You may have been one pick too soon. Mind reposting it after the latest one?

With all of my suspended players, it'll be even more than that lol Speaking of which...

I was willing to stick around as long as the pace was going smoothly, and it looks like we've got that point, so me.

As they said in South Park: "You Rack Disciprine!" 

I ended up going 61 rounds last year because of a few suspensions and injuries.

I'm in at least 50. See if I can bring myself to do kickers. 

[allblackraven]

I'll go full roster, too

[rmw10]

If I could stop getting stuck on this late night/early morning shift, that would be great.

I like the Brown pick. I forgot to add him to my board.

[regz1997]

Will Redmond was one of my favorite players in this year's draft. His athletic ability mixed with his cover skills and hands really wowed me. His tape was solid, and early reports sound like he's a hard working guy who has lots of intangibles.

Ibraheim Campbell is reportedly starting at SS, and while he has some limitations in coverage, I thought he played well in general in his rookie campaign. I like how adept he is at taking proper angles and finishing through ball carriers when moving downhill. It doesn't hurt that Cleveland's website mentions that Campbell has taken on a leadership role both on and off the field.

Treat him well my friend. He was a late draft pick of mine last year in the forum mock.

I like the pick. I picked him for the Jets. The late acl tear is a concern and none of these medical red shirt players have worked out for the 49ers. Hopefully this kid is different

Yeah that bummed me out. I think you got him late in the 4th, correct? I was hoping he'd fall to my 5th rounder

That sounds about right. After looking back at past drafts I'm really starting to change my mind on the medical issue guys.  They just aren't working out and teams drop guys further for this reason than any other.

Technically, my post was accurate for all of 2 minutes. I'll take it.

Lol, nope. Technically, @rmw10 was on the clock but, since it was made at the same time as the next pick post, it could have been accurate for 58 seconds at best.

I have way too much time on my hands today.

I was admittedly reading the incorrect time stamps. That being said, technical accuracy was all I was aiming for, so it looks like I may have scraped by.

btw, @BmoreBird22 is on the clock

[Archeearl92]

just an idea for mext year, what about adding GMs and maybe position coaches?

 

 

[BmoreBird22]

Gonna figure out who I want real quick. Put in a holder so I didn't get skipped.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Thanks @-Truth- for making my selection. When I picked Lorenzo Mauldin a few rounds ago, I went back and forth between him and Jordan Jenkins. So, with Jenkins still around I had to pull the trigger. I really liked what I saw from him at Georgia and he just has that feel of a player who will be around for a long time. 

Despite losing Junior Galette to an injury, here is my DE corps: Michael Bennett, Devin Taylor, Lorenzo Mauldin and Jordan Jenkins.

Well, you are the GM and I think position coaches gets a little too deep.

Same, I've made very few of my selections here in the continuation.

I do wish we could select coordinators in the first 26 rounds. A good coaching staff can make all the differenc. Imagine if somebody could have a staff with Todd Bowles at DC, Bruce Arians at OC, and Belichick at HC. That's a huge investment but it brings another layer of strategy to the game.
