Italian Raven

I think it was more his inability to fullfill the expectation as a first round pick rather than his late injury. Afterall he didn't change position as he keeps lining up as a 4-3 DE, nor he has a better core around to justify any reduction of pressure. Why didn't he perform the same in Denver? Statistically, PFF has him playing just 350 snaps facing almost no double-teams and recording a final -1.9 against the run. So I think the PFF ranking is just too generous and doesn't consider the lesser level of the match-ups he recently faced or how much the playcall can have helped him.

Very good pick. Probably the best T available. I also liked the Melvin Ingram pick. He's no top tier, but had games in which he looked unblockable (Denver, New England, Seattle); plus, he's young and he plays in the less talented Dline in the league (the only good one is Liuget, but even he can't show up as he's mostly lined up at 0T or as a DT when they set a 4 men front, while he's a 3T).

You're up in half an hour then.

I think he's on a 6h skip, but I can be wrong.

Great value in Shields. If medically cleared up, he is a very good player.. my second left on board.

I entirely agree.

Great pick in Graham.

I did, 1 millisecond after you opened the thread

Same here.

There's a player who I'm extremely surprised to see still available. Too bad I forgot to write him down on my board, I would have taken him over Ware in a heartbeat.

Ye sure, even in 2-3.. it wouldn't be fair to evaluate him on a 1year basis only (look at Wagner). If this pans out yours starts to be a very solid Oline.

I watched the 5x08 two hours ago... I still keep nerdgasming. I can't make names (I know this rule ) , but I remember people and scouts accordingly sharing the same feeling toward those linemen who have struggled..but hey, maybe he turns to be a steal. No hate, just a different approach to the game; I'm a little more conservative.

Ye, probably I would do the same. Just saying that there were few other Olinemen I would have gone with at this point and that I generally prefere 'certainties' to high-risk/ high-reward picks.

Honestly, I would have waited 2-3 more rounds to snatch him since there are 4-5 good (and proven) Ts still left on board. Sure.. the upside, but how many other linemen taken in the top10 in these past few years had it and actually rank in the bottom of their category rankings? Bust? Homerun? We'll see.. the risk is high and full of terrors.

Now that my most asinine side came out I'm pretty sure this won't happen twice ;D Thanks for clearing it up.

Oh Jaizuz... fry me.. idk why I kept doing ALT+F7 (obviously with no result) today instead of ctrl F.. At least I got the F right XD Let's just delete it totally and have me losing a turn? Don't know how you guys use to do.

Oh.. how does that even work now? I even checked through the last rounds and didn't see him...

Oh boy.. This run on safeties and centers killed me.. I think I'm gonna line up my grandma in front of Tannehill. Love the Curry pick btw.. Huge potential if you let him play in his (more comfortable) 4-3.

With the 247th overall pick, the Banana Republic select: Martavis Bryant, WR

Wow two highly rated players off my board.. It starts to get thin.

Eheh my bad.. I did my best considering it was 23 here and had a 'tough' night ahead. I'm even surprised I got the right picture tbh.

With the 182nd overall pick, the Banana Republic select: DeAndre Levy, ILB

I like the idea, even tho judging each team on a one-SB-run basis isn't probably the ultimate goal of this specific game (for those already mentioned reasons). If we consider the simulation as a partial judgement only, why not, it would be fun imo.

With the 139th overall pick, the Banana Republic select: Corey Liuget, DE
