7th .Net Mock Draft Competition: CamanoIslandJQ WINS!

[Hawkscanner]

Man, talk about an exercise in futility and frustration!!! I'll have to give my 1st Round projection some thought and post that later. I'll edit this post beforehand and paste that in when I have a bit more time to compile it. As far as the Seahawks are concerned, I'm with Hasselbeck in believing that they'll trade the #26 pick to Cleveland, who will then take Paxton Lynch. I think that's a fairly solid prediction.

*Update (4/27): Alright, here is my kick at the cat. I don't know about the rest of you, but for me this was a pretty difficult exercise. Here it is ...

Round 1
1 – Rams – QB Carson Wentz (North Dakota State)
2 – Eagles – QB Jared Goff (California)
3 – Chargers – FS Jalen Ramsey (Florida State)
4 –Cowboys – DE Joey Bosa (Ohio State)
5 – Jaguars – LB Myles Jack (UCLA)
6 – Ravens – OT Laremy Tunsil (Ole Miss)
7 – 49ers – DE DeForest Buckner (Oregon)
8 – Browns – RB Ezekiel Elliott (Ohio State)
9 – Buccaneers – CB Vernon Hergreaves (Florida) -- right team, wrong spot (moved down to #11)
10 – Giants – OT Ronnie Staley (Notre Dame)
11 – Bears – LB Leonard Floyd (Georgia) -- right team, wrong spot (moved up to #9)
12 – Saints – DT Sheldon Rankins (Louisville)
13 – Dolphins – CB William Jackson III (Houston)
14 – Raiders – DE Shaq Lawson (Clemson)
15 – Titans – OT Taylor Decker (Ohio State)
16 – Lions – WR Laquon Treadwell (Ole Miss)
17 – Falcons – OLB Darron Lee (Ohio State)
18 – Colts – OT Jack Conklin (Michigan State)
19 – Bills – DT Robert Nkemdiche (Ole Miss)
20 – Jets – DE Noah Spence (Eastern Kentucky)
21 – Redskins – LB Reggie Ragland (Alabama)
22 – Texans – WR Corey Coleman (Baylor)
23 – Vikings – WR Josh Doctson (TCU)
24 – Bengals – WR Michael Thomas (Ohio State)
25 – Steelers – CB Eli Apple (Ohio State)
26 – [*Browns trade #32, #99 to Seahawks] – QB Paxton Lynch (Memphis) -- was right on trade & player, wrong team though.
27 – Packers – DT Andrew Billings (Baylor)
28 – Chiefs – CB Mackensie Alexander (Clemson)
29 – Cardinals – DE Kevin Dodd (Clemson)
30 – Panthers – CB Artie Burns (Miami)
31 – Broncos – QB Connor Cook (Michigan State)

Round 2 –
32 – Seahawks [*Trade with Browns] – DT Vernon Butler (Louisiana Tech)


As far as the Seahawks Top 20 Targets are concerned, here you go (REALLY, REALLY hard to keep the list to just 20)...

Seahawks Top 20 Targets
(in no particular order)
OT Jason Spriggs
OT Le'Raven Clark
OT Joe Haeg
OT Germain Ifedi
OG Joe Dahl
OG Connor McGovern
RB Derrick Henry
RB Tyler Ervin
DE/LB Bronson Kaufusi
DT Vernon Butler
DT Jonathan Bullard
DE Matt Judon
LB Travis Freeney
LB Deion Jones
LB Kyler Fackrell
S Miles Killebrew
CB Rashard Robinson
"WR" Ricardo Louis (7th round choice -- CB conversion project, as his measureables jump off the chart. Book it)
WR Moritz Boehringer
WR Devon Cajuste

Man, I got my hand caught in the cookie jar with 21 guys. Alright, it's killing me, but I'll take WR Mike Thomas (USM) off. I really think he's actually on Schneider's radar screen (and if we take it at face value that he's got 200 guys on the board, I'd be stunned if he wasn't). Unofficially, another guy I'm thinking is a likely target is TE Ben Braunecker. That's my list of targets and projected draft picks that I'll go with heading in to tomorrow.

MAN!! Is there a prize for the WORST draft prediction?!? LOL! I got absolutely worked -- only a couple pegged right on and a few close predictions. (Noted above in bold and color.) Usually I do OK with predicting at least where the top 10 are going to fall. This year? -- pffff! With now 4 picks in rounds 2-3, I'm looking forward to what appears set up to be a very productive Day 2 for our beloved Seahawks. :3:

No worries, mate. I think it was a screwy first round. I had Keanu Neal to ATL in my 1.0 mock. Then, I changed it out for Ragland. THEN, a medical shows up on Ragland. smh. I know ILB is a huge need for ATL. I think if not for the medical, Ragland was the pick. They might still get him in the 2nd. Sheesh.

