2011 GIF Collaboration Mock Draft Discussion Thread

I apologize to everyone for screwing up the draft.

 

Okay I took them but I realized it gives me back to back picks with 2 different teams every round now...It's not a problem for me, but if anyone else really wants CHI, its all theirs.

 

No worries bro, it's all for fun anyways. You didn't steal anyones paycheck or heck their wife, don't even trip.

 

Reminds me of when I was doing Madden Leagues back in the day......the draft was my favorite part of it other than the season. I used the run the draft and monitor picks and trades. Was awesome. :icon_cool:

Almost makes me want to start up one. lol

 

Let me know if a team needs to be picked up

 

You want the Bears?

 

I can give you Seattle if you want them Snowman. They don't pick for a while though...

 

I went with Quan Sturdivant for the Titans. He fits a need at MLB because Stephen Tulloch is a free agent.

 

misfitz' pick will always makes me think of this

to be fair andrew luck is 6'4 235 pounds and shareece wright is like 195 lol

Wright is the best corner available right now and niners need actually several cbs lol

 

I can think of at least 3 CB's I would have taken ahead of Chimdi and one of them was taken right after him

 

Can I make the pick for St Louis? It's been more than 4 hours.

 

If its been over 4 hours you definitely can, you dont need any permission, lol. Andy is a Brit though, its not exactly his fault that he cant conform to our colonial time restrictions.

 

i would make the pick but im a 49er fan and i would draft like Greg mcelroy or something they dont need lol

 

I went with Daniel Thomas for St Louis, In today's NFL teams are not going with one feature back. Thomas is a beast and at 6-2, 230 can still put a 4.6 40 on you. He won't get the corner on anyone, but he will blast you and make you tackle him. With Jackson getting older, he will provide a nice compliment while maintaining the size that jackson brings without losing much speed.

 

Can't please everybody. lol

Chimdi has a nice blend of size and speed and also adds value as a return specialist. The Lions could really use someone as versatile as Chimdi imo.

 

I went with Rackley, two reasons, 1 the offensive line for the Dolphins was a joke. Two, I feel he can start at guard right now and eventually kick out to RT to move Carey inside when he gets too slow for tackle.

 

with the kickoffs being moved up, return specialists don't mean as much, for the same size I would much rather have Brandon Burton or Johnny Patrick.

 

Jacksonville STEALS a player for once instead of overdrafting

 

I believe he has more potential to be an impact corner than Burton and Patrick because of his athleticism.

The knock on Chekwa is that he's a "PBU" guy and doesn't rack up as many interceptions as you prefer. But I think that can be coached.
