Official 2015 Draft Discussion

Yea, really smooth draft aside from the blip of drama.

Is the new file up with full draft updated?

[Kobeck]

gonna be interesting too see how the game eveluates the Dakota draft, heck I always get a bad score in game, but one 6 for the whole draft should not have helped Spirit roster that much

I'm sure a new team will become available for David if he still has the time...

[Jave]

No offense to David, but we had the schedule up for weeks, and he had a top 5 pick. Nothing the league did had anything to do with him missing his pick. I think his quitting had more to do with being angry at himself than anything else. I understand his frustration in the moment but to say that we should of done more or should do more to prevent human error is, I believe, wrong.

Davids a good owner, and well liked around here, but really....if he had a top 5 pick, all he had to do was make a list of...FIVE players and turn on the utility. 5 players. That's it. Would take, what....3 minutes? There is ZERO reason not to make a list, just in case.

[Kobeck]

I controlled 1.3 and I did not make a list, but again you are right Jave

Well if he thought it was the wrong day, it's hard to blame him for not setting a list. He's a trader, so perhaps he had his eyes set on one guy and wanted to either trade up or down depending on what happens.

I think like someone else said, he was more upset at himself, but clearly acted way too hastily in posting a 'quitting' thread. So it's hard to fault him for anything, and it's hard to fault Matt for moving on as quick as he did since LA had another high pick.

B+! LOL

B+! LOL

Its based on how the pick(s) will help you in the future. Dakots sucks so bad that only a 6th round pick upgrades the roster.

Mock draft

1 - 1 (1) - GEO - DT Glen Ross - Glen Ross seems to make a better choice than WR Brad Harris here, but GEO could go either way.
1 - 2 (2) - VAN - RB Richard Particelli - VAN may also think about QB Norman Barlow here.
1 - 3 (3) - FRE - DE Edwin Beauchamp - Edwin Beauchamp might only be a slightly better pick than WR Brad Harris here, but FRE could go either way.
1 - 4 (4) - LRK - QB Norman Barlow - This one's a toss-up. While LRK doesn't necessarily need a DT, they might go with Harris Garrod
1 - 5 (5) - LAS - DE Derek McKinley - Not sure what they'll do here. LAS could use a DE; they could have easily gone with Gene Sullivan
1 - 6 (6) - WIC - S Dustin McDonald - Well, this is a toss-up. While WIC doesn't necessarily need a DT, it wouldn't surprise me if they go with Harris Garrod
1 - 7 (7) - OAK - WR Brad Harris - Brad Harris might only be a slightly better pick than DT Harris Garrod here, but OAK could go either way.
1 - 8 (8) - LAW - RB Michael Loupe - LAW may also look at OLB Roman Farrell here.
1 - 9 (9) - HAR - DT Harris Garrod - DT isn't really a huge need for HAR, but how can you pass up Harris Garrod?
1 - 10 (10) - HOU - DT Nick Baerg - Nick Baerg seems better than TE Kirk Fehr here, but HOU could go either way.
1 - 11 (11) - HAR - DE Gene Sullivan - Very difficult choice here. While HAR doesn't necessarily need a CB, it makes just as much sense to pick Sherman Shawwa
1 - 12 (12) - LAS - CB Sherman Shawwa - LAS could also look at RB Charlie Maxwell here.
1 - 13 (13) - MTL - T Casey Machado - T isn't really a huge need for MTL, but Casey Machado would still make a good choice.
1 - 14 (14) - POR - DT Ike Cook - POR may also look at TE Kirk Fehr here.
1 - 15 (15) - WVA - DT Andrew Herek - Your guess is as good as mine. While WVA doesn't necessarily need a DT, they might also consider R.J. Henry
1 - 16 (16) - ORL - G Jeffrey Hatcher - ORL could choose QB Orlando Surratt here.
1 - 17 (17) - LOU - QB Orlando Surratt - LOU could look at TE Kirk Fehr here.
1 - 18 (18) - REN - WR Omar Robinson - Omar Robinson might only be a slightly better pick than DE Marc Newson here, but REN could go either way.
1 - 19 (19) - NWK - DE Marc Newson - Your guess is as good as mine. While NWK doesn't necessarily need a RB, they could have easily gone with Charlie Maxwell
1 - 20 (20) - GEO - WR Mo Bauer - Tough one here. GEO could use a WR; they could have easily gone with Joe Richmond
1 - 21 (21) - LAN - TE Kirk Fehr - Very tough one here. LAN needs a CB as well, they might also consider Jeffrey Tapscott
1 - 22 (22) - VER - DT R.J. Henry - VER may also consider G Wes Moon here.
1 - 23 (23) - ANC - DE Louis Pippens - Hard to know for sure what they'll do here. ANC could use a DE; they could have easily gone with Andy Linthicum
1 - 24 (24) - NWK - RB Charlie Maxwell - Tough one here. While NWK doesn't necessarily need a RB, it wouldn't surprise me if they go with Lionel Emerson
1 - 25 (25) - IWC - ILB Donnie Morton - IWC may choose S Sean Hitchcock here.
1 - 26 (26) - GEO - CB Jeffrey Tapscott - GEO may look at S Sean Hitchcock here.
1 - 27 (27) - TUL - DE Andy Linthicum - Tough one to call. While TUL doesn't necessarily need a DT, it makes just as much sense to pick Vernon Pedersen
1 - 28 (28) - CLE - RB Lionel Emerson - Lionel Emerson might be a better pick than CB Travis Blades here, but CLE could go either way.
1 - 29 (29) - LAW - OLB Roman Farrell - LAW could use a OLB and Roman Farrell would be hard to pass up here.
1 - 30 (30) - FRE - WR Jessie Lucas - This one's tough. FRE could use a WR; it wouldn't surprise me if they go with Joe Richmond
1 - 31 (31) - TEX - G Wes Moon - Tough one to call. TEX could use a S as well, it makes just as much sense to pick Sean Hitchcock
1 - 32 (32) - WVA - RB Colin Grzegorczyk - Colin Grzegorczyk might be a better pick than S Sean Hitchcock here, but WVA could go either way.

just looking back through old draft threads and noticed this mock draft from last year.

this is my fav

1 - 8 - LAW - RB Michael Loupe - LAW may also look at OLB Roman Farrell here.

Loupe was drafted by me, in the 3rd rnd I think

OLB Roman Farrell was actually selected by me... but also in the 3rd round I think.