Funny thing, too, is I actually considered mocking Karl Joseph to the Raiders. I feared being a bit too bold on that. I just had it in the back of my mind that Ken Norton, Jr. wanted a player that has the potential to be their Earl Thomas. I should have just went with my gut on that one. Ah well.

 

[Recon_Hawk]

Who won?

 

[McGruff]

1. St. Louis Rams *Jared Goff QB California
2. Philadelphia Eagles Carson Wentz QB North Dakota State
3. San Diego Chargers *Laremy Tunsil OT Ole Miss
4. Dallas Cowboys *Jalen Ramsey FS Florida State
5. Jacksonville Jaguars *Myles Jack OLB UCLA
6. Baltimore Ravens *Joey Bosa DE Ohio State
7. San Fransisco 49ers DeForest Buckner DE Oregon
8. Cleveland Browns *Ezekiel Elliott RB Ohio State
9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers *Vernon Hargreaves III CB Florida
10. New York Giants *Ronnie Stanley OT Notre Dame
11. Chicago Bears *Leonard Floyd OLB Georgia
12. New Orleans Saints Sheldon Rankins DT Louisville
13. Miami Dolphins *Shaq Lawson DE Clemson
14. Oakland Raiders Reggie Ragland ILB Alabama
15. Tennessee Titans *Jack Conklin OT Michigan State
16. Detroit Lions Taylor Decker OT Ohio State
17. Atlanta Falcons *Darron Lee OLB Ohio State
18. Indianapolis Colts Ryan Kelly C Alabama
19. Buffalo Bills *Robert Nkemdiche DT Ole Miss
20. New York Jets *Paxton Lynch QB Memphis
21. Washington Redskins *A'Shawn Robinson DT Alabama
22. Houston Texans *Corey Coleman WR Baylor
23. Minnesota Vikings *Laquon Treadwell WR Ole Miss
24. Cincinnati Bengals Josh Doctson WR TCU
25. Pittsburgh Steelers William Jackson III CB Houston
26. Seattle Seahawks Emmanuel Ogbah DE Oklahoma State
27. Green Bay Packers *Andrew Billings DT Baylor
28. Kansas City Chiefs *Eli Apple CB Ohio State
29. Arizona Cardinals *T.J. Green FS Clemson
30. Carolina Panthers *Kevin Dodd DE Clemson
31. Denver Broncos Connor Cook QB Michigan State

I'm not going to project trades, because they will undoubtably be biased towards Seattle. The killers for me were giving Jalen Ramsey to the Niners and TJ Green to the Cardinals.

For Seattle:
Germaine Ifedi
Jonathan Bullard
Vernon Butler
Derrick Henry
Connor McGovern
Joe Dahl
Josh Garnett
Marcus Henry
Will Parks
Dak Prescott
Justin Simmons
Jordan Lucas
DJ Reader
Justin Zimmer
Ricardo Louis
Daryl Worley
Trae Elston
Via Tuafilo
Joe Thuney
Rees Obhiamosomethinglongandunpronouncable

My first round actually looks pretty good . . . but going 2/20 on the Seahawks is BAD.

I'm thinking CamanoIslandJQ has this wrapped up. Counting 24 points.

 

[TeamoftheCentury]

Might want to count McGruff's. Is it a tie at 24?

Congrats to Camano, McGruff(?) and others who scored in the 20's despite all those 1st round trades. Brutal.

Did anyone else get 3 Seahawks DRAFT choices (per the rules) correct? I picked Ifedi, Odhiambo, and Vannett. I would be happy to know that I led the Seahawks part of the equation. I had thought about including Jefferson, Prosise, and and Lawler before settling on my 20. My competitiveness got the best of me and I went with names that had been thrown around .net to play it (too) safe. You guys are smart and I didn't want to look like a chump since there were a lot of similar names listed. I kept telling myself "Go big or go home", then chickened out. Lol :lol:

I probably would've only included Jefferson if UDFA's counted because I thought he was a late rounder or udfa. So, that's why I left him off my list. Whoops. I started getting excited about Lawler a week before the draft, but thought he might be drafted higher than Seattle would take a receiver- so left him off the list.

I can't ever prove this, but it's the truth.

I have now failed at consecutive "back-to-back" .net draft contest championships. Those opportunities don't come around often. My playing days could be numbered. Not sure how much longer I can keep this up without the inevitable contract dispute.

 

[McGruff]

I think I only got 19 points.

 

[CamanoIslandJQ]

OP: Is this a "contest" with no declared winner? Who won?
Is everyone just counting their own points and then posting their totals?
I think I had 24 points total, what scores did others have?

 

[Maelstrom787]

Sorry about that, gentlemen. This slipped my mind with it being finals week and all! I've been holed up in the library for the past few weeks.

With apologies for the wait out of the way - I have confirmed that CamanoIslandJQ took the win this year with a point total of *24*. That's a heck of a mock!

Good job, CamanoIslandJQ.. Until next year, gents.

 

[McGruff]

Nice job and thanks Maelstrom for running it.
