In light of the Draft, I feel like the second round was probably my strongest round. Getting Sheldon Rankins + Karl Joseph, both early-mid first rounders I feel like those two were steals in light of getting Bosa on top of both of them. 

That is a seriously good haul. You killed it. 

[ravensdan]

I think my Zeke pick at 20 is by far the steal of our draft. I would have taken Lee too but Zeke way too good to pass up regardless of need. 

 

Also so loving my Ifedi pick basically a full round later. I think he'll turn out as a steal also

@berad (or any other mod really), you can unpin all of the stuff in the Fantasy Talk section as we are done with the forum mock.

Yeah those were great picks! Ezekiel Elliot is a game-changer on offense, and Ifedi could very well become a stud RT that blows open holes for Zeke.

That link for a previous draft in parent post is from 2014. Not that it matters much but this one is better because I didn't draft EJ Manuel as my QB:

Yeah, I just copied all of the post from last year.

Now that the season is over, it's fun to look back at our forum mock and how the draft went compared to the real draft. Have to say, you have the steal of the draft with Elliott at 20. Dak Prescott wasn't even taken until the sixth round by the Chargers. At least the Chargers owner in this mock found their franchise QB after Rivers in Prescott. Tunsil was taken at 4, boy I wonder if that video came out before the real draft and before our Forum Mock Draft if Tunsil would have fell like he did in real life. The one that really baffles me is how Leonard Floyd fell to the second round.

Get ready ya'll.  2017 sign ups will be coming soon.  We're bumping the game back ever so slightly this year so we can get those cap updates.

Good... we've always started early and always to had adjust caps after we started. Already been thinking about the teams I want this year.

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

Very excited!

[ravefan52]

I'd like to think my team would have similar success as the real falcons. I don't have Schraeder or Mack on the offense, but Kouandjio was much much better this year and Nick Martin was promising before getting hurt. Hunter Henry was a big addition at TE too.

Defense is pretty similar. Thurmond retiring hurts though a healthy Shaq Lawson could be a great duo with Beasley.

Good news for the game: given the nature of the names of the draft prospects all the puns will be made

Just throwing a tag out to everyone that played last year.  We're getting ready to get this thing up and running over the next few days so be on the lookout for the signup thread.  There's a good chance we might be needing some new members this year, so it may take a little longer to fill up this year.

As long as it's enough time to get the cap straightened out before we begin so nobody will have to readjust  later on then I'm good.

Anybody knows whether $168M Spotrac is operating with as a salary cap for '17 is their best guess or they might have some inside info from NFL/owners?

Goodall said today the cap was jumping $15M and would be over $170M.  It was a touch over $155M last year so that number isn't too far off.
