DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2015 NFL Season The NFL Draft 2015 Mock draft generator...you be the GM

Way too much offense.

Melvin Gordon III would be a swell guy to have, but I don't think it necessary.. I'm ok with the two guys we got (more so Crowell)

Plus, you forgot to draft The Giant Fullback From Alabama™

What you guys think about this mock? I went heavy with both OL and DL we need depth as well as some starters on both. I highly doubt we draft 3 OL, or 3 DL but my opinion that is where we need the most help. Our secondary is set, our LBs are solid, as far as the O we are set at RB West and Crowell are more than capable of holding off the need to draft another RB, Our WR core is solid with out additions of Bowe and Hartline....TE is a concern thats why I drafted the big guy Jesse James the dude is 6'7" and is athletic for his size....lets hear your thoughts DAWGS!

Please, somebody stop him...he's at it again. Oh, the humanity.

Paid the $5.95 for the premium generator, allowing me to make trades. Traded the 1-19 to the Titans for the 2-1, 3-2, and 5-2. Then in the sixth I was eyeing Pullard and Goodley, so I traded the 6-29 and 7-12 for the 6-14...but then Pullard was taken before my now back-to-back picks came up, so I ended up taking DePriest who probably would have been there at 6-29 anyway

I've come to realize how much I like a mock I do, is in direct correlation to Maxx Williams falling to #43.

I have been approaching these mock drafts taking a DT with one of the first round picks, the 2nd round at the latest. But Mariota was there at #12. I don't like the idea of trading up for him, but if he's there, take him and run. Then at #19, all the best DT were gone, and Parker was there, so I gave Mariota a weapon. I traded back in the 2nd. Having missed my favorite DT options, I took an ILB, and an edge rusher in the 3rd. The next 5 picks were all about offense, TE, line depth, our favorite FB, and a 2nd WR for 'Good'ley measure. The last picks were guys I don't know but filled the DT and OLB "needs." (I just missed Mbu.)

It can't hurt that both Mariota & Grasu, and McKinney & Smith are used to playing together.

Round 1 Pick 12: Danny Shelton, DT, Washington
-Huge at 6-2 and 340lbs.Could man the NT spot for 10 years. Our Vince Wilfork.

Round 1 Pick 23 (DET): Arik Armstead, DT/DE, Oregon
-I traded pick 19 to DET for pick 23 and their 2nd. 6-7 and athletic. Could become our Calais Campbell.

Round 2 Pick 11: Maxx Williams, TE, Minnesota
-Probably won't fall this far. Replaces Jordan Cameron easily. Him and Housler on the field could allow for two receiving tight ends on the field at the same time.

Round 2 Pick 22 (DET): Hroniss Grasu, C, Oregon
-Good center. Can replace Mack if he voids his contract after this season

Round 3 Pick 13: Devin Smith, WR, Ohio State
-Big play guy. Not a consistently good receiver but is a home run threat.

Round 4 Pick 12: Cedric Ogbuehi, OT, Texas A&M
-Can play both sides of the line.

Round 4 Pick 16: Lynden Trail, DE/TE, Norfolk State
-A project. He is 6-7 and played 3-4 LB in college and some TE. Played WR is high school. Worth the spot based on potential.

Round 5 Pick 11: Jalston Fowler, FB, Alabama
-Huge blocker

Round 6 Pick 13: Justin Manton, K, Louisiana-Monroe
-We need a kicker. Accurate in college

Round 6 Pick 26: Austin Hill, WR, Arizona
-Big receiver who could add some needed size to the WR corps.

Round 7 Pick 12: Cody Fajardo, QB, Nevada
-Athletic QB who could fit the mold for Flip

If I say so, with all the humility I can muster...I think this might be my best mock yet.

...and I wanted Steve to see the score I got for Goodley in the 7th!

Here are a few players that may be staring us in the face at pick 12:

Danny Shelton, NT. He would figure to be an upgrade. Taylor is a capable 2-down run stopper, but Shelton has the potential to be a huge game changing talent. Shelton may be bigger and quicker than Taylor at this point. And Taylor has missed 20 of the past 64 games and now enters a contract year. Kitchen would be the odd man out, but could still see playing time while Taylor would be asked to be more of a versatile player across the line. This would be a great pick, as long term depth along the D-line and especially at nose tackle is a primary need. Taylor and Kitchen will probably be free agents in eleven months.

