Loved this thread last year, great opportunity for everyone to watch loads of tape and study teams that they wouldnt normally look at during the season. Leads to lots of discussion about what you see that maybe isnt clear to others. Cant wait for the thread to get going now!

Thanks for setting this up Higgins, good job.

Rams and Lions for me.

I got the Rams last year as my second round team and gave them Jamie Collins who in real life is obviously with the Patriots. The interesting thing about my pick for them this year is that it's going to be greatly effected by what Innis Rebel decides to do at #2. I already have a few players in mind though.

I know very little about the Lions draft needs so as Frostie has said above it will be a good opportunity to watch some more tape and study their needs.

Looking forward to it now

Thanks - no pressure then!!!

Once the teams were put out I suddenly realized how difficult the 2nd round is. I haven't a clue about the redskins, but sure that's the fun of this...

Pudsy33

The Bills in both rounds. Buffalo are one of the few teams in the league I haven't a flying **** about, so better start researchimg.

Alfred Borden

I did three separate mock drafts last year and i got the Vikings each time and who do i get here? The Vikings :pac: definitely should know about them for this draft

Leslie91

Is this to start today lads???, itchy trigger finger here..........

HigginsJ

Alfred Borden

Right have my big board drawn up for the Vikings, so ready to start.

Would it make sense to STICKY the actual thread, would it help, ie. instead of having to go look for it ?!

............and Leslie91 must have used his itcy trigger happy finger somewhere else :pac:

Chucky the tree

I find I read stickies less often then other threads. It's not like the thread will every end up of the first page either.

adrian522

Not off to a great start here.

Innish_Rebel

Is there a complicated trade going on in the background or something???

With an itchy trigger finger like this it's a good thing leslie91 wasn't around in the Wild West!!

Leslie91

Sorry lads....... pick is in. Had family trouble last night!!! will get some reasoning in ASAP.

Oh and PM sent to Innish Rebel.

Clowney dropping to 3. Can you imagine the trade offers the Jags are receiving IRL if this happens?

I know in reality I don't see Rams picking @ 2 I think they have such a strong pick with the RGIII trade that they will look to trade down and if Clowney is there @ 2 they will have loads of suitors...

also from an offensive point of view Sammy Watkins was so tempting!!!

SameOleJay

That Bortles pick throws the cat amongst the turkeys.

Red Crow

The Jags are obviously going to take Clowney but let's say Gus Bradley loves Bridgewater or Manziel and decides that they aren't going to be around in the second round; If you're the Cowboys are you looking to trade up to get Clowney? Maybe if the Browns pass on him too and take Greg Robinson or maybe Bridgewater? The Raiders are an ideal candidate to trade down. Considering the state of the Cowboys DLine do you go get a Clowney or do you wait around until Clowney goes and maybe then trade up for less value for an Aaron Donald or wait and hope that Aaron Donald falls to you at 16?

For me the cowboys are going to have to fix that DL or else Tony Romo is going to be still involved in shoot outs. I think the have to go DE/DT in the first two rounds.

Also I like the Bortles pick because they have to take one of the top 3 otherwise they will be left with a Derek Carr or AJ McCarron and with the Browns sitting deeper in the draft @ 26 you have to take these guys when you have a chance.

I can see 5 QB's going in the first round: Bridgewater, Bortles, Manziel, Carr, McCarron. McCarron going to maybe a team trading back up to the first.

Did you mean someone else?, Robinson has gone to the Rams.

I will change my username to TheClevelandBrowns if 5 QBs are taken in the first round !!!

Lads I am in the process of moving house I will try get my pick done tomorrow late Irish time or Thursday.

That's perfect, you can always PM me options if you want. Still waiting on the Jags pick anyway

Not saying they deserve to be taken but I think 5 will go this year. The last with someone trading back up.

I think they'd have to ignore Clowney and take Bridgewater in that situation. You can have all the pass rushing you want but without a QB there's no hope and Bridgewater falling to the Jaguars would be dreamland if I'm them.

3 down, loads to go, now it's your turn

I must admit I hadn't planned on Clowney being available to me

either way youd have to change it in a year

If Jax have Clowney available at #3 I reckon they have to trade out and stay highish to get the QB they desperately need.

I had Bortles on my mind as my pick

JaMarcusHustle

Love the Manziel pick, TO!

Having a hard time figuring out which team will benefit from having a franchise QB more, Cleveland or Houston. Both (appear to) have almost everything in place except for a QB as the missing piece of the puzzle. Guess you have to give the advantage to Houston as they have a more stable setup off-the-field. But it's really weird being optimistic about Cleveland's chances for once! If they draft Manziel, they're my new second favourite team.

Red Crow

Brown's didn't even go to Manziel's Pro Day. Unfortunately for their fans they're always going to suck.

In Exile

I'm still not 100% convinced on Manziel making it as a top NFL QB.

I can't even explain why, there's just this nagging voice that he'll be a bust. I hope not because of how talented he is but I can't get past it.

As for pick 5. If you are the Raiders and Bridgewater has dropped down as far as that. What do you do? Take him to compete with Schaub? Take him and groom him for a year? Trade down?

Take Sammy Watkins perhaps? Gives them a very good O then.

Be another reason why an organisation like the Browns would bite on Manziel. Don't attend his pro day and still draft him. But having said that there have been more than a few players in fact lots of players end up at teams who couldn't be arsed attending his pro day.

JaMarcusHustle

They didn't attend Bridgewater, Bortles, Carr or Clowney's pro days either. If they're really interested in a guy, they'll run their own private workout with him. They don't care for pro days in Cleveland, and they have a point too.

Pick made & PM sent

I don't really have an issue with the talent level & feel the off the field issues are much ado about nothing. My concern would be how he would hold up to the hits he will take in the NFL.

I think the Jags could take him tbh. Khan has invested so much to attract people to follow the team & so far no success. Manziel is box office so would draw a huge interest level to whomever drafts him.

HigginsJ

Team Player Positon

Texans Bortles QB
Rams Robinson OT
Jags Clowney DE
Browns Manziel QB
Raiders Evans WR

Syferus

Manziel is too exciting for the Browns. They'll re-draft Mark Sanchez or Christian Ponder somehow.

Leslie91

Wow........ Evans!. I like him but would not have thought he'd go so high. The Raiders have always loved speed outside so I reckon they might actually pick Watkins if they go WR. Like HigginsJ I am not sold on Mack but other options might have been Matthews at Tackle, Barr at OLB or even Bridgewater!!.

Barr isn't in the conversation at all tbh, his stock is way down. I love Bridgewater but I just think Schaub buys them time.

It really did come down to Matthews vs Evans. I think both will be huge successes in the NFL but that Evans fills the bigger hole & apparently McKenzie & Allen need to win this year

Chucky the tree

Very sorry about the delay lads. I PM'd Barney92

A lot of the reports are saying McCown will start which is interesting as Glennon showed a fair bit of promise last year

Paully D

Love the Mack, Watkins and Bridgewater picks there lads. If Bridgewater falls to the Vikings at #8 then every one of their fans should do the lottery that night :pac:
