Draft Simulator - 2015

Not as much love from the site but I love this one. Both QB's were gone at 6 so it was trade down every chance i got targetting 2nd or 3rd round picks. QB will just have to be a free agent or geno for another year.

O-line over hauled, secondary beefed up, stud LB and WR added

I do love how many trade options are open and how wildly unrealistic it is - its a bit like playing the movie Draft Day.

 

Three drafts without trades I'd be pretty happy with:
Round 1 Pick 6: Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon
Round 2 Pick 5: Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, Oklahoma
Round 3 Pick 6: Ronald Darby, CB, Florida State
Round 4 Pick 5: Daryl Williams, OT, Oklahoma
Round 5 Pick 6: Devin Smith, WR, Ohio State
Round 7 Pick 6: J.R. Tavai, OLB, Southern California

Round 1 Pick 6: Shane Ray, OLB, Missouri
Round 2 Pick 5: Melvin Gordon, RB, Wisconsin
Round 3 Pick 6: Tre Jackson, OG, FSU
Round 4 Pick 5: Bryce Petty, QB, Baylor
Round 5 Pick 6: E.J. Bibbs, TE, Iowa St.
Round 7 Pick 5; Jamison Crowder, WR, Duke

Round 1 Pick 6: Angus Peat, OT, Stanford
Round 2 Pick 5: Eric Kendricks, ILB, UCLA
Round 3 Pick 6: Ameer Abdullah, RB, Nebraska
Round 4 Pick 5: Tyler Lockett, WR, Kansas St
Round 5 Pick 6: E.J. Bibbs, TE, Iowa St.
Round 7 Pick 5; Josh Shaw, CB, USC

With trades:
Round 1 Pick 12 (CLE): Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama
Round 1 Pick 19 (CLE): La'el Collins, OT, LSU
Round 2 Pick 5: Marcus Peters, CB, Washington
Round 3 Pick 7 (CHI): Ameer Abdullah, RB, Nebraska
Round 3 Pick 25 (CAR): Bryce Petty, QB, Baylor
Round 4 Pick 8: Kurtis Drummond, FS, Michigan St
Round 5 Pick 7 (DEN): E.J. Bibbs, TE, Iowa St.
Round 5 Pick 1o (ATL): Justin Hicks, OLB, Texas
Round 7 Pick 5; Jamison Crowder, WR, Duke

 

Nice picks but I'd take the lineman instead of the corner in 3 instead.

 

Green-Beckham is going to be such an interesting player to watch through the draft process - he could go almost anywhere.

 

Exactly. Have his character issues been resolved satisfactorily? If not, that could cause him to drop, or could cause some teams to remove him from their big board. He has tons of talent, but what's his work ethic like? Would the Jets even consider him?

 

Here's a draft I would like a lot, but the site doesn't think much of it. I think their grading system sucks. They don't know Jets' needs or players who would fit our systems. I think giving a score of upper 5000s or even 6000s to a draft that takes a C, DT, or DE is absolute BS. BPA only goes so far if the team has no needs at those positions and the players would just sit on the bench, especially when they are high draft picks and the team has lots of needs.

Your score is: 4717 (GRADE: B+)

Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 11 (MINN): Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama (A)
Round 2 Pick 5: A.J. Cann, OG, South Carolina (A-)
Round 2 Pick 13 (MINN): Jeremiah Poutasi, OT, Utah (B)
Round 3 Pick 6: Gerod Holliman, FS, Louisville (B)
Round 3 Pick 12 (MINN): Bryce Petty, QB, Baylor (B)
Round 4 Pick 5: Ramik Wilson, ILB, Georgia (B)
Round 5 Pick 6: Tony Washington, OLB, Oregon (A-)
Round 7 Pick 6: Josh Shaw, CB, Southern California (A)

 

With all his red flags I could honestly see him going undrafted if he has even the slightest hiccup in the interview process.

 

Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 19 (CLE): Landon Collins, SS, Alabama (A)
Round 2 Pick 5: Jaelen Strong, WR, Arizona State (A-)

Round 4 Pick 5: Gabe Wright, DT, Auburn (C+)
Round 5 Pick 6: B.J. Finney, C, Kansas State (B)
Round 7 Pick 6: Bernard Blake, CB, Colorado State (C+)

Your Future Picks:

 

Your score got dinged from taking too many players instead of trading back up.

It is known as the Idzick rule.

 

Yeah, I just wanted to do a fun one without regarding score on that one.

If I had the programming skills I'd set up a similar site where you play out full GM for the off season. Sign and release players, trade players for other players and or draft picks, etc. But I don't have the programing skills and when it comes to actual NFL players and teams there are licensing issues so it's probably just as well I don't have the skills.

So far I've only managed to break 6k once.

 

I have about seven scores above 5,900 but 6,000 is the glass ceiling for me.

 

The Draft I broke 6k was done a month or 3 ago and no longer would score the above 6k since the player rankings have changed.


Your score is: 6025 (GRADE: A)

Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 23 (SEA): Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia (A)
Round 2 Pick 4: La'el Collins, OT, LSU (A)

Round 3 Pick 23 (SEA): Cam Thomas, CB, Western Kentucky (B+)
Round 4 Pick 4: Andy Gallik, C, Boston College (A)

Round 7 Pick 4: Sean Mannion, QB, Oregon State (A)

Your Future Picks:
2015 Round 1 Pick
2015 Round 1 Pick (SEA)
2016 Round 1 Pick

 

The key to getting above 6k is to get at least one future pick and get lucky in catching a few players who have dropped further than they normally do.

 

Dang, even though I wound up with too many picks I thought my score on this draft would be at least 5300. I got some nice fallers in it.

Well, dang. When I was in this draft I thought I'd get a much higher score. I should have done better with my 2nd pick of the first round and I really bombed the last 2 picks.
Not to shabby for only 3 trade downs, once with the bears for their 1,2,3 and 4th and once with Cleveland for both their first round picks and a 2016 first round pick.

It's been awhile since I've broke 5500 on a draft and well, I also love the hell out of this draft. (though admittedly I had a choice of Ifo or PJ and I do like Ifo but P.J. is rated for day 1 and I was going for score). No way in hell Amari drops to 20, but in a way this does kind of simulate the type of drat pick haul that could be expected for trading down to the Eagles slot for them to take Mariotta.

I'd be totally fine with this draft, really, totally, absolutely....I know it's a total fantasy, but a guy can fantasize...pretty sad that at this point in life that's my fantasy eh? lol.
