Rich7sena Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 Hey all. @IDOG_det, @NickChowaniec, @goldfishwars, @gopherwrestler, @cortes02, @brownie man, @CWood21, @KingOfTheDot Now this draft is winding down, I figure we add context to the teams we've drafted. In a roster breakdown, please include: your roster broken down by position a brief summary of how you built your team what your favorite picks on both sides on the ball This breakdown will be what I end up posting in the voting thread. You can use my template if you want: Quote Offense: 11 Personnel My team's offense borrows a lot from the success of the Eagles. I envision a lot of bunch and tight formations, inside zone runs, and using the tight end as a receiver. Auden Tate takes the role of Alshon Jeffery; DaeSean Hamilton as Nelson Agholor; J'Mon Moore as Torrey Smith; and Hayden Hurst as Zach Ertz. My favorite pick on offense is Tyrone Crowder, who I considered taking much earlier and is one of the rare instances when a player ends playing his natural position on the offensive line. QB: Sam Darnold RB: Royce Freeman TE: Hayden Hurst WR: Auden Tate WR: J'Mon Moore Slot: DaeSean Hamilton LT: Tyrell Crosby RG: Will Hernandez C: Scott Quessenberry RG: Tyrone Crowder RT: Martinas Rankin Defense: 4-2-5 I didn't have a particular team in mind, but the defense is a basic nickel look. The front 3 of Lewis, Vea, and Brown are powerful enough to stifle the run and open things up for my smaller, but fast linebackers. I envision Carter to be a stand-up right end who can also drop in coverage in a pinch. My favorite pick on defense is Isaac Yiadom. I honestly wasn't planning on picking more corners until I watched some of his cutups and even sought some full Boston College games to get a fuller picture. Yiadom will end up being a top 5 corner in this class for me. LE: Tyquan Lewis NT: Vita Vea UT: Andrew Brown RE: Lorenzo Carter SLB: Darius Leonard WLB: Jerome Baker LCB: Anthony Averett RCB: Isaac Yiadom Slot: Duke Dawson SS: Trayvon Henderson FS: Brandon Facyson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldfishwars Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Offense: 11 Personnel I'm quite high on Jackson as a prospect, even if the NFL scouting community don't appear to be enamoured with him - yet. Early on, we're going make use of the speed at wide-out and get Jackson to throw deep off play action with the ability to use his feet if nothing is available. A staple running game behind a runner with good balance and vision, with some featured QB runs should help to keep defenses off-balance. Dallas Goedert should be a good red zone weapon early on. The offensive line has some good, underrated talent throughout. QB: Lamar Jackson RB: Kerryon Johnson WR: Deon Cain WR: Jordan Lasley SWR: Dante Pettis TE: Dallas Goedert LT: Jamarco Jones LG: Sean Welsh C: Frank Ragnow RG: Tony Adams RT: Will Richardson Defense: 3-3-5 I was going to go for a Wade Phillips 3-4 base look, but when I realized Darius Phillips was available with my last pick I decided to go for a 3-3-5 nickel to uitilize a better personnel as he is one of my favorite recent discoveries. With the draft short on outside pass-rushing talent, I took a punt on Landry early and was lucky enough to get Hurst and Bryan who would be ideal in a 1 gap Phillips front. Good luck blocking those chaps up fellas. LDE: Maurice Hurst NT: Poona Ford RDE: Taven Bryan LOLB: Harold Landry ILB: Skai Moore ROLB: Joe Ostman LCB: MJ Stewart RCB: Christian Campbell Slot: Darius Phillips FS: Armani Watts SS: Cody Reyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopherwrestler Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 11 Personnell Offense In reality, I wanted to design an offense that no team can stop. And I think it is safe to say no team will be able to stop every one of my offensive weapons being my excellent offensive line. Washington has the ability to beat any DB deep in this draft class, Kirk can be put in the slot and beat any slot or LB that will be put on the duty of trying to cover him, and Calloway is possibly the best all around WR in this draft class. Not to mention the defense will still have to cover my athletic TE Fumagalli. Oh and probably the best RB to enter the draft in history, Barkley. I ended up also getting the QB I was actually aiming to draft round 1 in the 21st round of the draft. QB: Mike White RB: Saquon Barkley WR: James Washington WR: Antonio Callaway SLOT: Christian Kirk LT: Orlando Brown Jr. LG: Wyatt Teller C: James Daniels RG: Maea Teuhema RT: Greg Senate 4-2-5 DEFENSE Built my defense line based on having 2 run stopping interior lineman, 1 pass rushing specialist, and one DE that can be great with containment yet be able to get after the pass rusher. With that I needed to LB’s that are solid LB’s and 2 safties that are jack of all trade types. The biggest key to my defense was gathering 3 complete lockdown CB’s and I ended up with 3 of my favorites. Offense should struggle against this defense running the ball, and to be able to pass it they will have to find ways to beat my defensive backs which will be a struggle. LDE: Josh Sweat DT: Derrick Nnadi NT: Lowell Lotulelei RDE: Kemoko Turay LB: Josey Jewell LB: Joel Lanning CB: Denzel Ward CB: Carlton Davis SLOT: Levi Wallace S: Godwin Igwebuike S: Jordan Whitehead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie man Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I'm going to put players alongside my drafted players who have been in the role I envision my guy playing in the offense I'm modeling my scheme after. Offense: Rob Chudziski 11 Personnel Vertical Offense I knew exactly what offense I'd be running after round one. Josh Allen wasn't my ideal pick, but to me, he was best QB available and I had to go QB round one. That being said once I picked him I had to build around my franchise QB. I envision Josh as my Cam Newton. Push the pass vertical with big-play receivers on the outside and have a TE and good slot to work everything underneath. Cam's best OC to me so far has been Chud which is why they've brought in Norv Turner this offseason who is the god father of this type of offense. Sony Michel is my 3 down back with speed to take it home at any play, but can still handle 20+ carries a game. Allen isn't accurate consistently so I've got to get him big-bodied receivers on the outside. Cobbs it's his security/red zone guy who Allen showed at the Senior Bowl he can utilize. Chark is the big play deep threat who defenses have to account for on any play. Keke Coutee is my favorite pick for this offense. I think he's one of the most underrated players in the draft, but I think he'll be a destructive slot receiver who will have space to roam with Cobbs and Chark on the outside. Breneman as long as he can stay healthy should be a consistent pass catcher from the TE position who can find the spot in zones, stretch the seam, and be another threat in the red zone for Allen. My Oline has a lot of size with a lot of experience, and no true holes. Brett Toth could be the best player on the line when its all said and done. I'm going to run a power scheme with some zone sprinkled in to take advantage of Michel's speed. My running game should be solid which will open up the play action to take advantage of my playmakers especially Chark. QB: Josh Allen Wyoming - Cam Newton Carolina RB: Sony Michel Georgia - Ryan Matthews San Diego WR: Simmie Cobbs JR Indiana - Malcolm Floyd San Diego WR: DJ Chark LSU - Brandon Lafell Carolina Slot: Keke Coutee Texas Tech - Slot version of TY Hilton Indy TE: Adam Breneman UMass - Greg Olsen Carolina LT: Chukwuma Okorafor Western Michigan - Marcus McNeil San Diego LG: Brendan Mahon Penn State - Jack Mehort Indy C: Will Clapp LSU -Nick Hardwick San Digeo RG: Colby Gossett Appalachian state Ryan Tucker Browns RT: Brett Toth Army - Jordan Gross Carolina Defense: Wade Phillips One Gap 3-4 I knew exactly what defense I imagined as soon as I got to the second round and Arden Key was there, and its basically the same scheme I drafted for last year. Which by the looks of it I probably had at worst a top 3 defense last year with drafting Watt and Marshon Lattimore(At the sake of my offense last year which was pretty trash). I'm running Wade Phillips' aggressive one gap 34. I tried to get a star on each level and them get some role players along-side that star. Daron Payne is my Aaron Donald who can play NT as well as a penetrating end. BJ Hill and RJ Mcintosh have great size and will fill up their gaps allowing for Payne to create havoc. My linebackers are the stars of the defense which should be the case with any 34. I am a huge Arden Key fan as long as he is played at outside linebacker which is where I'll be playing him so he doesn't have to take on blockers as much. He'll have a strong D line giving him the ability to purely rush the passer. Rashaan Evans is my guy to chase everything on the second level. Dooley is my run stopper who will move around to allow Evans and Key to feast and then Armstrong will be my weak link but will be able to offer some pass rush and I'm just hoping will contain enough for Evans to make the play. In my defensive back-field Justin Reid is my Lamarcus Joyner who is covering deep while I play my cover 3 keeping everything in front of him. Miles is my weak link he'll basically always be playing close to the link of scrimmage. Hes a sure tackler so he'll fit in well there. McFadden is my corner with length to match up against bigger receivers while Reed is my quicker guy to keep up with the guys that relly on their agility. So basically Payne is my Aaron Donald wrecking running plays at NT and rushing from the end spot on passing downs. Key is my Von Miller pure outside guy. Evans is my star cleanup man, and Reid is the important FS keeping everything in front and making interceptions. I've put names along side the role players have played in this defense LE: RJ Mcintosh Miami - Malik Jackson Broncos NT: Da'ron Payne Alabama - Aaron Donald Rams RE: BJ Hill NC State - Derek Wolfe Broncos SOLB: Dorance Armstrong JR Kansas - Connor Barwin Rams SILB: Garrett Dooley Wisconsin - Todd Davis Broncos WILB: Rashaan Evans Alabama - Brandon Marshall Broncos WOLB: Arden Key LSU - Von Miller/Robert Quinn Rams/Broncos LCB: Tarvarus McFadden - Trumaine Johnson Rams RCB: DJ Reed Kansas State- Chris Harris Jr Broncos FS: Justin Reid Stanford - Lamarcus Joyner Rams SS: Donnie Miles UNC - TJ Ward Broncos Honestly I really like how my team turned out. Miles, Armstrong, Breneman, and my interior Oline are the weak links. But my offense has purpose and is a proven fit for my QB and my linebackers are top shelf along with some playmakers around them creating a really nice 34.

