A place to post/discuss your "On the Clock" mock drafts. I find this tool a fun way to learn more about the players in the upcoming draft.

http://fanspeak.com/ontheclock/

My first this year...I used the CBS big board. I was disappointed with what was left at OT when I picked. I thought a kicker in the 4th and punter in the 7th who might both be upgrades were pretty good picks for a team with decent depth and youth at a lot of positions. Those are picks that pay dividends in year 1 despite being a 4th and 7th round selection. Couldn't turn down Hargreaves at 23. Elliott was an option, but its tougher to find a CB than a RB by a longshot. Killebrew in the 6th would be great, Forrest in the 7th is a project with intriguing athleticism for Zimmer.

This was fun....
I also do this using www.first-pick.com
So here was my go of it (I will do this probably 500 times before the draft)

1- DT A'Shawn Robinson Alabama
2-WR Corey Coleman Baylor
3-OT Kyle Murphy Stanford
4- OT Jerald Hawkins LSU
5- C Ryan Kelly Alabama
6- S Deandre Houston-Carson William & Mary
7- QB Kevin Hogan Stanford
7- QB Trevone Boykin. TCU

I generally went BPA with a little overkill on the OL. I however think that we need to bring in the best competition for each OL position. Also, the 2 QB's in the 7th round really give 2 drastic type of styles. We have Teddy, but what if Teddy can be improved ? Not looking to replace, but to challenge!
Probably not my best draft, but a 1st.

Your score is: 8361 (GRADE: A)

Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 22 (HOU): Jaylon Smith, OLB/ILB, Notre Dame (B-)
Round 2 Pick 17 (IND): Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State (A+)
Round 2 Pick 23: Will Fuller, WR, Notre Dame (A)
Round 2 Pick 32 (CAR): Cody Whitehair, OG, Kansas State (A+)
Round 3 Pick 3 (S.D.): Deion Jones, OLB, LSU (A-)
Round 3 Pick 23: Nick Martin, C, Notre Dame (A+)
Round 4 Pick 4 (S.D.): Artie Burns, CB, Miami (Fla.) (A)
Round 4 Pick 32 (CAR): Sheldon Day, DT, Notre Dame (A+)
Round 5 Pick 1 (TENN): Keyarris Garrett, WR, Tulsa (A+)
Round 5 Pick 21: Roger Lewis, WR, Bowling Green (A+)
Round 5 Pick 23 (PHI): Ian Seau, OLB, Nevada (A)
Round 6 Pick 4 (S.D.): Tom Hackett, P, Utah (A+)

That's a lot of wheelin and dealin!

My philosophy is small windows for success in the NFL I believe we are
close now. I gave up a future first round and moved down 5-6 times
(or close to it) doing that gave me 6-7 guys in the top 100.

That draft would rebuild our WR core .. I would keep

Round 5 Pick 1 (TENN): Keyarris Garrett, WR, Tulsa (A+)
Round 5 Pick 21: Roger Lewis, WR, Bowling Green (A+)
Round 2 Pick 23: Will Fuller, WR, Notre Dame (A)
Diggs Number 1 receiver
Wright 3 Reciever

Theilen might make the team as a special teams player and back up wide out...
Garrett might spend sometime on PUP or injured reserve to start out...

The OL would be Kalil or FA LT
Cody Whitehair LG
Sullivan or Round 3 Pick 23: Nick Martin, C, Notre Dame (A+) C
Brandon Fusco RG
Shepard, Cirles, Clemmings Harris at Starting tackle

I would make the most athletic OL into a fulltime jumbo blocker
/TE option...

Patterson, Peterson, Wallace, Loadholt, Greenway, Robison
Kalil would only stay if he reworked a deal.

Harrison Smith and Harris would start at safety

Peterson would probably be traded to Dallas (unable to work this in on the app)

Elliott, would compete for spilt time as starter at RB

Jaylon Smith would compete for OLB start ..

Make it so #1!

this one might be the best yet ?

