The draft that could have been. (my grade A draft)

[cmoney23]

Round 1. Jalen Ramsey. Best player on the board. Can help at CB and S.

Round 2. Noah Spence. Not a high character guy, but would fill an immediate need and was said, by some, to be the best natural pass rusher in the draft.

Round 3. Conner Cook. We tried to trade up to get Lynch and would have gave up this pick anyways. And we obviously liked Cook enough to take him a round later. In this draft we don’t mess around and we grab our guy. Plus, in round three… Cook still would have been good value.

Round 4. Sheldon Day. Play both DE and DT. High character guy. Great motor, I think would excel in our scheme

Round 4. Devontae Booker. I had him ranked as the second best RB in the draft, he would be our started by next season easily.

Round 6. Aaron Burbridge. We needed to get at least one WR in this draft, we showed our lack of depth and play makers at the position last year when we lost Dez. Burbridge led the Big 10 in catches and yards last season in a run first offense and will have good report with our QB of the future.

Round 6. Anthony Brown. Size and speed you look for in a prospect. Not mad with this pick.

Round 6. Travis Feeny. Good LB prospect/ Special Teamer. Good in coverage but will miss tackles and can’t always hold up at point of attack. Should make team on Special Teams and continue to build size and strength, could turn into a nice WILL LB.

Round 6. Rico Gathers. I love him as a developmental prospect. Could be a nice playmaker in a few years.

I just posted a new thread with the same idea. Check mine out, I like mine better

I also went with Spence in the 2nd. I'm not sold on Connor Cook so I wouldn't trade up for him. I went with Jonathan Bullard.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

I actually liked our draft better. Cook is a terrible pick much less in the 3rd

You can do that regardless of the picks... go ahead... I won't stop ya.

Not a mock. I'm just saying... if I was making the picks with the way this draft unfolded and who was available. That's the draft I'd have done.

I do this about every year and my picks usually work out better.

Knowing where everyone was picked makes it a lot easier to cherry pick a draft. While the real thing is going on, there are multiple variables in play.

Just let go lol Ramsey is a jag

I didn't want Ramsey.

Anything else from the future you'd like to share? Lotto numbers maybe?

Good point, but it's still who's avaliable. You do gain the knowledge of knowing they won't be there next round this way.

 

[ConceptCoop]

I like it more than our draft, but don't love Cook in the 3rd.

 

[Macnalty]

I wanted Ramsey but with EE as the choice I am on board 100%

I'd rather have Zeke, but Devontae he may not last the season, he still hurt right?

Why would I tell you the lottery numbers. I'm greedy

Full disclosure, I left Zeke at number 4 originally until I saw we could get Booker later.

I have to agree with this.................part of drafting is not knowing if your guy is going to be there the next time you are on the clock. Kinda like if you tell me that Zeke will still be available at pick 6, then I do the deal with Baltimore and pick up an extra 4.

To come in after the fact and cherry pick after knowing exactly where everybody was picked really takes all the guess work and strategy out of the draft.

Just saying.

As much as I hate taking a running back at #4, I for some reason am not sold on Ramsey, Cowboys more than any team were most affected by the Tunsil tweet as they had more trade leverage prior to it coming out. Once that happens I get why they held firm, though a trade back with Baltimore still would be my first option because f they liked Lynch so much they could have traded back again and gotten him while still picking up a Booker or Prosise. I like Day, but think Tapper is the better pick in round four.

In my scenario:

1.Lynch (two trade Baltimore (4th), Titans (3rd)
2.Jack LB
3a.Bullard DT
3b.Prosise RB
4a.Tapper DE
4b.P.Cooper WR
4c.J.Haeg OT
6a.Frazier s
6b.Brown CB
6c.Seymour CB
6d.D.Jackson rb
