Again no chance to draft a decent S, OLB or TE (except S-J in round 2), but at least in this draft I had a much better balanced choice of prospects. I'm not wild about the 3rd round pick, but he was the BPA and to get someone useful, I'd have had to reach down 40-50 prospects. I'd love adding the first two picks, but am not wild abouit any of the rest. 18 WR MIKE EVANS TEXAS A&M 49 WR DAVANTE ADAMS FRESNO STATE 69 DE SCOTT CRICHTON OREGON STATE 80 CB LOUCHEIZ PURIFOY FLORIDA 111 G ANTHONY STEEN ALABAMA 142 RB JEREMY HILL LSU 179 OLB PRINCE SHEMBO NOTRE DAME 210 TE JAKE MURPHY UTAH

no trades in this one, and I think it turned out pretty good.

Some people might not like the Seastrunk pick, but was just trying to get another player who can get us in the endzone and I'd already picked a TE and two WR's.

Turner hurt my draft with his grade, but he's projected to go in rounds 3-5 so I figured it was a steal.
Again I didn't get my best score, but this one came out interesting. More defensive than I'd like at the top but I had no trade down options in the first and Ebron was gone so I went BPA.

Your score is: 3829 (Drafting Ability: A-, Player Quality A-, Future Draft Picks: C-) Your Picks: Round 1 Pick 11 (TENN): Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson (A) Round 2 Pick 17: Jace Amaro, TE, Texas Tech (A) Round 3 Pick 5: Kyle Van Noy, OLB, Brigham Young (A) Round 3 Pick 16: Davante Adams, WR, Fresno State (A) Round 4 Pick 15: Andre Williams, RB, Boston College (A) Round 6 Pick 19: Aaron Murray, QB, Georgia (A) Round 7 Pick 18: De'Anthony Thomas, RB, Oregon (B-) I really liked the way this draft ended up working out. Sammy Watkins was still available at Tennesses #11 pick. I traded the 2015 first rounder and TB's 3rd rounder to move up and grab him. Kid has serious skill and is what we need on the outside to help Geno succeed. The rest of the draft I went BPA and it turned out pretty nice. Let me know your thoughts… pretty sure a bunch of you are not going to be happy about trading a future first rounder but Watkins may be worth the price.
As much as I'd love to have Watkins on the Jets, trading an early 3rd round pick AND next year's 1st to move up 7 spots is criminally bad, imo. Watkins has all the athleticism, speed and explosion in the world, but let's not forget that almost 50% of his pass receptions were screen passes. He probably needs work on route running, and may not even have run all the different routes. He's a great prospect, but hardly worth 3 picks imo. Where's the 5th round pick? Was that included in the deal too, or did you use it to trade up elsewhere? I don't think the team needs to add 2 RBs in the draft, especially at the expense of adding no DBs or OL. With the exception of Murray, I love each of the players you drafted, and you got amazing value on many of them, but in real life no way Van Noy falls to the 3rd round, and I doubt Amaro falls to the mid-2nd. Also, how did you take Van Noy with the 5th pick of the 3rd round when you gave that pick away in the trade up for Watkins?

I did grab ASJ, AND Loston while at it. Attaochu was my usual OLB double-dip pick. [The only one they didn't like.] Aaron Murray was an insurance pick for QB competition. I didn't like the WR selection out of it - but that was about as good as I could get. FA signing should help here, I think.
I wouldn't be that happy with that draft. IMO WR is a MUCH more important position to address than TE. I don't see Breslin as a top OLB prospect, either. Richardson's a great run blocker, but not pass blocker. I think it would be a year at least before he'd be much help. I do like the DB picks, Abbrederis, Attaochu, and Van Der Kamp picks and Hill to some extent.
Your Picks: Round 2 Pick 2 (WASH): Jace Amaro, TE, Texas Tech (A-) Round 2 Pick 17: Jordan Matthews, WR, Vanderbilt (A-) Round 2 Pick 22 (PHI): David Yankey, OG, Stanford (A) Round 3 Pick 2 (WASH): Ahmad Dixon, SS, Baylor (A) Round 3 Pick 5: Davante Adams, WR, Fresno State (B+) Round 3 Pick 16: Dion Bailey, FS, Southern California (A-) Round 4 Pick 2 (WASH): Dee Ford, OLB, Auburn (A) Round 4 Pick 15: Jeremiah Attaochu, OLB, Georgia Tech (B+) Round 5 Pick 14: Jeremy Hill, RB, LSU (A) Round 6 Pick 19: Deion Belue, CB, Alabama (A) Round 7 Pick 18: Kirby Van Der Kamp, P, Iowa State (A) How about this?

Dee Ford saw a big jump after the Senior Bowl which was maybe a little inflated and he'll likely come down to earth a little bit (i.e. not a first round pick) but I doubt he's available in the 4th round. If so we'd be stupid not to take him.