Round 2 Pick 2 (TENN): Carson Wentz, QB, North Dakota State (A+)
Round 2 Pick 5 (BALT): Jason Spriggs, OT, Indiana (B+)
Round 2 Pick 11 (MIA): Cody Whitehair, OG, Kansas State (B+)
Round 3 Pick 7 (BALT): Jayron Kearse, SS, Clemson (A+)
Round 3 Pick 10 (MIA): Devontae Booker, RB, Utah (A-)
Round 4 Pick 6 (BALT): Eric Striker, OLB/ILB, Oklahoma (B+)
Round 4 Pick 9 (MIA): Max Tuerk, C/OG, Southern California (B)
Round 4 Pick 23: Tyler Higbee, TE, Western Kentucky (A)
Round 5 Pick 1 (TENN): Keyarris Garrett, WR, Tulsa (A+)
Round 5 Pick 8 (MIA): Roger Lewis, WR, Bowling Green (A+)
Round 5 Pick 21: Le'Raven Clark, OT, Texas Tech (A+)
Round 6 Pick 16 (DET): Tom Hackett, P, Utah (A+)
Round 7 Pick 15 (DET): Kolby Listenbee, WR, TCU (A+)

A Blake Borttles back up slash push Teddy in second..
Better Wide out group
New OL
New Punter
Some holes filled on Defense

1- DT Andrew Billings, Baylor
2- WR Corey Coleman, Baylor
3- OG Denver Kirkland, Arkansas
4- OT Le'Raven Clark, Texas Tech
5- S Max Redfield, Notre Dame
6- C. Austin Blythe, Iowa
7- QB Jacoby Brissett, NC State
7- RB Kenyan Drake, Auburn

I like this. Really liked the first 4 picks. Could have had Mike Thomas instead of Coleman, but went with the speedy guy with a ton of catches.

Jack was available so I thought why not grab the final piece to the LB trilogy. Beef up the line and then add depth at qb and a replacement for Locke.

Round 1 Pick 28 (K.C.): Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor (B+)
Round 2 Pick 14 (L.A.): Cody Whitehair, OG, Kansas State (A)

Tried again today...I'd be pretty happy with this one as things stand today, pre-combine and pre-free agency.

QB CARSON WENTZ

I am a big believer in Teddy, but in this league I don't know how you pass on Wentz at 23. Worst case you have a backup QB with huge upside in case of failure or injury.

Another guy I can't pass up on. I like Heinecke, but Adams in the 7th is too good to pass up. Could command a lot of him or Wentz in a year or two.

ILB JOSH FORREST

Just another project for Mike Zimmer, a la Edmond Robinson.

FV,
I have found that Wentz has dropped a few spots after some of the pro days. If he fell that far it really would be difficult to pass on.

That would make for a very interesting QB scenario.

Jordy, you should do one of these for the Packers and post it here, I'd love to get a sense of who GB fans might be hankering for.

I was quite surprised he was there. I used the CBS rankings and although they had him at 7 overall he was still around at pick 23. I just couldn't pass up on him.

And wouldn't you know it, I've done 3 drafts since I posted that comment and Wentz never made it past the 49ers. Sometimes the simulator picks are a little odd but it's still fun. Thanks for posting the link.

I did a mock on the Browns and it turned out pretty good for them.

I think I didn't communicate it well that as far as the simulator was picking players in front of Wentz if that makes sense,

Yes Jordy, you should.

The Playmaker Edition. I could imagine Rick doing a draft along these lines.

TEAM DRAFT ASSESSMENT

Just curious which BOARD you all use most? The boards are all so different resulting in wildly different outcomes.

I typically use CBS, just because I feel it might have more credibility than say, HanksDraftHeadquarters, or whatever some of the other options are. Sometimes I use the fanspeak board as well.

I think I like the WalterFootball version better.

I will usually do the most currently updated mock and usually use the CBS mock the most. Then fanspeak.

When they (most of the boards) have Wentz there at 23, and Shepard gone at 54, I kinda wonder.
I was hoping Shepard could be our late round sleeper. I dont want a WR in the first. Or a DT.

#1 Defense Draft.

I had fun with this one. I feel like there is more depth late in the draft on the offensive side of the ball, and more depth early in the draft on the defensive side of things. It was fun just trying to pick the biggest impact defenders available with my picks in the first 4 rounds.