IDOG_det Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 QB: Baker Mayfield RB: John Kelly WR: DJ Moore WR: Gary McKnight RB/WR: Kalen Ballage TE: Ian Thomas LT: Jamil Demby LG: Isaiah Wynn C: Billy Price RG: Alex Cappa RT: Aaron Stinnie WDE: Duke Ejiofor NT: PJ Hall UT: Kentavius Street SDE: Jalyn Holmes MLB: Jack Cichy SLB: Hercules Mata'afa RCB: Nick Nelson FS: Ronnie Harrison WLB/SS: Shaquem Griffin NCB/S: Kamrin Moore LCB: Jaire Alexander PR/KR: DJ Moore/Nick Nelson/Jaire Alexander I got the best QB in the draft with Baker Mayfield. My offense will have no limitations in the passing game, Mayfield can make any throw I need him to make and can throw from any position or platform I need him to. Don't need to say much about him, he's a stud. My offense would generally operate quickly to prevent defenses from making major adjustments to the multiple formations that can be run from these personnel. My skill positions are very versatile. John Kelly is a solid receiver from the backfield and can be put in the slot. Kalen Ballage can play RB and every WR position. DJ Moore can play every WR position and can be put into the backfield. Gary McKnight can play every WR position and can be used on sweeps or jet motions. Ian Thomas can play every TE position, he can play at WR, and he can even line up in the backfield. On any play I could go five wide or I could run 21 personnel and motion a WR next to the TE to crack block. Safeties and Linebackers will have to match up with players like Ian Thomas, Kalen Ballage, and John Kelly, which is a win for my offense. John Kelly might be the angriest runner in this class. I love the attitude he brings. My only concern is his long speed. He can make any play I want him to from the RB spot, I just don't know if he can turn 20 yard gains into 40+ yard gains. Hopefully some work with a track coach in preparation for the 40 will help him there. DJ Moore is probably the 2nd most exciting WR in this class behind James Washington. He's got some Golden Tate/Stefon Diggs to his game, he can play inside or out, he's a solid route runner, he catches the ball damn well, he pays attention to the little parts of the game, he can gets yards after the catch. He doesn't fit the body mold of a "#1 WR" but he's got the skills to produce like one. Gary McKnight might be one of the most under-the-radar prospects right now. I would be shocked if he isn't drafted. He ran a 4.44 at the Dream Bowl last month and could easily get that down into the 4.3's with actual training leading up to a pro day. He reminds me of John Ross a little, but without the knee's made of tissue paper. 6'0" 192, ran a 4.44 40, 6.5 3-cone, 4.06 short shuttle, 36" vertical, 10 reps on the bench...all on limited training shortly after the season. I'm excited about him and happy to get him, he's a good deep threat and he's another guy that pays attention to the little things about WR play. Kalen Ballage is a freak, he can play anywhere I basically want him to, he's a smart player and knows not only where he needs to get better but also how to get better/who to contact to learn how to get better. He's a matchup nightmare and if I get him lined up vs a LB in space then I'm in a pretty good spot. Ian Thomas is probably the best athlete at TE in this class. He's got a solid build and he shows some potential as a blocker. He isn't consistent as a blocker, but he's got the strength and occasional nastiness to make a good blocker. Just need to see that all the time. He catches the ball well, he's good after the catch, he runs solid routes, he produced very well when healthy, and he's still fairly young. He needs a little but of development but he could become a great TE that can be used all over the place. My offensive line has two of the three best offensive lineman in this draft with Isaiah Wynn and Billy Price. Both are very technically proficient players that bring a very specific attitude to the offensive line. Quenton Nelson is the best OL in this draft, but these two should very much be in the consideration to be top 10-15 picks as well. Alex Cappa, Jamil Demby, and Aaron Stinnie are all small school players on my OL but all three of them are good players. Alex Cappa proved at the Senior Bowl why he should be among the first offensive tackles drafted this year and displayed the nastiness at that Senior Bowl that was evident on his film at Humboldt State. Cappa has some of the best torque and rotational power I have ever seen from a college offensive lineman and his transition to right guard will help put him in a position that will let that shine through. Normally I don't support moving OL away from their most used spots, but Cappa's skill set can absolutely work at guard, and under the tutelage of LeCharles Bentley he will be taught great techniques for the position and will be given the best opportunity to move spots. Jamil