Is that using Tony Reali scoring?

I'm not a fan of your smarmy retort. You dont want to be muted, do you?

[Brothgar]

BB def. saw what I was going for in this draft. Its too bad that the Osi Trade fell through being 10 picks off.

[fenikz]

i drafted tyreke evans and gerald henderson in the 2nd round!

[RaiderNation]

Raiders clearly won this forum mock. We somehow managed to get into the draft and got a underrated prospect in Jake Bequette. He is an upgrade over Trevor Scott at DE and will instantly be put into our dline rotation.

[Shane P. Hallam]

I think Louis Murphy won this draft.

[comahan]

BB, when are you gonna tell me how bad I butchered the Texans draft?

I need to know!

[BeerBaron]

I'll try and do the AFC tomorrow at work. SHOULD be slow...last day before the holiday. We'll see.

[Unbiased]

Damn Shane just put Ryan Steed on his not-so-hot list.

Dude got TORCHED by Florida. He didn't even look like he belonged on the same field. Obviously you don't want to over-react but it was the kind of awful game that will stick in scouts' minds.

Really was not his type of game. Showcased that Steed can have a role in the NFL, but he probably isn't a #1 corner by any means and likely needs developing to even be a starter.

[Matthew Jones]

Y'all should have another one of these soon! Had I noticed the topic, I would have loved to draft for New England.

[BeerBaron]

I tried to make it well known that it was going on. It's hard to hit everyone...I know I've missed them in the past just by not noticing it was going on.

[Shane P. Hallam]

No worries BB, you did an awesome job running it, for sure.

[comahan]

Fair grade, though I have to say that as long as McNutt has a pulse, he's probably better as a Wide Receiver than Jacoby Jones. Jacoby is a good punt returner, but as a WR? Ugh.

Agreed, nice work BB.

[vidae]

Very nice work BB, but I think you typo'd on the Chiefs grade. It says B- but I'm sure you meant to put an A+ there. No rush, just change it at your leisure. :D

[TitanHope]

Fair enough grade for the Titans. I had to settle for Plan B or worse for my first three picks. Wanted DeCastro or trade down in the 1st, one of the DE's (Mercilus, Ingram, Jenkins) or Hightower to drop in the 2nd, and Cole to drop in the 3rd. Looking back, I'm kicking myself for not trading up to the beginning of the 2nd. Some very good defensive talent fell there. Thankfully, I was still able to land good players and help out Locker a ton, so I'm pleased.

[draftguru151]

B- :(. I'd have considered trading up, but there are like 6 good player in this draft and 3 are QBs. Also the Pats have an asston of holes. Don't worry though I'll trade Hoyer for 2 2nds next year and trade up for Jarvis Jones. ;)

I liked the Upshaw pick and Kendall Wright in the second. Brandon Thompson is not a two-gap player; he reminds me of Corey Liuget. Markelle Martin was a huge reach based solely on positional need; he doesn't have acceptable diagnostic ability and his only value is in his length and athleticism. Jaye Howard could be a decent player but that was a reach as well. Same with David Molk. Next time I'd focus less on drafting specific positions and more on getting good values at each spot. Good grasp of the team needs, but the evaluation of fits and values needed work.

Upshaw - A-

Thompson - C

Martin - C-

Wright - A

Howard - B-

Molk - C+

[ncst8fan83]

I'll take my A and look forward to the Spring Forum Mock. Can't wait. Great job putting this one together, BB.

[RaiderNation]

Fair rating for Oakland. This season would be the big determinating season to see if this draft has worked out in or favor. Bequette's stock is rising quickly and by April it could be viewed as a steal from where I got him. He will replace Trevor Scott who has really lost a step after hurting his knee last season.

[redbills]

getting a top 5 player at 17 = A

[fenikz]

i'd give him a top 15 grade but nothing more and that's just assuming he has a great combine like most expect

top 5 are most certainly Luck, Kalil, Barkley, Claiborne & Richardson

[comahan]

I'm hesitant to even call Coples a 1st rounder. Dont like him at all.