Devante Parker, Kevin White, Amari Cooper, WR. Any of the three would be an upgrade for WR1 and WR2. Bowe was the one of the worst in the NFL last year at separating from coverage. And Hartline was terribly outplayed by a second rounder last year and there should be wide receiver talent available at picks 12, 19, and 43 that would qualify as upgrades to the players currently at the top of the depth chart.

Todd Gurley, Melvin Gordon RB. I'm a huge fan of Crowell and will bet on him going over a thousand yards this season if no other backs are added. Gurley though, and Gordon to an extent, could even be better players. All three have superstar potential. It would be fun to watch the depth chart sort itself out if a quality back is added in one of the early rounds.

Randy Gregory, OLB. Kruger was our sack leader and is pretty solid, so it might not be possible to upgrade his spot with a rookie. Mingo however has to prove himself this year. I'm willing to draw a line through his 2014 season and say he could play much, much better. In this draft, Fowler, Jr. and Beasley would almost definitely qualify as upgrades. Gregory looks like a freakish talent and might easily step right in and be the teams best pass rusher. Bud Dupree and Shane Ray probably would need some seasoning before they could overtake Mingo if he reverts back to his 2014 form.

Marcus Mariota, QB. There seems to be a lot of uncertainty when predicting where Mariota will land, and although unlikely, it would not be shocking to see him available at 12 in which case it would be hard to pass on him considering he would immediately become the most talented quarterback on the roster.

Brandon Scherff, La'el Collins, O-line. Both Scherff and Collins are extremely versatile players and either one would most likely immediately start somewhere on the right side. Greco and Schwartz are above average players, so it's hard to see the team taking a linemen very early, but there are so many quality ones in this draft class(others are TJ Clemmings and Andrus Peat) that either of the incumbents might be asked to switch positions or provide depth.



(end)

Now this one is absolutely ridiculous. Once again I traded the #19 for Tampa's 2-2, 3-1, and 5-26, giving me 2 picks in each of rounds 2-6. Then Mariota fell to 12. That has happened before, but what usually happens is the rest of the draft disintegrates. This time desirable players just kept falling to me.

I do not expect the Browns to use all 10 picks.. I expect them to package some of the lower picks to buy into rounds 2/3/4 and use a total of 6 picks overall. Given that.. I do like this 7 round draft with all 10 picks.

How the heck did you get Erving in the 3rd?

Some of the 'Big Boards' are whacked. I've pretty much stopped posting my runs, but my compulsive tendencies are currently manifesting themselves in my running 2-3 of these a day (need my fix.) I usually run the Composite, the FanSpeak, the CBS, or the Drafttek boards. I've paid the $6 one-time fee to be able to make trades. I'm currently on a kick of trading the #12 for a 2016 1st and a 2015 4th; and the #19 for a lower 1st and a 3rd. Then I try to trade up once or twice along the way with the goal of getting 7 picks in the first 5 rds with a 1st for next year.

Because he's a genius GM.

No offense meant, Tubby... just reemphasizes my point about these things.

no offense taken, I just ran with the simulator and took BPA with each pick. Not saying where I think these guys will go, 2 more weeks then the mocks disappear just like all the mock uniform pics.....come on preseason lol

This is the last one Im going to post til the draft. I would be happy if it turned out something like this as it helps fill alot of our problem areas...thoughts?

Did a straight draft using Walter's big board (a new choice on OTC.) Boy was I surprised when my late round hidden treasure came into view in the 3rd round. I guess Walter sees in Gwacham what I see. Of course this run is pure fantasy from the jump with Mariota falling to 12. If he's there, I gotta take him. Also, the early six was a choice between Conley and Fowler. I like Fowler, but I believe WR was more important than FB at that point.

ok I got bored and this simulator is addicting so here is one I just did using the draftcountdown big board....I could live with this..thoughts?

