I'm stuck on like Season 4 of Always Sunny, I need to finish, lol.
If it's also on Hulu I might catch it.

I just finished House of Cards (which was awesome, I highly recommend it) and I am looking for a new show. I think I'll check it out. Don't let me down.

iceman getting his head ripped off and smashed, colossus being ripped in half, sunfire getting his arms chopped off, bishop being burned alive, etc.

I liked House of Cards, but ultimately I was a left a little cold by
how dumb everyone was compared to Frank. It just seemed nuts these people gained their positions only to be so duped by Frank.
I actually ended up enjoying Orange is the New Black more, and I had really just started watching it to see lesbian prison sex. It actually disappoints in that regard
Hannibal is really good. Unlike anything on TV. It's also the most violent and grotesque network show I have ever seen. I get the distinction, but it's so funny they can show that stuff but can't show a female butt

Not enough Attention was paid to the Mock Draft. First off thanks Futurevoid for being a great showrunner and picking up the slack during my absence. I think the board is trying to tell me something.. *cough*
Here is the final Draft.
First, all the teams that got their pick right:
St. Louis Rams - Greg Robinson (Squicken, B For Bendetta)
Atlanta Falcons - Jake Matthews (Talon)
Minnesota Vikings - Anthony Barr (Slo)
Cincinnati Bengals - Darqueze Dennard (Coldnoodle)
New England Patriots - Dominique Easley (Colasante, ActStriker, Sanjuro)
Congrats on those teams and captains who nailed their picks.
All players drafted before their inevitable position:
Houston Texans - Khalil Mack (glares at Mech)
Oakland Raiders - Teddy Bridgewater
Buffalo Bills - Eric Ebron
New York Giants - Aaron Donald
St. Louis Rams - Ha Ha Clinton Dix
Chicago Bears - Calvin Pryor
Dallas Cowboys - Kony Ealy
New York Jets - Marquise Lee
Green Bay Packers - Louis Nix III
San Diego Chargers - Timmy Jernigan
Carolina Panthers - Cyrus Kouandjio
San Francisco 49ers - Bradley Roby
Denver Broncos - Xavier Su'a Filo
Seattle Seahawks - Joel Bitonio
All of the bolded were not drafted in the first round. Louis Nix, long thought to be a first round pick, was drafted in the 3rd. Way to overdraft fellas!
All players drafted after their inevitable position:
Jacksonville Jaguars - Jadaveon Clowney (What a steal!)
Cleveland Browns - Blake Bortles
Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Sammy Watkins
Detroit Lions - Mike Evans
Tennessee Titans - Justin Gilbert
Pittsburgh Steelers - Taylor Lewan
Baltimore Ravens - Zach Martin
Miami Dolphins - CJ Mosely
Arizona Cardinals - Ryan Shazier
Kansas City Chiefs - Brandin Cooks
Cleveland Browns - Kyle Fuller
New Orleans Saints - Odell Beckham Jr.
A note about Johnny Manziel - Manziel was actually drafted 22nd overall just like in our mock, but by the Cleveland Browns. Oops.
Biggest Rise on the list - Louis Nix III - 62 spots
Biggest Fall on the list - Kyle Fuller - 12 spots
Players drafted who weren't on our mock:
Miami Dolphins - Ja'Wuan James
Kansas City Chiefs - Dee Ford

Actually Denver and Seattle's picks went very soon after they were drafted in the mock despite going in the 2nd. What a whiff on Nix though Pack fans. I mean really.

