2016 Draft a Franchise: Discussion Thread

[-Truth-]

Sucks to lose out on Jones. He would've been my next selection.

no way in Hell Cleveland starts next year with Manziel and/or McCown.

Sounds like a guy that really likes Manziel.

Thanks for the Phil Rivers love guys. He's a great QB, and he's done a whole lot with not much 

Definitely a steal.

[52520Andrew]

Was considering Rivers heavily had Donald been gone

[ludy51]

Yeah, Revis is 30 years old, but he's still a beast.

@PaRAYdise is up (cc: @Archeearl92 and @Ozzsome)

Still a top CB, but I think he finally started to show some signs of decline last year.

A Revis in some decline is what most CB's dream of being

[52520Andrew]

Getting to the point now where people's boards will start diverging more and more.

No doubt, I just wonder if it will be a steady decline or if he eventually hits a wall. Given that he's such a technician I'd lean to steady decline.

He should have at least another 3 years left from what it looked like. He should also provide great veteran leadership

Revis is a decent pick but I agree he is in decline just my opinion I would have personally had a few other DB's ahead of him but to each their own and that's what makes this fun.

How does this mean I hate Manziel? He was put in a position to fail I clev. Bad locker room presence and no leadership to guide him. Again can I get an explanation as to why my pick was deleted?

[Mt. Crushmore]

I guess I should start figuring out who I want at my 2nd rd pick

Well you did take him with the 636th pick last year. What exactly has Manziel done to make it worth taking him more than 600 picks earlier?

This is the 3rd forum game in a row with an incident.

Last year's DaF: You never finished an picked Manziel late after you'd been skipped multiple times and didn't have a full roster

This year's forum mock: The cutting of Stafford and others 

This year's DaF: Manziel

When you figure that out, let me know so I can open the scoring of our little competition

Lol. I remember @rmw10 and I were good at stealing each other's players when we were back-to-back

@regz1997  Like the pick.  I almost took Rivers with my first pick but decided to go with youth.

 

Muhammed Wilkerson is one of the elite lineman in the league and plays all over the Jets front...for now, considering he most likely won't be with the team after this season.  I'm surprised he made it to my pick. 

Great pick. Great player. Stole my photo. Haha.

I love this game and all it's drama lol

Ezekiel Elliot off the board?!?  Noooo!

[ludy51]

Way too early for Elliot IMO

Only time will tell man, if he really lights it up it could be right on time

I think so too. I was thinking of over drafting him too but this is super early. Fact is he's going to be a game changing player though.

Lights it up? If he does it'll be in large part due to the offensive line he's running behind.

Of course that plays a part, but being a good runner isn't the only reason he was drafted top 5. The guy has great hands, quickness and understands pass protection exceptionally well. I wouldn't have grabbed him this early, but I kinda get it.

Yeah I think we're on the same page when it comes to his draft stock. But I do think it's perhaps a misleading pick because if Elliot becomes a star behind the legendary Dallas line, it doesn't necessarily mean he would do the same thing in this game if the hypothetical team drafted around him has a patchwork line.
