The first couple of rounds are the least stressful and are almost impossible to screw up. Take a stud at a high value position.

No mindgames. Last year in the first 3 rounds, the only questionable pick was James Laurinaitis in the third. Besides that, everybody did a good job.

I strongly disagreed with the pick but It wasn't egregious though.

Yes. So was Kirk Cousins, Kyle Orton, and Matt Barkley if memory serves me well.

Just to confirm, we draft like an NFL GM, not like a FF person correct?

Draft like you are building a real life NFL franchise. We have no salary caps, this is an exercise of building the best, most talented team considering both the present and the future.

Revis at 1.9 is a perfect example of staying true to your own draft board. Revis was absolutely not falling to him in round 2. If Instinctive thinks he can be as dominant as he was with the Jets, Revis is absolutely worth that pick. It's not a pick I would make personally but I like that he has the balls to take his guy.

No we do draft o lineman. They are listed under punters under each respective team.

We are drafting all 53 players and are having a rookie draft.

I thought last year people were using rookies as hail mary's in the mid rounds, which is the reason behind two separate drafts. For example last year exalted took geno early last year without knowing much about him praying he'd be a successful rookie.
If interest wanes we can reduce the number of rounds in the veteran draft.

Thanks, GB.
I see Revis as far and away the best corner. He has been a top 3-5 corner week in and week out from almost the start of his first season, in every game he has played. This year's return to top form after the knee injury was quite comforting to me. It's also a position where if you're as skilled as he is, you can last a long time. See: Champ Bailey. Even Nnamdi was like 32 before he fell off.
And as Auger said, no way he was falling to me. I'd have taken him with my other team at least and I'm sure others would have grabbed him too haha.
P.S. I wanted Watt. Took him at 6 or 7 last year and loved it. I love trying to zig while everyone takes a QB. After Luck/Rodgers/Cam/Brees/RG3 I was going for my top 1 at another position all the way.

Still the best CB in the NFL in my opinion. There are only a handful of players that could be cornerstones of unbeatable defenses, and he is one of them.

I just didnt expect to see him that early... also figured 1-2 corners would be taken ahead of him (based on my board)... but that's what makes this great - seeing difference of opinions and strategy

Yeah, I hope this exchange of opinions will continue throughout the draft, it's real fun

I expected Revis to go somewhere in 1st round. I had him on top of my board at CB.
Agree with earlier post....Revis is one of a handful of guys that can be a legit cornerstone of a dominant defense.

You have to consider how quickly Griffin came back from injury. He was bad but physically he also didn't look like a player who had fully recovered. He was also in just his second year without offseason work. I think he was appropriately drafted. The risk is higher with him compared to a more conservative pick but the upside could be an elite QB.

Can you put a link to the draft in the first post so those not involved can at least watch and observe. Thank You.

Surprised to see McCoy go so high. Didn't feel like RBs hold as much value given the shorter shelf life. I agree that McCoy is the best but I didn't think a RB would go in 1st rd.
Definitely agree on that. Can't justify a RB that high, especially one with five years in the NFL already. I don't think he's gonna break down anytime soon, and he should be great for a few more years, but 13th overall is too high.

Whicker if u want in, I think someone that had two teams and picks at the end of the draft may give a team.

It's kind of bad form to talk about people who haven't been drafted but I will say that this balance of age and winning now skews more towards youth in this format imo. With no salary cap, the assumption is you can keep your core team together and let them develop. In the real NFL because of cap management, to have long term success, you have to continually draft contributing rookies because they are cheap. After a player's rookie contract is up, they may be too expensive to keep and you lose key parts to your core talent.
