    This is the signup thread for the 2016 DaF game on the board.

    If you don't know what it is, 32 forum members come together and have a draft of current NFL players.  There will be 26 rounds in a snake-style draft.  The order will be randomized after all 32 people have signed up.

    There are relatively few rules.  There is no trading of picks, you have 12 hours to pick and you must post a roster.

    If you want to see what the draft looked like a previous year, here is a draft thread: http://boards.baltimoreravens.com/topic/58542-draft-a-franchise-the-draft/

    As RaineV1 said, this is a huge case of potential risk vs reward. Clearly the Jaguars, a team on the rise with several big free agent additions, felt it was able to take those type of risks. Ramsey has got to find a home and I think it'll be at safety over corner, honestly, just because when I watch him, he's very impressive with leveraging his man to the boundary and always keeping his eyes on the quarterback, but when guys are able to explode off the line and get to the inside, it's not as great. I think he's going to be a damn good strong safety who can use his speed to erase tight ends, blitz, defend the run, and essentially play a rover type role. I really do like that pick if he can just find a home.

    With Jack, I know a lot of Jaguars fans and some analysts are treating it like it was no big deal for an injury, but a meniscus tear takes about 3-4 months to heal with surgery and Jack was having these chondral defects something like six, seven months later, so it is a major area of concern. Will he play again? Absolutely. However, how well will he play upon return? Will his knee bother him? What happens when that cartilage rubs away entirely from the intense rigors of the NFL and his bone rubs on bone? I know a lot of those fans want to treat it like it's no big deal, but as Ravens fans know with Pitta, a repeat injury, especially something that has a pre-existing condition, can happen at any time and essentially derail your career.

    With Ngakoue, I just can't get too behind it because Jacksonville is almost assuredly going to ask him to be an on ball linebacker and he has very little length as compared to what you'd want, so he's going to get locked out a lot by defenders. On top of that, he's a short strider without much real burst and many of his sacks were just because he went unblocked or the Terps secondary covered for so long.

    On paper, the Jaguars got two top 10 players in the first 36 picks and they got a pass rush specialist in the third, but a lot of that will depend on their DB finding a true home and their ILB trusting his knee and not sustaining further damage.

    I think the Jaguars' took two of the riskiest players with their first two picks. Ramsey is more of than athlete than a great player, as shown by his lack of splash plays. He could turn out to be amazing, or a disappointment. And Jack might never play at the speed he used to, or he'll be the best linebacker in the NFL. Very high potential for reward, but it's far from a sure bet.

    Ramsey will not live up all those expectations because of the program the Jaguars run. Prolific coaching isn't what there are known. I also wasn't as high as most after seeing film of his tackling style and propensity to start quacking after a stop leads me to believe he'll be a penalty nightmare. He's already cocky without playing a single down in the NFL. After he's burned by an AB or Bryant I'm wondering if he won't questioning his own game as well as the draftniks and pundits.

    I'm routing foe Jack because he seems humble and hungry to succeed to prove to himself he didn't suffer a career ending injury and hopes to have great career.

    I like underdogs and he's one of two which includes my boy Smitty.

    What I find mildly amusing is that people seem to think they know more about Jack's knee than the NFL FOs (not just Ozzie, but the 29 other guys who let him get to the Jags' second pick). Having an opinion about him is fine, but as fans it's all just speculation for us. You and I and everyone else are just random nobodies on the internet, while FOs have access to the full medical report on his knee and specialists to interpret it and offer the best input on whether he'll hold up to the rigors of an NFL training program and the knocks he'll inevitably take. The best access we get to that is guys like Ian Rapoport giving a one-sentence summary based on what they've heard, yet there are people acting like passing on Jack was a colossal mistake like they know something Ozzie (and the other GMs) don't. I know GMs aren't infallible, but this is one of those cases where, despite my opinions, I'll 100% defer to them.

    Well said.

    Does anyone know a hybrid like linebacker/safety that wasn't drafted or maybe released via numbers cut downs, teams deep @ positions, currently on our roster or could be transitioned into such a player?

    There are so many packages they could develop and employ it not funny. We could and should also employ a version of a hybrid corner. A look into the un draftees may yield such a player. They'd compliment the roster very very well.  Someone who could play linebacker and safety with build and technique. I think we missed the boat on Cravens.

    I see Kaufusi & Correa being asked to drop into coverage frequently.

