Taylor091 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Anchorage 1st Rnd / Pick 6 - Anchorage Wolves select *Ed Oliver - DT – Houston 1st Rnd / Pick 8 - Anchorage Wolves select *Dwayne Haskins Jr. - QB - Ohio State 2nd Rnd / Pick 10 - Anchorage Wolves select Garrett Bradbury - C - NC State 2nd Rnd / Pick 12 - Anchorage Wolves select *Noah Fant - TE – Iowa 3rd Rnd / Pick 3 - Anchorage Wolves select *NKeal Harry - WR - Arizona State 3rd Rnd / Pick 4 - Anchorage Wolves select Dalton Risner - OT - Kansas State 3rd Rnd / Pick 11 - Anchorage Wolves select *Chauncey Gardner-Johnson - FS - Florida 3rd Rnd / Pick 15 - Anchorage Wolves select *Justin Layne - CB - Michigan State 5th Rnd / Pick 9 - Anchorage Wolves select *Julian Love - CB - Notre Dame 5th Rnd / Pick 10 - Anchorage Wolves select Christian Miller - OLB - Alabama 5th Rnd / Pick 11 - Anchorage Wolves select *Sean Bunting - CB - Central Michigan 7th Rnd / Pick 4 - Anchorage Wolves select *Joe Jackson - DE - Miami (FL) 7th Rnd / Pick 9 - Anchorage Wolves select Dru Samia - OG - Oklahoma 7th Rnd / Pick 11 - Anchorage Wolves select Ben Burr-Kirven - ILB - Washington 7th Rnd / Pick 12 - Anchorage Wolves select *Dawson Knox - TE - Mississippi Gains: 2020 2nd(WIL) ; 2020 4th; 2020 5th(OKC) ; 2020 7th(LOU) Lost: DT Taven Bryan ; 2020 2nd; 2020 3rd Summary; Anchorage clearly took a liking to this draft, manoeuvring their way to 15 picks! Somehow the net pick gains and losses really cancel each other out so Anchorage did a very nice job getting guys they wanted without mortgaging the future. Defensive line was this team’s strength but value was too tempting to pass up early in the draft as they snapped up uber-talented Oliver #6. It looked like the draft was about to get some much needed focus on offense with a run of 5 straight picks on that side of the ball. The only surprise is that given the number of picks another WR or interior OL was not selected over the 4 DB picks in rounds 3-5. Favourite Pick: N’Keal Harry (3.3) – My WR1 is the 5thto come off the board. Least Liked Pick: Dwayne Haskins (1.8) – Gave up a promising young player and used a very high pick on a QB with one year of production in a QB friendly system.

Taylor091 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Berlin 1st Rnd / Pick 2 - Berlin Blitzkrieg select *Quinnen Williams - DT - Alabama 1st Rnd / Pick 12 - Berlin Blitzkrieg select *Byron Murphy - CB - Washington 2nd Rnd / Pick 2 - Berlin Blitzkrieg select DeAndre Baker - CB - Georgia 2nd Rnd / Pick 6 - Berlin Blitzkrieg select *Marquise Brown - WR - Oklahoma 2nd Rnd / Pick 16 - Berlin Blitzkrieg select *Irv Smith Jr. - TE - Alabama 3rd Rnd / Pick 5 - Berlin Blitzkrieg select Juan Thornhill - SS - Virginia 3rd Rnd / Pick 9 - Berlin Blitzkrieg select Rock Ya-Sin - CB - Temple 6th Rnd / Pick 1 - Berlin Blitzkrieg select Blake Cashman - OLB - Minnesota 7th Rnd / Pick 2 - Berlin Blitzkrieg select Trey Pipkins - OT - Sioux Falls Gains: DT Taven Bryan ; DT Leonard Williams ; 2020 4th(ANC) Lost: LB Kiko Alonso ; 2020 4th; 2020 4th(ANC) Summary: Berlin signalled their intent this season early in trading for Tom Brady and that aggressiveness to improve quickly has carried into the draft. The interior of the defense is now set long term with the 'Williams Wall'. Defense was clearly the focus coming into the draft and it is unsurprising that 4 DBs were selected. It was also an astute move of Rags to let Tyreek Hill go for pick 1.8 (avoiding that 17k/yr cap hit) and picking up Marquise Brown at 2.6. It is unrealistic to expect Brown to be a like-for-like replacement but the offense keeps its speed threat while freeing up approximately $14.5k less per year. Favourite Pick: Quinnen Williams (1.2) – Murphy and Brown came close but any time you pick up the best player in the draft it is my favourite pick. Least Liked Pick: Rock Ya-Sin (3.9) – DB was a need coming into the draft so I don’t disagree with focussing on the position but Ya-Sin is such a similar type of player to the previous 2 CBs this pick feels a little redundant.

