Round 3

Spoiler:

Poast

With the 1st pick, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select...

Jameis Winston, QB, Florida St

Sorry lads, predictable I know, but let's face it, they're not starting Glennon at QB next season so a new QB is coming in from somewhere.

Make sure we PM the dudes after we've made our pick etc

Otherwise we'll be here for months

Duly noted Olly...

... Forward Pass has been PM'd.

In an odd twist of fate, GSC has my Redskins and I have his Eagles.

Wanna trade Bradford for the No. 5 pick so I can take Mariota

Only if you throw in Riley Cooper

Really wanted to go D here
But Zach Mett is not a franchise QB
So the Titans select Marcus Mariota QB Oregon

Mariota heads to footballing purgatory

With the 3rd pick, the Jaguars draft:-

Vic Beasley, OLB, Clemson.

Had the pick of the pass rusher... Just think Beasley is a) the best of them and b) the best fit for the Jaguars.

GSC wrote:Only if you throw in Riley Cooper

Riley Cooper at the Redskins... A match made in heaven.

GSC wrote:Only if you throw in Riley Cooper

Yeah, why not? What could go wrong??

Someone better wake Soddy up...

To be honest, I know he's not on this site much these days as we both had to step down from fake football management

I've PM'd him a trade offer

If anyone is interested in their previous drafts/ picks, I have the full picks from these drafts since 2011 here:-

http://1drv.ms/1Cdt1el

This is riveting stuff.

i think the clock has expired on the Raiders (sorry sodhat), anyone want to suggest their (sensible) pick?

Kevin White

Olly wrote:Kevin White

With the 4th pick of the 2015 GM Draft, the Oakland Raiders select:-

Kevin White, WR, West Virginia

Redskins pick is open for trade

I have sent an offer

So I don't hold this up any longer than necessary.

The Redskins trade the 5th pick to the Falcons for the 8th pick and a 3rd rounder

Hah, i was going to offer your Giants 9th pick and a 3rd rounder

Falcons select Leonard Williams, DT, USC

Rounds 2 and 3 added in the OP

Draft Value Trade Board

Spoiler:

Williams woulda been a good pick for the Redskins. If he's around at that point on draft day then they should snap him up. Trading down not a bad idea though... as long as they don't end up taking the useless dope-smoking Randy Gregory! That would make me puke.

Think Leonard Williams is a good pick for anyone really

NYJ wrote:This is riveting stuff.

Hmmm...

Sorry, I totally forgot about this.

New York Jets select...

Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama

With both QB's gone, the Jets elect to give Geno more weapons. Cooper is a day 1 impact player who can play as a big slot receiver and terrorize defenses with his quickness and sharp breaks. His biggest weakness is when he is playing in traffic in contested situations, however, Chan Gailey's spread offense can minimise this situations and get him the ball in space. Jets offense will be sitting pretty with Decker, Marshall, Cooper and Amaro as the top receiving threats.

Chicago bears select....

Davonte Parker, WR.

Sorry John Fox but Eddie royal is not a #2 WR, this kid is good

Redskins are again open to a move

Vikings looking to move down too after that DeVante Parker pick.

Redskins select Trae Waynes, CB

Rams at #10 looking to trade down too.

NY Giants select Dante Fowler Jr, DE/OLB, Florida

Rams are on the clock...

Thought about Scherff or another lineman; but wanted to make a sexy pick.

At #10, STL select Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia.

Vikings on the clock.

Controversial.

Wanted to pick one of the top 3 WRs, Wayne, but they've all gone and the value here is a D-lineman which is the one thing STL don't need. Plus I reckon I should be able to pick up a decent O-lineman by trading back up to the end of the first round, they are all much of a muchness for me, and #10 was too steep to take one.

Way too steep for a RB at 10 though for me.

Probably, I'd have liked to trade down really but not an option and Gurley probably goes 15-25, so not too much of a reach. The other option was DGB, a higher ceiling pick but Gurley isn't a total moron.

With the 11th pick in the NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings select...

Bud Dupree, DE, Kentucky

Dupree is very explosive and his combine numbers showcased his unbelievable athleticism. He will start opposite Everson Griffen and the Vikes will have a potentially brilliant front 7 and ascending defence.

The receivers are off the board so it leaves the picks as Scherff or Shelton.

We are going to go with Danny Shelton. A big nose tackle is key on a defence and we think Shelton can be a man to build around

Saints select
Shane Ray OLB Missouri

The Chargers have traded their 1st, 2nd and 3rd pick to the Dolphins for their 1st and 2nd round picks.

With the 14th pick, the San Diego Chargers select Randy Gregory, DE/OLB

I'd go for a middle linebacker here, but there aren't any that are really good enough to go top 15.

Consensus of the experts seems to be:

Arik Armstead, DT, Oregon

Fills a Justin Smith shaped hole, at least.

And for the record I would have taken Cooper over White for the Raidaaaaaz.

You awkward bugger

Would have liked to trade back for more value here, and went back and forward on who to pick quite a bit. In the end, I'm going to agree with sodhat that there isn't a MLB worth a top 15 pick, but since we're not in the top 15 anymore;
the HOUSTON TEXANS select Eric Kendricks - ILB, UCLA.

With the 17th pick of the draft the Miami Dolphins select:-

Brandon Scherff, OT/ OG, Iowa, 6'5", 315lbs

With White, Cooper and Parker gone, I have taken the Scherff. Played mostly at ROT in college but is expected to be more of a guard in the NFL for his first few seasons at least.
