....lybob Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 After doing 11 Fanspeak Bills drafts 5 rounds you see the beauty of the Bills off-season allowing BPA - used all 4 big boards - 4 fanspeak, 3 Walter, 2 DraftTV, 2 Ourlads some drafts are better and some are worse but all are pretty good - some guys you'd like get grabbed but there are enough good players they can't grab them all and often there is a guy you can't believe is still there. 9 OT GREG ROBINSON AUBURN 41 TE AUSTIN SEFERIAN-JENKINS WASHINGTON 73 DE STEPHON TUITT NOTRE DAME 109 WR CODY LATIMER INDIANA 149 QB LOGAN THOMAS VIRGINIA TECH 9 DT AARON DONALD PITTSBURGH 41 TE AUSTIN SEFERIAN-JENKINS WASHINGTON 73 RB CARLOS HYDE OHIO STATE 109 OT ANTONIO RICHARDSON TENNESSEE 149 CB WALT AIKENS LIBERTY 9 OT GREG ROBINSON AUBURN 41 TE AUSTIN SEFERIAN-JENKINS WASHINGTON 73 RB CARLOS HYDE OHIO STATE 109 QB TOM SAVAGE PITTSBURGH 149 DE JAMES GAYLE VIRGINIA TECH 9 WR SAMMY WATKINS CLEMSON 41 TE AUSTIN SEFERIAN-JENKINS WASHINGTON 73 RB CARLOS HYDE OHIO STATE 109 DE CHRIS SMITH ARKANSAS 149 OT SEANTREL HENDERSON MIAMI 9 OT JAKE MATTHEWS TEXAS A&M 41 ILB C.J.

SBUffalo Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Has nobody learned how useless these are? Allen Robinson in the 4th, Kelvin Benjamin in the 3rd, Kony Ealy in the 3rd, AJ McCarron in the 5th, Moncrief in the 4th and Richardson in the 4th are all ridiculous.
....lybob Posted April 30, 2014 Author Posted April 30, 2014 Every year people drop no, one knows who will drop but there will be people who drop a couple of places and sometimes a couple of rounds.
CSBill Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Hard to conceive of any scenario where Robinson or Watkins drop to 9, Matthew, maybe? Hopefully? The other two, not happening.
Kirby Jackson Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) That is why fanspeak is ridiculous. I always liked this one better http://First-Pick.com (although the trading can be a bit much). The picks seem to be more realistic. Edited April 30, 2014 by Kirby Jackson
Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Whaa???? This is craziness. Here is mine: 1st- Khalil Mack 2nd- Jake Matthews 3rd- Sammy Watkins 4th- CJ Mosley 5th- Aaron Donald 7th- best punter available (hey you have to be realistic)
White Linen Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Every year people drop no, one knows who will drop but there will be people who drop a couple of places and sometimes a couple of rounds. So you feel that some of these scenarios could and will happen?
xsoldier54 Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 I've been doing the fanspeak draft for weeks, just for fun with decent results. Thought I would try the first-pick one. Did it twice complete with trades and here is what I got. Round 1 Pick 30 (S.F.): Dee Ford, DE, Auburn (B) Round 2 Pick 9: Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE, Washington (B+) Round 2 Pick 24 (S.F.): Antonio Richardson, OT, Tennessee (A-) Round 2 Pick 29 (S.F.): Carlos Hyde, RB, Ohio State (A-) Round 3 Pick 9: Christian Kirksey, OLB, Iowa (B) Round 4 Pick 26 (N.O.): Ahmad Dixon, SS, Baylor (A-) Round 5 Pick 9: Ed Stinson, DE, Alabama © Round 5 Pick 27 (N.O.): Brandon Coleman, WR, Rutgers (A) Round 5 Pick 29 (N.O.): Bennett Jackson, CB, Notre Dame (B+) Round 7 Pick 9: Jeremiah George, ILB, Iowa State ( Second time: Round 1 Pick 18 (NYJ): Aaron Donald, DT, Pittsburgh (A) Round 2 Pick 10 (TENN): Dee Ford, DE, Auburn (A-) Round 2 Pick 17 (NYJ): Jace Amaro, TE, Texas Tech (A) Round 3 Pick 9: Cyril Richardson, OG, Baylor (A-) Round 4 Pick 22 (PHI): Ahmad Dixon, SS, Baylor (B+) Round 5 Pick 9: Charles Leno, OT, Boise State (B) Round 5 Pick 22 (PHI): Brandon Coleman, WR, Rutgers (A) Round 7 Pick 9: Avery Patterson, FS, Oregon (D)

The big difference to me is that on fanspeak you may see like: Ealy, Yankey and Gabe Jackson off the board by the time the Bills pick at 9. That just isn't going to happen.

Do we have enought rookie salary cap for this?
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 The one way it could happen is if QB's do go early. Back in Jan you had in some mocks, Bridgewater, Manzeil, and Bortles all going in top seven, on top of that Watkins wasn't rated quite as high back then. If that were to happen then some real good talent drops to nine. That's my hope a bunch of temas panic over QB's and draft them early. If the Manzeil to Dallas rumors are true, could you trade down with them, although also will admit not sure I'd want to go quite that low. Would want multiple picks back. Hard to conceive of any scenario where Robinson or Watkins drop to 9, Matthew, maybe? Hopefully? The other two, not happening.
....lybob Posted May 1, 2014 Author Posted May 1, 2014 Yeah, that doesn't seem that realistic. The big difference to me is that on fanspeak you may see like: Ealy, Yankey and Gabe Jackson off the board by the time the Bills pick at 9. That just isn't going to happen. How about this it cost me a 1rd 2015 besides a 2nd 4th and 7th- too much? Round 1 Pick 9: Greg Robinson, OT, Auburn (A) Round 1 Pick 12 (NYG): Aaron Donald, DT, Pittsburgh (A) Round 3 Pick 9: Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE, Washington (A) Round 5 Pick 9: Jerick McKinnon, RB, Georgia Southern (B)
NewEra Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Those drafts are stupid. I enjoyed them the first year but they got old too quick. Too many good players slip too far Edited May 1, 2014 by NewEra
xsoldier54 Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 I like it. Do we have enought rookie salary cap for this? I think we have enough cap money for the extra picks. Those drafts are stupid. I enjoyed them the first year but they got old too quick. Too many good players slip too far Then don't do them. They are just for fun and it helps familiarize you with the players because you have to do a bit of research before making your picks. Nobody claimed that they were accurate.
BarleyNY Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Has nobody learned how useless these are? Allen Robinson in the 4th, Kelvin Benjamin in the 3rd, Kony Ealy in the 3rd, AJ McCarron in the 5th, Moncrief in the 4th and Richardson in the 4th are all ridiculous. It's still probably better than Kiper's. They're fun and no harm is done. While specific players won't drop, some will. This draft is deep.
CountryCletus Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 Those are all great, but NONE of them are realistic...
