    But it's not even like a plausible scenario starting at Step 1 of 32 is all I was getting at. You've literally just picked random names.

    Took a flier on love dropping out the first round (I just can't see the pats taking him and struggling to find another team). Delpit to the saints seems a reach too but they've seen far too much of him being great to not take him if he's there (hopefully).

    Wirfs to the cardinals would just be so fun. Ridiculously mobile qb protected by a freaky athletic tackle.

    No, there's logic behind every pick, it's just that some of them are extremely far fetched.

    Will attempt to find that tomorrow evening.

    I really struggled when I got into the middle. All the teams that really need lineman and backers get on when the really good ones are gone.

    Jonathan Taylor to the titans would be so good though. A Henry/Taylor beatdown.

    Nah, that'll probably be almost half of the first round.

    I didn't realise you'd had the Bengals pick confirmed, Mr Schefter.

    It's going to be Burrow, obviously, but no pick is 100% until it's announced, so why not play around with some hypotheticals? Dolphins could offer them five first rounders to give him up, for instance. Or he could do the Tunsil gas mask tomorrow.

    Because Herbert isn't going #1 so once you do that you're basically committing to wasting the next (time) of your day on a bit that wasn't even remotely humorous enough otherwise to be considered worth sharing with any other human than yourself.

    Well then I guess he isn't also going #2 or whatever either then is he you absolute fuckin genius? So guess what that also means? Your bit is still invalid and a waste of time.

    I bet he enjoyed himself more and for longer doing it than you have shitting your undies clean off your body at him for it.

    Counterfactuals can be fun little intellectual exercises. In this case there's more than one in play, but then 'what if the Bengals biff a draft' is hardly a counterfactual at all.

    Patriots are 'trading' Gronk to the Bucs, because he's told them that while he wants to play again, he only wants to do so with Brady and not for them. They'll be sending him and a seventh round pick and getting a fourth round pick in return. Given he's retired and it sounds like he wouldn't be coming back to play for them whatever happened, it's decent business for the Pats. They're essentially swapping a seventh for a fourth.

    We were touched on it briefly before Bruh had yet another meltdown over nothing.

    It's great business by the Patriots, he was never going to play for them again and he looked pretty poor in his last season as injuries have clearly taken their toll.

    I hope you're going to be posting a letter bomb to MJD as he also has Herbert going number 1 in his serious draft, Bruh.

    Bruh: You've just wasted your time, Dan
    Also Bruh: *wastes his time critiquing about something somebody else did for some harmless fun*

    That said I'm all in on Shane Falco for the number one spot. #2 is clearly going to be Julius Campbell though, idiot.

    Last night at about 12:30am I was wondering about a mock draft where you can only draft players who wore the same jersey number as the pick you're making, so you might get that one at some point too. Spoilers, there are a lot of numbers that nobody good seems to wear. On the other hand, if you can get a number in the 1-15 range you're probably going to get drafted - 1 & 2 in particular have a bunch of studs.

    I need this quarantine to end

    EDIT: On a related note, TDN did a hometown only mock.

    Yeah I was thinking college/state only draft. Kind of like what the jags do each first round anyway.

    Edit that hometown draft is stupid.

    Dan. You can only draft a player who played college football in the same state as the team playing. Go.

    Trades are allowed if you think a team would jump up to get a specific prospect.

    Joe Burrow used to play at Ohio State...

    The Texas & Florida teams will be loaded, obviously. Saints will have a nice group of LSU players all to themselves too Nobody plays in Maryland though, so sorry Washington & Baltimore.

    Yeah. That counts.

    I want to see a full list of 32 picks. The hometown draft is stupid because he’s basically having to trail through the Unknowns. Bar maybe the raiders or chiefs, I suspect most of the teams have pretty high level prospects.

    It's probably not that different by college, to be honest. Nobody good for any of the New York teams or Las Vegas, not many decent prospects out of places like Tennessee & Minnesota this year, although just enough to get by. I gave it a quick look & it's pretty difficult to do a whole mock without just spamming picks for the teams from Texas, Ohio, Carolina, Georgia & Florida.

    I'll compromise & do a list of top five players in the class by each state...

    That’s an impressive list.

    It’s going to be brilliant if the raiders move to Vegas is focused on tourism which is now absolutely fucked.

    Casinos are probably struggling too.

    Mine said 2 1/2 hours of coverage for one round and since we have 3 picks I can't even fuck half of it off.

    Well, I mean, you could because it's one of the dullest things going.

    Then just read the results, watch any videos of anything actually entertaining that happens and win.

    2.5 hours for one round is less than 5 minutes per pick which seems incredibly optimistic.

    True. If I recall the time limit is 3 minutes between picks once the clock actually starts. If the clock ACTUALLY starts at say, 8pm, the draft would technically have to conclude by 9:36pm.

    Since they have the allotted time from 8:00pm to 11:30pm I bet it'll be something like...

    8:00pm - 9:00pm : Pre-draft coverage and interviews
    9:00pm - 9:15pm : Stupid fuckin montage videos of the top 3 prospects
    9:15pm - 10:45pm : Actual draft, cause some picks won't take the entire 3 hours but they'll have a bunch of commercials and shit
    10:45pm - 11:30pm : Live REACTIONS! and bullshit.

    Oh man it's 3 and 1/2 hours i typed that wrong initially my bad.

    Bengals will be put on the clock almost instantly and the timing is 10 minutes for the first round.

    The seventh round is 4 minutes.
