[Exe Gesis]

Pick 7 for both. May not work out on gg's calculator but given the history of those picks you will end up better off.

Do not make light of the Value Machine.

 

[Exe Gesis]

What's your best offer?

Guy I have in mind at 2 imo is close to a sure thing so I'm comfortable there.... 3 I'm not as confident.

Gurley - 2
Mariota - 3

Now i know

With PB taking Winston - 1

 

[Exe Gesis]

Biggest #5 overall bust?

2009: Mark Sanchez QB Redragger
2010: CJ Spiller RB Cassius_Clay
2011: Julio Jones WR Manureid
2012: Russell Wilson QB GG
2013: Montee Ball RB Woodson
2014: Teddy Bridgewater QB Wizard

Much better strike rate again. Tho not as good as the #4 pick.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Biggest #6 overall bust?

2009: Matt Stafford QB Mordikai
2010: Sam Bradford QB Redragger
2011: Mikel Leshoure RB Cassius_Clay
2012: Justin Blackmon WR Wizard
2013: Cordarrelle Patterson WR GG
2014: Jordan Matthews WR Manureid

Started off great, but died down since then.

Clearly, the #4 overall pick stands out as most successful strike-rate of the top 6 picks.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Biggest #7 overall bust?

2009: Brian Robiskie WR GG
2010: Demaryius Thomas WR Redragger
2011: Daniel Thomas RB Nakeddeadguy
2012: Kendall Wright WR Balmainforever
2013: Eddie Lacy RB Manureid
2014: Bishop Sankey RB Cassius_Clay

Another poor strike rate.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Biggest #8 overall bust?

2009: LeSean McCoy RB JeffDunne
2010: Montario Hardesty RB Mordikai
2011: Greg Little WR Cassius_Clay
2012: David Wilson RB GG
2013: Aaron Dobson WR GG
2014: Carlos Hyde RB Woodson

Pathetic strike-rate.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Biggest #9 overall bust?

2009: Shonn Greene RB Cassius_Clay
2010: Arrelious Benn WR Wizard
2011: Torrey Smith WR TheGreatBarryB
2012: Michael Floyd WR TheGreatBarryB
2013: Zac Stacey RB Peterbuch74
2014: Kelvin Benjamin WR Manureid

Another poor strike-rate.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Biggest #10 overall bust?

2009: Hakeem Nicks WR Nakeddeadguy
2010: Toby Gerhart RB Nakeddeadguy
2011: Demarco Murray RB GG
2012: Alshon Jeffery WR Nakeddeadguy
2013: Terrance Williams WR GG
2014: Ryan Shazier LB Woodson

Much better strike-rate. 4/6. Looks like the #10 pick is also a great place to be!

 

[Exe Gesis]

Biggest #11 overall bust?

2009: Percy Harvin WR Dspeed
2010: Golden Tate WR JeffDunne
2011: Shane Vereen RB Mordikai
2012: Ryan Tannehill QB drd23
2013: EJ Manuel QB Manureid
2014: Blake Bortles QB Nakeddeadguy

Kinda murky that one. Some good players, not quite busts, but not studs either. Still a fairly ok place to pick from.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Biggest #12 overall bust?

2009: Austin Collie WR Woodson
2010: Jimmy Clausen QB TheGreatBarryB
2011: Ricky Stanzi QB GG
2012: Brandon Weeden QB Peterbuch74
2013: Markus Wheaton WR Peterbuch74
2014: Devonta Freeman RB Nakeddeadguy

Again, bustville.

 

[NakedDeadGuy]

Time for a mock:

1 - PeterBuch : Jameis Winston, with QB so valuable in this league, PB can't afford to pass this one up. Will get every opportunity to play, and I think he'll be a stud.
2 & 3 - Wizard : With Eli & Teddy, has the foundations of 2 good QBs. Fantastic spots to be picking, will surely improve next year with top RB & WR in Todd Gurley & Amari Cooper. Bonza.
4 - Woodson: Melvin Gordon, Woodson needs help across the board but think there's a big drop until the next RBs.
5 - Balmain : Skill positions besides QB are either old or average. Can see this mob dropping off in a hurry, not good enough to win now and going to lose most of their best players. Rebuild on the cards, I think Mariota is the pick just because Qbs are so valuable in this league.
6 - GG : Some RB we all thought would go in the 4th. Lot of RBs on the roster, mostly ordinary. God knows really, BPA here is Kevin White, so in saying that GG will pick TJ Yeldon RB.
7 - Manu - WR the only soft spot on the roster, Kevin White falls into his lap. Value.
8 - PeterBuch - Davante Parker WR.
9 - TGBB - Really needs another QB but none to be taken this high. Ameer Abdullah RB the pick.
10 - Daggles - Like everyone could use RB help - Duke Johnson RB will be the starter in Cleveland by week 5.
11 - Wizard - Bastard, already has Gurley & Cooper, and now Nelson Agholor falls into his lap. Starting to build a very good dynasty roster.
12 - DRD - WR position of need, Breshard Perriman the safest available.

------------------------------------------

32 - NDG : With the pick this draft will be remembered for, Cameron Artis-Payne.

 

[Exe Gesis]

So to summarize, strike-rates of the 12 picks...

#01: 2/6
#02: 2/6
#03: 1/6
#04: 5/6
#05: 3/6
#06: 1/6
#07: 3/6
#08: 1/6
#09: 2/6
#10: 4/6
#11: 2/6
#12: 0/6

Total: 26/72 (terrible from all of us)

 

[Exe Gesis]

Of the 72 first round picks taken...

28 were RBs
27 were WRs
16 were QBs
1 was a LB

Strike-rates for those....

RB: 5/28
WR: 15/27
QB: 6/16
LB: 0/1

 

[Woodson]

Woodson you own the #4 pick. I own the #6. I want to trade up to #4 !!

Duly Noted..

There are a few projector overheads I'd like to show LD first..

Draft Strategy is very important THIS YEAR. Will get back to you next week. drd23 has already booked an appointment with LD so take a queue ticket.

Calvin who?

 

[Dagless]

Biggest #1 overall bust? Rank them in your opinion....

2009: Donald Brown RB GG
2010: Ryan Mathews RB Manureid
2011: Mark Ingram RB Wizard
2012: Andrew Luck QB Manureid
2013: Tavon Austin WR Manureid
2014: Mike Evans WR GG

2010 and 2013.

Should have moved Tavon when he was worth something...

I can say the same, don't worry.

 

[Dagless]

Calvin who?

Lets get this started. dspeed cut to 34, not like players 35-40 are going to make much difference.

Expect the following response....."omg it's only MAY"

Right now he only isn't out of some self guided 'ideals'.

Which really means he's too lazy and wants preseason to do his work for him research-wise.
