27.18 Cardinals select Junior Galette, OLB

He had a pretty good year last year as a rotational DE, recording 5.0 sacks in just 25% of snaps. He's a more natural fit for OLB in a 3-4 scheme, so I think he will be a quality starter in this defense. I will also have him play DE in some pass rushing sub-packages.

NEW RULES: DAILY FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED DRAFTING

Alright folks, things are starting to really slow down and I understand people are busy. So, starting immediately, we will begin first-come, first-served drafting.

First, the 13 teams who have not yet made their round 27 selection can make their picks immediately.

Starting Monday at 10:00AM EST, each team may select two rounds worth of players per day on a first-come, first-served basis. On Monday, everyone can make their round 28 and 29 selections.

Please remember to search the thread (not the spreadsheet) before you make your picks to make sure you haven't missed someone being selected.

Fine by me.Also on a side note I am almost completely caught up with the rosters on Madden. I know some people werent all for this, but I did put A LOT of time and effort into getting the rosters together, changing the defensive schemes, changi positions, etc. I will post the outcomes once the draft is completed.

Since round 28 starts tomorrow at 10AM EST, is there a time tonight I can make 27.32 if it doesn't come around to me by then?

I am going to create them. Im gonna use ratings that comparable rookies have had in the past years and combine numbers/scouting reports. I can only create 25 I believe so Ill do that and for the others I will put comparable players

27.32 Saints select David Bakhtiari, LT

From Lance Zierlein, one of my favorite sports personalities/analysts when it comes to evaluating offensive lineman (his father was an offensive line coach for professional teams from 2001-2009):

"

David Bakhtiari Colorado 2nd

David Bakhtiari is one of my favorite tackles in the draft. Bakhtiari is a long-limbed tackle, high cut tackle who can get up to the second level quickly and has the functional strength you are looking for as a pass protecting tackle. I think he can play either tackle spot and what I really like about him is that he's nasty and finishes his blocks. The disposition, length and athleticism are exactly what I am looking for in a tackle.

One area of concern is whether or not he can move guys as a run blocker in the NFL and I also think he has some issues with hitting moving targets when he gets to the second level with his run blocking."

It sounds like he could certainly push Marcus Gilbert at LT.

Edit:

[ExaltedOne]

First-come, first-served drafting kicks off now.

Cincinnati Bengals

28: John Simon, DE/OLB

29: Ryan Harris, OT

Another pass-rusher in Simon. Harris is a solid starting RT when healthy, in case my rookie Armstead doesn't work out.

Oakland Raiders

28: Tony Scheffler, TE
29: Daryll Tapp, DE

Scheffler is a good receiving TE who can backup or even start over Keller. Tapp can rotate with the other DEs and provides some retirement insurance for Peppers.

Cleveland Browns

28: Karl Klug, DT
29: Chad Henne, QB

A young 4-3 DT and a solid backup QB.

Edit: two of my picks stolen!

 

[AwesomeAuger]

Saints select Matt Shaughnessy, DE

Saints Select Kaluka Maiava, LB

Maiava can play all 3 linebacker positions and can push James-Michael Johnson to start at WLB. Shaughnessy is stout against the run and will be part of my DE rotation. He'll be a part of my DE rotation with Freeney, who I want to keep fresh throughout the course of the season as he gets older.

Starters:
Offense
QB Aaron Rodgers 1.1
HB Frank Gore 17.32

LB Kaluka Maiava 29.32
CB Chris Cook 24.1
Chiefs select Matt Hasselbeck, QB

Chiefs select Vance McDonald, TE

Hasselbeck provides a good veteran presence and could start at QB if Nassib is not ready. Vance McDonald is a rookie TE who is raw but has enormous athletic potential.

Offense
QB Ryan Nassib 13.8

I think people should just update the google doc. It is so much easier to search for IMO than searching the forum, but thats just me.

I feel like it should be noted that this is the first rookie the Rams have taken. Hmm.

Question.....

How does going to FCFS style help the teams who been skipped catch up ??

Seems all it will do is put the more active posters that much further ahead .

What am I missing?

 

[ExaltedOne]

Question.....How does going to FCFS style help the teams who been skipped catch up ??Seems all it will do is put the more active posters that much further ahead .What am I missing?

It's not really designed for that. It's designed to get this thing over with without me having to send out 5001235011205912015 texts a day

I think it is less pressure for people who were feeling rushed to pick to keep things moving.

It also means you can post your players once and then you don't really have to look at the thread until the next day.

 

[Bamac]

I think you're missing that many of the more active posters don't care about helping the rest catch up. They're just tired of waiting.

 

[Wu-banger]

Got it ....

Was not under the impression we needed to rush to get this thing done.

I would understand if we wanted to finish before the rookie draft and then have another draft for rookies, but that is not the case.

yeah, I wanted Scifres and Anger. Had them both typed, then had to step away and got sniped.
