PFF Draft Simulator

Well, when I correctly picked Akiem Hicks in the third round back in the day... I retired from doing mock drafts.

I considered that a win and left the "game" as a winner.

Who truly cares who likes to mock draft or not. If someone likes it great, if not great. No one needs to explain anything either way because it just isn't relevant. If you said directly subguy do you do a mock draft, I would say no, because I don't. I really won't explain anything more. Geesh, almost an entire thread, first Boston calling out AG because he for some reason he felt the need to have a gotcha moment with AG. Then AG explaining, for whatever reason he felt compelled.

Nothing to see here, move along

I don't think so. He had a couple of standout games (one in the playoffs I'd like to forget), but was he anywhere what Jimmy Graham was with Drew Brees?

Secondly, for the No. 6 pick, did he really have that big an impact on the overall winning of that team? An impressive role player, contributor - yes...

But did him taking the field elevate the team like a franchise QB, shut-down CB, Dominant D-Lineman, or an Alka-Seltzer Neutralizer on the offensive line? Not even close...

Weigh his overall ranking amongst his peers at the position - Gronk, Graham, Tony Gonzalez, Jason Witten, Antonio Gates, Greg Olsen, Dallas Clark...

He never had 1000 ReYds in a season; only two (2) seasons of double digit ReTds (13), the 1st wasn't until Year 4; he avg just 3 ReTD avg in all the other seasons...

For that pick, like Reggie Bush picked in the same draft, there was all that buzz, and well, just a solid career?

Do really you want solid from the 6th pick? and not being an offensive lineman?

For me, that's bust, maybe not Tony Mandarich bust, but a bust for that high a pick...

I think he got drafted into the wrong offense. Never played with a great QB. If we had him in his prime he’d have numbers like Gonzalez.

Not even the the notorious 2014 Draft?

Brandin Cooks, WR. 2014 Draft: First Round, 20th Overall: ...

Stanley Jean-Baptiste, CB. 2014 Draft: Second Round, 58th Overall. (and passing on WR Landry when we needed one in a deep WR draft because we were silly and took only Cooks instead)

Khairi Fortt, LB. 2014 Draft: Fourth Round, 126th Overall: ...
Vinnie Sunseri, S. 2014 Draft: Fifth Round, 167th Overall: ...
Ronald Powell, OLB. 2014 Draft: Fifth Round, 169th Overall: ...
Tavon Rooks, OT.

None but Cooks even in the NFL. Got the entire Scouting Dept fired and brought use ireland. That's what disappointment does. Or, as Forrest Gump's momma would say, "Stupid is what Stupid does."

What the hell was Ryan Pace thinking here?

Cooks good for a minute but the supporting cast ...

That was ugly.

28 Christina Barmore DL
60 Caleb Farley CB (+ we sign Sherman)
98 Tylan Wallace WR
105 Davis Mills QB

Pace, or Sean?

Sean won a Superbowl, one more than this franchise ever thought it'd see, but he got Don Shula life-time tenure for it. So no one can question Sean...

Maybe. But it's a bust pick if you invest that much and don't put things in place to make it all work...

But great players, as should be drafted like that, are expected to elevate irregardless of who's in place...

True. #6 is really high to go and not go crazy.
