What is your NFL "Draftpocalypse" Scenario?
Re: What is your NFL "Draftpocalypse" Scenario?
This is a fun topic. My personal draftpocalypse would be Cleveland taking Fournette and and Buffalo taking Davis. I already own Crowell and Sammy, so I'd basically be betting against myself if I used the 1.01 on either of those rookies.
Both are 12-team 1QB PPR dynasties

Re: What is your NFL "Draftpocalypse" Scenario?
The Buffalo thing does not scare me that much. I get its no ideal like powerful offenses are, but their problem last couple years has been a MAJOR commitment to the running game AKA Rex Ryan's offense and no play makers when Sammy is hurt. Not that Tyrod is some stud, but he can throw a decent deep ball and the running game at least keeps the opposing defenses really honest. Combine that with a new coach and it might not be that bad. Anyways, I think initially rookie draft targets going to places like SF, Cleveland, Jax, and NY scared me, but that is most likely where some top talent will go.

Re: What is your NFL "Draftpocalypse" Scenario?
I don't like the idea of Williams or/ Davis being the #2 on Buffalo, Cin, etc. You want them to get the most targets and have the opportunity to be #1. Even if this does take the pressure off them... if they can't be #1 guys.
I wouldn't be thrilled if speedsters such as Ross, KD Cannon, or Samuel landed on teams that have deep threats or solid slot guys. Miami, NE ect.
I'd say second tier guys like Foreman, Kamara ending up on Cowboys, Steelers or Cardinals would ruin my lunch. You don't want them stuck behind studs. These are the RBs that are going to be available toward the 2nd half of the 1st round and this would knock their value to the 2nd for most.
OJ Howard & other TEs on cin, NE, Redskins wouldn't be great. Teams that have an elite TE and solid WR wouldn't help his targets. TE is a position it's hard to see investing a 1st round rookie pick, but this class is so talented.
Not really sure I see a team investing in Fournette and Cook, to not give them touches. Obviously Fournette needs to go to a team that will allow him to get some 3rd down work.
BUT if all this 'draftpocalypse' in the World does happen on draft day. I have to believe that later round picks will have landed in ideal spots. Maybe a Marlon Mack to Indy, Godwin to Tenn, Zay Jones to Saints. Something to give us hope will happen... even if all goes wrong.

Re: What is your NFL "Draftpocalypse" Scenario?
Not sure why everyone keeps putting Buffalo on here as a bad landing spot for a WR. The team obviously has a huge need at the position, and being the #2 isn't a bad thing...very few rookies go to a team and become the #1 right away. Plus, once Sammy gets hurt again, then they automatically become the #1 option. And it's not like Tyrod is a bum, there are plenty of teams with much worse at QB that can possibly draft a WR.

Likely a run first team. Cold/bad weather.

Tennessee is a run first team, but everyone seems to love that landing spot.

Re: What is your NFL "Draftpocalypse" Scenario?
I don't think Titans have a true WR1. Matthews was good last year but Davis/Williams would be a clear WR1 for them. Buffalo has Watkins. Hogan left. Woods left. Just not a great spot for opportunity as a WR2 in Buffalo.Goddard wrote: ↑Wed Apr 26, 2017 8:56 amTennessee is a run first team, but everyone seems to love that landing spot.

Not saying bad weather alone is a drawback - the question was Buffalo specifically. Just one of several reasons.

Re: What is your NFL "Draftpocalypse" Scenario?
Aren't you contradicting yourself a little here? So since Tennessee doesn't have a true WR1, they would be a good landing spot (even though I'd argue that they have more quality players that would take away targets), but Buffalo is bad because every single WR outside of Watkins is basically gone and he would have zero competition.onetwothree wrote: ↑Wed Apr 26, 2017 9:43 amI don't think Titans have a true WR1.

Re: What is your NFL "Draftpocalypse" Scenario?
Because a WR1 has value in a run first offense while the 2 names I gave as examples that left didn't do much as the WR2 option on that team.Goddard wrote: ↑Wed Apr 26, 2017 10:30 amAren't you contradicting yourself a little here?

Re: What is your NFL "Draftpocalypse" Scenario?
Totally agree with the 1st two takes, but the Indy line is actually much improved, ESPECIALLY in regards to run blocking. It's a plus situation for suretypmakings wrote: ↑Tue Apr 25, 2017 5:04 pm I think Fournette landing in Jacksonville is terrible for him. I doubt that they would be able to run the ball that much better with him there than they have with Ivory and Yeldon.
In the Jets current state I think any WR that lands there will be in trouble in terms of value.
While the Colts need a running back, their offensive line is so bad there that I could see it being damaging to any RBs value if one lands there.

Re: What is your NFL "Draftpocalypse" Scenario?
So based on a lot of talk I am hearing as of this morning it would be Cleveland selecting Trubisky at #1 overall. While I believe he is the top QB in this draft and do want him in Cleveland, it is a mistake to take him at #1 - reason being that it means not getting Myles Garrett. If I had to prioritize the needs for them, it is both the QB and pass rush and they should be able to either get Trubisky by trading up from 12 or remaining at 12 and taking Watson (though this is less appealing). This would be a fantastic draft if they could come away with both but I am less excited about taking Trubisky at #1 with then the unknown of who they take at #12.
If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.
Re: What is your NFL "Draftpocalypse" Scenario?
Big fan of Corey Davis and try to be optimistic on his landing spot but I have been so hyped up with the possibility of him going to the Titans, Ravens, or Eagles that I think at this point I would be crushed if he goes anywhere else. I know that there is still other teams great for him it's just that those 3 have received so much love. The hype has sunk in for me.

Re: What is your NFL "Draftpocalypse" Scenario?
I'd laugh if the Browns go QB at 1.
Talk about blowing your draft right out of the gate. You can always count on the Browns for that! (Sorry CLE fans, at least you have LeBron!)
Are the QB options next year as bad? They can't wait? I mean it's not like the Browns will be good this year either. Just 76er another year or three - worked for Philly!
