Astrobot Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 http://www.drafttek.com/round12009.asp We did this last year and it was fun. Using the draft for 2009 (or 2008!) and make your picks now that you know where all players were taken. You cannot take a player selected earleir in the round. If you make a trade, use the trade chart (http://www.drafttek.com/tradechart.html ) and your points can't exceed the team you trade with.
Astrobot Posted May 4, 2009 Author Posted May 4, 2009 Working on my own here (no tradedowns this time): 1-Pettigrew TE 1-Wood OG/OC 2-E.Brown DE 3-K. Urbick OG 4-Chip Vaughn -S 4-Sidbury DE 5-Marcus Freeman -LB/S 6-Brandon Underwood CB 7-Zack Follett LB One thing you'll learn by doing this exercise is how valuable it is to know in hindsight where the "feasts" and "famines" at each position were. There were no DT's selected at all in Round 5, for instance, and lots of LB's, WR's, CB's and RB's were still on the board late.

Zach Follett OLB Don't show this to the guys in ESPN or NFL Network...They will say it is a failure because you did not draft a OT on the 1st day.
Thoner7 Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Predicting trades is hard in the early rounds, but in the late rounds I think they are easier and easier to pull off. I will not use hindsight in my draft. Niether the Bills nor I have a time machine, so there is no way to knwo who will be there o so many rounds later. When the Bills selections came up, these are the players whose names I was yelling at the TV. In 5 years I wonder who would have had the better draft: 1- Orakpo 1- Wood (best O lineman) 2- E. Brown 2- Levitre (best O lineman) 4- Nelson 5- Nic Harris These next picks I would have figured out how to get. I wanted Harris at 5 the most, but would have been fine if the Bills selected either of these two instead. Right after Harris was selected, I came on TSW and posted on how we have to move up for these two guys. Trading the rest of our picks in this draft, players, or next years picks I would have gotten it done. 5- Jamon Meredith 5- Duke Robinson
Thoner7 Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Now for my draft with trades and all, again not using hindsight: *Trade the 75th used in the Levitre trade, couple it with 28, and move up to draft Oher *Trade up to aquire Jamon Meridith with 6, 7 and whatever ele it takes from 2010 1- Orakpo 1- Oher 2- E. Brown 4- S. Nelson 4- Duke Robinson 5- Nic Harris 5- Jamon Merideth. Again, who will have the better draft?
