I know Mech jokes about it alot, but what are the odds the Texans actually do trade the #1 pick to someone like Cleveland?

My view on the trade market is:

-There are 3-4 elite non-QBs in this draft

-It's a deep draft with good starters to be found in the 3rd round

-Most teams in the top 5 all have lots of needs and would like extra picks

-But those teams don't want to miss out on the QB they want or the great non-QB talent they covet

-So you have a bunch of top 5 teams wanting to trade down, but not too far, and no top 5 teams willing to give up much in a deep draft when they can stay put and get a great player

-So I think there will be little movement in the top 5. The Raiders may be willing to move down if Clowney and the QBs they like are gone

Reading the drama about the NBA thread collapsing made me realize that NFL gaf really hasn't had that many issues. I don't think NFL gaf has ever been consumed by drama like that.

Kas, you gotta go on Twitter and protect your honor, brother!!

Why is Deion hating on the Lions? What did we ever do to him? I've always like Deion to. When I first got hired at Best Buy like 5 years ago new employees had to do a dance in front of other employees after some meeting before black friday and my 6'5 230 lb awkward ass did a awkward Deion shuffle in front of everyone. It was a Whitepeople.gif personified in real life.

Its OK though him and all the other "analysts" have been picking against the Lions for years. Its only time until the tides turn. They turned for the Seahawks, the Saints, the Cardinals etc.

I do have to get myself a Twitter account and call out famous people like eznark did to Peter King :jnc

Prison update later tonight.

Still have no idea how the hell Godslay escaped in the last update.

 

[Colasante]

Greg Robinson to the Rams. I think he can become a dominant left tackle and will help Zac Stacy lead a ground and pound that minimizes Sam Bradford as much as possible. It's close to a no brainer pick for them if they can't trade down.

I agree.

 

[BlackGhost]

I gotta go with Greg Robinson also

 

[Himynameischris]

Ditto for greg

 

[Futurevoid]

If we're going for what we think will happen I think the Rams trade out. I just don't know with who. Outside of that, can't disagree with Robinson at all.

Possibly the Raiders move up to 2 to take Clowney if the Texans take Teddy.

 

[Bolt Vanderhuge]

So apparently the guy who had a hit in the 80s with 'St. Elmo's Fire' redid the song as 'Tim Tebow's Fire' a while back?

Bionic's new ringtone.

 

[Kastrioti]

The Rams would be stupid to take an offensive lineman at #2. I'm starting to believe more and more that a Top 10 pick should not be used on an offensive lineman.

I think they trade down to the Raiders like Futurevoid said, grab an extra 4th round pick or so. If I were GM of the Rams I would take Sammy Watkins or Mike Evans to counter that Tavon Austin pick. Or take a the highest rated defensive player on the board.

Offensive lineman are becoming more versatile in terms of being able to plug them in at a variety of positions on the line. You can find a ton of guys more and more in later rounds as the Lions proved this past year.

Going from #5 to #2 would take more than just a 4th.

 

[JABEE]

Damn Robinson is going to be good, but you have to go with Clowney

 

[cashman]

Robinson for sure to the Rams.

 

[Konka]

Agreed good sir, Agreed.

+1

That looks bomb.

It was, deliciously greasy.

Where'd the mustard and spaghetti sauce?

I haven't had any mad dawg yet today.

 

[Vio-Lence]

I think the Texans would be crazy to draft Shitwater at 1. I'd take Clowney at 1 and pair him up with JJ.

Think Rams could go for Watkins at 2.

 

[squicken]

1. Texans-Clowney
2. Rams-Robinson

Ideally they trade down, but they are not going to risk coming away with Watkins, Robinson, or Mathews. And I don't think a scenario presents itself where they can be assured of that. Watkins is enticing, but Robinson is the best OT prospect since the Pace/Ogden/Jones days

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Next up is Jacksonville. I say Bridgewater goes here. They're going to want a pro ready guy who can help take the stink from the Gabbert experiment away.

 

[Colasante]

I think the Texans would be crazy to draft Shitwater at 1. I'd take Clowney at 1 and pair him up with JJ.

Think Rams could go for Watkins at 2.

Texans are already slotted Bortles in this mock, but I'd go Bridgewater if I was Rick Smith. I think he'll be the best quarterback in the draft this season and in the future and I struggle to understand the problems analysts have with him. Same for Jacksonville- I think they should take Bridgewater, for sure. He has the work ethic Gus Bradley likes, and can provide the first sense of stability at the QB position for the Jags in ages.

 

[Syrinx]

Rams go with Robinson if they don't trade down, which is still a very real possibility. They could feasibly trade down to Oakland or Atlanta and still be able to get him at those spots, so I think they try and trade down. I'm just not sure if somebody will give up what would be necessary to do so.

 

[BlackGhost]

Will Bradley pass up on Clowney if available?

 

[rando14]

Jax - Bridgewater

 

[Fox318]

Jax would draft Bortles before Bridgewater.

You do your own mock. You don't have to follow everyone else. You can even do trades! Just keep a running log of what you are doing!

