Packers??

Friend, when did our relationship sour so much?

I don't really hate them as much as I am tired of them always winning the division b/c they are the only team with a QB. And they ahd Favre and Rodgers back to back. Probably the way a lot of people feel about Indy

9. New York Giants - 9. New York Giants - Danny Shelton, DT/NT Washington

Offensive line is a need and Brandon Sherff is who *I* want and the possibility of a tackle like La'El Collins or Andrus Peat were discussed but if Shelton is there at 9, I think Jerry Reese pounces. The Giants haven't had the ability to defend the run consistently since perhaps 2010. They hit big with Big Hank from Ohio who came on big time last year but next to him is an aging Cullen Jenkins, a second year player in Bromley who could develop and little else. They signed Kenrick Ellis to be a run stuffer but if you have the opportunity to bring in Shelton who has that high ceiling as both a run stuffer and possibly a pass rusher with development, you take it. Especially considering that Spags will constantly be rotating guys in and out of the line and showing different looks/stunts.

I want Collins (like you I'm convinced that they will not go oline in the first). However, I do think they would go Gregory over Shelton (and I don't want either!). They just seem to prioritize passrushing over run defense to me, and I think Reese is convinced that he's a defensive tackle savant (Linval Joseph and Big Hank were both big hits of his).

And we're also giving up a first round pick to get Sam Bradford.

I also heard we're giving up a first round pick and more to San Diego for Phillip Rivers.

We also have a trade lined up for Manziel and a first to some unknown team for a QB.

Manziel and your first for Landry Jones. Win/win.

Like what sport? Baseball?
Cmon. I said we would have to make some sacrifices but I said sport. The most exciting thing about baseball for the die hard fans are the overpriced beer, the nasty hot dogs and the math for fantasy. That is not a sport. The WWE is more of a sport than baseball.

We will have to follow a real sport that goes concurrent to the NFL so it hurts them as much as possible. Maybe the WNBA?

Our demands are simple and should be met quickly once the NFL panics and sees how much money they are losing.

We want Goodell out. We want the Patriots to be stripped of all their titles and banned from the league for 2 years. Kraft is forced to sell the team to someone who doesn't employ murderers and cheats (being a murderer and cheat himself he is pretty good at evaluating talent but he must go). The cheat and Brady must be deported to a country willing to take them. Gronk must be sterilized. And PI must be reviewable by instant replay.

Until our demands are met we are going to boycott the NFL and support another sport.

That trade lined up is with Philly. #19 and Manziel for Sam Bradford.

Eagles then use #19 and to move up to #2 for Mariota.

Manziel mentors him for a year.

Smoke screens around Mariota make him NFL draft's biggest domino

A highly respected NFL personnel man was mentally thumbing through Marcus Mariota comparisons this week when he found what seemed to be an appropriate box for the Oregon star.

Aaron Rodgers.

It sounded like a glowing comparison. But in what may be the only negative Rodgers analogy that still exits, this is what the personnel man said: "If [Mariota] doesn't go in the top six picks, he could do an Aaron Rodgers," he said.

This was a dark nod toward draft torture. Specifically, the 2005 first round, when Rodgers did a slow bake on national television as his draft position Plinko-ed from a potential No. 1 pick to the 24th selection.

Few believe this could happen to Mariota. Falling that hard?

"If he gets past the top six, it could be out of the top 10 to whatever point the Eagles trade up for him," the personnel man said.

In the grand sense of anything-can-happen, this could be a realistic scenario. But in most quarters, it doesn't fit with what many NFL sources have been saying about Mariota in recent days. Then again, the one absolute about Mariota right now is that there is no absolute about his destination later this month. While all signs point to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers having zeroed in on Florida State's Jameis Winston with the No. 1 overall pick, far fewer have certainty about Mariota.

Wont make it past pick 16 if he falls

On another note, Gata you gotta take your hands off the keyboard bro. Go do something else with your life man.

posting a sentence in a thread from your phone, while sitting somewhere, doesnt take up that much time compared to playing a game.

It would depend on the reason.

If he get caught raping another fatty than it won't matter what the league does because the Steelers will cut him.

The current system is stupid because Goodell just picks punishments on a whim (unless the Pats are involved, than somehow he needs to investigate and store all of the evidence in a furnace where it will be safe). They should have set suspensions for most things by now.

The pain of pissing away a trip to the Super Bowl dwarfs my 20 years of rooting for perpetually shitty Illini football teams.

Make of that what you will.

