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!
Also wanted to add... Jaylen Wright is my favorite RB in the draft. I loved watching him for Tennessee.
Quote:
I mean are you still dealing with family issue... I don't want to be mean man, but we needed a top WR who has a chance to be a #1 and DT. You got a slow Safety and an injured RB. I mean I like Brooks don't get me wrong. I think he would have been a 2nd rounder if he didn't tear his ACL late. I think he has great potential, but we don't have the luxury in the way you are drafting. A backup or part time RB when we needed a starting DT and Maason Smith is sitting right there. I just don't get it.
Hey, quit picking on me, ya big doodie head! Kidding.
No, I appreciate the criticism. I want to know if you think I'm making a mistake. I am trying to learn as I go. I took a bit of a gamble there with the 3rd round pick. I had my eyes on a WR who I thought could fall to me in the 4th round. Polk. I liked what I read about him a lot. Sounded like one of those under the radar players who prove to be great. I lost. He wasn't under the radar enough. LOL
I liked what I read about Maason Smith, I just liked Brooks more. He is part of the gamble. If he recovers fully, we have a heck of a playmaker to take Saquon's spot in the committee.
You know the funny thing... I was trying to be nice hahaha. I understand your drafting... We need a Safety, we need a RB, we need a QB... Can you really not hit a position we need with draft picks. We need a CB, We need a DT, we need a WR, we need another OL, we need we need we need.
Matt, you have Houston’s pick wrong and not sure if Cleveland wanted Wilson or Walker before we move on
The Wilson pick was immediately after Walker so I think it would be good to find out who Cleveland wants.
Good to go Rick... Apologies
Cowboys do a good job coaching up OL.
Going to take a long Siesta guys as my next pick is in 5th round at number 174.
Matt great job once again my friend.
Take it easy on Madplaid
By the way, one of the things I believe in is you do not pick for need alone. You must find talent and you use need to help break a tie. I am trying to find talent regardless if we are particularly weak in any specific place. That's why I selected a Safety with one of the two first rounders we had a couple years ago instead of an Olineman. He's now a star player for the Ravens. Why I went Oline in the first round last year when we apparently had bookends already in place. He is now a starter for the Steelers.
Grab the talent first, worry where they fit later.
Yeah, the safety this year was probably not the best move on my part. Although there are analysts who think he's got 1st round talent. However, I am happy with the RB. I'm gambling I nabbed a talent that if he hadn't been hurt would have been a first round draft pick. And, I got him in the 3rd. Although, that gamble was partly made because I thought I could get away with waiting to select a talented under the radar WR later. That didn't work out the way I hoped.

You don't need to apologize for anything. We appreciate you so much.

I hear you... however by the time you pick DT or WR the talent is gone. Safety and RB there is still talent with the same level as who we got is all. It is working the draft where the talent is heaviest. WR is round 1-2 loaded, but so many will be gone that round 3 is getting slim and probably won't have even a good WR2 in the remaining group. Taking a WR now would almost be a waste. Will that person be any better than Slayton, Hyatt, and Robinson? No so we missed WR this year while we could have got a safety in round 4 that could break into Pinnock and Belton. Same with RB there are some later that can back up Singletary or share with him. DT the list is small now who is good with this year starter material and it drops off. That is all my point is. The draft isn't 7 rounds deep at all postions. In fact Safety has light to no 1-2 round talent, but not bad 3-5 round talent. DT has 2nd to early 3rd round talent and then drops.
Very cool.

Also wanted to add... Jaylen Wright is my favorite RB in the draft. I loved watching him for Tennessee.
I was very happy he was still available at my pick. RB was not a big need for Houston but pairing another young offensive talent after going Def, Def, the previous two picks was pretty important, (to me at least)
Wright to me not only has perfect RB size but that speed and explosiveness can not be ignored.
You took both my picks right in front of me in RD 1-2... I was planning to take Verse and Melton... And I only got a reprieve on my last pick because JAX traded out! lol
No worries... Thanks for getting it in!

I guess with Hall it's that he is undersized at 290lbs but he's also just 20yo so you would think 10-15lbs isn't out of the question... And he's just a really tough experienced player coming out of OSU...
And then with Taylor, he had a bit of a down season and there are questions around him not playing to the whistle... But he has great quickness off the snap for a man his size... Also, keep in mind that last year they started playing him at 0-technique for most of his snaps... He is much better suited at 3T... He is relatively young (21) and has a lot of talent for a DL coach to work with...
Both seem like nice upside picks at this point in the draft
BTW I’m in NY not west coast.
I try! :)
Pivot to Smith. A guy with all the upside, physical attributes and athleticism but raw.
Smith and Hall were both high on GBN board although Hall represented too much value to pass up. At pick 93 can gamble on his potential.
Pivot to Smith. A guy with all the upside, physical attributes and athleticism but raw.
Maason Smith will go higher than this. He is was 100% he was not good he was great. He dominated. I hope the Giants get him in the 3rd if he makes it. Most of this years DT are in the 290 range and Maason Smith is the one with good size at over 300. Great pick.
I also like Michael Hall who is in my 3rd round DT hope for the Giants.

There was another player the Commies could really use as well, had a hard decision here, but we'll take a guy that might be a long-term starter
