The reason I like this one is because you can make trades, picks are graded, and see how you rank.

Here is who I got in my first go around


Round 1 Pick 24 (CINN): Hasean Clinton-Dix, FS, Alabama (A)
Round 2 Pick 23 (CINN): Deone Bucannon, SS, Washington State (A)
Round 2 Pick 27 (IND): DaQuan Jones, DT, Penn State (A)
Round 3 Pick 21: Aaron Donald, DT, Pittsburgh (A)
Round 3 Pick 26 (IND): Jared Abbrederis, WR, Wisconsin (A-)
Round 3 Pick 27 (N.O.): Kelcy Quarles, DT, South Carolina (A)
Round 4 Pick 21: Jeremiah Attaochu, OLB, Georgia Tech (A)
Round 6 Pick 18 (DAL): Aaron Murray, QB, Georgia (A)
Round 6 Pick 21: DeDe Lattimore, ILB, South Florida (A-)
Round 7 Pick 14 (DAL): Bene Benwikere, CB, San Jose State (B)
Round 7 Pick 17 (DAL): Jordan Tripp, OLB, Montana (A)
Round 7 Pick 21: Marcus Williams, CB, North Dakota State (C)

Towards the end I went small school fishing. I regret not getting a TE, but didnt see any I really liked when I went to address the issue. Obviously I saw some concerns on the line and immediately addressed the safety problem.

That draft seem's soo unrealistic, don't know what trade chart it used, the only teams having that many draft point to trade with, would be the Rams or Browns.

If you lay all the Packers picks together, they have around 1450 points, your draft have 1960+ points, that's a huge difference.

It borders on completely unrealistic but it's fun

I would go crazy if we pulled these guys out of the draft... my god
A lot of good drafts above, as well!

 

[Stevie DK]

Is it just me, or is there a few big players that aren't there? Vic Beasley, Ed Reynolds, Trent Murphy, Jordan Zumwalt? would be even more fun with a player update.

[was supposed to be in same post, but somehow this is a new post]

It is an unrealistic result. But this draft would be a BIG improvement.

Hageman, Donald, Easley (a gamble) and McCullers would upgrade the D-line. Van Noy, Ford and Tripp would provide pass rush. Borland and Jackson would compete for the inside linebacker jobs. Ward and Sunseri would compete for the second safety spot. Hal would be just an extra CB.

On offense, Benjamin would provide a big target for Rodgers. Same for Jensen at TE. Both would upgrade the red zone offense. Johnson and Ikard would be backups on the O-line. Garoppolo would be a project a QB.

This looks pretty cool. Is it free?

Not picking on you, just pointing out how silly first-pick is. Clinton-Dix- prob won't be there at that spot. Tuitt- prob wont' be there at that spot- Hageman- prob won't be there at that spot. Van Noy- prob won't be there at that spot. Borland- won't be there at that spot. Easley- won't be there at that spot. McGill- prob won't be there at that spot. Niklas- won't be there at that spot. Ward- won't be there at that spot. etc., etc.

More fun that fanspeak, but fanspeak is more useful.

You'are obviously right. I tried to get the best possible draft, and this is probably one of the best possible drafts in first-pick. I think Hageman, van Noy, Tuitt and Niklas are underrated in first-pick. Hasean Clinton-Dix is usually picked early, but somehow not this time. Easley might actually drop due to his injury.

 

[apham8311]

Here is my best so far. no way in hell that Nix is at the end of Rd 1. I have drafted Mosely a bunch at 21 too, no way that happens. He is also listed on here as an OLB. It does throw in a lot of kinks and you really never know how it will go. The recommended positions of need are off too I think.

Round 1 Pick 26 (CLE): Louis Nix, DT, Notre Dame (A)
Round 2 Pick 21: Ed Reynolds, FS, Stanford (A-)
Round 2 Pick 25 (S.D.): Stephon Tuitt, DE, Notre Dame (A)
Round 3 Pick 1 (HOU): Christian Jones, ILB, Florida State (B+)
Round 3 Pick 21: C.J. Fiedorowicz, TE, Iowa (A)
Round 4 Pick 1 (HOU): Carlos Hyde, RB, Ohio State (A)
Round 4 Pick 25 (S.D.): Chris Davis, CB, Auburn (A-)
Round 4 Pick 28 (CAR): Bruce Ellington, WR, South Carolina (A)
Round 5 Pick 21: Denzel Perryman, OLB, Miami (Fla.) (A)
Round 5 Pick 28 (CAR): A.J. McCarron, QB, Alabama (A)
Round 6 Pick 21: James Stone, C, Tennessee (B)
Round 7 Pick 21: Alden Darby, SS, Arizona State (A-)

 

[FrankRizzo]

Ted has drafted:

AJ Hawk
BJ Raji
CJ Wilson
DJ Smith
DJ Williams

It seems perfectly logical that he takes the free-falling CJ Mosley, and also takes a Day-3 flier on AJ McCarron.
