Wow you guys need to stop dying!

 

[eznark]

Where did you guys go?

 

[Sokantish]

We are all in the game, it said you left

 

[McNei1y]

way to go eznark.

 

[LJ11]

FYI, I'm done, shit felt like homework.

 

[Rorschach]

Did you playoff teams end up doing the same shit as me and not even bothered with top 20 talent? I know some top 10 pick is gonna fall to me, I'm gonna end up taking him blindly, and he's gonna end up being the biggest bust ever.


In the beginning of the season, I did scout a few, but not enough to cover this eventuality.

Tell me about it. I'm almost done with the mock. Three teams left.

I didn't in years past. This year I have a decent list of guys that I probably won't get stuck for the first few rounds or so

 

[Rorschach]

I'm taking a punter, DCX. So just guess which one. Easy as pie.

 

[DCX]

All done. Just proof reading then unleashing.


fuuuuuu 1am?!?! Damn.

Same here and I'm worried I'll do the exact same thing. Need to just ignore the unscouted list.

Welcome to the the first DCX Mock Draft.

- This will be the first and final mock i make for this off-season.
- Doesn't take trades into effect so it's final as of tonight Nov 2
- CB will end up with the best lineman as he will tumble down.
- This year i will spotlight " gem ", " bust alert " and " no brainer " picks of the draft
- This is not the Official Draft order. I did my best in guessing what they would be

Lets get it on!!

1-

Finishing with just 2 wins, the Jags have alot to prove this season. Looking at the roster they need help at QB, Oline to name a couple. I believe Gabbert can still provide decent QB play so they go with LT Daniel Graham

2-

A coaching change could bring a change in philosophy for the Titans this season. Glaring weaknesses on the defense. An upgrade in the LB or CB would help immensely. I think the pick here is MLB Brandon Zuzek

3-

Entering the draft the Browns had two gaping holes one offense, QB and WR. They locked up a QB with the excellent free agent signing of Joe Flacco and now add a weapon here with WR Treon Patrick

4-

The Cowboys had a disappointing season especially with the talent on the roster. They have a glaring hole a CB as they only carry three on the roster heading into the draft but C or one of the safety spots could use upgrading. The play here is C Jordan Lonas

5-

The Cards had two big holes to fill. The QB position and RT. Kurt Warner came back to play for the Cards and now they draft RT Mathew Houston

6-

Where to start. Management didn't see eye to eye with QB Joe Flacco so they benched him in favor of Tyrod Taylor. Ray Lewis retired. What kind of team this becomes this year is a mystery but what's not is the need for a QB and C. Tyrod gets competition with free agent signing Troy Smith and They go C Brent Vincent

7-

The Jets need help on the oline. Lacking a RG and RT so they go best available here at those position with RG Kendrick Rose

8-

Losing out on free agent CB Antoine Cason is leaving a void in the secondary. They aim to fill it here with 6' 2" CB Sione Taufa

9-

The Panthers were stunned by the retirement of thier star WR Steve Smith. He has been the go to man for QB Cam Newton. With this pick they get him a new target, a huge one standing 6'4 and a solid 232, WR Antwan Barr

10-

After stunning the world and trading away super star WR Larry Fitzgerald, the Cards are poised to take his replacement here. WR Bryant Ford

11-

Seatle has been licking it's chops all draft to get one of thier top targets fall to them, the top dog has. With three TEs on the roster, the Seahawks add another one in what they believe is a superstar in the making with TE Marion Marks

12-

The Packers have very little holes. The trade winds are swirling around the trading of Aaron Rodgers. It remains to be seen if he does get moved but at the time being the roster needs some dline help especially at DE. The pick here is the best one on the board RE Jordan Grable

13-

The Falcons had a good year finishing 6-10. Good you say? Despite QB Matt Ryan throwing 63, yes 63! interceptions, they managed to win six games. If Ryan can throw half that could add 2-3 more wins. The Falcons were hoping Marks would fall into thier laps but thats highly unlikely unless they trade up. They take best available here with CB Maka Lisi

14-

The Chiefs just made a trade with the Falcons acquiring Pro Bowl CB Asante Samuel. In doing so they now have a hole at TE that will be filled here with TE Mark Pantages

