Great Mock Draft Site

[Maxie the Taxi]

I discovered this site a couple days ago and it's addictive. It allows you to be TT and draft prospective Packer players through 7 rounds. The computer drafts for the other teams based on team needs and what "Big Board" you choose. (There are 7 or so Big Boards to choose from and what a difference depending on which one you choose.) It gives you a great prospective on what TT is faced with.

Great fun: http://fanspeak.com/ontheclock/

yeah, i'm guessing i'm about to piss away a few weeks on this site

[Rastak]

Very cool.

I gave it a whirl.....

Vikings:

1st - Trae Waynes - CB
2nd - Melvin Gordon - RB

Packers:

1st - Shaq Thompson - LB
2nd - Bobby Richardson - DT

I'm telling you it's really addictive. I find the "Detroit Lions" Big Board is really frustrating for drafting guys the Pack needs.

I've had that premium for the last couple months... pretty good. it'll be better once They throw in the comps

[Brandon494]

That was fun, how much is the premium?

Tried one or two, they seem to show Mariota dropping out of the top 10, and Gordon into the second round. Eric Kendricks, the ILB from UCLA has been on the board when the Pack picks, it's be more than fine with that.

I want to say like $7.95 or something. I think that's good for the whole year...

It may have been only $5. I got my money's worth either way...

Thanks for that link Maxie. Running through those drafts really pounds home how so many guys you like at positions of need get snatched up by other teams. It makes you want to over-draft guys you think you know.

It seems like the 2nd and 3rd rounds are where the value lies throughout the defensive positions. In the drafts I ran through on the site, that's where the corners and ILB's seem to be going. Then, once you get past those rounds, the value drops at those positions because so many other teams value those spots too. I couldn't get a value pick at OLB to save my life in any round.

If things fall the way they tend to on that site, I wouldn't mind TT trading out of the first to pick up another day 2 pick and maybe trading up into the 2nd or 3rd with a couple lower picks as well.

I don't think there are many spots on the offense for a rookie to break in besides TE and maybe a blazing slot/returner. Maybe find a guard you can stash on the 53 and not suit up all year. 3rd string RB maybe but that seems to me like a waste of a pick... QB project I suppose - though I didn't see a QB drop (based on the various lists I used) in any of the drafts I conducted either.

Hopefully TT loads up on D. Hell I'd even take another safety that can play.

Stock up on day 2 picks and make it rain TT. That or do what you usually do and let the board come to you - and find the gems I've never heard about later on.

I agree with vince. It's contingent on another team wanting to make a deal, but getting a 45 overall and a 77 overall for 30 would be awesome.

I just ran a 7 round mock with the Detroit Big Board and it rolled out like this... Rd 1. ILB Stephone Anthony CLEMSON
Rd 2. DT Eddie Goldman FSU
Rd 3. ILB B. Mckinney Mississippi St.
Rd 4. WR/TE D. Funchess Mich
Rd 5. CB Senquez Golson Mississippi
Rd 6. WR Chris Conley Georgia
Rd 7. ILB Jake Ryan Mich


Anybody ok with a draft like this? hahaha

[Brandon494]

^ hope we take a CB before the 5th round

[mraynrand]

^ hope we take a CB before the 5th round

I'm betting first or second round, depending on who falls.
