Comparison Draft Idea
 

Anyone up for a little comparison drafting off the same draft board?

Fanspeak.com has about 7 or 8 draft boards up, will let you do a complete 7-round draft WITH the compensatory selections and traded picks up there. If we all used the same board, it would give us a good common base (even if we still dispute a player's availability) to go from.

If you're up for it, then let's decide which board to use...

Optimum Scouting, Matt Miller, Draft TV, Mocking the Draft. Which one would you prefer?

Fanspeak has Kevin White at #8. Drafttek has White at #14.

Which board overall do you think is the best of the ones they have? I'd just like to see us pick one (flawed though it may be) so we have the same basis for picks.

Ehh....it's really the flip of a coin. I guess you could go with Fanspeak's board.

All of those boards are a joke, which is what makes fanspeak a joke. I wouldn't use a single one. I might consider, and that is a big maybe, New Era's (Matt Miller). The rest you could flush down the toilet.

Using Miller's board.....I pulled this.

1: R1P18
CB MARCUS PETERS WASHINGTON
2: R2P17
ILB BENARDRICK MCKINNEY MISSISSIPPI STATE
3: R3P16
OT ROB HAVENSTEIN WISCONSIN
4: R3P34
WR JUSTIN HARDY EAST CAROLINA
5: R4P19
TE JEFF HEUERMAN OHIO STATE
6: R5P36
S CODY PREWITT OLE MISS
7: R5P37
G JAMIL DOUGLAS ARIZONA STATE
8: R6P17
WR DARREN WALLER GEORGIA TECH
9: R6P42
DE ANTHONY CHICKILLO MIAMI (FLA.)
10: R7P16
QB SEAN MANNION OREGON STATE

Alright, let's do Miller's. I'll work one up now.

Very similar to what I got:

CB MARCUS PETERS
WASHINGTON


WR DEVIN SMITH
OHIO STATE


OT DONOVAN SMITH
PENN STATE


TE JEFF HEUERMAN
OHIO STATE


WR RASHAD GREENE
FLORIDA STATE


DT BOBBY RICHARDSON
INDIANA


OT ROBERT MYERS
TENNESSEE STATE


S CLAYTON GEATHERS
UCF


ILB ZACH VIGIL
UTAH STATE


ILB BRYCE HAGER
BAYLOR

Go with realistic prospects or take the top available dudes? Just ran my first sim and Winston, White, Peters, Beasley, and Scherff were all available at pick 18.

Yeah....if something screwy happens....I just restart that shit.

Ok, here's my best shot:

1.18: Devante Parker, WR, Louisville (Yep, he was up there.)
2.17: Maxx Williams, TE, Minnesota
3.16: Ereck Flowers, OT, Miami (FL)
3.34: Senquez Golson, CB, Mississippi
4.19: Sammie Coates, WR, Auburn
5.36: Shaquille Mason, C/G, Georgia Tech
5.37: Chris Hackett, S, Texas Christian
6.17: Trey Williams, RB, Texas A&M
6.42: Anthony Chickillo, DE, Miami (FL)
7.16: Robert Myers, OT, Tennessee-Chattanooga

I would say the (Yep, he was there.) applies to the entire draft save 3.34, 5.36 and 6.17.

Stay realistic, if you can. I'm thinking its increasingly likely that Parker makes it to our pick, though.
