2016 Draft a Franchise: Discussion Thread

It seems crazy to me how he keeps losing jobs considering his play on the field.  It clearly doesn't look like it's affected him thus far.  I can see concern if you were talking about signing him to a big money, long term deal.  Just seems bizarre.

Same here. It's one of the situations where I'd love to know what's going on behind the scenes and what we're missing. Bizarre indeed.

I was wondering if someone would draft Boykin now that he's signed. He's been good, but the fact that Carolina signed and cut him already this offseason is concerning.

The forum mock Panthers didn't cut him.  However, they did significantly overpay.  #ThugLife

Before waking up of course.

I think my team would do well against the remaining teams. 

Like I said before, most of these teams are really balanced.

Skip me again please. I'll make my next pick in a separate post that way it's obvious I've made my pick

Man I was just looking at Keenan Lewis. If he's healthy he's a major steal.

Thanks man. I was really surprised when I realized he hadn't been picked yet. He and Delvin Breaux should make a good team in New Orleans if, like you said, he's healthy.

As always, my board rests with @allblackraven, @rmw10 and @-Truth-, though I should be around to pick.

I was considering him myself. Good pick up. My only concern was with the struggles he endured in 2014 before the injury-plagued season that followed. Would've picked him up if my CB duo was a little younger collectively.

He was technically my highest rated CB back when I took Skrine in the 26th round, but I wanted someone who could go in the slot.

Eli Harold didn't do much last year, but apparently he put on 20 lbs. of muscle this offseason.  I don't know how it will turn out, but I won't say no to taking a chance on pass rush.

[rmw10]

If this was a real team, this would be my draft from last year:

Round 1, Pick 8: Vic Beasley
Round 1, Pick 15: Melvin Gordon
Round 3, Pick 67: AJ Cann
Round 3, Pick 68: Clive Walford
Round 3, Pick 79: Eli Harold
Round 4, Pick 131: Shaq Mason
Round 5, Pick 137: Grady Jarrett

[rmw10]

And we might as well just make it 3 posts in a row...

@LosT_in_TranSlatioN is on the clock, followed once again by @BmoreBird22, @allblackraven, and @ravensdan on the turn.

I think Leodis McKelvin is a major steal at this point especially with Schwartz as his DC

More like hand-to-face.

Thanks @-Truth-. Adam V was the last K I felt pretty confident in, and I had him rated over a lot of kickers that had already gone. I know I won't get much long term from him, but he was still one of the best kickers in the league last year. Plus, he gives me another former NE guy for Belichick.

He was on my short list when I draft Skrine, when I was looking for a SCB.

Karlos Williams was a guy I was interested in, but then I found out he got fat and got suspended.

I think I'd rather take my chances hoping Mckelvin gets healthy than taking a chance that Buster Skrine ever improves.

I've always liked McKelvin, but he can't help you if he isn't on the field. 13 missed games last 2 years and 4 straight seasons not playing all 16 and he'll be 31 in Sept. I know Skrine isn't the best, but as a #3 CB with 2 pretty good CBs outside of him I think he'll play fine for me.
