Arrow season 1 was more realistic back when Ollie was on his gritty, murking dudes and taking names.
The last two seasons have taken it a bit far though.

Nice relocation of the Sonics.
Hello Gregory 
Nice number of Browns playoff wins you've seen in your entire life.
Nice number of Browns playoff wins you've seen in your entire life.
To keep the draft moving along and without much thought. I select cb Jalen Collins LSU.We need some help in the secondary and while Kevin Johnson is probably the current safer pick if we can mold Jalen and teach him some technique then should turn out good maybe idk. But this is it.

Hello Gregory
Nice number of Browns playoff wins you've seen in your entire life.
I'd rather just suck in the middle of the season not to get my hopes up, than to throw it all away with less than a minute to go at the 1yd line.
Also, seriously though, I like Walker, shame he had such a bad start.

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 - 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 - DeVante Parker, WR, Louisville
Bridgewater needs weapons and Parker is a familiar face that he can work with to add some much needed offense to Minnesota that may be in danger of losing AP at some point.
12. Cleveland Browns - Malcom Brown, DT, Texas
Alright jerks,
With the 12th pick the Browns of Cleve take Malcom Brown.
Versatile, talented, and fills a desperate need for the Browns. Helps stop the run game, and hopfully gives the Browns a dominant force along the defensive line. Plus the dudes last name is Brown.
13. New Orleans Saints - Shane Ray, OLB/DE, MIssouri
Im thinking a LB/DE.
they already have SJB who is a project.
Marcus is good but I'm pretty sure they will work on the front 7.
Shane Ray it is. I'm not sure I've seen him projected out of the top 10 in any mocks. He's available at 13 so it's a value and a need.
14. Miami Dolphins - Trae Waynes, CB, Michigan State
With the top 3 WR's off the board the Dolphins address a major need by taking the first CB in the draft. With his great speed, fluid movement, and solid man to man coverage skills Waynes should be able to start out of the gate opposite Brent Grimes to help shore up Miami's thin secondary.
15. San Francisco 49ers - Marcus Peters, CB, Washington
Once again the 49ers find themselves losing two veteran defensive backs, it only makes sense to take Marcus Peters at this spot.Peters is big, physical, strong, and has good make up speed for a corner his size, he has long arms and can fight for the ball very well. the 49ers have shown we don't shy away from taking guys with character issues. #SingCanFixEm, I mean #BaalkeCanFixEm #WinningWithClass
16. Houston Texans - Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia
With Foster's lingering soft tissue issues and the Texans ability to release him after this season with minimal cap hit they look towards the future. With no franchise QB set they will run the ball a lot and draft what most are saying is a special player. Gurley is regarded as a student of the game with great enthusiasm to play. A trait that will endear him to Bill O'Brien.
17. San Diego Chargers - Andrus Peat, OT Standford
Chargers have big holes in front 7 but they'd definitely go OT here, especially since a lot have not been picked in our mock
I'd go Peat. Better pass pro for an immobile Rivers.
18. Kansas City Chiefs - La'el Collins, OT LSU
This pick was made after a long and thought out process and after Chuckddd said he would slap a bitch if the pick was not made promptly
19. Cleveland Browns (from Buffalo) -BRESHAD PERRIMAN, WR, UCF
Thought the Browns weren't gonna go crazy this year in the 1st round after that 1st pick, did ya? Well, since the Browns' original target got snatched right before them with Collins going to the Chiefs, and the Browns unwilling to part ways with several draft picks to move up one spot after the Trent Truck fiasco, they go raw talent and upside with this freak of nature (also the OT pool is pretty deep). After not having drafted a WR in the first round since Braylon Edwards, this pick provides a legitimate deep threat after Gordon seemingly decided to throw his career and life away. With veterans Hartline and Bowe having signed recently aswell, suddenly this receiving corps could become a legitimate threat to defenses. With the right guidance, this kid could become something really special, at least that's what the Browns will be hoping for.
20. Philadelphia Eagles - Byron Jones, CB, UConn
Jones combines good size and freakish athleticism with sound technique and tops it off by being a high character guy. That ticks all the Chip Kelly boxes so the Eagles are thrilled to scoop him up and add him to a secondary that consists of Byron Maxwell, Brandon Boykin and Malcolm Jenkins. What was once the biggest weakness on the team is now a strength
21. Cincinnati Bengals - Ereck Flowers OT , Miami
Dalton needs someone to protect him while he loses another playoff game.
22. Pittsburgh Steelers - Jalen Collins, CB, LSU
We need some help in the secondary and while Kevin Johnson is probably the current safer pick if we can mold Jalen and teach him some technique then should turn out good maybe idk. But this is it.
23. Detroit Lions - NihonTiger90, Kas ON THE CLOCK
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.