Taylor091 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Camden 1st Rnd / Pick 9 - Camden Hood Rats select Montez Sweat - DE - Mississippi State 1st Rnd / Pick 13 - Camden Hood Rats select *Greedy Williams - CB - LSU 2nd Rnd / Pick 3 - Camden Hood Rats select *A.J. Brown - WR - Mississippi 2nd Rnd / Pick 13 - Camden Hood Rats select *Dexter Lawrence - DT - Clemson 3rd Rnd / Pick 12 - Camden Hood Rats select *Mack Wilson - ILB - Alabama 4th Rnd / Pick 4 - Camden Hood Rats select *Hakeem Butler - WR - Iowa State 4th Rnd / Pick 14 - Camden Hood Rats select Tytus Howard - OT - Alabama State 5th Rnd / Pick 4 - Camden Hood Rats select *Amani Hooker - SS - Iowa 5th Rnd / Pick 6 - Camden Hood Rats select *David Montgomery - RB - Iowa State 5th Rnd / Pick 16 - Camden Hood Rats select Damien Harris - RB - Alabama 6th Rnd / Pick 13 - Camden Hood Rats select *Kahale Warring - TE - San Diego State 7th Rnd / Pick 6 - Camden Hood Rats select Jalen Hurd - WR - Baylor Lost: 2020 1st; 2020 2nd; 2020 3rd Summary: Camden is a team I really like to stick around for the long term with a lot of great young talent locked down on team friendly deals for multiple years. In a weak draft it is very risky to be trading premium future picks, however they have picked up good value where they have picked. AJ Brown going nearly a full round behind his inferior teammate is fantastic value among a wealth of skill position players brought in in this draft by Camden. Favourite Pick: Both RBs (5.6 & 5.16) – Brown runs this close but I really like the idea and value of picking multiple RBs in the middle of the draft and letting the depth chart sort itself out at the position. Least Liked Pick: Greedy Williams (1.13) – A mercurial talent during his time in college, Williams will have highs and lows which is always a headache for a BDL owner with no influence over the situation.

Taylor091 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Carolina 1st Rnd / Pick 11 - Carolina Intimidators select *Clelin Ferrell - DE - Clemson 2nd Rnd / Pick 4 - Carolina Intimidators select Christian Wilkins - DT - Clemson 3rd Rnd / Pick 14 - Carolina Intimidators select *Taylor Rapp - SS - Washington 3rd Rnd / Pick 16 - Carolina Intimidators select Johnathan Abram - SS - Mississippi State 4th Rnd / Pick 3 - Carolina Intimidators select *Jace Sternberger - TE - Texas AM 5th Rnd / Pick 13 - Carolina Intimidators select *Kelvin Harmon - WR - North Carolina State 5th Rnd / Pick 14 - Carolina Intimidators select *Anthony Nelson - DE - Iowa 6th Rnd / Pick 4 - Carolina Intimidators select *Miles Sanders - RB - Penn State 6th Rnd / Pick 14 - Carolina Intimidators select Yodny Cajuste - OT - West Virginia 7th Rnd / Pick 13 - Carolina Intimidators select Terrill Hanks - OLB - New Mexico State 7th Rnd / Pick 15 - Carolina Intimidators select Will Grier - QB - West Virginia Gains: S Barry Church Summary: Carolina came into the draft obviously seeing defense as their greatest weakness, spending most of their premium picks on that side of the ball. The Ferrell pick is a little surprising given that Carolina already looked pretty set on the edge. Big contract decisions will need to be made in the next couple of years so Carolina is perhaps looking to offset the big incoming Bosa deal with a more cost controlled contract opposite him. Overall this class feels like it is full of solid but uninspiring picks. Favourite Pick: Both SSs (3.14 & 3.16) – In the middle of a run on safeties these were solid picks. All of the Carolina Ss are FAs next year and not all can be kept so these picks are good insurance policies. Least Liked Pick: Will Grier (7.15) – A complete waste of a pick as backup QBs have no value in BDL while PFA picks are arguably more valuable than any 7thround picks as you can pick players knowing their situations.