Three years ago, I would agree. With the last two drafts focusing on high character/team captains - i.e. "clean" players, I don't see it. They've proven to be risk averse these last two drafts and its paying off for them thus far. I don't see them changing strategies coming off of a 6-10 season.

Just my opinion there.

Yeah, I'm with you there as well.

I had no idea that they were going to draft Beckham last year and they nailed that pick, so who knows at this point.

AWWWWWWWWWWW YEAH!!!!

Enjoy that bum ass scrub, another wasted Whiz pick. Man did he squander so many picks in his years here. Housler has nice size and speed, hoped he would cause mismatch problems for other teams but the guy can never stay healthy and dropped too many balls.

Last year took a lot of my enjoyment away. Rams season was over when Bradford got hurt in the preseason. It's been since October 2013 that I have had a real rooting interest in a game that mattered.

:jnc at the coach starting his fucking son at QB over Ben Roethlisberger. How pissed do you think the players were?
That is pretty common in HS, at least it was when I went to HS.

A lot of coaches and teachers are shitty cunts so the players don't expect much from them.

Its weird. I would have too much shame to give my son that much preferential treatment over the rest of the kids.

Speaking of cunty coaches I remember in middle school the coach started his son, who had horrible asthma and could barely dribble the ball, over me. He then kept me out of a game because of my "bad attitude". Granted I did have a bad attitude that year, but only because I had to sit and watch a fat piece of crap start over me. I never complained being on the bench in HS because the kid that started over me was much better. He had a knack for making impossible shots at a very high percentage (his second game he hit a half court game winner). But I had the last laugh. I was a varsity tennis player and I always made it deep into districts and we as a team always would go as far as we could, but I always lost to the guy who would eventually be state champ. We brought home more hardware than the guy who started above me in basketball, but to be fair he had a lot of sex while I did not (tennis just doesn't get that kind of respect in PA).
 
What a freakish athlete he is. I didn't know he was great at every sport in HS.

I live in Ben's hometown. Dude is basically considered God around here even if we apparently pissed him off after the trouble he got in a few years ago. His HS coach is also our state representative, who got that job because ... well, everyone knew him as the football coach.

The coach's son is an AD at one of the nearby school districts
and he's apparently a giant ass, too.

I'm sure Seattle has a bunch of open gyms we could play in, I assume no one really uses them.

The 2015 NFL-GAF Mock Draft is now open for business.


1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Jameis Winston, QB, Florida State.

Yes, there are some maturity questions with Jameis Winston and he is (probably) a rapist shit. But the simple fact of the matter is that the Bucs are absolutely desperate for a franchise QB and Winston seems to be the guy Licht and Lovie like most. Winston has a solid arm and reportedly has a football IQ that is off the charts, and was very impressive at both the combine and FSU's pro day.

He has every chance to become a great QB in this league. But the Bucs are taking a risk here by going with a guy with his baggage. However, when you need a QB as badly as the Bucs do, that baggage seems a lot more manageable.

2. Tennessee Titans - Leonard Williams, DT, USC

The Titans are confident that their young offense with Mettenberger at the helm will continue to grow with another year in the system and so will pass on the consensus second-best QB in the draft and select the best defensive player in the draft in Williams. The Titans' defense desperately needs a shake up and Williams will be a disruptive force along the defensive line which should help to improve the rest of the unit.

3. Jacksonville Jaguars - Dante Fowler Jr, OLB/DE, Florida

I'm saying Dante Fowler for the Jags. A lot of hub-bub about that pick for them and they continue to need to address pass rush on their line. They've got their QB in Bortles. You could argue he needs weapons so a Cooper or White could go here but a premium pass rusher at #3 makes more sense for me.

4. Oakland Raiders - Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama

Outstanding work ethic with extremely polished route running skills for a college WR. Has the ability to make people miss after the catch. Has the ability to line up all over the field (Also been a knock on him because of Lame Kiffin's ability to get productively out of WRs). He had three years of productively in Alabama and should be able to step in and produce at a high level as a rookie.

5. Washington Redskins - Vic Beasley, OLB, Clemson

Mariotta to DC for the lulz (and so Gruden can help ruin another young QB) but the real pick should probably be Vic Beasley to give the Skins a potentially elite edge rusher to pair with Ryan Kerrigan and replace the departed Brian Orakpo. It's not a need pick but taking someone at a position of need (CB, WR) at this point would probably be a reach with the 5th pick.

