Strictly entertainment value, as the algorithm doesn't really hold true to reality.  I enjoy it to kill time and see what's out there, but end up drafting guys with 1st round values in the 3rd round, etc. Definitely fun to check out though.... just keep expectations in check.  Haha.

Yeah for the most part the guys I drafted were around where everyone has them projected.

DT's are stacked deep so easily see Johnson being there in the 2nd, Cooper is a guy they are projecting late 3rd to 4th similar to the kid out of Duke last year. Xavier is super talented but everyone said he left to early and those guys tend to fall down  the boards.  There was a DE from LSU last year, our very own Trai Turner was one.

Fun time killer. I only use CBS or draftrek, big fan of each.

If you feel player X will not be there when you pick, don't pick them in efforts for a more realistic outcome. I do it all the time in the first.

Plus right row I only go 5 rounds, that may change if the boys get a comp pick.

 

Plus if you use the back arrow on your browser, go back 5\6 pages back. u don't have to go though picking teams, rounds, and list.

 

Lastly if you don't like the players listed once you have to pick, hit refresh.....

I've done a few for fun but this was the first one I spent time researching players.

1. Kevin Dodd, DE Clemson, prototypical 4-3 DE who was productive in college

2. Jayron Kearse, S, Clemson, can't coach 6'4" 220, arm length of a left tackle, aggressive & physical

3. Avery Young, T, Auburn, a house at 6'6" 315, 2nd Team All SEC and interestingly enough, Thomas Davis' cousin

4. Deiondre' Hall, CB, Northern Iowa, 6'2" 192, his draft write-up reads a lot like Josh Norman's, good size, not afraid to tackle

5. Harlan Miller, CB, 6'0" 182, yes a double dip, another aggressive player with quick feet, needs to add some weight

 

This would set-up are secondary very nicely, for the future. I didn't draft the 7th round but hopefully Gettleman could find a nice DT, there.

I did a 3 round mock just for shits and giggles, got Dodd, Hunter Henry, and William Jackson III (a CB I've never heard of, but he was the top rated one available).

Jackson will go in the first round.

Every day since last May, I've run 10 to 15 mocks on Fanspeak...probably the most in the nation.  Today they added Walter Football and NFL Draft Geek to the options of rankings to choose from.  The Fanspeak list is updated every Tuesday.

I find it gives me the best choices for what I consider team needs.  No composite yet, but from doing this daily for 10 months, I can tell you that the composite will show this to be a deep draft for DT, WR, and CB.   After the second round, DE's are hard to find.  OT is a position you need to take when you can, because there just aren't a lot of them.  I've done some mocks that made me very happy, and many where I chose the BPA at position of need...and wasn't wild with the results.  All that said, Getty will surprise everyone by doing what's best for the team.

I've never heard of Fanspeak before today, nor have I ever played around with doing a mock draft before.  I've just killed about 3 hours today doing 5 round drafts using all 6 boards.  Fascinating stuff. 

I pretty much totally ignored QBs and LBs (except pass rushing OLBs / DEs)

Looks to me like we have a good shot at getting solid DTs, TEs, C/G, RBs (and WRs) in the draft,   For sure, there are some excellent DEs and CBs and some OTs, that MIGHT fall to us, but for all 3 of these positions where we really need some help, the draft is a bit iffy as to who will be there when we pick (unless Getts is willing to move up to snag a guy).  In the 6 drafts I did, I didn't have a lot of luck getting good players at these 3 positions.  I think we need some free agent help at all 3 of these positions.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
