Build a FRANCHISE draft (1 Viewer)

6.24 Dolphins select Josh Sitton, OG

Guy qualified to be a Pro Bowler...and is only 26 years old. The best years are ahead of him. Besides, gotta protect whoever my QB is =P

Offense

2.09 - Russell Okung, LT

3.09 - Randall Cobb, WR

6.24 - Josh Sitton OG

Defense:

1.24 - Navorro Bowman, LB

4.24 - Robert Quinn, DE

5.09 - Charles Tillman, DB

You still want to win as soon as possible. I'm not really looking further than like a 4-5 yr window. So much turnover in the NFL. Look at how wild this FA period is. That plus a draft every year means there will be plenty of opportunity to upgrade or get younger when needed.

6.25 Chiefs select Sharrif Floyd, DE

Cosell has stated he thinks Floyd should go 1.1 in the real draft and compared him to Watt. I honestly wasn't expecting him to last to this point of the draft. He helps my young defense get even younger and more talented. Calais Campbell, Dareus, and Floyd should provide fits for all offensive lines in the league.

Not sold on him at all personally, I just don't see what makes him a special talent that everyone is claiming.

With the defense I assembled so far I thought Smith would be a great pick to play QB on a team that has a similar philosophy he is used to .....Before his injury that allowed Cap to start , Smith played at a high level for almost two years ....he is the undisputed starter in an offense with talent and Andy Reid's pass first mindset .Best non rookie by far IMO.

Being completely honest, I don't really watch college football and rely on what others have to say about the rookies. Cosell is one of the opinions I respect the most and I have yet to really read any source that has thought Floyd will bust. There's definitely inherent risk associated with drafting a rookie in this format. You don't know if he will be a complete bust or if he will be a star. However, at this point, I think his upside outweighs his risk and the risk is partially mitigated by putting him in a good position to succeed.

I totally agree myself, I don't have the time to watch a lot of college football myself outside of the big games and highlights. I just put a lot of trust into a particular group of sites and analysts that have been pretty accurate in the past and they all seem to agree that he's being overrated based on their scouting of his tape.

Comparing any player to Watt seems a stretch. I think Floyd will be a scary player, great at times but inconsistent. Someone the offense will have to account for, which always helps the rest of the Defense. He was in my top 3 remaining.
 
Looks like a bust to me. Glenn Dorsey/Tyson Jackson style.

In other words, a perfect fit for the Chiefs! :lmao:

Get outta here doosh
 
This is tough. I have to take this guy because he's the only qb left that I like. Can't risk getting stuck with what's left. Like what I saw from this kid.

6.26 Buffalo Bills - Kirk Cousins, QB

Damn qb position interfering with the physical, tough team I was building.

Cousins showed well in his limited playing time, but a number of others have in the past as well.........biggest question here is how do we rate his performance if he only plays a couple, if that, games in the next few years .

( don't know his contract situation)

Well he was a rookie so I think he has at 2 more years on his deal. Then he'll be a restricted free agent so I'm sure he'd be tendered. That is if he's not traded before then.

I think you'll see plenty of Cousins in the next few years. :ominous:
 
Once Alex Smith was gone this was the only guy left that I felt good enough about.

Agree with Bamac. With RGs durability and style of play, I have a feeling we will see more of what Cousins can do in reg season action.

 
With the 6.27 pick, the Colts select Curtis Lofton, MLB

Pick up the captain of this stellar defense, and he is a good one. Still only 26, and I feel he is a top 10 MLB in the league.

Tony Romo, QB

Vincent Jackson, WR

Joe Haden, CB

Curtis Lofton, MLB

Cameron Wake, DE

Michael Johnson, DE

EDIT: Got my teams mixed up.

I gave thought to going with lofton instead of spikes, they're close.

Spikes is better against the run. He isn't fast, but plays faster than his 40 time would show.
 
6.29 Houston Selects - Matt Forte RB

He has proven he can carry the load for an offense; still young, imagine what he can do behind my beast line compared to the schulbs hes been running behind in Chicago.

1.29 Darrelle Revis

2.04 Matt Kalil

3.04 Brian Orakpo

4.29 Ryan Kalil

5.04 Chance Warmack

6.29 Matt Forte

Meecrob, Skeletore try to stick around after your picks a while. I already PMed instinctive and I have 8's list. Maybe we can knock out a few in a row.

 
I'm bored so

Favorite picks of round 6

Dashon goldson - brings attitude and physicality to the secondary

Jason peters - risky, but if he returns to form, it's a steal

Least favorite

Forte and foster. I just can't get behind drafting an rb at this point in the draft

:rant: :hot: I was hoping to pair him up with Sherman. Thought it was more likely he'd slip to the next round than Floyd.

Yeah I'm happy to pair him with Peterson. He was probably the best corner in football last year once revis went down

Cromarite was my pick at 21 but looking at the teams picking behind me I HAD to go QB.
 
I agree on Forte but Foster is an elite RB who can grind out a defense and score TDs.

There are several teams now without any offensive skill players. I don't know how they expect to win games with just an offensive line and/or defense. You win by scoring more points than the other guy.

There are 20 teams without a single WR. Every team needs at least two. High scoring offenses often have 3+

There are 20 teams without a single RB. Every team needs at least 1. When you have lesser RBs, you may need 2.

There are 7 teams without a QB. There are maybe 3 or 4 that might be able to manage an offense, and the rest are guys we know suck.

Once these teams decide to switch from their D to their O, these guys will go fast. I'd rather have one of the best guys already in-hand than be fighting for scraps.

I'm sure you feel the same way about o-line, defense, etc, but there are still a lot of good guys out there and far fewer teams without anyone at those positions.

Still plenty of depth at WR/RB. The Chiefs aren't worried about those positions. QB is a worrisome spot but I still see multiple QBs who could thrive in the right system.

I'm sure ill take some flack for this, but I don't think foster is an elite rb. He is a very good, well rounded rb in the perfect system that gets the most out of his skills. I also think the decline has already begun. I'd also say you can draft the 25th-30th rb off the board and get a good player.
 
I'm going to be unavailable for a little while so I will pm meecrob my pick in case it gets to me (he picks right after me). When I am up, instead of pm'ing me, pm him.

I see maybe 3-5 runningbacks still out there who isn't injury prone, 30+, a rookie, or crappy.The guys who are out there are the kind that can get you 1200 yards and 10 TDs on a great year. Foster's "decline" in 2012 was 1600 yards and 17 TDs.

Lots of talent still available and a strong o line makes it a lot easier to run your offense. If you can't block then you're probably going to have a hard time getting the most out of an elite wr or rb.
