The Skins had to wait a while before they could pick, and unfortunately their draft was not as strong as it could be, with a reach and two unselected players. From their six picks, the Skins scored 10 points, for an average of 1.67 points per pick.

Indianapolis Colts - Dirty Bird

Demarcus Lawrence     3

Bene Benwikere        4

Like the Skins, the Colts needed to wait a while before they were on the clock, and while they started off well, the way was lost for a little bit, before they finished the draft strongly. From their five picks, the Colts scored 10 points, for an average of 2 points per pick.

So, based on the points system I devised earlier, Striker475 claims the throne of the best mock GM for the 2014 mock BigFooty draft with an average of 4.27 points per pick, slightly ahead of quin_stick, who averaged 4.22 points per pick. Overall, we averaged 2.79 points per pick and the median draft was 2.77 points per pick.

[GeeCats07]

Great work, Dixie. Great work.

 

[Dirty Bird]

I love how you left the best to last.
I have a good history with the colts.
Lawrence for DROTY

 

[Broken]

Nice stuff Dixie

I felt I had a solid, not spectacular draft, with the players I choose. Obviously not according to this (and NFL evaluators).

Would be interested in revisiting this after a season or two.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Last two picks ruined me.

Thought Max Bullough was a sure thing to be drafted.

 

[Sven]

Nice analysis Dixie Flatline - great work!

My only comment is that the way you calculate the scores favours the teams that pick at the start of the round

the scores:
5 points - within 10 spots in the same round (but selected by a different team)
3 points - for being in the same round but outside 10 picks
3 points - for being within five picks of a pick in a later round

would be better if it was just stated as:

5 points - within 10 spots (but selected by a different team)
3 points - for being within 32 picks but outside 10 picks (but selected by a different team)

Personally, I don't see a player as a reach if that player wasn't available to pick with the teams 's next pick.

A minor point and, apart from the Vic Hampton pick (which was while I was on holiday, and didn't realise he'd been arrested 7 days earlier) I was more than happy with my picks for the Bengals.

 

[LeverPuller]

Winning.

Player              Points
-----------------------------
Aaron Donald          Simply the best
Allen Robinson        Was a star for the Jaguars before going down. Expecting big things in the forseeable future.
Jackson Jeffcoat      Did his part for the Cowboys getting a sack to help knock the Eagles out of the playoffs
Anthony Steen         Fringe Player/ Practice squad for the Cardinals. Could help in the playoffs. 
Christian Kirksey     Not as impressive as Borland/ Mosley but good value this deep in the draft. 
Tyler Gaffney         I/R designated player. Could of done well in the Cowboys. 
Brandon Dixon         Starting to get some time for the Bucs. Don't know how well he is playing though. 
Kasim Edebal         Looks like a core player for the future. Already got two sacks in his first season. 
Cornelius Lucas       Just a project backup with some potential. Too early to tell. 
Elhadji Ndiaye        *Crickets* Late prospect that didn't keep a roster spot anywhere.

I do love the team I drafted however I can't say for certain whether Zach Martin or Aaron Donald would of been the better choice if the Cowboys had their pick. Overall it's way too early to tell. [/QUOTE]

Dixie Flatline

can we get some grades now for this seeing as we now have stats etc of this draft class.

 

[Dagless]

Kansas City Chiefs - Dagless

Player              Points
-----------------------------
Zack Martin           5
Martavis Bryant       1
Aaron Colvin          5
Devonta Freeman       3
Larry Webster         4
Devon Kennard         3

The Chiefs' mock GM put together one of the better mock drafts this year, with only Bryant standing out as a reach. The Chiefs scored 21 points from their six picks, for an average of 3.5 points per pick.

Well, this would have been quite the draft for the Chiefs...

 

[Blacky]

Pretty happy with my draft for Cleveland too

If it wasn't for injury it would have been blinder

EJ Gaines was the standout pick (as was the decision to not wait to draft a QB)

 

[Blacky]

Cleveland Browns - Blacky

Player              Points
-----------------------------
Teddy Bridgewater     3
Jimmie Ward           3
Kyle Van Noy          5
Brandon Thomas        3
EJ Gaines             1
Carlos Hyde           3
Cody Latimer          4
Andrew Jackson        1
Xavier Grimble        0
Andre Hal             5

Not many outstanding picks for the Browns in the mock draft compared to how the real draft went down. In the mock draft, the Browns took Teddy Bridgewater at #4, overlooking Johnny Manziel, and then parlayed the #26 pick into a number of picks early in the second round. On the flipside, the Browns mocked only one player who was not drafted and two players who could be considered "reaches".

The Browns scored 28 points from their 10 picks in the mock draft, for an average of 2.8 points per pick.

Louis Nix III 1
Bashaud Breeland 1
Trai Turner 5
T.J. Jones 1
Brock Coyle 0
Max Hall 0
Jay Bromley 6

Nix has been on IR all year

Breeland and Turner are going to be 10+ years starters

pretty much nothing else though

 

[LeverPuller]

My Jacksonville draft

 

[Shade]

My Jacksonville draft

G-Rob will be a stud and Bodine has stepped in pretty nicely at C for the bengals

not much else though

 

[Broken]

Half my picks would have panned out alright in D.C.
Stephon Tuitt would have seen a bit of playing time on our D-line
Jack Mewhort started 14 games for the playoff making Colts.
Brian Stork started his last 9 games for the #1 seed Patriots. He and Mewhort, with Trent Williams, would have helped strengthen the o-line.

The rest are practice squad players : Ed Reynolds (Eagles), Deion Belue (Mia-Pitt-Jax-FA), L'Damian Washington (Dall-SF-NYG-Clev-Mia)
