Make it a good 'un

No pressure

Any reason why you went for Smith over Strong in that spot, Heli? I'd personally prefer Strong there but I also wouldn't complain with Smith!

flip of a coin this morning tbh paully, I'd rate them both similarly. Yeah Strong is physically bigger, but I think Smith has a bit more of that bite about him on the field.

tbh im hoping one of them is there for the Titans 2nd round pick

If we go receiver he'll have to a deep threat anyway.

Already have strong (Boldin type) recievers like Steve Smith, Marlon Brown and Kamar Aiken on the roster, Campanaro for the slot too.

4.45 40 time and track background sounds encouraging

i think he can be hes quick and tenacious with the ball there to be caught, he doesnt have the size of Strong... but i belive its the size of the fight in the dog and not the size of the dog in the fight

just look at Justin Hunter

Had to be defense for me for the Boys. They are in poor shape in the secondary but I had a look at Goldman for the D line. Was also tempted by Perryman the WR who could be this years ODB in terms of where he might be picked up in the draft. Collins has the size for the new prototypical corner being almost 6" 2 and has so much upside. Being a Cowboy after coming from LSU should help focus his mind on being the player he can be.

Looks like I missed my pick then!

The Ravens picked yesterday morning.

Sorry, I know you had some options lined up but have to keep moving

That's fair enough. Wasn't at a computer from Sat eve onwards so couldn't get on. As it happens my pick was off the board by the time I was picking anyways (Gurley).

Alfred Borden

Love the Goldman picks to the Colts. Its the player I really want us to draft, would perfectly fit our scheme.

I'll b very interested to see how he pans out no matter where he ends up.

tripperman

Sorry about the delay first time gm and kept changing my mind but settled on Eddie Goldman Dt, I know dt isnt a big need for colts but i didnt feel comfortable picking any safety left this early and no quality o line players to improve the team, goldman is a top prospect that just needs a little work but should be a pro bowl, i remember watching them struggling to stop the run in games, will pm next gm now

Humphries or the center Erving are the best 2 left for me. Erving could be the next "Pouncey".

Didn't think they would improve colts oline, but i could be wrong,

Their main center last yr was an undrafted FA. If Erving is there they might take him. Harrison might then move to G.

I'll be honest I had to look at you tube videos of there o line as i wouldnt know them well at all, but i thought they were light at rt and lt but erick flowers, peat and tj clemmings were gone,the only one I thought were instant improvements across the line, hadn't watched enough tape of erving or Humphries

eagle eye

Some people will say that the Packers will only take the best LB or CB at this spot in the draft but I think if the draft unfolds as it has in this mock draft that McCarthy will take Maxx Williams at 30.

Pm sent to HigginsJ.

raze_them_all_

cant say i agree eagle eye. packers are a draft what we need not whats best on the board type of team

nasty_crash

yeah teddy has always been a i dont care about best player on the board - he is a best player that we need.... although i kinda like that pick tbh - i dont think it will happen but imagine if packers address te with first pick.... then try move up to about the rams or falcons pick in the second to pick up perriman or mackinney! thats what id like to do but i think teddy will either trade down to early the second or just pick the best ilb

Leslie91

Perryman is still out there!.

no ilb's are taken yet - so perryman is still available - mock drafts have him top 10 in round two!

Yeah. ILBs not a strong class this yr. McKinney is the pick of the bunch for me. Kendricks is just ok I reckon certainly they are no CJ Mosleys or Borlands in this draft.

EDIT: the Perriman I'm talking about is the WR. Oooops I see I spelt last name wrong above.

nasty_crash

totally agree - and to be honest thats what makes it a really tough draft for packers - albeit a nice problem to be in! All depending on the draft tbh! There is a lot of buzz around the cb's this season - intially the pool of CB's was seen to be weak and i think it is but now there is waynes, collins, peters, williams, jones, johnson all viaing for round 1 - i think its a push that most of them are even being considered.... waynes, peters and maybe collins - after that i think they should all be at least round 2! Thats where if you ted - do you reach for a round 2 player in the 1st - or do you try to get a extra 3rd or 4th pick and then pick early the second! Decisions decisions

Personally i think i would take the best ilb - and i like perryman as a pure run stuffer - not great chasing the runner - but at least if beastmode is running straight at him you know he is gonna try stop him - not like the 1st game of last season where no1 wanted to tackle him!

Leslie91

There goes Denzel Perryman.

HigginsJ

Pick made, PM sent

Alfred Borden

Patriots pick made. I dont expect them to be picking at 32 as they always trade down! :pac:

helimachoptor

the draft order is wrong for the 2nd round.

Should be Buccs - Titans, but Mike has the Titans going with the 1st pick

adrian522

Are you sure? I thought the Titans had the first pick in the second round?

Yep they do... No idea why though. Titans pick 33rd.

Are u picking for your beloved titans heli?

You know it...

Ive asked on a titans forum why we have that pick

helimachoptor

Same record as the Bucs.. It alternates between the 1st and 2nd pick of each round. Bucs #1, Titans 33, Bucs 64 etc...

From a guy called Irish Titans Fan.. who i think may be on here

nasty_crash

do ya think that saints will go with 2 linebackers in the 1st? i know they need to make improvements on the defense but i think that if green beckham hasnt been picked - i would take him here! I think he will be a steal at 31!

adrian522

helimachoptor wrote: »

Yeah, I think that's right. If teams have the same record they alternate by round.

When the 49ers traded Smith to Kansas they received the first pick of the second round even though the Chiefs didn't have the first overall pick.

phatkev

So with the first round in the books heres a few names that I thought would have showed up somewhere in the 1st round.
D.J Humphries OT (I personally think he is the best tackle in the Draft)
Shaq Tompson LB
Ronald Darby CB
Amrik Armstead DL
Jaelen Strong WR
Dorial Green-Beckham WR

theres a nice bit of talent left for the start of the 2nd round

I think Shaq Thompson is a fantastic player and will be a big player for whomever lands him from day 1. His stock has taken a bit of a hit due to his 40 time at the combine by all accounts (which is nonsense) also the fact that it's hard to peg what position he truly fits.

Strong is a bit underwhelming for me, I don't see much in him to indicate that he is going to be a very good player and I would be so worried about picking DGB, he will not have played in 21 months by the time the season begins and he is a walking red flag.

TheDoctor

ROUND 2! FIGHT!

phatkev

Obviously the off-field issues cannot be ignored and he doesnt run the most advanced of route trees, but he has an impressive physical skill-set combining size, speed and strength. I can see someone taking a chance on him late first/early second and for his first season use him as a redzone option where I think he could be a real problem for secondaries (fade and comeback routes all the way) while he improves his routes. But at the same time I can as easily see him drop to the third/fourth because of the character concerns!

frostie500

Sorry lads, I've been absolutely flat out with work so I'm not sure when I'll get back online to make my pick in the second round. I've PM'ed MikeMac to let him know but my pick in the second round is up for grabs. Sorry lads, just didn't expect to be this busy

mikemac1

Thanks for the heads up

mikemac1

The Bogman to pick for the Raiders
Gufc21 to pick for the Jags

No matter if you're the 33rd & 34th GM to sign up I'll find work for ya

Guys I was pm'd saying it was my pick, but if I'm reading it right it should be figsy next?

No I *think* it's your pick for the Titans. Bucs and Titans had the same record last year so Bucs get first pick of first round and Titans get first pick of the second!