15-

Madden curse struck WR Calvin Johnson. They also got hit hard losing all thier defensive ends to free agency. They hope to fill one of the spots here with the No Brainer pick of the draft RE DJ Lumpkin

16-

This is the Redskins pick ( sorry Mcniely ) and it will be used to give the defense an added punch with SS Calvin Williams

17-

Tampa Bay suffered a big loss losing LB Geno Hayes and look to replace him here with MLB Kendrick Chapman

18-

QB Ryan Tannehill had a decent start to his pro career. The lack of decent targets makes what he did even better. The GM hopes to give him a new target at either WR or TE and the depth at WR in the draft wins out. WR William Mumphrey

19-

The Vikes GM, and sexy smooth crooner, won the GM of the year award with the signing of WR Chris Owusu. He was tearing up NFL defenses having the league file many complaints to the league offices about potential PEDs. In this off-season they addressed the SS position with the signing of underated ex Falcon William Moore. Now they address the FS spot with FS Rob Boyle

20-

The second first rounder for the Rams look to bolster the LB corp with LOLB Edward Matthews

21-

One of the big winner in free agentcy was the Bengals with the signing of WWE castoff, Laron Landry. He does one thing and one thing great, SMASH! He created a log jam at the safety position but it was worth it. here they select best available with ROLB Ahmad Williams

22-

What does a team that doesn't need much help do? Get depth. In this case the Saints have a ton of LBs. It keeps them fresh at all times on the field and they add to it with LOLB Rayquez Stephens

23-

The Philly Gm has a knack of getting gems at the back end of the draft and we will spotlight this pick as the GEM of the draft. The enigma of the entire draft is the surprising choice mid season in college to change positions. It cost him in dollars as he slipped. The Eagles aren't going to let this once in a lifetime athlete go past them. The pick is WR Xavier Waters

24-

The Colts made a splash in free agency signing the stud LT Branden Albert. Looking to protect Luck and give the oline the rush it needs to allow the RBs to get to the second level. It allows the Colts to draft with calm and taking wha is given to them. How about the best DT on the board. DT Nick McGovern

25-

The Giants need help at LG. So they get it with LG Connor Taylor

26-

Needing help at both safety spots, the Broncos signed ex Patriot SS Patrick Chung and now look to draft his new running mate with FS PL Wilson

27-

With TE Marion Marks gone the entire draft board is in flames. Once they got it put out there was only one name left. DT Jesse Crenshaw

28-

Losing LB James Harrison will be tough for the Steelers. He was the driving force behind that defense along with Troy. Big shoes to fill and this guy intends to wear them well. ROLB Tyrell Stephens

29-

Raiders have been looking for a franchise QB for a long while. QB Zach Richmond was the only one in the green room. Chewing on some Starburst he got the call. The Bust Alert is high with this one. Sources say he has the potential to be even worse than Ryan Leaf and Raiders own JaMarcus Russell. QB Zach Richmond

30-

A team with amazing talent in all but one area. The Texans look to solidify their offensive line with RT Stephen Johnson

31-

The Bills had a fantastic run to the Super Bowl and may be looking for an upgrade at QB or adding a weapon to allow Fitzpatrick and the Bills Super Bowl glory. I think the Bills will choose WR Corey Henderson

32-

The Super Bowl champs have very little needs. The GM isn't in love with either QB at this stage of the game even with Alex Smith delivering the Lombardi Trophy. The pick here is QB Will Myers

In the beginning of the season, I did scout a few, but not enough to cover this eventuality.

pretty much. i feel like i scouted poorly overall because i just got a little information on a lot of guys. i'll find some ok players but i didn't want to gamble spending a lot on a small amount of guys only to not get any of them and being completely blind on my picks.

i was surprised to see there are NO kickers in the draft. that's weird

 

[BigAT]

Does anyone else HATE the way they did scouting? The recruiting in NCAA at least has some gamey elements to it, to the point that they made it tolerable if not great. Scouting is not only incredibly unfun, it's also very inefficient at trying to accomplish what you want. Even now, I have like 40K scouting points I have yet to spend because I find the process so miserable I've just said fuck it. I wish there was some option to select multiple players, then scout certain attributes on them. It's so painful to have to go through individually and repeat the process over and over.

