    Cant do anything with less than half hour to go as that involves resetting the draft time back an hour. Can put you in tomorrow night

    16th overall. Interesting.

    I've had a good mix of positions in the 3 mocks I've done so far. 2nd, 8th and 16th :o

    My draft tonight, picking second overall. Not a place I want to pick in the real thing I've found out tonight.

    Round 1: Ray Rice
    Round 2: Brandon Marshall
    Round 3: Victor Cruz
    Round 4: Jonathan Stewart
    Round 5: Antonio Gates
    Round 6: Matt Schaub
    Round 7: Nate Washington
    Round 8: Carson Palmer
    Round 9: Rashard Mendenhall
    Round 10: Emmanuel Sanders
    Round 11: Brandon LaFell
    Round 12: Chiefs defense
    Round 13: Alex Henery
    Round 14: Heath Miller

    Weak on the QB/RB front. Strong on the WR/TE front.

    Drafting 16th overall. Happy again, although this time I intentionally didn't draft a backup QB. Just no one I liked enough to waste a pick on.

    6(81). Jay Cutler

    1(16). Matt Forte
    2(17). Trent Richardson
    7(112). Michael Bush
    8(113). C.J. Spiller

    3(48). Brandon Lloyd
    4(49). Jeremy Maclin
    5(80). Denarius Moore
    10(145). Doug Baldwin
    11(176). Randall Cobb

    9(144). Jared Cook
    12(177). Kyle Rudolph

    13(208). Robbie Gould

    14(209). Minnesota Vikings

    I've had a good mix of positions in the 3 mocks I've done so far. 2nd, 8th and 16th :o

    I was 8th overall. Elite RB's and top 3 QB's were all gone, so I went with Ryan Matthews.

    Happy overall with the draft.

    I'm not 100% convinced you need a backup QB but with Vick you certainly do.

    This is my team anyway;

    Michael Vick (3rd)
    Jamaal Charles (2nd)
    Ryan Mathews (1st)
    Steve Johnson(4th)
    Reggie Wayne(5th)
    Titus Young (7th)
    Brandon Pettigrew(8th)
    Alex Smith(11th)
    Peyton Hillis (6th)
    Alshon Jeffery(12th)
    Mario Manningham(9th)
    Kendall Wright(10th)
    Rian Lindell(14)
    Cincinnati Bengals(13)

    Round 1: Ray Rice nice :cool:
    Round 2: Brandon Marshall nice, I think he would have been there in the 3rd
    Round 3: Victor Cruz tad high
    Round 4: Jonathan Stewart same, tad high
    Round 5: Antonio Gates had him last year, flattered to decieve
    Round 6: Matt Schaub daycent
    Round 7: Nate Washington
    Round 8: Carson Palmer tad high, but he was a top 10 QB for last 8 weeks of the year so I like him on the bench. I got in round 12 in a recent boards mock
    Round 9: Rashard Mendenhall
    Round 10: Emmanuel Sanders value! :cool:
    Round 11: Brandon LaFell
    Round 12: Chiefs defense
    Round 13: Alex Henery good a pick as any :)
    Round 14: Heath Miller no Jermaine Gresham?

    Weak on the QB/RB front. Strong on the WR/TE front.

    My 2c, you picked 2nd


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,849 ✭✭✭Spongey1975


    Drafted 5th tonight, not sure i want 5th in the real thing

    QBs - Tom Brady (1st) Andrew Luck (8th)
    RBs - Adrian Peterson (2nd) Stevan Ridley (4th) Ben Tate (6th) Toby Gerhart (7th)
    WRs - Dez Bryant (3rd) Robert Meachem (5th) Laurent Robinson (9th) Mike Williams (10th) James Jones (12th)
    TEs - Jermaine Gresham (11th)
    PK - Billy Cundiff (14th)
    DEF - Bills (13th)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    PK - Billy Cundiff (14th)

    Very, very likely he will lose his job to a UDFA Justin Tucker from Texas Longhorns

    I know it's just a mock and Cundiff has name recognition around the league (well as much as any kicker can) but have a glance in a few weeks, likely to be cut

    I hope so, tell me a bit about this Tucker guy. What's his range? It surely can't be worse than Cundiff's.

    For the purpose of this mock i took the highest rated defense and highest rated kicker that were left. I usually play the matchups each week with kickers and defenses

    Right who's in for tonight ? Hopefully we can get more then the last couple of nights now that its a weeknight :) It's hard to get any good out of a draft when you only have 4 or 5 in the draft :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,849 ✭✭✭Spongey1975


    For anyone wanting to draft tonight i have bad news. i dont know why but it wouldnt allow me to pick the 7th as the date for the draft so i couldnt set it for tonight. Its set for tomorrow night at 9pm now


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,093 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    I'll be there id say.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,093 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    Is there a mock tonight, seems to be set for tomorrow night...


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,169 ✭✭✭JohnnyRyan99


    No Mock tonight?

  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 4,951 Mod ✭✭✭✭GoldFour4

    Same here - Im the Blu York Giants


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,849 ✭✭✭Spongey1975


    1 missing team from the mock league. Needs to be filled if a mock is going to take place. I had booted A sober Paddy to make room for Blured and i think kev s88 removed his team so if either wants back in tonight a space is available

    Is the draft lobby open?


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,599 ✭✭✭matthew8


    ugh who was team 2?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,929 ✭✭✭JaMarcus Hustle


    No mock tonight, looks like it's set to offline draft because a team is missing.

    No mock tonight, looks like it's set to offline draft because a team is missing.

    Lads should just leave their team in their even if they cant make it. Only drop your team out if someone needs the spot.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,849 ✭✭✭Spongey1975


    Nobody filled Team 2 in time for the draft so it was postponed. Have it reset to 11 tonight for anyone that really wants to draft tonight, i'll have it back to 9pm tomorrow night. Thanks to adrian522 for giving me his second team to fill the spot but was out all evening and couldnt fill it until now


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,514 ✭✭✭BigBadRob83


    I'd be up for tonight if there's room
