The reason why I hit him up on twitter and got an interview with him was because I heard the Packers were also interested in him. I wouldn't mind if the Pack draft him either.
2006 New England Patriots 16. Antonio Cromartie 23. Chad Greenway This was my full first year in the GML, the year prior I was the Oakland Raiders. I traded away every pick to add to the Patriots roster but kept my first and took a CB that's been good through most of his career. I was talked into going Greenway over DeMeco Ryans, it worked out and this is the only time I will credit Griddles on that. It was a good mini draft. 2007 Buffalo Bills 12. Patrick Willis Thanks to Finheaven I don't recall who I drafted after Willis which was a homerun in the first. I did also draft Trent Edwards and John Wendling in the draft, not sure where. Hit early, fizzled out late. 2008 Miami Dolphins 14. Domnique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, Tennessee State 23. Branden Albert, OG, Virginia 33. Lawrence Jackson, DT, USC 55. Joe Flacco, QB, Delaware 84. Shawn Crable, LB, Michgan 88. Frank Okam, DT, Texas 106. Steve Slaton, RB, West Virginia 117. J Leman, LB, Illinois 193. Mario Urrutia, WR, Louisville 209. Chris Norwell, DT, Illinois 217. Hercules Satele, OG, Hawaii 221. Tony Temple, RB, Missouri DRC is still young and I blame it out the scheme they played in Philly, but still has plenty of good years. Branden Albert is a good LT, and Lawrence Jackson is ok, serviceable. The prize was Joe Flacco in the second, so once again I hit early but the later rounds I got nothing...well Slaton and his one or two good seasons. 2009 Kansas City Chiefs 18. Ron Brace, DT, Boston College 73. Paul Kruger, DE, Utah 110. Sherrod Martin, CB, Troy 144. Antonio Appleby, LB, Virginia 162. TJ Lang, OT, Eastern Michigan I knew I was reaching for Ron Brace, but didn't know how ugly that would turn out. Paul Kruger didn't become something until this past season so there's a late bloomer. TJ Lang was the best pick for a while. Ugly draft, ugly Chiefs team I put together too. 2010 - New England Patriots (Co-GM) 1. Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech 2. Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida 3. Brandon Spikes, LB, Florida 3. Amari Spievey, CB, Iowa 7. Jeron Mastrud, TE, Kansas State 7. Chris Marinelli, OT, Stanford I Co-GMed with Griddles because I wasn't around, well around the world at exotic locales. The only two I really had a hand in were Carlos Dunlap and Brandon Spikes (I demanded Spikes). It's ok with a couple solid players. 2011 Minnesota Vikings 45. Jake Locker, QB, Washington 55. Marcus Cannon, OT/G, TCU C3C. Jalil Brown, CB, Colorado C4B. Taiwan Jones, RB, Eastern Washington 136. Pernell McPhee,DL, Mississippi State 168. Mike Mohamed, LB, California 177. Courtney Smith, WR, South Alabama 185. Nathan Enderle, QB, Idaho 186. Ugo Chinasa, DE, Oklahoma State 188. Ross Homan, LB, Ohio State 193. Schuylar Oordt, TE, Northern Iowa 218. Chris Hairston, OT, Clemson 21. Jermale Hines, S, Ohio State 220. Alex Wujciak, LB, Maryland C7E. Danny Aiken, LS, Virginia Still nothing coming out of this one. Danny Aiken is the LS for the Patriots. Taiwan Jones, Jalil Brown are part timers on their respective AFC West teams. Chris Hairston is the second best value with Locker my best if he puts it all together. Another one of my second round QBs who will hopefully turn it on for his team.
Or maybe so. Pretty surprised Bray is still on the board. He definitely has his issues, but the upside is huge.
since we're going back in time, thanks schisno... and we started with me.. .thought I'd set the record straight by including my 2010, 2011, 2012 drafts... 2010 Dolphins GM: 12. - Brandon Graham, DE, Michigan 39. - Sean Lee, LB, Penn State 70. - Dexter McCluster, WR, Ole Miss 74. - Dominique Franks, CB, Oklahoma 78. - Reshad Jones, S, Georgia 94. - Ed Dickson, TE, Oregon Well that was better than 2008 and 2009 combined 2011 Patriots GM: 019 - J.J. Watt, DE/OLB, Wisconsin (I traded up to get him, since he's one of the top 10 players in the league, the rest of this draft and really the rest of my GM drafts in total shouldn't matter IMO. It's really the equivalent of BB getting Brady in the sixth round) 049 - Phil Taylor, DT, Baylor 093 - Quinton Carter, S, Oklahoma 157 - Buster Skrine, CB, Chattanooga 199 - Mario Fannin, RB, Auburn C7A - Eric Mensi, OT, Oklahoma 2012 Titans GM (Fill In / replacement GM): 20. - Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama 27. - Rueben Randle, WR, LSU 32. - Mark Barron, SS, Alabama 71. - Cam Johnson, DE, Virginia 92. - Kirk Cousins, QB, Michigan State C3C. - DeAngelo Peterson, TE, LSU 146. - Sean Spence, LB, Miami C7B. - Braylon Broughton, DE, TCU
BTW, F the Ravens GM.. no offense... guys he has taken that I had on my board and would have taken at my next pick Cordarrelle Patterson Kenny Vaccaro Zaviar Gooden Alvin Bailey of course has 14 draft picks I believe, so he's bound to get a couple of my guys.
Great player but getting him in the first when he was an expected first round prospect does not equate you to getting Brady in the 6th round.
2012 with Pitt was ok. Should look better a year or two from now once I think Marvin Jones and Dennard prove how good they are. 1.31 - Whitney Mercilus - DE/OLB - Illinois - Assigned value: $800,000 2.46 - Alfonzo Dennard - CB - Nebraska - Assigned value: $550,000 3.86 - Marvin Jones - WR - Cal - (from Cincy) Assigned value: $450,000 3.87 - Dwight Jones - WR - UNC - (from Detroit) - Assigned value: $450,000 UDFA RB/KR/PR Davin Meggett $300,000 CB Trevin Wade $300,000 Cant seem to find 2011 with the NYG or 2010 with the Colts. If I recall my 2010 wasnt bad....