Assigning assistant coaches to do stuff like that for you would have been great. Like auto scout and add check boxes to the attributes you want etc.

100% agree, it's really tedious. I didn't even scout Zuzek for example because i rushed it and ran out of points by the time I got to MLB.

ideally you would've done them week by week and it's not so tedious to do a couple guys here and there. but yeah saving them up and spending them all is time consuming!

 

[Rorschach]

They should let you move between players in the attributes screen instead of having to back out and go back in.

Don't care. He's mine. You know who else sat down with a lump in his throat for over 20 picks? AARON MOTHERFUCKING RODGERS!

Yeah, but I have the points saved up because I couldn't convince myself to do it each week. Even practice is more fun than scouting.

 

[Sokantish]

WHOOPS

 

[LiveWire]

FMT I accepted the trade offer. As I was inspecting Parys (he's an ROLB not LOLB btw) I noticed Aldon Smith is LOL. 23 years old with those ratings? Fuck outta here!!

 

[LJ11]

Yeah, it's probably best to do it week by week.

Bought the scout package, I'll probably have 80k points next season.

 

[eznark]

We fucked that Orc king up!!

 

[Nightz]

LOL, I pressed the PS button to check the time. =X

 

[Sokantish]

Did we call it a night? I accidentally left the room to upgrade my weapon

 

[eznark]

I'm gonna play battlefield

 

[Nightz]

Gotta charge my Vita. I'm still trying to figure out who Valessa was.

Rors, don't do it man.

 

[Nightz]

Oh ok lol, I figured he would name his character Bob.

 

[McNei1y]

First match: Jericho vs HBK vs Animal. Animal won via pin on HBK.
Second match: Dbry vs Rock vs British Bulldog. Bulldog won via pin on Rock (after I broke him through the top of the cell)

thanks bruh! and yeah, aldon is pretty wild. actually all my LB's across the board are! aldon, pwill, bowman and even brooks is pretty good!

also, in other news, livewire accepted the trade and it went through so i'm not sure what DCX was talking about with his trades not going through

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

did everyone finish scouting as much as they wanted?

Daw proposed, i accepted and it didn't work. I proposed and it didn't work either. Same thing happened when i traded for Mays. Took a couple times before it worked.

DCX

 

[Rorschach]

Rors, don't do it man.

The Raiders have always wanted a young franchise QB! Ever since Kenny Stabler!

 

[McNei1y]

KANE WINS KANE WINS KANE WINS

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

well im vancin then!

 

[eznark]

Jesus this game is gorgeous

 

[McNei1y]

Fuck you Punk.

Match Three ladder: Kane (me) vs Hawk (Sanj) vs Bork (CB). Kane wins
Match Four ladder: Punk (CB) vs Ziggler (me) vs One Man Band Heath Slater (Sanj). CB Punk wins.

 

[Colasante]

Gosh dammit DCX you didn't help me decide who to take at all. I'm certainly not taking a RT in the first round and I also have had Sanjuro's pick all season long.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Gosh dammit DCX you didn't help me decide who to take at all. I'm certainly not taking a RT in the first round and I also have had Sanjuro's pick all season long.

yeah i don't see a C or RT going in the top 10. i see you taking a WR and a TE! that's my prediction!

 

[Rorschach]

Trade the pick back for Fitz

 

[McNei1y]

Match Five (TLC): Small Christmas Kane (me) vs Gorilla Guy (sanj) vs Cody Rhodes. Cody Rhodes won, even though three Ultimo Tango's were performed on him.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

is this wrestling game anything like the N64 westling games?

 

[Colasante]

Trade the pick back for Fitz

He's old news. Michael Floyd is the new hotness. And perhaps Treon Patrick? Perhaps.

 

[eznark]

Every server I used to play in is either dead or requires premium so I started playing single player. The campaign is pretty decent in BF3.

 

[CB3]

The Rock wins on an abdominal stretch!

 

[McNei1y]

Match Six (Extreme Rules): John Cena (Sanjuro) vs The Rock '99 (CB) vs Stone Cold (me). Probably the greatest match I've seen. It was amazing up until the end when Stone Cold tapped out to an Abdominal Stretch to The Rock... What a shitty ending.
