He's huge! Anybody know how fast is he? There were a couple pots where the corners couldn't catch him.

Edit: Nvm it looks like he ran a 4.79 40 at the combine.

NFL.com says he ran a 4.79 forty. 33 inch vertical and 121 inch broad jump. Yeah....dude's a freak.

I'm not touching Mixon with a ten foot poll. Nah. No thanks. I can't root for a **** like that.

Cossell on the guy the Packers are gonna have to trade up to get.

TRANSITION TO NFL

I believe McCaffrey can play 60-70 percent of the snaps in an offense that is shotgun-based and features the passing game as its foundation (the Green Bay Packers’ offense is one example of this type of offense). He won’t be a foundation back like Elliott or DeMarco Murray. But he can be a matchup weapon in the passing game with his ability to align anywhere in the formation and run routes at all three levels of the defense.

McCaffrey can line up in any personnel package and be effective with his running instincts, scheme versatility and competitiveness. There are some similarities to Tevin Coleman of the Atlanta Falcons – with the ability to play in the base run game and be multi-dimensional in the pass game – though McCaffrey has a different body type.

McCaffrey can be a valuable player in the NFL. He has a lot of exciting skills. Where he’s drafted will come down to which teams see him as the right fit in their offense.

Don't tease me, Greg.

Any running back I'd be sad for in the first though I could talk myself into cook. I don't think ted will draft one in the first given the depth of the draft. Reminds of when a ton of people wanted Lacy in the first round and we got him in the second anyways.

Good group of picks. My only critique would have been to target another CB in maybe the 4th instead of drafting another C since I think Linsley should be extended.

Any notable players available you took Humphrey over? Just out of curiosity...

That's fun! I did two

First one:
1st round Mike Williams
2nd round each time Teez Tabor
3rd round each time Sidney Jones
4th round each time Vince Biegel

2nd time was the exact same draft except Dalvin Cook instead of Mike Williams

Both times I passed on Jabrill Peppers and probably had most of Packer nation pissed off at me...lol.

Profound23 · Post #390 » by **Profound23** » Sat Mar 25, 2017 1:16 am

Best one yet, 5 rounds

Mike Williams
TJ Watt
Sidney Jones
Vince Biegel
Dawuane Smoot
Nico Siragusa

Could've drafted Peppers in the 1st, Jake Butt in the 3rd, and one of the big ten guards in the 5th to make it an all big-ten draft.

Yeah, no way I'm passing on Jabrill Peppers for any offensive player lol. Give me Peppers Tabor Jones Biegel all day tho.

It's weird that the 1st round changes so drastically each time, but the rest stays the same.

My third time Jonathan Allen fell to us in the 1st.......pretty much every time we land Tabor in the 2nd, Sidney Jones in the 3rd, Biegel or Duwane Smoot in the 4th, then a guard in the 5th.

Never used that site before now. Had me a mock that would cause aneurysms. Cook, Hodges, and Samuel in the first three rounds.

Found another site with trades. First-pick.com

Ended up trading down a bunch into the 3rd, then trading our later picks to move up into the 3rd a few times

Traded 1st round pick to Vikings for their 2nd, 3rd, and a future 1st. Then traded that 2nd to titans for their 2nd and 3rd. Traded that 2nd to Cleveland for two thirds.

Traded green bay's 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th to Oak for their 3rd.

Budda Baker, Kevin King, Sidney Jones, Quincy Wilson, Ryan Anderson, and Biegel all third rounders.....a guard/center with the 5th round comp pick. And I have the Vikes 1st rounder next year.

That fanspeak sim is really cool

1) TJ Watt-Edge: Productive, athletic 3-4 OLB that can step in and start opposite Perry (Clay to ILB)
2) Desmond King-CB/S: Just a tick below Jabrill as a prospect imo. Not as athletic but should fill in nicely as a Hyde replacement.
3) Sidney Jones-CB: Total value pick. Redshirt him and hope he develops into a number one corner.
4) Demarcus Walker-Edge/DE: Could potentially turn into a swing guy that you were hoping for with Datone.
5) Ethan Pocic-C: Good value and immediate backup for Linsley.
5) Sean Harlow-G: Athletic guard with good bloodlines.
6) Damore-Ea Stringfellow-WR: Potential sleeper. Fell because of a bar fight. 6'2 with good body control. Not much of a burner.
7) Ben Boulware-LB: Could be just a camp body. Hopefully can play inside and be a special teamer.

ETA: Fun to see Jones slip to the third but that simply isn't happening. If we want him we likely have to use our second round pick on him and possibly may have to trade up a bit.

Yea, I think a team with multiple 2nd round picks will take him, particularly if they're not expected to be any good. Basically I think he's gonna go #52 to Cleveland.

A couple of things about that site:

1.) It's going to be more frustrating when our first day pick is someone like Dan Feeney or Carlos Watkins

2.) A bunch of times it faces me with the one decision I fear Ted will face, all the best players gone and OJ Howard still sitting there. I would hope if this happens he either takes him or trades down for a huge haul. Don't just pass on the best player available because you signed Bennett and Kendricks.
