Predict the 2016 First Round

Thought we may want to do this again if anyone's interested. I know @Steel_Elvis did this last year, so I'll leave it up to him if he wants to change any rules/point scoring.

A couple more days til the real thing kicks off!!!

 

I want in on this

 

OK, I'll keep it similar to last year's scoring.

Rules:

1) - 7 points for matching teams who will trade during the draft. Both teams must match. (Example: Correct prediction of Denver trading up from 31 to 27 with GB. If you predict Denver moves up but the other team doesn't match, then the 7 points are not added. Included due to the unpredictability of trades). Scoring for players taken will be in addition as stated below)

2) - 5 points for matching the draft spot, team and player.

3) - 3 points for matching the draft spot and player, but not the team. (Example: San Diego trades out of #3, but you predict Laremy Tunsil at #3)

4) - 3 points for matching the draft spot and team via trade, but not the player. (Example: Baltimore trades up to #3 and takes Tunsil where you predicted Jalen Ramsey)

5) - 2 points for matching team and player, but not the draft spot.

6) - 1 point for each correct player taken in the first round regardless of team and spot.

Example: You predict Denver trades up with GB to select Paxton Lynch and GB selects A'Shawn Robinson. If this happens you would total 19. 7 points for getting the trade teams correct, 5 points for getting Denver's player correct and 5 points for getting GB's player correct, and 1 point each for the two players taken in the first round.

I think I got everything but let me know if I missed something or have questions.

Switched up the expected drafting of the top 2 QBs, SF passes on Lynch, Browns get Lynch, Bosa falls to Da Bears... This is my boom or bust mock draft. I'm gunning for the big points by going on the fringe, man

 

Need more than two* or Turtle definitely gonna win lol.

 

Me either. I'll submit mine then also.

 

I would also like to join in! Issue is, for me, it is going to take a while due to the fact that I enjoy reinforcing each team's draft pick. More than likely mine will be ready by Thursday.

 

You mortals that can't see into the future are pretty resourceful.

 

I can't wait; I'm getting pumped up so I'm going to give it a shot now.

1. Los Angeles Rams---------Jared Goff (Rams could throw a curve and actually take Wentz but I think they stay with the guy who seems most accurate.)

2. Philadelphia Eagles--------Carson Wentz (Screw you Sam Bradford )

3. San Diego Chargers-------Laremy Tunsil (this is my first tough call; they could easily go Ramsey)

4. Dallas Deadcows-----------Jalen Ramsey

5. Jacksonville Jaguars-------Joey Bosa

6. Baltimore Ravens-----------DeForest Buckner

7. San francisco 49ers--------Ronnie Staley

8. Cleveland Browns----------Myles Jack ( This is the toughest pick for me so far but I'm counting on the Browns making a bad pick like they normally do)

9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers-----Vernon Hargreaves

10. New York Giants------------Ezekeil Elliot

11. Chicago Bears---------------Leonard Floyd

12. New Orleans Saints---------Jarran Reed (I'm taking a crap shot on the Saints; they need so much)

13. Miami Dolphins--------------Kevin Dodd

14. Oakland Raiders------------Shaq Lawson

15. Tennessee Titans-------------Jack Conklin

16. Detriot Lions-------------------Laquon Treadwell

17. Atlanta Falcons----------------Darron Lee (Falcons still trying to get tough on defense)

18. Indianapolis Colts-------------A'Shawn Robinson (Colts have got to get that defense up to snuff)

19. Buffalo Bills-------------------Noah Spence (replacing Mario Williams)

20. New York Jets-----------------Paxton Lynch (With No future QB on the roster, Jets need options)

21. Washington Redskins---------Reggie Ragland (If your going to pay Norman, you'd better get some pressure on the opposiing QB)

22. Houston Texans---------------Corey Coleman (Need to get that double team off of Hopkins)

23 Minnesota Vikings--------------Eli Apple (Value pick for Vikings who need an upgrade in the division with Aaron Rodgers)

24. Cincinnati Bengals-------------Josh Doctson (Need to add a Marvin Jones replacement)

25. Pittsburgh Steelers------------Willie Jackson (Steelers add speed/height/athletic freak who instantly upgrades the NFL's worse secondary)

