1) I accepted the Alex Smith trade,
2) I didn't have Edgar Jones on my roster,
3) I'm trading down with the Denver Broncos. I give them my #23 (760 pts), discounted to 494 pts. In return, we get #56 (340 pts), #95 (120 pts), #156 (30 pts), and #242 (1.2 pts) for a total of 491.2 pts.
so my picks are:
#56 - Cody Latimer WR (Indiana) - Denver
I coveted Jordan Matthews with my first pick, but I was able to get more back in a trade with Denver for a similar player who is also headed to a prolific offense.
#87 - Phillip Gaines CB (Rice) - KC
I'm already in good shape at CB, but the draft didn't really fall to my needs well here and Gaines will give me insurance in case KC parts ways with Brandon Flowers in the next year or two.
#95 - Michael Schofield OT (Michigan) - Denver
With the loss of Branden Albert, my offensive line is looking pretty thin. Terron Armstead is penciled in as my starting LT, but my other tackles are still big question marks. Schofield and 6th round pick of Laurent Duvernay-Tardif give me a couple of other prospects to take up the slack or play guard in a pinch.
#124 - Kevin Pierre-Louis OLB (Boston College) - Seattle
With Tamba Hali getting older, it's time to find his replacement. I've got a couple candidates on my roster, but no sure things so I'll add Pierre-Louis to the mix and hope for the best.
#156 - Ed Reynolds S (Stanford) - Philadelphia
Reynolds is a guy I had targeted to bolster my thin safety ranks. The trade down was designed around him and Latimer.
#163 - Aaron Murray QB (Georgia) - KC
I don't know whether he'll replace Chase Daniel or Tyler Bray, but I think he's a good deal this late in the draft and I expect him to have an equal or better career than either of those guys.
#200 - Laurent Duvernay-Tardif OT (McGill) - KC
He's smart, he's strong, and he's big. I hope his name will fit on the jersey.
#238 - Trey Millard FB (Oklahoma) - San Francisco
I too need a FB. Why, oh why didn't I roster Anthony Sherman so I could use this pick on Henry Josey? I don't know, but at least I have one more pick.
#242 - Bruce Gaston NT (Purdue) - Arizona
Damnit! I need a NT worse than I need a RB so no Henry Josey here. NT is probably my thinnest position. One of the guys on my roster plays for Arizona so I'm picking up Gaston with my final pick because he went to Arizona as an UDFA. It's possible that neither of them will win the starting job, but one of them will almost surely make the team.