Demby also showed out at the Senior Bowl and displayed great strength that matched what he put on film at Maine. His pass set was efficient and consistent, his hands and grip strength are phenomenal allowing him to stonewall guys once they get into his body, and he was incredibly impressive in the run game, particularly on double teams. Demby could stand to improve his hip mobility a little more and will need to work on more varied pass sets, but he has the base set of skills to be a very good player in the NFL. Aaron Stinnie might have the most upside of any OL I drafted, but he is also the least ready of any OL I drafted and will have the hardest transition moving from LT to RT. Early in the season at James Madison, Stinnie looked like he could be a new version of Donald Penn. As the season went on, he started to struggle with fatigue (particularly late in games) and his technique basically went out the window. Stinnie needs to fix his stance, he needs to re-work his set, he needs to develop better hands usage, and he also needs to improve his hip mobility. If he can put everything together he could be a damn good player. He is built very well, he has ridiculously long arms, he can move people about as well as anyone, he plays nasty, and he can get out into space and work. For now, he will likely struggle a little in his pass set, but he will be helped by scheme in the form of quick passes, screens, options, slide protections, play action, and rollouts. He will also get help from his TE Ian Thomas and his RB's John Kelly and Kalen Ballage. Across the board my OL are badasses that can get after it in the run game. The interior of my OL will give Mayfield a very clean pocket to step up into and my tackles will just need to ride guys over the top and maintain their inside half-man position. My defensive ends are studs against the run and have great length. Ejiofor is the most developed end in this draft and Jalyn Holmes has the potential to be a very good player. Both of them can play on either side of the line and they can both rush from the inside as well. Holmes was used in a heavy rotation at OSU but he will be even better in the NFL when he has a chance to rush the whole game and use more moves to set up OL to counters and other moves late in the game. PJ Hall and Kentavius Street are two of the most athletic players in this draft. Hall is solidly 300+ despite being shorter at 6'0" but he can chase RB's 40 yards down the field. Hall is a special athlete and can be incredibly disruptive when he's playing on the inside. He was mostly used at DE at Sam Houston State but has always looked considerably better when he's inside penetrating and shooting gaps compared to setting the edge. Kentavius Street played all over for NC State's talented front 7. He got the short end of the stick because he was the most versatile of the group. NC State's defense basically only allows for one end to be a primary pass rusher while the other DL are tasked to play the run first and play their rush lanes. Kentavius Street squats 700 pounds, he's 285-290 of damn near pure muscle, he was used in coverage against RB's and TE's at that weight and could run with them step for step (he was actually almost better in coverage than their LB's were), he can play on the edge or inside, and he's got a shorter build at only 6'2" but he's got solid length with 33.5" arms and a 79.625" wingspan. Street has tremendous power, he literally tossed a Vanderbilt OL to the ground with one hand. He has tremendous speed, his first step and the ground he covers after it are clearly impressive when you watch him attack the passer. His closing speed is ridiculous for his size. His lateral movements are also ridiculous for his size (his bend and his ability to cover RB's and TE's at 285). Bradley Chubb skipped NC State's bowl game giving Street a chance to more often be the primary pass rusher for NC State's defense and he didn't disappoint. Jack Cichy missed this year with a torn ACL but he was one of the best LB's the year previous. He can do it all, he can cover, he can blitz, he can take on blockers, he can shed blockers, he tackles very well, he diagnoses plays quickly, he takes good angles, he's explosive to the ball, etc. Only concern is making sure the knee is fine. He'd be in the conversation to be a 1st or 2nd round pick had been healthy this year. Hercules Mata'afa is the biggest question in this draft. He's 6'2" 250 but he played DT for Washington State. His athletic skill set certainly doesn't fit at DT in the NFL and his size is a problem there as well. Mata'afa has the best first step in this class though, and has limited experience on the edge or in space. His role in this defense will start off very similar to Anthony Barr's role in Mike Zimmer's defense, he will blitz very often to take advantage of his best skill, but I trust his athleticism