Quote:What makes you think that draft couldnt happen?
I think Jesse James at worst is a 5th Round choice due to his size/ability. I also believe Erving/Williams will be gone before we select in the 4th.

CAMERON ERVING - considered one of the best offensive tackles in the ACC, but when the team needed him to move to center Erving moved willingly and the Seminoles are reaping the benefits. Start and plug anywhere.

TE
NICK O'LEARY - John Mackey Award winner for being the nation’s top tight end. Using both his power and speed, O’Leary has dominated for the Seminoles as a run blocker, skilled receiver and punishing runner after the catch. He holds Florida State career records for a tight end with 113 receptions, 1,587 yards and 17 TDs.

Decided to go in a different direction this time.
3: R1P3
DE Shane Ray Missouri - I usually pick Leonard Williams, but retried the draft until he was gone. In this instance neither top 2 team took a QB so I would have been looking to trade back if possible; probably taken Shaq Thompson, OLB. Took Ray over Cooper because I like what we have at WR and Ray I believe will turn out to be a JPP type of freak athlete. It will work itself out more over the next few months.
36: R2P4
C/OT Cameron Erving Florida State - Haven't been going OL here, but really there is great value to be had at 36. I think Erving is a huge upgrade at C or at RT. He was a decent LT, but really is more of a mauler and shined once they moved him to C. I think he would also shine at RT with a TE outside of him enabling straight ahead blocking.
67: R3P3
RB Todd Gurley Georgia - If their draft board is going to let me get a potential All-Pro offensive playmaker in the third round, I have to snap him up regardless of needs.
100: R4P4
WR Justin Hardy East Carolina - We've gotten nothing substantial in the punt return game since the kinda-fake-fair-catch play years ago. Averaged 11.2 yards a return and is also a polished slot receiver. Only question is his top end speed.
131: R5P3
CB/S Eric Rowe Utah - Like others on here I see him as a FS. Hasn't put up great INT numbers, but has dropped quite a few potential INTs. Personally I like a guy who can get his hands on the ball and will look for an elite player at the position in the future. Also tough enough and a good enough tackler that he could be a 4-way special teams guy if he can't win the starting safety spot.
164: R6P4
TE Tyler Kroft Rutgers - Undersized TE at 240 he's exactly what the offense has been lacking at the position, an athlete that can catch the ball. Good enough blocker that we can line him up on the line on occasion and punish teams that bring in extra DBs treating him as a 3rd WR.
195: R7P3
OT Austin Shepherd - Scouting reports have said "surprisingly light feet" for a guy his size, but will need some work before being ready to handle the speed rushers in the NFL. Drafted for depth at OT which is desperately needed.

Him being available at 36 is a joke.
Does FSU use a zone blocking scheme or is it more power blocking?
Quote:Him being available at 36 is a joke.
Lol, I've seen mocks that have him at 4, but I think thats a joke as well.
Here's my latest. I took Funchess in the second and O'leary was still there in the 4th. I know it would never happen, but I couldn't pass that up.

Quote:Does FSU use a zone blocking scheme or is it more power blocking?
I'm pretty sure from what I remember seeing that it was a zone technique.
I'm starting to get on the Shane Ray wagon a bit. I still want Williams simply for his power and versatility, but I'd be okay with Ray as well.

Most likely going to be Williams, Ray or Gregory. I'm ok with any of them but I agree i want Williams the most.
Best thing here is if Mariota falls to 3, we make a trade with the Jets to go to 6 and still end up with Ray or Gregory.

I agree with you, but its how the chips fell on the simulator.

I've just had a go at this with trades. And I learnt two things....
If you trade past ten, you can give up on getting one of the top pass rushers. And it's worth trading back to get extra picks in round two and three, because that's where the real value is.
So this is what I ended up with after trading down to 11 to get extra picks in rounds 2,3 and 4 and then again with the Eagles, to get a third pick in round two.
20 - R1P20
TE MAXX WILLIAMS

A pass-catching tight end, to give Bortles a real outlet (the alternatives at this point weren't great)

Pass rusher who has performed well at the Senior Bowl
