At the time? No, I wouldn’t have. Mostly because their grades are similar and there’s no trades so I couldn’t guarantee a T I liked in the 2nd.

In hindsight? Yes that was the move considering how far guys like Little, Brown, and Forsythe ended up falling.

Gotcha. We didn’t know anything about testing and shit like back then so I get it.

The way the board fell for the Chiefs and their needs I don’t think I could’ve gone wrong either way with Oweh or Cosmi.

Loaded.

Good work.

You arguably got a top 2 player at 4 positions (QB, TE, DT, and S)! Think the Jags F/O would be feeling pretty good about that draft.

MahomesMagic sent me his pick

The Seattle Seahawks select Ameer Hollowell, OT, Wisconsin Oshkosh

Cardinals:

1.16 - Rashawn Slater OT
2.49 - Tyson Campbell CB
5.160 - Chuba Hubbard RB
6.223 - This was supposed to be an Arizona pick but it was given to Rain Man and the Vikings in error I never caught it so no big deal...
7.243 - Tony Poljan TE
7.247 - Sage Surratt WR

- On a sidenote, I think the Chiefs should approach the Cardinals at pick number 16 if they really like a prospect still on the board at that time because the Cardinals have no third or fourth round picks and might be willing to move down to acquire more draft capital.

A piano is rolled onto the stage. Randy Newman comes out and regales the arena with a song.

Upon completion of the song, he leans into the microphone, "The Los Angeles Rams select JaCoby Stevens, OLB, LSU. And you can bet that he's going to love LA."

Randy notifies Marco Polo and makes fun of him for being short, if indeed he is short.

Greg Rousseau, EDGE, Miami
Dillon Radunz, OT, North Dakota St.
Carson Wentz
Cade Johnson, WR, South Dakota St.
Justin Hilliard, LB, Ohio State
Bobby Brown III, DL, Texas A&M
Rachad Wildgoose, CB, Wisconsin

Solid draft. Got a pass rusher with top end upside, a left tackle to protect Wentz and some nice pieces from top to bottom.

Thank you STaylor for running the thing and for having me as part of it. It’s always a fun experience!

Great question! If I were playing Veach, yes and twice on Sundays.

Excellent work.

This is also true.

Here's the Broncos draft. I would do so changes in hindsight position-wise, but overall, this draft just added to their depth. Their only strong hole is QB. If they can fix that, they will be a foe for us.

R1. Micah Parsons, LB, Penn State
R2. Wyatt Davis, OG, Ohio State
R3. Josh Myers, C, Ohio State
R4. Jaylen Twyman, DT, Pittsburgh
R5. Talanoa Hufanga, S, USC
R6. Ihmir Smith-Marsette, WR, Iowa
R7. Victor Dimukeje, EDGE, Duke
R7. Jaret Patterson, RB, Buffalo
R7. Adrian Ealy, OT, Oklahoma

The Steelers have wrapped up their draft. I’m not feeling as good about this one as I am the Cowboys.

Still, I think it would add 1 or 2 instant starters along the OL, Gainwell probably is probably the #1 back in a RB by committee approach, and everyone else is depth with the two CBs fighting it out for a starting opportunity. JOK could be a starter by mid year, but they have the luxury of a slow transition if needed. Overall, I think it balances near term needs (one last run with Big Ben) with long term building (taking a QB next year).

Through my research, I really don’t think the Steelers take a QB this year. They like Mac Jones and Kyle Trask, I just don’t think the board lets either of those two fall to a point where the Steelers would take them. The OL is also a mess, I think they rebuild it this year so that a future young QB has a chance succeeding. More likely than my draft below is the Steelers going OT, RB, and OC with their first 3 picks. I think something like LT Jenkins, RB Williams, OC Meinerz/Myers/Hill is their dream scenario.

R1.24: LB, Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, Notre Dame
R2.55: OT, Liam Eichenburg, Notre Dame
R3.87: CB, Shaun Wade, Ohio State
R4.128: RB, Kenneth Gainwell, Memphis
R4.140: OC/OG, Kendrick Green, Illinois
R6.216: DE/DT, Chauncey Golston, Iowa
R7.245: WR, Austin Watkins Jr., UAB
R7.254: CB, Zech McPhearson, Texas Tech

Special teams grunts activate!

The Cleveland Browns select Shawn Davis, S, Florida

That’s a killer draft

The Rams didn't have a first-round pick but we like our value in the subsequent rounds. We concentrated on controlling the trenches.

