2014 Forum Mock: Discussion Thread

[Clutch Ravens]

I look forward to seeing team evaluations.

 

I'll at least get a mention for the sheer number of picks I made.

[-Truth-]

I'm happy to land Brandon Lloyd at this point. He may be a year removed from football, but he was a productive #2 over the few seasons before. At best, he'll be the #4 WR in my current group, and with his natural abilities, he should be a solid contributor. Dwight Lowery was a name that I didn't see in the Depth Chart thread, and that raised my eyebrow, as he's been an underrated, albeit injury prone starter in his last few seasons. I did the homework and found out that he was released in November and signed in April, obviously after our beginning date. He wasn't listed in the FA threads and likely slipped through the cracks from thereon. I'm very surprised to land someone of his caliber among my last selections. He's still 28, and will be battling with Ed Reed for the reserve FS position, one that should be easier on both of their bodies.

The Dolphins sign

K Shayne Graham

TE Zach Miller

Just giving you a heads up in that it's the other Zach Miller, not the one from Oakland and Seattle. You may know this already, but I recall that somebody accidentally bid on him in FA and the bid was allowed to be rescinded. If he's not the one you were targeting, feel free to replace him with another player.

Oh, I didn't... thanks

No problem.

[KDUBB44]

when is the other game starting?

After the Draft.

[Mt. Crushmore]

I'm officially done now as I have 90 players.

[52520Andrew]

Same here, I have 90 guys and I wouldn't be able to make any real cuts until training camp.

[-Truth-]

I've just had to make two cuts in order to sign my last two UDFAs. In the 90 club as well.

The Jacksonville Jaguars sign

S Chris Crocker

LB Paris Lenon

 

SAM will be heartbroken, as he has Crocker listed on his Depth Chart. I figured he re-signed him, but he must've not known that he was an FA.

I thought I did resign him

When I went through the FFA thread getting the list ready I didn't see him signed

[NFLfan123]

Damn Crocker was available? Beast in the slot

[Mt. Crushmore]

Thank you everyone for participating in this year's mock.  As always it was a great experience and I can't wait to do it again next year.  Special thanks to all the CoCo members, rmw (for the draft) and T3h (for the cap).  On to draft a franchise!

Winners.

[Mt. Crushmore]

I just went through and looked at the thread.  SAM's post signing Crocker was right after the over call.  I'm not to bothered so he can just have him.

It literally went in at the same time as Gabe's post there lol....

Thanks to everyone who took the time to make this run smoothly. This was definitely the best mock offseason yet. Everything was smooth, efficient, no major controversies, and despite all of that this was the most detailed and realistic so far. Well done everyone, see y'all in DaF.

Likewise!  Great time killer and an enjoyable process in a slow offseason.

 

I'll be sure to track draft picks from the start next year so it isn't such a mess.

Practically at the same time. But we've always counted every bid after the "Over" post as invalid. That being said, you could always ask a Moderator for the time stamps on the two posts.

Let SAM have him.

To echo Mt. Crushmore's sentiments, a big thank you to everyone who participated. The biggest thank you, however, is owed to T3hRaven, who chose to volunteer his services in order to keep track of every teams' salary cap. This process would've been a disaster in terms of book keeping otherwise, considering that we broke the record for most trades ever weeks ago.

Very generous of you. Good man.

Yep, big thank you to T3hRaven.  The whole process would have been a disaster without his constant checking of salary cap numbers.  I can't imagine ever volunteering for a job of that magnitude (with no compensation, at least ).

You're up there as well. You were as active as any CoCo member with regards to considering changes for the betterment of the process, and you kept track of the big threads. Thank you kindly.

[ravensdan]

Thanks to all involved. And all the owners this year who seemed to really try to put forward a good effort to make this a good game. It definately helps me through the draft process to stay current and find out about more deep prospects I would never look into otherwise. That said. I think I'm stopping short of the full 90 roster. Just didn't have enough time the lady week to research any deeper into the udfa.

[Clutch Ravens]

Enjoyed it this year, but felt that I had enough decisions to make with the players already on my roster. 

 

On a Mt Crushmore annoying note, Mike Mayock currently has Mr #100 (Jimmy Garoppolo) ahead of Bridgewater in his QB rankings.

Thats just stupid.

[rmw10]

So, is the goal of this game to build up an 11 man starting offense, and 11 man starting defense, the 3 specialists, and the one additional pick since there's a 26th round?

 

Essentially, I'm just trying to field a starting lineup with no backups?
