2017 Draft

[rwatson1]

I went BPA at positions of need except for round 2. Christian was too good of value to pass up since he can be our number two RB, 5th WR and kick returner. We'd never be lucky enough to land these top 4 but this would be a dream draft IMO. I don't know anything about the last two kids selected but i know we need depth.

1: R1P13
LB REUBEN FOSTER
ALABAMA

2: R2P13
RB CHRISTIAN MCCAFFREY
STANFORD

3: R3P13
WR DEDE WESTBROOK

4: R4P13
CB MARQUEZ WHITE

5: R5P13
QB CHAD KELLY
OLE MISS

6: R5P33
C KYLE FULLER
BAYLOR

7: R6P13
G SEAN HARLOW

Round 1 trade down into the top 20's. Pick up an additional 3rd rounder. Then select Cunningham from Vandy at ILB. Round 2 take Mahornes if he is still there. Round 3 pick up a guard and WR. After that it's purely a crap shoot so take the BPA.

Plan B if the Bills take Cunningham? A few sites are reporting their interest in him. (Probably a load of nonsense, but hey ho.)

Do this but maybe take the best available CB/WR in this loaded draft in the 3rd.

There is more, a lot more depth at CB/WR in this draft than ILB.

To the best of my knowledge you can't trade down on the Fanspeak simulator. I'm all for trading down, but the list I pulled above was ideal if you can't trade down.

I only went 4 rounds -- would have tried to trade down in Rd #1 after Mike Williams was taken at #10.

13: R1P13
LB REUBEN FOSTER
ALABAMA
45: R2P13
CB QUINCY WILSON
FLORIDA
77: R3P13
WR COURTLAND SUTTON
SMU
118: R4P13
C ETHAN POCIC (Can Play either Center or Guard -- way too much value here in 4th round)
LSU

I would be very happy with this draft as all of the above would make team and contribute.

LB ZACH CUNNINGHAM
VANDERBILT

118: R4P13
QB DAVIS WEBB
CALIFORNIA
158: R5P13
WR CHRIS GODWIN
PENN STATE
178: R5P33
LB BEN BOULWARE
CALMEST

No way some of these guys are in these spots but that was a decent simulated draft. I saw Cunningham and got excited in the 2nd but I think there was a QB there I would have taken.

So much will change between now and then and maybe these simulators will adjust as well. Godwin really impressed me in the Rose Bowl.

If we don't take a Qb with the 13th pick and that is a good possibility these are the guys I think could be the cardinals pick in the first round.


1. Marlon Humphrey CB
2.Mike Williams WR
3. Quincy Wilson CB
4. JuJu Smith WR


Would not touch Tabor unless he fell to the 2nd or even 3rd round. He was caught with weed in 2014 and in 2015 was suspended for saying football is like slavery. I am not sure I would even want the guy but the kid is good. No the two LB's from Alabama won't make it to us in my opinion.

Marlon Humphrey sucks, he's more of a late 1st to early 2nd certainly not worth #13 overall. Take CB Marshon Lattimore from Ohio State. Mike Williams will be gone. Quincy Wilson is a possibilty. JuJu Smith Schuster is a 2nd round WR at best.

JuJu Smith at 13??? Yikes, no way. I like him but that is super high.