Awesome work compiling that, DK. STL really had their board very similar to how I saw things. I didn't like HHCD that high, but figured they would. Ultimately the guys they wanted at 13 were Donald and Martin, neither of whom I figured would be there in our mock. They were actually willing to double dip on OL if Donald was gone, which is what I really wanted to do in our mock, but just never figured they would consider it.
The Rams offseason was all about what they learned in their final 3 division games, all on the road. They were dominated on offense up front by all three teams. As much as QB was and may be an issue, as we saw with PM in the SB, it doesn't matter who is back there if the OL can't hold up in any way. I still think the Donald pick was a luxury choice they couldn't afford, b/c they are still soft at RT and have injury concerns all over the OL with no proven depth

@SEA
As far as Clowney, Fisher said flat out they would have taken him had HOU passed, so I feel totally vindicated by our mock. I said they would take him if he magically was there at 2, he would not be there, and they would ultimately take Robinson with #2. 3/3

I got close! I had drafted a reciever. Cooks was gone.

One thing I noticed when compiling that post was that there were quite a few guys who went one or two spots before or after they were actually drafted. All of the reaches were in the second half of the draft.

Greg Little suggests Josh Gordon possible suspension could be a mistake
Claims it was beyond his control, and also suggests he may have simply missed a test, which to the NFL is the same as failing it. Interesting perspective.

Oh for sure. Hard to fault FV pick of Donald when he went one pick later. Similar w/SEA and Bitonio when he went high in 2nd round. Noodle hitting on Dennard is pretty well done since it is so much harder later on.
Bortles, even though I am not a fan, I agree with the philosophy of making sure to get the QB you absolutely want and not get cute with "value".
Dolphins and Carolina had such awful needs that I can see why they took those guys where they did. I think Benjamin is going to be a huge bust but they had to have someone. They just were in a tough spot. Too many holes to trade up and lose picks, but they had to get a WR. I'm sure they deflated when NO got Cooks. Phins with James, even if/when he washes out at tackles, can hopefully play guard
It's hard to say "reach", but I am still perplexed by the Eagles pick, mostly. Chip earned some patience but it still seems weird

Louis Nix III is a Texan, Deacs.
Thanks for posting this.
There is no way to get around this no matter how hard Howie Roseman (Eagles GM) now hits the Philly sports radio circuit to defend the draft and cutting Desean.
Eagles wanted to move on from Desean but fucked it up monumentally when they couldn't get anything in return. Had they just waited until the draft, I bet at at least Cleveland would have inquired especially with the Gordon suspension looming. They could have waited until after the draft to cut him. Anything would have been better than what they got.
As for the draft they screwed up again when the top 6 guys they wanted around the #22 pick were all gone thanks to other teams out maneuvering them. Now Howie is saying they always wanted Smith but in those initial hours after the first round both he and Chip came out and mentioned they wanted to trade down more but couldn't so they reached for Smith.
So they screwed up twice. Took a guy they could have had in the 2nd, lost out on a potential first round guy like Dennard, and then spent 2 picks trying to replace Desean, and have 0 picks to show for letting Desean go.
I do have some trust in Chip. He has shown to have a sharp mind on offense. But I agree with the assessment that they don't seem to be better on offense in any way, and you wonder if enough was done to improve the defense.
It's one of those things with the draft, where I think you are right; they really erred sitting still. Once their guys starting going off the board, they needed to figure out how to move up. With DJAX, idk. From the outside it's hard to know exactly how bad the problem was
Coldnoodle
Member
Changod killed it, I miss that guy.
Getting rid of DJAX isn't the problem. Not getting anything in return is failure.
He was rated a high second on the Texans board. When they saw him there near the end of the 3rd they jumped up.
I still liked you searching out mock drafts and posting the loosest of rumors to somehow prove you were right about Mack being selected before the draft had even occurred.

Want more??
Where there is smoke there is likely fire. They also a had a history of doing that kind of move. Reasonable guess.
Shows how ridiculous draft rumors got this year. I don't think its even fair to call them rumors as rumors usually have some basis.

Ehhhh I'd say better than 29 other teams. Dick Sherman agrees as well
Nope, I'm set!
It will bite them in the ass when Mack is a multi year all pro and Clooney is Mario 2.0

I thinks MackDXs major fault was believing a team would pass over a guy like Clowney because of scheme fit.
With caused him to ruin our whole mock, and set of a chain reaction of events