    I can see the frontline D with strictly pass rushing ability on an all out blitz (Occasionally). 

    Suggs/Kaufusi/Ocho/Correa/Doom with strong safety shooting the gaps.

    Do you honestly believe Dean Pees will attempt to re-implement organized chaos?

    Yes because I thought personally that it offered the best chance for success against the din and dunk. I also believe that age in the line up prevented the schemes from hitting home. I see the more agile linebacker with length as the missing links. Xplortation of the Oline and QB reads pays big dividends and was the play altering strategy in defeating Pittsburgh/New England before the distinct decline in RAy and ReEd. If you look at the draft picks most recent you'll notice a a little tweener in there builds and are not the prototypical builds coveted by most teams. They aren't that far off but BK and KC could go up or or down in weight. Ocho is piece we'll and keep (PS) that also fits that mold. The corner reminds of a young Webb that blitzed occasionally. I see QB hurries as being the focal point not just sacks. They amount to turnovers and field advantages. This year, keeping fresh legs in the line up will help thwart the rookie wall and result in a lessened learning curve. The Vets will mentoring while sipping water from the bottle. If the rookies are observing the game while on the sideline and not sitting on the bench after they made a big play/had a fumble and it got returned for a TD. They will learn to rebound and enhance themselves and the team via real time game study. Is it live or is it memorex. Play LIke a Baby Raven and learn all day and all night. 

    I'd make the Teams facility Dinning Hall's menu a playbook. 

    If you want a cheeseburger. That's= Double Bull on Moo's hyperbole California 500 acres of dry bed.

    Means Double cheeseburger with extra cheese and tomato with no condiments on it.

    Don't learn it and you won't eat what you order. 

    We'll know who's hungry after practice.

    Yeah he is carrying about 20lbs of bad weight. He could be a steal ifbhe gets in top shape. Cuz he has movement skills for a tall guy. Just do not let thev285lbs trick you. He is no 3-4 defensive end.He has a 4-3 defensive end body maybe even rush olb. He will gain a couple steps if he cuts the bad weight. And could be a double digit sack guy if he gets in top shape. And could easily play at sub 4.7 speed at about 260-265 for the rush olb positions. If ravens play 4-3 it would fit him to lose 20 lbs of bad weight and then add about 10-12 lbs of muscle to play at a leaner stronger more explosive  270-275.  He has MASSIVE potential if he gets in top shape. It is the Correa pick I do not like. To often he was washed and showed zero agility to catch his balance and fight back. His best chance in my opinion is going to be as a 4-3 strong side LB that excels in blitzing and range. Kinda like the Peter Boulwsre role.

    Both will be tooled into hybrid bodies. Great length on both.  Agree about the need to chisel up but I see the need in the upper biceps and possibly the hands/forearm for tackling purposes. Pee's has to incorporate unconventional training and mindset to his positional coaches and be succinct in the process. Every player in the nearby vicinity should know how to play and adjust to the adjacent players assignment/tendencies/cues/strengths & weaknesses of which the football IQ of each player on any given play seems innate and natural. Organized Chaos equates to controlled demolition of the opponents play books. If New England brings an orthodox look to the line we counter with one of our own. 

    Example; Tackle reports as eligible. We put a safety on him and bunch the line away from the eligible player with middle being completed misaligned. Head games can work both ways. Let the chess match begin.

    Woah. 

    So maybe he's not a backup in case Perriman is injured?  Maybe we groom him to replace Smith?

    I caught glimpses of Cincys games and dude straight up balled. He was the often targeted, open, moved the chains and scored. He will be on this team and surpass Aiken on the depth chart. Line up will be Perriman/Wallace/SSsr/Moore/Aiken/?/?

    I think Camp is a Camp cut because he'll break a nail or something. Marlon is a camp body to save ware and tare on the likely keepers.  And I even see a s;leeper acquisition via vet FA. Posssibly Boldin if SSsr isn't quite ready to go. Two vets of that caliber would bode well for mentoring and good measure. Showing the young ins how to produce via banging DB's in the mouth and playing mind games trash talk, practice habits and demeanor should be instilled day one.

    You guys are beating a dead horse. Bury him and move on. I remember The Tyrann Mathieu non pick burned my grits but you at sometime have to let it go. We all lost some favorites in this draft. But most of our roster is from picks basically never heard of. My last words about Jack are they didn't value him as high due to injury and we should all hope he has a great career regardless of whom he plays for. May the best team win………..
