Thread for draft simulations:

[Pharmabro]

My no trade draft:

I was able to get the #1 tackle in draft who was ranked 13th overall at # 18.

But then I kept on getting tackles ranked highly when I picked so @ # 50 I picked Milroe but then

Connely dropped to me at # 52. So, my thought here was he could be my #3, or 4 Tackle and have some sets where we go with a jumbo-sized tight end. But he is an athlete that can move in space and my thoughts are he has range to be a guard that can get out from the right side of the line to the left side of the line to be a pulling lead blocker.

And then at #82 another OT that is slated to have a future on the interior fell which is nearly a full round late and I was like there is my center.

I followed it up with a couple of good tight ends, and RBs, mixed in a LB and with my final pick I took a shot at WR. This draft was not kind to me with WR. I think it is now our biggest need and I thought at least 1 needs to be a 1st or 2nd rounder but they were always just the bad luck chuck. Pick #137 I thought I had a good one with like 15 picks to go there was #97, #103, #111, #122, #128, #149, and #172 went off the board and the highest ranked WR Was # 199

I think if the draft developed like this for you might have to think about trading for a WR or signing a decent WR in FA. AN alternative strategy might be to go with a lot of Jumbo looks with sliding in Milroe for a series or two with a full back and a RB. Another option would be having 2 of our good pass catching TE in the game.

I think I will try one more

I like it, and I think it is perfectly logical that we over draft at Tackle. Many believe Lucas is well suited to be a mauling Guard, and it isn't like we can count on him to start a full season anyway. Has he ever?

[Gametime]

No lucas has never played in all of the games in a season in the NFL. He missed one game his first year, then the next 2 have been less than half per year.

In college he only played in 4 games his junior year. He played all the rest of the games (as it looks) the other 3 years. So, not injury prone until the NFL.

[Sibelius Hindemith]

After the recent trades I think we need:

2 X WR
TE
2-3 interior line offense
Safety
LB
Edge

You mean like this?...

SH you got 9 in the top 100? That is pretty impressive.

Lots of GMs desperate to trade up in that simulation. I didn't even have to trade any of the Seahawk's 2026 picks away. As a rule, i never do anyway. And i convert any 2026 picks offered by other teams into 2025 picks.

If the Hawks draft Milroe I’m never watching another game.

He’s a worse Jake Locker who had no business playing QB in the NFL.

[Lamda]

Don't think they take a QB this year unless Dart is available with one of their 2nd round picks. If you think about it - it doesn't make a lot of sense to take one this year. If you take one this year with a 2nd round pick or earlier - it means you don't see Darnold lasting more than 1 season. I think they will roll the dice on him this year and see how he does - if the team does terrible and finish with a top 15 pick or something then next year you draft a QB and have him sit for half the season under Darnold otherwise he is what they thought he was and we won't need a QB for years at least.

[Sibelius Hindemith]

This right here is as close to what i would consider an ideal draft as i have been able to get. Banks dropping to 34 may not be realistic, so substitute Donovan Jackson there if you want. I would have liked to get a CB but the good ones went fast, and many of you would decry the lack of a developmental type QB, but i think that can be punted another season.

Banks can play LG and back up either tackle position while Jones projects as a guard.
Harris and Lacy are both tall physical receivers.
Umanmielen is raw but has great developmental potential.
Alexander and Cross are solid DT prospects that would help shore up the D line.
Mafah is the ideal short yardage back.

The main problem with this draft is that there's no way a team could trade back that many times and accumulate that many day 2 picks. There's a reason that never happens.

Man, some good beef upfront there, and Princely in that spot seems like a steal. I also really like Helm. I'd take that for sure.

And I agree with the fact that this is no longer the year to go QB unless it's Dart in the 2nd round. Get by with Darnold and Howell and look at the class next year that is better.

I would add Nose Tackle to that. not DT in general - BIg Cat, Murphy, and Jarran are all good at that, but specifically need the fire hydrant middle plugger that will occupy blockers so the other DL shine. Great deep draft for that fortunately!
And could always use another corner - Jobe could still develop but Pritchett doesnt excite me as our only young depth guys.

Love cross. Who was an all American in 2023/24. Undersized, but so good. Great backup that will get into the backfield from the dt position.
