You Are The Gm

[Wokezone]

It is pick 32, you are on the clock

These 2 people are there

Barrett Jones (LT,LG,RG,C,RT) He can and has played all positions on the Oline with great success is there

Johnathan Jenkins- (DT) stud DT that is a difference maker is there

Which one do you take?

Im going Johnathan Jenkins at this point. him and babs tag teaming it would be scary or think of our big set with

Peters, Vance, Jenkins, Babs

[falcons007]

No OL in first round for me. Don't mind a TE,RB and DE, all those positions with immediate need because of losing veteran players.

I know about next to nothing about college football, but I would draft Barret Jones. Our defense has enough developing guys in that position, and we don't really need another one, and Jones from your description sounds like can be a difference maker from day one.

[LightningDawg58]

I really like Jenkins and having a guy like him will help us transition into the 3-4 defense that Nolan is an expert at running. Just think of how good we are already in a scheme that's not his preferred choice.

It would be nice however to go ahead and establish a dominant offensive line that could both run and pass block for once

[Guest facelessman07]

I trade back

[birdz4i]

i d rather have help outside than inside.

[FALCOHOLIC93]

Jenkins

[Falcon Fred]

Well.. Usually in madden when I go undefeated and win the superbowl I usually have the 32nd pick.. I usually trade back for next years first round pick to a crappy team. haha hey this thread says I am the GM,.. that's what I do thought some of you would like my madden reference

[Cam Topdrew Bottom]

Probably Jones. Any player that is 350+ I have concerns about.

[A-TowN.-]

Jenkins. Seen Jones get handled too much for my liking.

[Tuggle'2]

Tyler Eifert - Irish!

[A-TowN.-]

Tyler Eifert - Irish!

I don't want him. Not because he's no good, but because that would mean our TE spot would be open, and Tony would be gone he's the best TE in this draft though hands down.

Nolan has actually spent more time in his career as a DC running a 4-3 than a 3-4, and this current D is top 5 in scoring, so what makes you think he's gonna screw with it?

[k-train]

At 32 I'd take Gio Bernard.

[Kayoh]

Neither one. Who else is available? This is an awful hypothetical.

[Cam Topdrew Bottom]

Tyler Eifert - Irish!

Eifert and Anthony Barr from UCLA are the only two guys I really want in the first.

[Karst41]

Y'ALL SERIOUSLE NEED TO GET PAST THIS EIFERT MAN CRUSH.

Dude is a top 15 pick and will not slide.

As your GM I will give you all one last chance to get busy scouting

or I will find somebody that will.

Now being that picks 28-32 are nothing more than Top Tier 2nd round picks

we best get busy on the players that present the Best Overall value.

Here you can land a Blue Chip OG, and we want massive road grader with

good feet for pass protection.

The Premier D Line 3-4 and 4-3 will already be gone.

You all say that you are tired of drafting O Line, but

Bytch after the game that Ryan has no pass protection.

Well By Gawd! we are going to fix that with our first and 4th picks

Unless a dynamic RB somehow slips through the cracks.

I am not your Dime a Dozen Message Board GM.

I am the Message Board GM that has 2 plastic wraped rolls of quarters.

So Either get busy being real or it is Me vs all of you at the Waffle House

[Tuggle'2]

We will win some games this year for sure in the playoffs. If we miss the bowl he wont want to quit. We bring in another stud TE to shadow tony all year and there ya have it. JJ , White , Tony , Eifert , Patterson , Quizz , ANd new RB.. sounds great. Use FA for the RG position and maybe a ILB or DE.

I think we could do it. it was cost a little but we could do it. Not ifs near the JJ price but a reasonable price is okay.

[Karst41]

I do not think so.

Have you ran the numbers on trading up?

Unless we get some comp picks we would better position ourselfs

by trading down.

Here we can probably beat up Cleveland on the deal

We get their second round pick and their 5th.

We could then Trade down Clevelands second and clean up in rounds 3,4, 5 and 6th.

But lets focus on Cleveland or KC to start with.

Whoever Mike Nolan wants.

Why is Eifert a top 15 lock? He isn't the physical freak that is going to blow up the combine plus he doesn't have filthy stats. He is a nice TE prospect but far from a top 15 lock. Who are the last TEs to go in the top 15? Winslos Jr. and Davis but that was because they were freak athletes and Eifert is not.

Without that freak athleticism it is really hard to say he will be a top 15 lock as a TE.

Not a big fan of trading down unless it means trading back up later. We will get 4 comp picks(lost Lofton, Hayden, Sanders and Weems but signed no one). That leaves us at 11 picks which is already too many to even find PS spots for.

TE has evolved in the NFL.

The #1 TE in the draft will not slide no matter what.

Bradford is struggling with the Rams and they are not getting any noteable

production from their TE's.

Eifert is gone ny #15 and a slide would see him off the boards before 20.

So If as you say he is not a Freak then why would we trade up for this guy

when we already have Chase Coffman?

Protecting Ryan is the #1 Priority this year unless a DLineman slides down.

I never said trade up for him but if he is there at the back half of round 1, which isn't all that unlikely, I would love the pick.

The TE position hasn't evolved all that much aside from Gronk being freakishly good. Before Gronk we had guys like Witten, Gates and Gonzo plus lesser guys putting up 700-1000 yards a season which is what the better pass catching TEs are doing now. Outside of Gronk/Graham busting the TE records last year and become in vogue for a while not much else has really changed and no teams were running out to spend top 15 picks on TEs.

Lots of guys with similar pedigree and athleticism to Eifert have gone late round 1. Guys like Zach Miller, Dustin Keller, and Greg Olsen. Even ND products Carlson and Rudolph who had similar size speed and production to Eifert went early 2nd.

I can certainly see Eifert going earlier but I just don't think it is a lock. If he is gone I have no problem really with taking any position outside of QB and WR. I really don't think we will find many(any?) starters but we really can use depth/talent all over. We can afford to take the best player on the board.
