, even in early rounds.

Cleveland is a high second rounder all day. Of
Course Andy passed on him but he is legit.

I agree on Niang. There seems to be a split on Cleveland. Some consider him a high 2nd Rounder and others more of late 3rd Round/Day 3. After the top tier of OT’s, Cleveland is the one player with the feet to play LT. The problem is his arm length is shorter than ideal and he really doesn’t play with enough power that can make you think he can move to another OL position if he can’t handle LT.
Not a good draft to get OL taken care of where we sit. DG will have to maneuver around imo. But it's easy, drop back a few spots in 1. Then it plays out just fine.
Also... Amtoft, you are out to lunch comparing Reagor to Tavon Austin. Austin was 5'9 174 while Reagor is 5'11 205. They aren't even close to comparable. A similar athlete for size and athleticism from the combine would actually be OBJ. But Reagor tested slightly better and was slightly bigger. ;)

Not only are they reaches, I think better OL are being passed up
Taylor if nothing else will be the best backup RB in football next year and will probably take the reigns in 2021.

Excellent cover corner who has the right mentality to be a shutdown CB even though he’s a bit undersized. Jags need a ton of help in the secondary and Gladney should help out from day 1.

I think most teams will have him slotted in the 2nd round but fro what I’ve read he could easily sneak into the end of the first round or because of his size he can be seen as a 3rd rounder.
Regardless, guys a competitor and I think he’ll be in the league for a long time.

Thanks! Even though I didn’t want to take a RB in Round 2 considering the Ravens have more holes than you would think based on their record last year, Taylor would have been by far BPA at 55

Neither of those guys are 3rd rounders. You will be surprised when they go early to mid 2nd round. It reminds me of last year when people said that Tytus Howard would go in the 3rd round and he ended up going 23rd overall.

Guys like Cleveland and Niang are 3rd rounders and you're plucking them at #40.

Hopefully teams learned from that that you should not be overdrafting OL
I feel like I always draft dline men for Pitt lol.
Reply to this message to let me know.
Give me a couple of minutes.
Davidson can play outside or inside.
He plays a violent game and has a terrific bull rush.
Surprised he was still available at number 51.
I will take that best all day... He was 1st team MWC his soph and Jr year even though he played last year with turf toe. He will easily be a second rounder and he didn't just run, but also put up 30 reps on the bench. No way he falls to pick 90.

I said slightly thicker and not as fast. You take Tavon Austin and make him slightly thicker and slow him down and boom you have Reagor. He is a slot WR that needs to be used like a Tavon Austin. Really think that is what we need in our offense?
OBJ? Come on bro
That could explain it. He also could be out to lunch.

Is Chris in Philly drawing artwork of his next pick?

We know that Chris is out to lunch :)
Nice pick guys. Good value for Kmet for sure.
