Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator

Just ran one, here are my results:

Round 1, Pick 11: Derek Barnett - DE - Tennessee
- the compliment to Cam Jordan. FInally legit pressure from both ends

Round 2, Pick 10: Gareon Conley - CB - Ohio State
- thought about going LB, but felt Conley was a better value than the LBs available at the pick. Solid CB, should improve our DB group

Round 3, Pick 12: Dion Dawkins - G - Temple
- big guy, played LT at Temple but moved inside during the Senior Bowl and was successful. Nasty guy, plays hard, quick feet... should fill in at one of our guard spots

Round 4, Pick 11: Connor Harris - ILB - Lindenwood
- small school guy, with reported great work ethic and high character. Set NCAA for college tackle record of 633 tackles during his career. Also, projected as one of the fastest ILBs in the draft (4.65 prediction). Adding speed to our defense

Round 6, Pick 12: Tarik Cohen - RB - North Carolina A&T
- nicknamed the "human joystick", and called by NFL.com as Darren Sproles 2.0. Small but quick, stops on a dime and makes great cuts with excellent vision

Round 7, Pick 11: Eric Saubert - TE - Drake
- another small school guy, put up solid numbers. Had a great week at the East-West Shrine Game, but tendency to drop balls. Late round TE who still put up good numbers, so why not?

I like Gareon Conley over Marshon Lattimore -
Marshon Lattimore - chronic hamstring dating back to his high school
Gareon Conley - His mental game is ahead that of Lattimore's. He needs work as a tackler.

I am leaning towards Quincy Wilson because of the big slow WR/TE in our division

Cordrea Tankersley improved his all around game so much I wonder about how high his ceiling really is,

I really like him at OG but how bad will the baggage hurt his stock

I see now why he's nicknamed "Joystick". Very Barry Sanderesque. But 5'6" / 179 lbs? Wonder how long he would last.

Yes and 190 lbs. I think Tarik (178) would have to put on more muscle weight to take that nfl pounding.

Ok cool. I don't know what Sproles weighed coming out of college.

Edit: Sproles was 187 on his pro day. 9 lbs on a 5'6" Frame makes a big difference.

I'm not seeing Barnett's game translating to our defense, much less the NFL as he's a one-trick pony - Keep seeing Danny Wuerffel - Great College Player, Lacks elite athleticism for a pick this high, and lacks size, length for the Pro 4-3 DE; and it showed when playing the SEC big dogs; we've seen his ceiling...

Can think of four, five cornerbacks I'd take ahed of Conley; if we're taking a CB this high, be sure he's an NFL starter...

Is he out of the ARD (Accelerated Rehab Disposition) program? You know, normally for non-violent types but in his case he's a college thug-life type that should be doing three to five for aggravated assault with conspiracy but because he and Reddick are local college thug heroes, they get special dispensation with a non-admission plea? Besides, Dawkins' technique is awful; maybe Houston will pick him and JJ Watt will beat his @ss in training camp and he'll wash out...

I like this guy, I really do; reminds me of a Sam Mills/Zach Thomas type potential, but there are a couple of these guys per draft season and their size is their undoing; you picked him where he's slotted, but I'd wait and see if he fall to mid-fifth, maybe sixth and then move to get him...

We had Darren Sproles 1.0 and let him out of the door and was perfectly summarized by Drew Brees, "You only see a Darren Sproles type of player come around once in your career." We were saying the same thing with Murphy...

"...but tendency to drop balls..." - Don't we have this guy under contract already? Or do we just want that player at a cheaper clip? Actually I like Saubert and he'll be more of a Todd Christensen type tight end and a little more reliable than the Human Mullet...
