Jalin Marshall is Braxton Lite. Also a former QB, he has played WR longer as he made the transition immediately upon coming to osu and returned punts a ton (which was boom or bust last year and much more solidly consistent this year) - a little smaller but very shifty. If we didn't take Braxton earlier, he's a nice pickup in the 6th rd. I took the ILB since we need one. I have heard of Burgess and that he's supposed to be good, but watch very little Louisville football so don't know much about him.

Higbee all damn day!

you love that guy. I will need to take a look at him.

This draft, if it were how it shook out, would get Whaley fired

I actually agree. As a group we did a terrible job. We passed up on Spence and Butler in favor of Washington and a kicker!! We took a QB in the 1st (who won't be there). We passed up on Rankins multiple times. Next time anyone here complains about our drafting we should just look here to the terrible job that we collectively did.

If you listened to Jim Monos on wgr today there is no way they pass on Spence. He went to his HS! And Shady's. He raved about him.

I think that Spence is certainly the guy if he is on the board. I think that there is about a 30% chance that he will be there.

I'm not overly enamoured with the TE class this year but Higbee is definitely my favourite thus far.

Great safety valve for Doughty all year

agreed. Fire Whaley if this is our draft. Horrible. And with bargains available at every round

Our horrible defense last year loses Mario and Bradham, but only adds Adolphus Washington. And we prioritized a kicker over front 7. Horrible

I don't follow college ball but I always keep an eye on Astro's draft threads...this is hilarious thanks for the chuckle

 

And thanks Astro for running this and for everyone else with the knowledge to participate!

I blame everyone else. My votes were amazing.

This is a time when I'm thrilled I wasn't with the majority here

Ha ha, I was okay with mine too . We passed on a borderline 1st round DL (Butler) in the 5th for a kicker!!!!! Astro even left it open to try to talk sense into everyone. This draft that we just put together would be murdered by the experts and have the GM fired. This was so, so, so bad. Edited February 2, 2016 by Kirby Jackson

This draft, if it were how it shook out, would get Whaley fired

How so?

 

Round 1---Carson Wentz QB (not who I would pick.....but the fact that a backup QB and possible QB of future cannot be ignored. We need someone to push EJ off the roster. If Wentz is the BPA....then that is the right time to take the QB.....if Wentz develops Whaley will look like a genious

Round 2---Adolphus Washington DE DT (Once again.....BPA....and if he fits a RR 3-4 then the right pick.....especially if we lose Mario

Round 3---Joe Haeg OT (Once again....this is probably BPA....and we are in def need of a RT

Round 4---Braxton Miller WR KR PR (Playmaker......possible Percy Harvin clone......why not?

Round 5---Roberto Aguayo K (If this guy can do all the kicking duties....is really good....and frees up a position on the team so we dont have to carry 3 kickers?)

Round 6---???

No LB's, one DL player, a QB with our 1st with other glaring needs and possibilities at that point, a K in round 5, and all for a cap-strapped team? Playoffs? No, unemployment line.

[baskingridgebillsfan]

This draft, if it were how it shook out, would get Whaley fired

why he gets a top 40 pick in round 4 . A top ten pick at 19

The draft is unrealistic but not a poor one

[KOKBILLS]

I don't think he'll be there...So it's probably not even worth discussing...But if he is there at #19 I don't think there's any question the Bills take Wentz...I think that's about as safe a bet as you're going to get in this Draft...

[John from Riverside]

We could address LB in free agency.....depending on the quality of the kicker round 5 is not s stretch......we wont be THAT cap strapped when they make some salary adjustments.

 

A couple of other thoughts

 

- Preston Brown is not going anywhere....they will probably move him to the OLB position. Manny Lawson is inexpensive fits the D and will stay.....we need another LB through FA or draft.

- We are literally one bad thing from happening away from EJ Manuel being our starter.....that is important to remember.....with a QB in TT (Who I love) is sometimes is too much of a gamer for his own good

- RT is definately a need

- We are literally the only team in the league that carries 3 kickers....and there is a strong chance Karp might not be back

- I feel that we need a true nose tackle for this team......but NT's do not get paid huge salaries so we might go FA here

 

Only so many picks......and we are in need of players. Not if I WAS to do a mock I would not take Wientz.....I actually might try to trade down for an additional second.....and try to get a DL and 2 linebackers in my 1st 3 picks
