AF Forum Mock Draft 2015 interest list & Chat

Shaq Thompson went to the Browns

First the Colts steal a franchise from Baltimore and now they steal a pick from Cleveland

Sorry but you have to redo the pick

franglan

And there it is every single GM's worst nightmare when making draft picks - you select someone already picked! Had to happen...

HigginsJ

Picks made and PM sent.

They were both fairly straight forward with the players on the board. Would have looked at corner for the Pack but didn't see anyone worth the pick at that point. I would be slightly concerned about taking Dawson as there are character issues there but he offers great value at this point and is going in to a very strong locker room.

For the Hawks I was considering Funchess at WR/TE or Lynden Trail along the D-Line but the recent changes at centre make that the main need for me. Grasu should be a very competent replacement for Unger and can pair up with Wilson for the next decade.

Only just saw this now, I can change one of my picks if the Colts go Dawson or Grasu.

I was sure I'd do it. Had my picks typed up and had to open about 3 other webpages just to go through the list before publishing... I was still waiting for the reply and/or PM pointing it out!!!

tripperman

I hope Ali isn't on the list, very sorry about that lads, don't know how I made that mistake, I prepared that yesterday, Ali was my 3rd choice for this round a little raw but a real talent if the right coach gets him, he does need more bulk on his frame but has the power and skill set required imo that is

I was just going to select him for the Pats. Definitely think he could be one of the steals of the draft.

Ah so I'm not alone in his fan club, for me a little work his needed on him but he could be a starter by end of sesaon

TheDoctor

And the 64th and final pick of this years Boards.ie draft is........

Alfred Borden

Mr Irrelevant of the boards draft is Duke Johnson :pac:

TheDoctor

Someone should tweet him the good news

mikemac1

We're done Only took me 67 pm's.

*sibs well earned pint*

I nominate Leslie91 to be commish next year!

TheDoctor

Great stuff mike, not cracking on for round 3 no? We have a week and a half to kill here.

mikemac1

We can do I guess. Can't do 32 GM's though. Maybe 10 or so GMs and you make 3 picks in a row like last year

Right, sign up, I'm in

I won't limit it though, if you're interested you're in

in bold not because I'm a mod cos I'm not but people might notice and sign up

Well done Mike.... you're a brave man to take this on year after year!.

He's a bloody good RB though. I've a feeling he might be a Charger round 2.

The Bogman

I'd be up for a go at round 3 anyway

I'd be willing to give it a lash also

HigginsJ

I'd be in for the 3rd

UnitedIrishman

Yeah I'd go for a third round.

DDC1990

My depth of college football doesn't go this deep, but I'll put in the research and go for a 3rd.

tripperman

I wouldn't have enough knowledge of college football to be able to get the right players for 3 teams and to do it properly, but I'll keep eye out for the Chargers pick

I have to say that was very enjoyable and I learned a lot more about different players and teams which is always a positive. Great stuff everyone.

Big thanks to Mike for running it too, especially as it appeared to be much harder work than I'm sure he expected it to be when taking the reigns again :pac:

I'll throw my name into the hat for a 3rd round too, though I must say that I probably won't be able to make any picks on weekdays until after around 9pm. If that's okay, I'm in.

after the 3rd it could be worth having a thread where people give there opinion on the draft in an award style i.e.. best value player, most over drafted player etc

Can we get a handful more GMs and we can kick off? If you sign up you'll be making 3 picks in a row. It worked last year and it'll work again.

In previous years we had 16 GMs sign up. This year we had about 38 involved

helimachoptor

Yeah well done Mike, tough job to get people committing.

As far round 3 happy to help from Friday evening onwards, packing the wife off to the in laws for a few days!

phatkev

I'll take part in another round of picks

Barney92

I didn't go for the first two rounds this year due to exams, but they're over now so if you need someone for round 3 I'll give it a shot. Fair play to Mike for running it, it's been a very interesting read over the last few weeks.

tripperman

Sure I'll give a go, let me know the teams and I'll start researching for them

mikemac1

I'll wait until I get home from work and if there are no more signups I'll give out picks tonight.

Cheers Mikemac1 - enjoyed the 1st two rounds but can't take part in 3rd round sorry...

nasty_crash

I'll continue to pick if there is space

DDC1990

I'll go as well.

mikemac1

Picks here lads. Any extra GM's that want to take the final picks are welcome or if we get none some GM's here can take them.

It's the same as last year that you make 3 picks in a row. It is expected that you add photos and jazz up the posts a bit, we can't have just text

Make full use of the list that was done in post 325 as doing something daft like drafting two QB's will result in ridicule. Wait! The Redskins did that a few years back, ok never mind

We don't have a whole lot of time so lets get cracking

No, No, that's cool I wasn't one of the first people to sign up for this....That's cool I'ma be over here starting my own draft

Paully D

Picks made and PM sent to Higgins who is up next:

65) Buccaneers - Preston Smith (DE)
66) Titans - Ronald Darby (CB)
67) Jaguars - Lorenzo Mauldin (Rusher)

Any thoughts?

I felt Darby was excellent value at that spot and Mauldin, while probably there or thereabouts in terms of value due to the deep rusher class this year, seems to be a nice fit for the Jaguars in a position of huge need.

I'll stick mine up in the morning, one of my teams needs a pass rusher & glad you didn't take the guy I was eyeing up.

tripperman

Pressure is on me to make a good pick for my own chargers Leslie Will run me if I pick a bust ðŸ႒, I tried editing ali marpet pick but didn't work out just shows the link when I'm copying and pasting could a mod tell me what I'm failing to do right I put in the brackets [as heli ] said did cut out a lot of text but no image just a link

Ronald Darby is a steal in the 3rd given I've seen some mocks have him in the first. One or two guys have him over PJ Williams - which is a moot point of course.

HigginsJ

Picks made and PM sent, sorry for the mix up in order, had made the Skins, Jets and then Bears pick before realising what I was doing.

mikemac1

The Bears take a monster 6'6" 338lbs tackle and he will be moving to right guard. Beef up the run game which was 27th in rushing yards in 2014

Will have the Rams & Falcons picks up when the boss fecks off to their meeting

Was there any consideration given to Brett Hundley at this point?

mikemac1

None

Maybe he'll go late 3rd round to the Cardinals.

I'm no tape expert, I just watched a small bit but Gregg Cosell who watches tape all day long ripped him. I read other various reports on him. Seems a great guy, I listened to his interview on the Rich Eisen podcast but still that doesn't matter so much

I'm not drafting him for the Bears and my Rams and Falcons won't be taking him either

I think he is getting a bit hard done by as he was behind a sieve of an o-line, I would honestly take him at the top of the 2nd if I was the Bucs or Titans and draft Leonard Williams at the top of the 1st.

If the whole Rivers/Mariota BS dies down (which it should), then I can see the Bolts taking the likes of Hundley or Petty in 3rd/4th.

DDC1990 pm'ed

I'll fix up my posts when I get home this evening

The Rams don't have a lot of needs and they took a tackle and a center in this draft. Going by you can never have two many defensive backs I took a cornerback who can play free safety if needed

Falcons took a pass rusher and a running back so far. They need some defensive line help to support that pathetic pass rush. Grady Jarrett will help anchor the line and take up blockers creating opportunities for others