57. Los Angeles Rams - Rain Man - Chazz Surratt, LB, North Carolina
88. Los Angeles Rams - Rain Man - Trey Hill, C, Georgia
103. Los Angeles Rams - Rain Man - Khyiris Tonga, DT, BYU
141. Los Angeles Rams - Rain Man - Wyatt Hubert, DE, Kansas State
209. Los Angeles Rams - Rain Man - Royce Newman, OG, Mississippi
252. Los Angeles Rams - Rain Man - JaCoby Stevens, OLB, LSU

New Orleans Saints - Trevon Moehrig, S, TCU
New Orleans Saints - Jabril Cox, LB, LSU
New Orleans Saints - Rodarius Williams, CB, Oklahoma St
New Orleans Saints - Payton Turner, EDGE, Houston
New Orleans Saints - Robert Hainsey, G, Notre Dame
New Orleans Saints - Forrest Merrill, DT, Arkansas State
New Orleans Saints Deommodore Lenoir, CB, Oregon

Looking back at this draft I'm not very happy with it I should have taken a wr higher and probably focused more on the offense as well. Feel like they got a lot of value though

And that's a wrap for the Dolphins...

Miami Dolphins

1-3 - QB Zach Wilson, BYU
1-18 - ER Azeez Ojulari, Georgia
2-36 - WR Elijah Moore, Ole Miss
2-50 - OC Creed Humphrey, Oklahoma
3-81 - DE Patrick Jones II, Pittsburgh
7-231 - LB Buddy Johnson, Texas A&M
7-258 - LB Rashad Byrd, Georgia Southern

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers select.... as the 2021 NFL draft Mr. Irrelevant...
Jose Borregales, K, Miami

That’s a wrap folks!

Thanks to staylor for stepping up to manage the draft this year, and for every CP poster who participated. Good times. Go Chiefs!

Buccaneers:

1.31 - Christian Barmore DL
2.64 - Elijah Molden, CB
3.95 - Hamsah Nasirildeen, S
4.137 - Jaelon Darden, WR
5.176 - David Moore, OL
6.217 - Damonte Coxie, WR
7.251 - Malik Herring, DL
7.259 - Jose Borregales, K

Ditto - thanks for stepping up and making this happen Staylor.

Thanks to everybody that participated!

Great fun.

Thanks for making it happen.

Great job staylor!

Yeah good job on running this. Went fairly smooth and was a lot of fun

Thanks for taking the reins and running this staylor, and good job everyone!

So I really hate your 2nd round pick now S Taylor lol

Staylor, if you’re willing, I’d love to see a side bar redraft from you now with picks #58, #63, #144, #175 #181, and #207 using the players available at/after those points in our CP draft.

I actually still like Meinerz and would love for him to be a Chief... but given our lack of a third I almost feel like you’re forced to take a WR with one of the seconds, and then ideally the other is DE, CB, or LB.

I will do it tonight!

Meinerz would be the ultimate final piece to our OL puzzle.

I just think at this point DE, WR2, maybe LB maybe CB are more pressing needs

If I re-doing for the Ravens, I 100 percent take Barmore at 31.

My redraft.

58. Jamin Davis, LB, Kentucky
63. Dyami Brown, WR, North Carolina
144. Jamar Johnson, S, Indiana
175. David Moore, C/G, Grambling State
181. Keith Taylor, CB, Washington
207. Adetokunbo Ogundeji, EDGE, Notre Dame

Mine would look pretty much the same

58. Jamin Davis, LB, Kentucky
63. Dyami Brown, WR, North Carolina
144. Jamar Johnson, S, Indiana
175. Kenny Yeboah, TE, Ole Miss
181. Keith Taylor, CB, Washington
207. Adetokunbo Ogundeji, EDGE, Notre Dame

Yeah and I’d be calling Melvin Ingram after the draft.

Jamin Davis
Elijah Molden

My dumbass thought the 2nd we got from Baltimore was for next year. Ok that pick by S Taylor isnt bad think when we pick Dickerson will be there too. Either of those guys and we will have the best line in football. Then grab Brown or a LB with that other 2.

Not bad on my actual draft position deltas. For both teams, my players were actually selected about a round earlier than in the CP draft (on average). I had pretty good positional alignment with overall positions taken by each team too.

35. Travis Etienne, RB, Clemson picked 25th +10

Funny rereading this thread...it's why I dont pay much attention to pre-draft hoopla.

You guys did get Trevor Lawrence at #1 correct...so there's that.

You do realize that the goal isn’t necessarily to be a predictive mock draft, correct?

I was just messing with you guys...

What would be interesting is if you followed these types of threads with a list of which rookies actually graded out top 15 ..then contrast it.

See who actually has the best eye for talent...a lot of variables go in to it but still.