enough to drop into coverage. He's an interesting projection, but used properly he could be very similar to someone like Anthony Barr or Jamie Collins. Jaire Alexander is a stud CB. He was great in all kinds of coverage, he can play any CB spot, and he plays the run very well. His injury this year slowed down his hype, but the talent is still there. There aren't really many flaws in his game. His height makes some people apprehensive, but 5'11" corners can easily thrive in this league.Nick Nelson is a stud athlete, but inconsistent corner. He was used in press coverage too often at Wisconsin, his skill set much better fits a defense that likes using more off coverage. He is arguably one of the best movers in the draft class at any position. His speed is good and he can move laterally extremely well. He is extremely flexible and mobile but he is also very explosive. He has a ton of potential as an off-man off-zone corner if he can be more consistent with his technique, play the run better, and learn to not bite on routes too early. Ronnie Harrison is an intriguing prospect. DB's coming out of Alabama's system are always weird to project, but Ronnie Harrison has shown elite flashes. He can operate as a single high safety, which he will often do in this defense, but he can also move down into the box and play a pseudo-linebacker position. He's a leader of the defense and he's the guy I want deep having eyes on everything. He just needs to make sure he tackles proper angles to the ball in the air and takes proper angles to ball carriers. His open-field tackling is solid, he's a good athlete, and I wouldn't worry about him having to take on blocks or cover larger TE's. And he's a hitter, which is something I love from DB's. Kamrin Moore is a player that's really flying under the radar. He's played CB for Boston College but his skill set fits at CB and safety. BC likes to play a lot of quarters coverage, which puts Moore in zone really far off the ball. He diagnoses plays as well as pretty much any college DB and he is a great zone defender. When I want to have two safeties and two CB's, he would play safety. In sets I want 3 CB's and 1 safety, he plays boundary CB and one of Nelson or Alexander move to the slot. When I want 3 CB's and 2 safeties, he plays boundary CB, Nelson/Alexander move to the slot, and Shaquem Griffin plays the other safety spot. Shaquem Griffin is a hybrid linebacker/safety in my defense. He's basically just playing wherever I want him to. If I want to go coverage heavy, he will drop back to safety with Harrison. When I want to play heavy a "base defense" he'll move to WLB. He's a great player, he can run sideline to sideline, he can take on blocks, he can cover, he can rush the passer, he can do it all. His projection to safety is interesting and NFL teams are already looking to see what he can do there. I can literally use him from playing deep at safety to playing him on the edge and everything in between. He can easily cover TE's and RB's which helps in letting Ronnie Harrison play single high. He's the ultimate chess piece on the defensive side of the ball. Moore, Nelson, and Alexander are all good return guys. They would compete for that spot.

cortes02 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 OFFENSE I tried to make as balanced of an offense as I possibly could. I went with a 3 wide receiver set with Calvin Ridley in the slot. Putting Ridley in the slot allows him to move around in the formation which would create mismatch problems for defenses. With my other receivers (Wilson - 6'3") and (Wims - 6'4") on the outside, their height alone creates a mismatch for any defense that doesn't have taller DB's. Chubb will be the workhorse in the running game and keep defenses on their toes while Mason Rudolph is throwing touchdowns to his receiving core. Tight end Dalton Schultz is solid with run blocking being his bread and butter and an occasional catch here and there. The offensive line will be able to hold at the point of attack with Kolton Miller being the best of the bunch. QB - MASON RUDOLPH RB - NICK CHUBB WR - CALVIN RIDLEY WR - CEDRICK WILSON WR - JAVON WIMS TE - DALTON SCHULTZ LT - KOLTON MILLER RT - JOSEPH NOTEBOOM LG - SKYLER PHILLIPS RG - K.C. MCDERMOTT C - COLEMAN SHELTON DEFENSE I went with a standard 4-3 defense with the secondary being the strength of the team. Jackson, Elliot, and Williams are the ball hawks while Blanding is the hammer from his SS spot. Holland and Lawler bring the fierce pass rush while Settle and McKenzie stuff the run up the middle. To clean up what's leftovers and bring the pain is my LB core of Scales, Thomas, and Williams. DE - JEFF HOLLAND DE - JUSTIN LAWLER DT - KHALIL MCKENZIE DT - TIM SETTLE OLB - TEGRAY SCALES OLB - MATTHEW THOMAS ILB - TRE' WILLIAMS CB - JOSH JACKSON CB - DARIOUS WILLIAMS FS - DESHON ELLIOT SS - QUIN BLANDING Peace!!!