After not having drafted a WR in the first round since Braylon Edwards, this pick provides a legitimate deep threat after Gordon seemingly decided to throw his career and life away. With veterans Hartline and Bowe having signed recently aswell, suddenly this receiving corps could become a legitimate threat to defenses. With the right guidance, this kid could become something really special, at least that's what the Browns will be hoping for.
The kid runs arguably runs a faster 40 than CJ2K and is 6ft2 Yes, this shit is important
20. Philadelphia Eagles - Byron Jones, CB, UConn
Jones combines good size and freakish athleticism with sound technique and tops it off by being a high character guy. That ticks all the Chip Kelly boxes so the Eagles are thrilled to scoop him up and add him to a secondary that consists of Byron Maxwell, Brandon Boykin and Malcolm Jenkins. What was once the biggest weakness on the team is now a strength
21. Cincinnati Bengals - Ereck Flowers OT , Miami
Dalton needs someone to protect him while he loses another playoff game.
22. Pittsburgh Steelers - Jalen Collins, CB, LSU
We need some help in the secondary and while Kevin Johnson is probably the current safer pick if we can mold Jalen and teach him some technique then should turn out good maybe idk. But this is it.
23. Detroit Lions - NihonTiger90, Kas ON THE CLOCK
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.

Roar Restoration Time
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 - 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 - DeVante Parker, WR, Louisville
Bridgewater needs weapons and Parker is a familiar face that he can work with to add some much needed offense to Minnesota that may be in danger of losing AP at some point.
12. Cleveland Browns - Malcom Brown, DT, Texas
Alright jerks,
With the 12th pick the Browns of Cleve take Malcom Brown.
Versatile, talented, and fills a desperate need for the Browns. Helps stop the run game, and hopfully gives the Browns a dominant force along the defensive line. Plus the dudes last name is Brown.
13. New Orleans Saints - Shane Ray, OLB/DE, MIssouri
Im thinking a LB/DE.
they already have SJB who is a project.
Marcus is good but I'm pretty sure they will work on the front 7.
Shane Ray it is. I'm not sure I've seen him projected out of the top 10 in any mocks. He's available at 13 so it's a value and a need.
14. Miami Dolphins - Trae Waynes, CB, Michigan State
With the top 3 WR's off the board the Dolphins address a major need by taking the first CB in the draft. With his great speed, fluid movement, and solid man to man coverage skills Waynes should be able to start out of the gate opposite Brent Grimes to help shore up Miami's thin secondary.
15. San Francisco 49ers - Marcus Peters, CB, Washington
Once again the 49ers find themselves losing two veteran defensive backs, it only makes sense to take Marcus Peters at this spot.Peters is big, physical, strong, and has good make up speed for a corner his size, he has long arms and can fight for the ball very well. the 49ers have shown we don't shy away from taking guys with character issues. #SingCanFixEm, I mean #BaalkeCanFixEm #WinningWithClass
16. Houston Texans - Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia
With Foster's lingering soft tissue issues and the Texans ability to release him after this season with minimal cap hit they look towards the future. With no franchise QB set they will run the ball a lot and draft what most are saying is a special player. Gurley is regarded as a student of the game with great enthusiasm to play. A trait that will endear him to Bill O'Brien.
17. San Diego Chargers - Andrus Peat, OT Standford
Chargers have big holes in front 7 but they'd definitely go OT here, especially since a lot have not been picked in our mock
I'd go Peat. Better pass pro for an immobile Rivers.
18. Kansas City Chiefs - La'el Collins, OT LSU
This pick was made after a long and thought out process and after Chuckddd said he would slap a bitch if the pick was not made promptly
19. Cleveland Browns (from Buffalo) -BRESHAD PERRIMAN, WR, UCF
Thought the Browns weren't gonna go crazy this year in the 1st round after that 1st pick, did ya? Well, since the Browns' original target got snatched right before them with Collins going to the Chiefs, and the Browns unwilling to part ways with several draft picks to move up one spot after the Trent Truck fiasco, they go raw talent and upside with this freak of nature (also the OT pool is pretty deep).

How is that possible
Exactly the scene I was thinking of when I typed that out lol. Also the next episode when (DON'T CLICK FOR EP 4 SPOILERS):
Fisk beats Anatoly's brains in with a car door, jesus fuck
Checked out the mock so far - If Randy Gregory is still on the board at 25, he will without a shadow of a doubt be the pick. He's come in for a visit and the Panthers have held a private workout for him. Getts won't pass up an elite pass rusher.
If he gets picked ahead of us, given who's left on the board, I'm thinking either S Landon Collins (doubles as BPA and an area of need) or WR Jaelen Strong.
I don't think the Panthers are going to go with an OT in round 1. Think they're going to roll with Oher at LT and some combo of Remmers/Martin at RT.

