If this happens? Let's hope Grant is the game wrecker we thought we got last year.

At the very least i would think he would be a considerable upgrade over Jonathon Hankins. And i don't think Macdonald wants yo go into the season with Reed or Murphy as the NT.

Here is an interesting one. Trades galore. I am really not interested in Milroe but he just kept falling He is ranked 35 so I eventually pulled the trigger on him at 79.

Got 11 players ranked in their top 100. A lot of guys were falling to me at positions of need. Williams is ranked 86, I nearly took him at pick 92 and ended up getting him at 120!

I'd take that one!

One fault with this draft simulator is that it makes it seem like trading back and gaining lots of draft value is normal. I don't think teams are making those types of offers that much in reality and instead of gaining hundreds of points in trade value (from the draft trade value chart) it is much more likely it will only come out slightly to the advantage of the team trading back. That said, i would strongly support the notion of JS moving off of 18 at least back into the late 20s because the experts seem to agree that there are only about 10-15 elite prospects in this draft and there isn't much of a drop-off (or disparity) in talent between 16 and 50.

I agree. It's been awhile since I had time to do a simulation, but there have been a few times I've been very pleased, and other times that I'd trade back and the guy I wanted would go right before me, so I'd trade back and it would happen again! Haha

That's what happened to me in my last one above. I traded back to 26 and the team with pick 25 took Grey Zabel. Then i traded into the early 30's and another team took Donovan Jackson a couple picks before me. So i traded back again to 38 and just missed on Josh Conerly. That's how i ended up with 7 day two picks and 13 total.

Will be interesting to see where Bond lands. SA allegation, rumors that teams view him as a late 2nd, early 3rd pick.

He sure would compliment Kupp and JSN well.

Wait, getting burned by getting too cute, and trading back out of first round - is your real name John Schneider
