2015 Mel Kiper Jr. Invitational Report Card....

[xwalker]

Trail prefers playing OLB in a 3-4. He was also taller than I expected. He was listed at 6'6" everywhere I looked. I think there's a point where you become too tall and lose agility.

We'll see at his pro day. Right now the entire league has him pegged at DE only.

He moved around well playing as an off the ball LB in the Senior Bowl, but 6-7, 270 seems really big for a LB. Some team might actually try him at TE which he thinks he can play.

So you won this year while learning who the players are?

Is this your way of rubbing it in?

The best drafts imo were the Titans, Jets, Jags and Bengals. If I had to award a "best draft" out of this group, I'd pick the Jags.

The Cowboys draft was just... wow.

Just a suggestion make the scores from 1-5 so one person doesn't have as large an impact in voting. Weird seeing a team get 1 and another 10

Risen still does the after draft comparison rankings.
And then he reviews after one year
(For example, that Manziel steal may not look so good one year later)

As we know, the real "winner" is not known until 1-2 years or more.

It's fun to do each year, regardless.

I drafted for the Cowboys last year and I don't remember all of my picks, but I do remember that I selected Donald in the 1st and Gabe Jackson in the 2nd.

I remember some people saying Donald was a reach at 16 and Jackson was a steal at 47, when in reality Donald went at 13 and Jackson went at 81 (!)

Just goes to show the difference in the mindsets between nfl GMs/scouts and us fans. But hey, it's fun and passes the time.

Looking forward to when the draft gets Closer and we do the pick X amount of players to see who gets the most.

I love that too even though I suck at it.

Like some of us thought, Nation hit it out of the park getting Humphries with the 103rd pick. Gregory will hurt him some.

But it looks like there could be some big scores this year.
I like my Agholor (70) and Mariotta (6) picks so far.

Risen has two winners already too...and has Jarrett (121) waiting to kill it.

Unless I'm missing it...nobody selected Byron Jones?

3 picks in the top 37 and only gave up this year's 4th and next year's 4th. Sounds way better than a D to me....just saying

 

[unionjack8]

my "winning" mock looks pretty crapola, good job i got a 1 next year cos cody prewitt well and truly shafted me

 

[Oh_Canada]

Me no likely my La'el Collins pick as much now.