12: R1P12
WR DEVANTE PARKER
LOUISVILLE
When this pick was made I was torn between Danny Shelton and Parker. But felt that I could get a pretty good DT at 19 and felt that our need for a WR was more than DT with this pick.
https://youtu.be/zLa4Rip6Vrg

19: R1P19
DT MALCOM BROWN
TEXAS
After passing on Danny Shelton in favor of Devante Parker I felt good picking Malcom Brown with this pick. Other choice was OT Eric Flowers. But decided to go with BPA and a need and Brown answers both of those areas.
https://youtu.be/0hZPugCCguU

43: R2P11
OT ANDRUS PEAT
STANFORD
I dont see Peat slipping out of the first round but anything is possible on draft day. This was a no brainer for me after picking up two day one starters in the first round this pick virtually put Schawrtz on the bench where he belongs and give us 3 starters with our first 3 picks. Im headed into round 3 feeling good so far.
https://youtu.be/-t46LSMrNZ8

77: R3P13
QB BRYCE PETTY
BAYLOR
Round 3 the obvious need at QB still looms, and with Petty you are getting a play maker who will need some time to develop but you cant deny the kids got talent. And with time could be the guy at QB for the foreseeable future.

111: R4P12
DE TREY FLOWERS
ARKANSAS
Round 4 I decided we need to address our pass rush and was stoked to get Flowers here the kid has speed and decent against the run and pass. A rotational guy who could develop into a starter with experience and time.
https://youtu.be/P1nUlBSjm_8

115: R4P16
TE JEFF HEUERMAN
OHIO ST.
Jeff Heuerman give us the big play TE we need without reaching early for that Maxx Williams type player. Doesnt hurt the kid is a Buckeye.
https://youtu.be/9m6co2RNvPA

147: R5P11
DT JOEY MBU
HOUSTON
Round 5 Mbu was an easy pick and give us some more depth at the DL an area that was weakened with the departure of Rubin. Mbu is a solid rotational player with upside.
https://youtu.be/9m6co2RNvPA

189: R6P13
ILB TREY DEPRIEST
ALABAMA
While I think we have a very solid group at ILB we are going to have to start grooming another as Dansby isnt gettting any younger. Depriest is a pretty gritty LB who isnt afraid to get his hands dirty and hits hard.
https://youtu.be/nKuGGR8SwwM

202: R6P26
OLB ZACH HODGES
HARVARD
I honestly dont know much about this kid, But felt we needed some help at OLB as well and he was the highest rated OLB when I made this pick anyone who knows anything about him please feel free to comment and let me know if this was a good pick or not.
https://youtu.be/pXql2ZdA3zk

229: R7P12
C MAX GARCIA
FLORIDA
Alex Mack coming off an injury and possibly gone after this year so Garcia was my final pick. He would have a year to learn as much as he can from Mack and offers some versatility to play G if needed.

Well here was my newest mock and reasoning behind the picks, let me hear your opinions good, bad, ugly....slow time of the year right now, lets get deep into some draft discussion.

Based on the rankings at cbssports.com (had to pick an online baseline)

Players that should be available (with overall cbs rank in parenthesis)

1a) DeVante Parker (rank 12)--WR--Louisville---self explanatory

1b) La'el Collins (rank 23)--OT- LSU---again, topis has been well covered

2) Carl Davis (rank 52) --DE- Iowa---I still think Phil Taylor will be better at nose than end so Davis over Jordan Phillips (ranked 50...with back issues)

3) Denzel Perryman (rank 85)-- ILB-Miami---height concerns don't really mean as much with ILB to me as they apparently do with the internet scouts. To me the 2nd best ILB.

4a) Ben Koyack (rank 126)--TE- Notre Dame-- Still assuming a run on TE's early on day 3 and this kid reminds me of Heath Miller

4b) Kurtis Drummond (rank 141)--FS- Michigan State---Another year, another DB. Whitner will be 30 by the season's start and Gipson is a pending FA at year's end (though I'm hopeful of an extension) ATM, our safety depth is two special team guys (Poyer and Bademosi)

5) Obum Gwacham (rank 144)---OLB- Oregon State---Converted from a WR/Receiving TE, Gwacham is about as raw as it gets but super-athletic and seems to learn fast for one year of film...ps, it's oh-BOOM, not Oh-BUM

6a) Sean Hickey (rank 199)---OG- Syracuse--Yes, he played tackle in college but even then he clearly prefered to latch on to the defender than kick-step and hand-fight. Definitely a better guard prospect than tackle. Unfortunately, I can't find a later round backup center that peaks my interest.

6b) CJ Uzomah (rank 211)--TE- Auburn---yes another TE and yes quite raw, but, as may be apparent by my lack of drafting a center, in the later rounds need has absolutely no place in the decision. Besides, with the crap we might be putting out there on the field, I could argue that 2 TE's are needed...probably not, but...

7) Corey Grant (rank 290)--RB- Auburn ---limited experience catching the ball thanks to Auburn's system, but well built with undeniable speed and should immediately push for the return duties and gunning.

