4/26: Fanspeak mock but Walter Football board
I'm posting this only for the absurdity of the first pick and how it affects the rest of my drafting.
Somehow, someone I wasn't expecting fell to 16 and, I only made one trade after that - sending 2-19 to Baltimore for 2-26 and 4-23.
16 - R1P16 QB JAMEIS WINSTON FLORIDA STATE
58 (from BAL) - R2P26 WR SAMMIE COATES AUBURN
82 - R3P18 TE JESSE JAMES PENN STATE
116 - R4P17 DT GABE WRIGHT AUBURN
122 (from BAL) - R4P23 CB JOSH SHAW USC
152 - R5P16 WR-KR TY MONTGOMERY STANFORD
175 (comp) - R5P39 S ADRIAN AMOS PENN STATE
195 - R6P19 C GREG MANCZ TOLEDO
211 (comp) - R6P35 DE DEION BARNES PENN STATE
216 (comp) - R6P40 OLB ALANI FUA BYU
235 - R7P18 ILB JEFF LUC CINCINNATI
I'm sure some of you wouldn't want Winston, even at 16. The way I see it is this. The girl he may or may not have raped is now in civil court. What does that tell me? He's no longer likely to ever have a criminal case. He could be out some money, but he's not going to jail. If the consensus #1 QB is falling to us when we so desperately need a frontline QB, how can we pass him up.
Of course, NOW I haven't done 2 things I'm usually eager to do - 1) trade down and 2) use my first-rounder on a wide receiver. At 2-26, some top WRs are still there including DGB (no thanks) and Devin Smith (no thanks). The only WR I like in that spot is Sammie Coates.
3-18 offers a lot of good choices but my favorite OLB, Lorenzo Mauldin, got snagged by the Bears. My new QB needs weapons so here's Jesse James.
Gabe Wright and Josh Shaw are both value picks and positions with some need. Ty Montgomery and Adrian Amos are definite role players. The last four are positions I should have addressed sooner but the right guys never fell in the right spots.
