patman Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Villian, how the hell do you sell that pick to the fanbase? You just picked Bortles last year and the team needs are huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcat Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 you could also trade with Jax for Mariota (if you are a Mariota type of guy, that is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcat Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 White is a beast. The thought of Miami getting him and us being tortured by him for many years is just sickening to me. Thankful that this is all pretend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Okay, now that the pick was made I can explain the Miami pre trade up. As we know no team is going to do a trade up before hand like that in the real draft. There were a few reasons why I jumped the gun on this. It is not easy to make these kind of trades since we are not all sitting at a table in a real war room. People come and go and some don't appear for hours. Being in the mtn time zone the draft was going to start at 6 am my time and I do not get into work until 10 am east. There was also a possibility that I was going to have meetings this morning (which did not come to pass thankfully). I thought that if I did not act right then and there on the agreed trade that there was going to be a good chance I wouldn't trade up at all so I took the chance. And I did have a backup plan if both top WR;s were off the board at 7. Re Oakland, both WR were possibilities for me but I would have taken Williams, Fowler (perhaps even Beasley) 1st. I'll further discuss my Oakland strategy at the end of the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People come and go and some don't appear for hours This is a great point -- especially for those who have not done mocks with trades before. Sometimes you have to pull the trigger early when you have the opportunity, because the guy you want to trade with may not be online if you wait until you are on the clock.

32EBoozer Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 So who would you guys take? White or Cooper if both available at 6? I was ready to take White(the physical freak) but West Virginia products scare the crap out of me. Tavon, Geno, Vick, Bailey.... I could go on and on. Cooper is Silky Smooth like Jerry Rice. Just knows how to play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just knows how to play the game. It's a very tough choice. Cooper is more polished and NFL ready. White has more potential to become an AJ Green/Juio Jones/Dez Bryant superstar. I think White has the bigger upside and Cooper is the safer pick. Here's a great article on White from a small fantasy site that has proven itself to be exceptional at evaluating offensive talent: http://rotobahn.com/scouting-report-kevin-white-wr-west-virginia/ I was completely unaware of White's JUCO background. I don't think you can fault either a Cooper or a White pick at slot 6. Both are excellent. Plus, I do think Oakland takes one of them ahead of us. But Day 1 of the draft should be fascinating to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably have taken White if given the choice -- but I would still be very happy with Cooper on our roster next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Falcons get sabotaged again. There was that time I took Alford in the second, now Hess takes Ray. I'm meh on White. Doesn't have the track record the guys he gets compared to (Fitzgerald, Green, Jones) when drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prime21 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Giants selected DT, Danny Shelton. Guy is a monster in the middle and will help repair that D Line for Spags. I passed on Sherrif because I can get value in the 2nd or 3rd. Seriously thought about Gregory who is probably the best player on the board but the Giants don't mess around when it comes to off the field issues....unless you are LT.

JayKwaz Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I took Scherff for the Rams as they need a lot of O-line help and he can play wherever they need him to except C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had decided NOT to draft Marriota, who would your selection have been @3 Given the Jags 4-3 scheme it would have probably been Shane Ray. I dont like Ray as a 3-4 OLB, but as a lineman in a 4-3 I think this kid would dominate. I just didnt like taking him at #3 though. I wanted to trade down, bad enough as you saw that I was willing to draft a QB just to dangle him around lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