Sooo...not my most hopeful (based on a website's rankings after all) and a lot of day 3 projects, but then again...it's day 3, they're all projects.

I like it. I'm a fan of Davis, Perryman, Koyack and Gwacham. Drummond, Hickey, Uzomah, and Grant are names for me to research. Thanks.

I really like the idea of drafting ILB and DT early. This one had me taking Brown at #19 and Dawson at #43. I could have gone Kendricks at #19 and Davis at #43. I wonder which is the better combo? I took both an OT and C, where others have found a single player capable of backing up both positions. Again, I wonder which is the better approach? While I like Fowler, do we need to draft a FB? Same with Conley, do we need a 2nd WR over other positions? Gwacham is a steal here, but other boards have him ranked to go as early as the 3th.

Have you done one where you pick for another team and let the computer pick for the Browns?

I'd be interested in seeing what the computer comes up with.

Ask, and receive

I drafted for the Bucs. I took Winston first. The generator supplies a list of needs, which for TB was pretty comprehensive, so every round I simply took the highest ranked player at a position listed and nearly every time it was the highest player listed. Here is what the computer picked for Cleveland.

I actually don't hate that draft.

I like a Wr in round 2 but Funchess is probably not in my top 10 WR.
I doubt we pick 2 DT in the 1st round.
I like Orchard and White in those rounds.
Langford is my #1 underrated Rb in this draft.

I think we need to draft a center at some point. 1st for depth this year, 2nd to cover us if Mack opts to leave at the end of the season.

I'm OK with Shelton, Goldman is redundant, no to Funchess, like Orchard, like Grayson, don't know Langford (you like him, I will look him up), OK with White there, like Varga, like Diggs as a return man and back up slot receiver, and don't know Coleman.

Lately I have been working trades. I figure this draft is weak in terms of top talent, but rich in 2nd tier talent. So I have been trying to work trades to maximize the number of picks up to 150. This isn't my best effort in terms number and distribution of picks, but in teams of the players drafted, I think this is one of my better efforts. There were 2 reaches, Grayson with my only 3rd, and because I only had 2 defensive players before my last pick and Taiwan Jones was the highest ranked ILB (Hayes Pullard was still there, but ranked lower.)

You certainly did enough of these. This one, folks would be saying you didn't get Danny Shelton, instead, Malcolm Brown, but then ... later you get Joey Mbu, and I'm saying, that'd shut them up. If you get Mbu then what does Shelton offer you that Mbu doesn't

Wow! What does Shelton give you, at top of the first, that Joey Mbu, somewhere past the 100th selection doesn't.

I don't think anything. Which really blows my mind.

Either way, the fact they have Phil Taylor, Ishmaily Kitchen, and John Hughes, makes me sad about a Shelton pick if it happens, than in a year where they'd not have a plug stopper to play nose tackle.

Yeah...I can't help myself, after next weekend I'm going to need to go to rehab. Maybe JFF can make me a recommendation

I did the same thing as you and did a draft as the Bucs to see what the computer gave the Browns.

Round 1 Pick 10 (10) (STL) Browns: Randy Gregory, DE/OLB, Nebraska
Round 1 Pick 19 (19) Browns: Breshad Perriman, WR, UCF
Round 3 Pick 11 (75) (N.O.) Browns: Nate Orchard, OLB/DE, Utah
Round 4 Pick 7 (106) (CHI) Browns: Bryce Petty, QB, Baylor
Round 6 Pick 1 (177) (TENN) Browns: Blake Bell, TE, Oklahoma
Round 7 Pick 12 (229) Browns: Randall Evans, CB, Kansas State

I did it one more time to see if it would overlap at all

Round 1 Pick 12 (12) Browns: DeVante Parker, WR, Louisville
Round 1 Pick 19 (19) Browns: Andrus Peat, OT, Stanford
Round 2 Pick 4 (36) (JAX) Browns: Owamagbe Odighizuwa, DE/OLB, UCLA
Round 4 Pick 8 (107) (ATL) Browns: Garrett Grayson, QB, Colorado State
Round 4 Pick 11 (110) (MINN) Browns: Clive Walford, TE, Miami (Fla.)
Round 7 Pick 12 (229) Browns: Randall Evans, CB, Kansas State

I think I'd prefer the first draft. These were both on 1st pick and apparently to computer believes we are destined to make 6 picks