6. New York Jets - Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon

The Jets select Marcus Mariota. The Jets have had a productive off-season thus far, making moves to shore up weaknesses in the secondary by bringing back Revis and Cromartie and their receiver core with their pick-up of Brandon Marshall. Their one glaring weakness remains the QB position. Geno Smith has proven that he cannot reach a level of maintainable consistency, an issue Chan Gailey is unlikely to be able to rectify. Ryan Fitzpatrick, another off-season signing for the Jets, is not a long term solution but will hopefully be able to take reps while Mariota adjusts to life at the professional level. (Shadyspace)

7. Chicago Bears - Kevin White, WR, West Virginia

With the 7th pick in the 2015 NFL Draft the Bears select WR Kevin White. Bears make the right choice by drafting BPA and not for need by reaching for Shane Ray, Dupree or Shelton. However, once again the Bears miss out by one pick yet again after Aaron Donald was picked right before them last year. Bears would have loved Mariota to sit behind Jay Cutler until Bears fans call for his head (so only a few games). White has the ability and talent to be a true #1 WR with elite speed to compliment Jeffrey after the Bears created a need trading Marshall. Bears have met with most of the first round WRs as well so I see this as a realistic choice.(minx88)

8. Atlanta Falcons - Alvin "Bud" Dupree, DE Kentucky

As a Falcons fan our immediate need is a pass rusher. I don't know much about college players but from what I've been hearing and based on who's left, I would guess we would pick either Ray or Dupree whichever one is the better rusher.

9. New York Giants - 9. New York Giants - Danny Shelton, DT/NT Washington

Offensive line is a need and Brandon Sherff is who *I* want and the possibility of a tackle like La'El Collins or Andrus Peat were discussed but if Shelton is there at 9, I think Jerry Reese pounces. The Giants haven't had the ability to defend the run consistently since perhaps 2010. They hit big with Big Hank from Ohio who came on big time last year but next to him is an aging Cullen Jenkins, a second year player in Bromley who could develop and little else. They signed Kenrick Ellis to be a run stuffer but if you have the opportunity to bring in Shelton who has that high ceiling as both a run stuffer and possibly a pass rusher with development, you take it. Especially considering that Spags will constantly be rotating guys in and out of the line and showing different looks/stunts.

10. St. Louis Rams - Brandon Scherff, OT, Iowa

I haven't followed the draft at all this year, but I can say for the Rams, they will take that top OL if he is still available. After that, all else being equal, they would take a corner since Cooper and White are gone

11. Minnesota Vikings - ON THE CLOCK

12. Cleveland Browns - BlackGhost, TheBatman, Confrontation
13. New Orleans Saints -
14. Miami Dolphins - Darkest Red, HiMyNameIsChris, Bread
15. San Francisco 49ers - bigosc2k, Doomsayer
16. Houston Texans - MechDX
17. San Diego Chargers -
18. Kansas City Chiefs -
19. Cleveland Browns (from Buffalo) - BlackGhost, TheBatman, Confrontation
20. Philadelphia Eagles - Gutshot, JABEE, Yankeehater
21. Cincinnati Bengals -
22. Pittsburgh Steelers - DeaconKnowledge
23. Detroit Lions - NihonTiger90, Kas
24. Arizona Cardinals - Squall ASF
25. Carolina Panthers - Grover Cleveland
26. Baltimore Ravens - Blarry
27. Dallas Cowboys - Farooq, cashman
28. Denver Broncos - Godslay, MetalFearSolid
29. Indianapolis Colts - Spinluck
30. Green Bay Packers - Elfforkusu
31. New Orleans Saints (from Seattle) -
32. New England Patriots - Dutch, Gata, Case

Rules:

1. You and your group should come to a consensus on who you genuinely think your team would take. Not who you want.
2. No trades.
3. Each person/group has a 4 hour limit to make their pick. If the pick is not in within that 4 hour time limit, then the remaining NFL-GAF members will make a consensus pick. If no consensus is made, I will make the pick as the person running the draft.
4. Each pick should be accompanied with a short synopsis of why the pick was made. Don't write a book. Just tell me why.
5. Your pick can be PM'd to me directly and I will add it. That can be done before your on the clock. If you don't think you'll be here. You can send me your top three choices as your time draws near. You don't have to post it in the thread if you're going to be away.

The pick is in for the Bears. The Falcons are on the clock.

--------------------------------------------------------

Brandon Sherff to the Rams. Vikings on the board. We're speeding up now. We have until 4:20 make the pick.

I'd like to say Waynes for the VikeBike, but Teddy actually needs some weapons, unlike a certain fat divisional rival qb. Would they go with Devante Parker, Bridgewater's old running mate? If they trade AD, are Gordon and Gurley in play?