With the 23rd pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions select...
D.J Humphries, OT, Florida
This is a tough call. There's two big needs for Detroit: DT and OT. But the Lions have been making a buzz about moving Reiff back to RT, so they need someone on the left that can keep their (overpriced) QB upright and make the screen game work for Bell and presumably Tevin Coleman. Humphries has a history of injuries but he's the BPA at a position of need. That's usually how Detroit drafts.

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 - DeVante Parker, WR, Louisville
Bridgewater needs weapons and Parker is a familiar face that he can work with to add some much needed offense to Minnesota that may be in danger of losing AP at some point.
12. Cleveland Browns - Malcom Brown, DT, Texas
Alright jerks,
With the 12th pick the Browns of Cleve take Malcom Brown.
Versatile, talented, and fills a desperate need for the Browns. Helps stop the run game, and hopfully gives the Browns a dominant force along the defensive line. Plus the dudes last name is Brown.
13. New Orleans Saints - Shane Ray, OLB/DE, MIssouri
Im thinking a LB/DE.
they already have SJB who is a project.
Marcus is good but I'm pretty sure they will work on the front 7.
Shane Ray it is. I'm not sure I've seen him projected out of the top 10 in any mocks. He's available at 13 so it's a value and a need.
14. Miami Dolphins - Trae Waynes, CB, Michigan State
With the top 3 WR's off the board the Dolphins address a major need by taking the first CB in the draft. With his great speed, fluid movement, and solid man to man coverage skills Waynes should be able to start out of the gate opposite Brent Grimes to help shore up Miami's thin secondary.
15. San Francisco 49ers - Marcus Peters, CB, Washington
Once again the 49ers find themselves losing two veteran defensive backs, it only makes sense to take Marcus Peters at this spot.Peters is big, physical, strong, and has good make up speed for a corner his size, he has long arms and can fight for the ball very well. the 49ers have shown we don't shy away from taking guys with character issues. #SingCanFixEm, I mean #BaalkeCanFixEm #WinningWithClass
16. Houston Texans - Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia
With Foster's lingering soft tissue issues and the Texans ability to release him after this season with minimal cap hit they look towards the future. With no franchise QB set they will run the ball a lot and draft what most are saying is a special player. Gurley is regarded as a student of the game with great enthusiasm to play. A trait that will endear him to Bill O'Brien.
17. San Diego Chargers - Andrus Peat, OT Standford
Chargers have big holes in front 7 but they'd definitely go OT here, especially since a lot have not been picked in our mock
I'd go Peat. Better pass pro for an immobile Rivers.
18. Kansas City Chiefs - La'el Collins, OT LSU
This pick was made after a long and thought out process and after Chuckddd said he would slap a bitch if the pick was not made promptly
19. Cleveland Browns (from Buffalo) -BRESHAD PERRIMAN, WR, UCF
Thought the Browns weren't gonna go crazy this year in the 1st round after that 1st pick, did ya? Well, since the Browns' original target got snatched right before them with Collins going to the Chiefs, and the Browns unwilling to part ways with several draft picks to move up one spot after the Trent Truck fiasco, they go raw talent and upside with this freak of nature (also the OT pool is pretty deep). After not having drafted a WR in the first round since Braylon Edwards, this pick provides a legitimate deep threat after Gordon seemingly decided to throw his career and life away. With veterans Hartline and Bowe having signed recently aswell, suddenly this receiving corps could become a legitimate threat to defenses. With the right guidance, this kid could become something really special, at least that's what the Browns will be hoping for.
20. Philadelphia Eagles - Byron Jones, CB, UConn
Jones combines good size and freakish athleticism with sound technique and tops it off by being a high character guy. That ticks all the Chip Kelly boxes so the Eagles are thrilled to scoop him up and add him to a secondary that consists of Byron Maxwell, Brandon Boykin and Malcolm Jenkins. What was once the biggest weakness on the team is now a strength
21. Cincinnati Bengals - Ereck Flowers OT , Miami
Dalton needs someone to protect him while he loses another playoff game.
22. Pittsburgh Steelers - Jalen Collins, CB, LSU
We need some help in the secondary and while Kevin Johnson is probably the current safer pick if we can mold Jalen and teach him some technique then should turn out good maybe idk. But this is it.
23. Detroit Lions - D.J Humphries, OT, Florida
This is a tough call. There's two big needs for Detroit: DT and OT. But the Lions have been making a buzz about moving Reiff back to RT, so they need someone on the left that can keep their (overpriced) QB upright and make the screen game work for Bell and presumably Tevin Coleman. Humphries has a history of injuries but he's the BPA at a position of need. That's usually how Detroit drafts.
24. Arizona Cardinals - Squall ASF ON THE CLOCK
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.
