I dealt #17 to them for:
Derrick Brown
#s 102 (4), 165 (5), 180 (6), 219 (7) this year
Rds 3, 4, 5, 6, and 2 7s next.

Then I just played out the rest without moving around to see who the players that fell there were. Considering need I pulled Christian Haynes early in the 2nd round, then SVP fell to #96 in the 3rd. That got me a 25 year old stout d lineman, a top ranked guard and a center I think is a little undervalued right now. Then the rest were some depth/development guys at spots we still need a little help. Again, not my perfect draft, but entirely based on what it would look like if we went blockbuster for Brown. Settings were for equal consideration for position value and team need to keep the algorithm moderate.

Interesting exercise, but one of the hangups for me in a lot of the sims is that moving back often yields a bunch of picks, and late picks at that. I just don't know that we want or need a 10-pick darft, it'd be hard to find spots for that many rooks.

I guess if you're looking to scapegoat the GM, load him up with a ton of picks that won't make the roster, fuel the fires just a little more, right?