26. Seattle Seahawks--------------Cody Whitehair (gotta upgrade that O-line or Wilson is going to get hurt)

27. Green Bay Packers-------------Robert Nkemdiche (Gotta replace B.J. Raji but they get a better athelete in Nkemdiche)

28. Kansas City Chiefs--------------Mackensie Alexander

29. Arizona Cardinals---------------Sean Davis

30. Carolina Panthers---------------Artie Burns (Gotta replace Josh Norman but this could be a flip flop situation with the Cardinals above)

31. Denver Broncos----------------- Sua Cravens (took some defensive loses in free agency so the Broncos get a guy who can provide immediate help)

 

Sean Davis making the jump to round 1, bold move @Dean I like it.

 

Here's my revised draft:

1. Los Angeles Rams---------Jared Goff (Rams could throw a curve and actually take Wentz but I think they stay with the guy who seems most accurate.)

2. Philadelphia Eagles--------Carson Wentz (Screw you Sam Bradford )

3. San Diego Chargers-------Laremy Tunsil (this is my first tough call; they could easily go Ramsey)

4. Dallas Deadcows-----------Ezekiel Elliot

5. Jacksonville Jaguars-------Jalen Ramsey

6. Baltimore Ravens-----------DeForest Buckner

7. San francisco 49ers--------Myles Jack

8. Cleveland Browns----------Ronnie Staley

9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers-----Vernon Hargreaves

10. New York Giants------------Jack Conklin

11. Chicago Bears---------------Leonard Floyd

12. New Orleans Saints---------Jarran Reed (I'm taking a crap shot on the Saints; they need so much)

13. Miami Dolphins--------------Kevin Dodd

14. Oakland Raiders-------------Darron Lee

15. Tennessee Titans------------Jack Conklin

16. Detriot Lions-----------------Laquon Treadwell

17. Atlanta Falcons--------------Shaq Lawson (Falcons still trying to get tough on defense)

18. Indianapolis Colts-----------A'Shawn Robinson (Colts have got to get that defense up to snuff)

19. Buffalo Bills------------------Noah Spence (replacing Mario Williams)

20. New York Jets---------------Paxton Lynch (With No future QB on the roster, Jets need options)

21. Washington Redskins---------Reggie Ragland (If your going to pay Norman, you'd better get some pressure on the opposiing QB)

22. Houston Texans--------------Corey Coleman (Need to get that double team off of Hopkins)

23 Minnesota Vikings-------------Eli Apple (Value pick for Vikings who need an upgrade in the division with Aaron Rodgers)

24. Cincinnati Bengals------------Josh Doctson (Need to add a Marvin Jones replacement)

25. Pittsburgh Steelers-----------Willie Jackson (Steelers add speed/height/athletic freak who instantly upgrades the NFL's worse secondary)

26. Seattle Seahawks-------------Cody Whitehair (gotta upgrade that O-line or Wilson is going to get hurt)

27. Green Bay Packers-----------Robert Nkemdiche (Gotta replace B.J. Raji but they get a better athelete in Nkemdiche)

28. Kansas City Chiefs-----------Mackensie Alexander

29. Arizona Cardinals------------Sean Davis

30. Carolina Panthers------------Artie Burns (Gotta replace Josh Norman but this could be a flip flop situation with the Cardinals above)

31. Denver Broncos------------- Sua Cravens (took some defensive loses in free agency so the Broncos get a guy who can provide immediate help)

 

Left Leonard Floyd out of my first round. Slightly revised, still keeping it crazy. Just not THAT crazy.

 

Closed for submissions as LA is now on the clock..

 

*rips up my mock*

After Bosa went 3rd I realize the draft is very very unpredictable

 

yea no kidding, that 7 point trade scoring could have been a godsend or killer

 

I lost twrribly haha I think Dean won it

 

Yeah wow what a first round.

I'm still not over Bosa being 3rd overall. That guy just gives me the Manziel vibe tbh.

Except that he's talented. But idk. The dude in Cali and liking party drugs. Hmm.