 

[Himynameischris]

If bortles is gone then yeah teddy goes here unless dallas does something stupid and trades down for johnny

 

[squicken]

Trade! JAX swaps with CLE. Haslam loves the SEC and loves Manziel and tells his guys to get JFF. They don't give up their other first so it doesn't matter for the purposes of this mock

1. Texans-Clowney
2. Rams-Robinson
3. CLE (via JAX)-Manziel

 

[cashman]

Jax gets the guy they always wanted. Bridgewater.

edit: squick It would make no sense for CLE to trade up with the Jags

double edit: Oh okay you're doing your own mock. Carry on. Still would be a dumb trade for CLE or JAX

 

[Colasante]

You do your own mock. You don't have to follow everyone else. You can even do trades! Just keep a running log of what you are doing!

Ah I see. I think the Texans will take Clowney, Robinson to the Rams, then Bridgewater to Jacksonville.

I just don't understand what one hangs his hat on with Bortles as the top QB pick, besides his prototypical size. If he becomes a great QB I won't necessarily be surprised, but I think he's more likely to go the way of Locker or Ponder as a guy who was pushed up further than he should have been by the pre-draft process.

 

[MechDX]

Stafford?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

49ers entire front office (including JOHN york) all headed to miami. owners meetings aren't until mar 23-26. apparently there is something happening there early next week with the owners meetings but why did they fly over today?

harbs2dolphins trade coming soon. then i can go off myself

plz let this happen

Jax gets the guy they always wanted. Bridgewater.

double edit: Oh okay you're doing your own mock. Carry on. Still would be a dumb trade for CLE or JAX

CLE gets spooked they will lose out on JFF to another team trying to trade up. Jags don't want him and will happily take a 3rd to move down a spot and still get the guy they really want

 

[BlackGhost]

Idk squicky feels like you're reaching a bit here, I vote Clowney for jags.
Edit: my bad didn't realize Clowney was gone. Bortles is the pick

Jags take Bortles methinks.

Only if he put the ball in the wrong hoop

Those basketball games are the best.

I always give any non basketball prize away. Sometime I even give the ball away because the quality is horrible.

PRISONER STATUS
Released: None
Released (Parole): Tom Penny, Slo
Missing/Escaped: Godslay
Dead: None

The guard puts down yankeehater and Futurevoid, though has to knock Futurevoid unconscious in the process. He then turns his attention to the still rampaging Kave_Man still busting up shower heads. Several others in the cell block try to focus on their laundry duties.

It only takes 5 minutes for Kave to be subdued and cuffed. The guard then proceeds to move everyone back to their cells.



Meanwhile MechDX. heading to the workshop for his shift, is still pissed off at having been attacked with a power drill while unconscious.



On the way to the workshop he spots Greg going into the laundry room with a laundry cart. Pissed off at what he and his crew escalated the day before, he chases after him to pick a fight.

They quickly come to blows and a guard from the workshop comes in to break it up. While that's going on BlackGhost has somehow gotten away from the cell block and is trying to make a break for it and is being chased by a guard (hidden behind the To Do list).

MechDX is quickly cuffed but Greg is putting up more of a fight. BlackGhost tries to lose the chasing guard.

With Greg finally down and cuffed the guard quickly runs out to try and help contain BlackGhost.

BlackGhost is severely beat down once again and cuffed.



DM meanwhile has avoided all of the drama over the past few days and continues to work his assigned job, and has suspiciously stayed away from attracting any attention.



Meanwhile in the holding cell, MechDX is still super pissed off and attacks the guard soon after the cuffs come off.

Mech is beaten unconscious. As that goes on, outside a worker brings in sheet metal materials for the workshop as other workers dump garbage. The guard heads out to quickly open the door for the worker.

Lunch is a quiet affair. DM and his crew discuss what to do next as Frankman stays off on his own.



More people show up for lunch. Things are slow going as many inmates aren't feeling very motivated to move any quicker.



After lunch everyone heads off to their afternoon work shift.



DM and Buckethead, on laundry duty, have a quick laugh at Greg who's still cuffed and stuck in the laundry room awaiting escort to the cell block.



On the way back to the laundry room, DM is jumped by BlackGhost. He takes out a shiv he quickly fashioned from the canteen earlier in the day to defend himself and manages to knock BlackGhost out and he lies bleeding on the ground. The fight attracts the guard on duty and he moves in. RBH approaches as well, looking to take advantage of the situation.

DM knocks out the guard and then charges RBH!

WedgeX runs up to back RBH up but breaks off as another guard manages to run over and take out DM. He is cuffed, but not before stabbing RBH a couple times.

As the guard is distracted by DM's mess, Cloudy grabs the dropped keys and makes a break for it!

Cloudy is almost home free, but a guard is catching up!



He fights for his life, pixels away from freedom. They fight unarmed, mano-a-mano. Can Cloudy fight off the guard and break free?

-----

Will Cloudy get away from the guard and join Godslay as another escapee? Find out next time!
