The Mock Draft Thread

CoachTO · 04-08-2012 8:58pm #1

Since it has been suggested and there is one on right now. Might as well throw up the new thread.

All Mock Draft related banter in here.

matthew8 · 04-08-2012 9:00pm

Well if Rodgers is picked 1 and Foster 2, 3 is my dream slot because of Ray Rice. I reckon Foster may slow down with the loss of Brisiel and Winston.

matthew8 · 04-08-2012 9:47pm

What do you think? My first mock this year, picking 3 overall:
Round 1: Ray Rice
Round 2: Brandon Marshall
Round 3: Frank Gore
Round 4: Antonio Gates
Round 5: Eli Manning
Round 6: Greg Little
Round 7: Nate Washington
Round 8: Doug Baldwin
Round 9: Mike Williams
Round 10: Kendall Hunter
Round 11: Bernard Pierce
Round 12: Christian Ponder
Round 13: Chiefs defense
Round 14: Lance Kendricks
Round 15: Ryan Succop

adrian522 · 04-08-2012 9:49pm

This is my team from tonight, not overly happy.

Picked from 10th I think and this is the order they were picked in, didn't bother with a kicker.

Matthew Stafford
Julio Jones
Ahmad Bradshaw
Stevan Ridley
Reggie Wayne
Donald Brown
Ben Tate
Santana Moss
Rueben Randle
Ryan Williams
Jermaine Gresham
Alshon Jeffery
David Nelson
Tim Tebow
Cincinnati Bengals

mikemac1 · 04-08-2012 9:51pm

Very similar to last night. I picked 8th

Jay Cutler 6
David Garrard 14

Ryan Matthews 1
Jamaal Charles 2
CJ Spiller 7
Daniel Thomas 10

Victor Cruz 3
Torrey Smith 5
Mario Manningham 8
Nate Burelson 9
Danny Amendola 11
Randall Cobb 13

Aaron Hernandez 4

New England D 12

Ryan Liddell 15

Like my RB corp
I don't like taking Cruz that high and I don't like Manningham but I took the top rated receiver

Missed out on Ryan Williams Cards RB again, he's rising up the rankings
adrian again snagged him! Why I oughta

adrian522 · 04-08-2012 9:53pm

Presume thats ryan matthews at 1?

If your goal was to handcuff Rice, the backup job is going to Anthony Allen

GoldFour4 · 04-08-2012 9:57pm

Right so heres my team from picking 12th

QB : Cam Newton (1-12)
Andrew Luck (7-108)

RB : Demarco Murray (2-21)
Beanie Wells (3-44)
Michael Bush (9-140)
Delone Carter (13-204)

WR : Vincent Jackson (4-53)
Darius Haywerd Bay (6-85)
Kendall Wright (8-117)
Brandon Lafell (10-149)
Mohammed Sanu (12-181)

TE : Jermichael Finley (6-85)
Greg Olsen (11-172)

DEF: Carolina (14-213)

K : Randy Bullock (15-236)

Happy enough with it. Only picked the panthers d cause their my fave team. I'll be swapping around according to matchups every week

Actually surprised with the kicker for the Texans who are usually a high scoring team.

Thought it was shocking that guys were selecting defenses in the ninth round !
Thoughts everyone ?

adrian522 · 04-08-2012 9:59pm

Gresham is my only TE so he'll start. Bit of a risk taking stafford first but most of the elite guys had gone by then.

I'd be happy enough with Bradshaw and Ridley as starters.

Matthew, nice team but I'm not sure about gore that early, he'll lose a lot of touches this year and is not being used as much in the passing game.

EDit: Malachy, I like your team too except for Beanie wells who could lose the starting job to williams this year.

Charles is a big reach in the second round if you ask me, he's recovering from a severe injury and the Chiefs are going to be taking their time with his rehab, they signed Peyton Hillis too

Well that would be the only goal. If Allen was the announced backup for week 1 I'd drop Pierce for him, he should be a FA. The Gore pick was because my next pick was 62, and there would be no one good left and I consider him a fairly safe option.

