Eagles (@eaglesnut) are OTC
That’s why I took Dieter even thought tackle isn’t a huge need nowI think the biggest thing mockers fail on is taking a position just to fill a position.
NFL draft teams often neglect needs because of value... NFL mockers often neglect value for need.
You just can't reach to fill a position with someone who you feel won't help ya much.
How does everyone like their draft so far?
For Broncos- I feel I hit on value and got some much needed positions. Problem with my draft is A. Denver has so many needs right now so can't fill them all. B. A few of the glaring needs the value hasn't been there. OG had a run on round 3, in which a lot of those guys I had grades on after round 3 so I missed out on them in the middle rounds, ILB the value was never really there for me... TE after the first few rounds I don't see many that I like much better then Troy Fumagalli who we took last year. That being said Denver can still use another TE with Jake Butt being undependable, but might have to look the street free agent route. Still a few I will consider with my last two picks, same with ILB. But I refuse to reach on a player I don't see helping much over value late. So we will see. Still a few left I think can help, just not sure they will be there when the value strikes to take them.
Bengals- Filled a huge need at LB... Wasn't expecting Daniel Jones to be in there in round 2, for the better of the mock and value I took him for the Bengals. Rd 3 was a bit stuck needing to fill OT, took MCGary. Wasn't crazy on the value but it was about where I had him going and a major need. Didn't wanna miss out and wait until round 4 where I had OT's rated much lower, didn't think the valeu would be there. Love the value on Khalen Saunders in round 4 who I think could go as early as round 2. Filled a need at a decent value spot in LSU TE Foster Moreau in rd 5. After I took him I sorta regretted not taking Iman Marshall who was also great value at a need, but it also makes round 6 and 7 more fun for a DB lover like myself.
I like the one you got too. Above average athlete for the position, a bit undersized. . . Heart of a lion and a born leader. Definitely had him on our shortlist.Saints @eaglesnut are OTC
Chiefs finally pick up a Safety. Honestly not sure how big of a need this is for the Chiefs but after it was leaked that they were heavily interested in Earl Thomas then its pretty obvious that they'll draft one at some point.
Blame Draft Crazy because I had Te'von Coney lined up and Johnson was my plan BI was all set to take Johnson. Will pick in five mins.
Great value on Johnson. I couldn't pass if he was still there.