Taylor091 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Cuba 2nd Rnd / Pick 7 - Cuba Smugglers select *Rashan Gary - DE - Michigan 3rd Rnd / Pick 7 - Cuba Smugglers select Elgton Jenkins - C - Mississippi State 4th Rnd / Pick 16 - Cuba Smugglers select *Justice Hill - RB - Oklahoma State 5th Rnd / Pick 2 - Cuba Smugglers select *David Long - CB - Michigan 5th Rnd / Pick 7 - Cuba Smugglers select *Michael Jordan - OG - Ohio State 6th Rnd / Pick 5 - Cuba Smugglers select *JoeJuan Williams - CB - Vanderbilt 7th Rnd / Pick 10 - Cuba Smugglers select Max Scharping - OT - Northern Illinois 7th Rnd / Pick 14 - Cuba Smugglers select Josh Oliver - TE - San Jose State Gains: 2020 1st(CAM) Lost: 2020 5th; 2020 7th(LOU) Summary: Cuba’s move to turn a 2ndthis year into a 1 next should really pay off in the future. There is clearly a type of player that Cuba likes early in the draft which is seen looking at the picks above and their roster. The strategy of taking uber-athletic players for their positions definitely has high upside but also comes with a level of risk. Cuba seemed to deviate from the strategy a little once they got to the end of the draft, before going back to it for their last pick. I don’t think Cuba is going to get a lot of future contributions from this group but then in this class I’m not sure they ever expected to. Favourite Pick: Max Scharping (7.10) – Athletically he isn’t wowing anyone but hes big, powerful and consistent enough to do a job at RT although hes never going to be a start at his position. Least Liked Pick: Rashan Gary (2.7) – This is a high pick to use on a classic underachiever who is going to need an innovative and flexible coaching staff to get the best out of him. If he ends up somewhere like Seattle this will look terrible but there is a big risk right now he ends up in a bad spot. Grade: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor091 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Gotham 3rd Rnd / Pick 8 - Gotham Gashslayers select *Josh Jacobs - RB - Alabama 4th Rnd / Pick 8 - Gotham Gashslayers select *Jachai Polite - OLB - Florida 5th Rnd / Pick 8 - Gotham Gashslayers select Kaleb McGary - OT - Washington 6th Rnd / Pick 8 - Gotham Gashslayers select Germaine Pratt - OLB - North Carolina State 7th Rnd / Pick 8 - Gotham Gashslayers select *Bobby Evans - OG - Oklahoma Summary: The biggest get of this draft class for Gotham was WR Tyreek Hill who brings a dynamic threat to their offense. I wonder in a mulligan if Gotham would choose to be more aggressive in the earlier rounds as their draft class feels a little underwhelming and they missed out on some of the top OL prospects where I think they had their greatest need. The guys that they took should provide good depth though they may want to flip McGary and Evans’ designations. Favourite Pick: Josh Jacobs (3.8) – Jacobs probably ends up the only valuable starter from this class, although Polite will be a nice bench threat as a pass rush specialist. Least Liked Pick: Germaine Pratt (6.8) – I don’t HATE any pick but of them all I think Pratt has the least chance to contribute due to his lack of football awareness which seems a bad trait for a LB.

Taylor091 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Hawaii 2nd Rnd / Pick 14 - Hawaii Nightmarchers select Nassir Adderley - FS - Delaware 7th Rnd / Pick 16 - Hawaii Nightmarchers select *Diontae Johnson - WR - Toledo Gains: 2020 1st(WIL) ; 2020 5th(WIL) Summary: I helped Hawaii again this draft so obviously I see it as a good draft. The primary aim was to get out of the 1stround and into the 1stnext year and the trade value for the 1.16 pick was fantastic. I love Adderley and am delighted Hockey took him as I think hes going to be very, very good. Favourite Pick: Diontae Johnson (7.16) – Johnson became a late round favourite of mine. He carries a lot of risk in that he needs to go to a situation where he gets a chance to perform but this is the last pick of the draft. Everyone needs ‘the right situation’ at this point. Least Liked Pick: Bringing in a Brit for advice – The mood we are in at the minute we’ll have Hawaii trying to break away and form its own league #Hexit Grade: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
