How do you get a C when only one grade was not an A?

How do you get a C when only one grade was not an A?

It's not really about just the pick grades; it's about the number of points you amass and where that puts you in relation to the other teams. So, only 6 picks may not get you enough points. If you look below the grades, there is a summation of all the teams' points in the draft.

 

[shopson67]

Unfortunately, missed on getting a solid center (none left after picking in the 5th, should've tried waiting on Peake). Houston-Carson and Henry have some real upside for late defensive picks IMO. Surprised Carroo was still there at 4.12, that was an easy pick lol.

Your score is: 8238 (GRADE: B-)

Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 1: Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State (A+)
Round 4 Pick 12: Leonte Carroo, WR, Rutgers (A+)
Round 4 Pick 22 (WASH): Jerell Adams, TE, South Carolina (A)
Round 5 Pick 19 (WASH): Charone Peake, WR, Clemson (A-)
Round 6 Pick 2: DeAndre Houston-Carson, FS, William & Mary (A-)
Round 6 Pick 15: Willie Henry, DT, Michigan (A)

How You Matched Up:
1. San Francisco 49ers - 8876
2. Philadelphia Eagles - 8819
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - 8817
4. Jacksonville Jaguars - 8713
5. Denver Broncos - 8597
6. New Orleans Saints - 8479
7. Arizona Cardinals - 8477
8. New York Giants - 8400
9. Los Angeles Rams - 8238

 

[TEB11]

1 (1) – Jared Goff, QB, California
4 (110) – Ronald Blair, DE, Appalachian State
4 (113) – Maurice Canady, CB, Virginia
6 (177) – Jordan Payton, WR, UCLA
6 (190) – Austin Blythe, OC, Iowa

TEB - You may or may not be aware that your mock draft is exactly the same as CBS Sportsline's Dane Brugler from his 7 round mock draft posted yesterday.

Looks good, I want the WR from Germany though

 

[bluepigpen]

More and more people are talking Goff to the Rams. Even Kurt Warner said that Goff would be better suited for the Rams.

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

More and more people are talking Goff to the Rams. Even Kurt Warner said that Goff would be better suited for the Rams.

this is what is going to have the board torn. some view Wentz as the player with more upside. some view Goff as more NFL ready.

this is why making this trade was so crazy because neither QB should be playing for at least a year, possible two.

it really is going to come down to whether the Rams are willing to wait for a QB to develop ( Wentz ) or want the QB that they can start maybe by midseason ( Goff ).

I think the Rams are looking at Goff just because they need a QB sooner rather than later. however, if Wentz can develop and acclimate to the NFL, he may end up being the better QB of the two. I just don't think the Rams are willing to wait ( especially with what they gave up to draft said QB ).

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

Ok guys. Don't kill me on this one, but I decided to have a little fun. Balt offered 2 1sts and a 2nd to move up. Obviously they weren't taking a QB, so I took it. Got offered a 2nd and 3rd for my 2nd and a 4th. And a couple others minor ones late. I wanted the German WR/TE for the 7.1 pick but he was already gone.

Your score is: 8501 (GRADE: B-)

Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 6 (BALT): Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State (A+)

Round 4 Pick 15: Kolby Listenbee, WR, TCU (A)
Round 6 Pick 15: Tavon Young, CB, Temple (A+)
Round 6 Pick 18 (TENN): Dadi Lhomme Nicolas, OLB, Virginia Tech (B)

I view Wentz as both more ready and with the higher upside. Goff is the more polished passer, but is coming out of a spread, which is alien compared to the Rams' passing game.

No matter which is chosen, I can get behind either. I like both, just not sure about Goff's fit, scheme-wise.

Regardless, it shouldn't affect these mocks. We know QB is going #1, this is more about trying to estimate who will be left on day 3 of the draft.

He's a tough gauge. I have been looking to add him late, but either was not offered a trade down to get one more pick or he was already taken between my picks. Tough to nail down his ADP just yet.

6 (177) – Jordan Payton, WR, UCLA

Not sure where he will actually go but I would absolutely take Payton in the 6th. round.

Dude is the all time UCLA WR, and tied JJ Stokes single game reception record of 14 catches in a game. The guy just snags the ball out of the air, great hands!

Funny RamCub, I never go on that site anymore and had no idea, seriously! That is funny though.

When will the Rams realize that UCLA has some very good talent? First, they whiffed on Hundley and now if they don't take this guy, they really are a couple of boneheads.

 

[shopson67]

Here's one with 2 first round trade-downs, ending at #5. Trades weren't necessarily equal value (should've gotten more in return to move from 1-3 for sure, but I gave it a whirl). Ramsey #1, Wentz #2, Tunsil #3, Jack #4. Could've gone Thomas or Boyd at 2.7, but both were gone by 3.3. Traded down again in the 6th to get an extra pick for the Unicorn.

Your score is: 8410 (GRADE: B-)

Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 5 (JAX): Jared Goff, QB, California (A+)

Nailed this one except for taking MoBo. Took the Baltimore trade again. DH would give the Rams a deadly 1-2 punch at RB.

[ANGELAKERAMS]

And this one too. Trade with Jax initially and got 2 1st's and a 2nd. Draft had Clev take Goff and Dal take Wentz, so I kept trading down to recoup the draft picks we lost. Ended up with 5 2nd rounders. Traded 4 2nds and a 4th for Clev's 2.1 and their 1st next year. Had I not taken Lynch because obviously the Rams intend to draft a QB, I would've been over 10000.

Your score is: 9845 (GRADE: A-)