A_Sober_Paddy · 04-08-2012 10:04pm

Happy Enough with my draft tonight...

6rd Big Ben
9rd Andy Dalton

3rd Michael Turner
4rd Shaun Greene
8rd Pierre Thomas
10rd LaG Blount

1rd Andre Johnson
2rd Greg Jennings
7rd Sidney Rice
12rd Brian Quick
14rd Dexter McCluster

5rd Vernon Davis
11rd Tony Moeaki

13rd Nate Kating

15rd Washington Def

Not entirely happy with the depth at WR & RB...maybe should have drafted a RB or WR instead of Big Ben in round 6

+1

By any reports I've seen with a good pre-season or within first few weeks of the regular season Ryan Williams will be starter.
Cards are not happy with Wells

matthew8 · 04-08-2012 10:07pm

I would have faith in Charles, he didn't get too many touches when he had his great 2010 year.

adrian522 · 04-08-2012 10:07pm

A few risky picks there A_Sober_Paddy?

Blount may lose the starting job, Rice and Johnson are injury risks and I think Turner may struggle this year...

Thanks, I haven't been following the Cards closely at all !

Blount was a panic pick, my board was in tatters. But in saying that I reckon he'll be my 4 choice RB.

With regards injury risks, the closer to season's start hopefully we'll have a better idea of the fitness of those players.

My team in this draft was twice that of any of my FF teams last season

Round 6: Greg Little

This guy!

Had him last year

Getting wide open and drop, drop, drop

Should improve but I'll never trust him again

Jermaine Gresham

Great value pick

adrian522 · 04-08-2012 10:18pm

I think if you miss out on the top 2 Te's you may as well wait till the later rounds

GoldFour4 · 04-08-2012 10:21pm

Just after joining a few leagues for the craic that are drafting tonight, one is a 20 teamer :O

GoldFour4 · 04-08-2012 10:23pm

I picked up Finley in rd 5 I think. I could have left it later really. My decision at the time was between him and Fleener and I could have gone either way. Fleener was still around for a good while.

adrian522 · 04-08-2012 10:24pm

Gates could be good too, should be available in the middle rounds

matthew8 · 04-08-2012 10:27pm

adrian522 wrote: »

Yeah I took Gates, Eric Weddle thinks he's healthy and even though my memory of him last year was constant injuries he still got nearly 800 yards. Got to have insurance though, and Kendricks could bring that with the return of the Rams offense.

adrian522 · 04-08-2012 10:31pm

Think the real draft will be much tougher, a lot of autopicks tonight

GoldFour4 · 04-08-2012 10:34pm

right lads, I have the no.1 pick, should I go with Foster or A Rod ?

I'm spending too much time in baseball forum
I saw A Rod and thought WTF?? He's out for 6-8 weeks with a broken hand

Actually, it's you and me this week malachy!

adrian522 · 04-08-2012 10:43pm

I'd go Rodgers personally, but can see logic in both.

I'm pretty much given up on the baseball at this stage :P I'll have to actually out some effort into my draft rather then just picking guys who had good stats last year in certain categories

GoldFour4 · 04-08-2012 10:45pm

Gonna go Rodgers just cause of Fosters injury last year..

PacFish · 05-08-2012 12:26am

QBs: RG3 (5-71), Schaub (6-90)
RBs: Lynch (2-26), Martin (3-39), Hightower (9-135), Hillman (11-167)
WRs: Megatron (1-7), Steve Johnson (4-58), Jon Baldwin (8-122), Randy Moss (10-154), Henderson (13-199)
TEs: Tamme (7-103), Dickson (12-186)
K: Scobee (15-231)
DST: Cardinals (14-218)

Worst team I've drafted in a while. QBs are solid with RG3 a candidate to go crazy.
Megatron and Steve Johnson are both top WRs then I've take gambles on the rest in the hope one pays off.
Tamme should see a decent amount of the ball while Dickson looked good last year.
My RBs are awful.
