Now that the process is essentially over, it was a good year (or maybe bad depending on how you look at it) for my draft board. Only guys that I wanted but didn't get were Tyler Scott, Tucker Kraft, and to a lesser extent, Cory Trice. Not sure if that says I missed on value or not, but curious to see where those guys go in real life. Noting I definitely was trying to trade up for Scott and Kraft.
sorry, but I hope every one of your Eagles picks busts. lol
Unless the Ravens draft or sign any of them
Bite your tongue! Or I'll pray for double in return.
I was hoping that Scott would fall a little further as well. Was debating on him and Siaki and could very well have made an incorrect gamble. Kraft I thought was already gone, so I feel your pain. I think you did with Trice what I did with C.J. Johnson. I had the chance to draft him but just kept putting it off because I thought nobody was aware of him.

I gotta say, the one guy I am devastated to not have gotten is Tre´Vius Hodges-Tomlinson. He is my absolute #1 draft crush this year!
As for my Patriots draft:
And I am pretty sure i "overdrafted" Brian Branch at 14, but I gotta say, he is one of like 3 blue-chip defensive prospects for me and I can see him excel right away in multiple roles and absolutely love the way he play the game.
I feel like Jahmyr Gibbs gets kinda overlooked with all the hype around Bijan Robinson. Gibbs is such an explosive and versatile player that can score any time he gets the ball and he is such a great receiving back, which is something the Patriots Offense is gonna need under Billy O´Brien.
After that, Foskey is raw but full of potential and fills a Patriots need that often gets overlooked.
A.T. Perry could develop into a very solid WR with quite a bit of upside. Terell Smith bolsters my DB group and gives it some depth, Charlie Jones just scream Patriots Slot WR and Cameron Young could be a steal in round 6.

Oh i am 1000% happy with Branch at 14, just think he will get drafted later IRL.
Kamara is a good comparison! And if he turns out to be that good (or better) then I will die a happy man xD
Yes, Smith seems to getting more and more love and hype lately, will be interesting to see!
That's fair. He could drop into the 20s. I would be shocked if he's not drafted in Day 1. I think it'd hard to be better than Kamara in his prime. But I would not be surprised if Gibbs makes a similar impact in the two facets. He legit looks like an actual receiver in the passing game.
lmao Okay, to my defense, with a name like Loic Ngassam Nya, he had to be on a team somewhere.
What if I told you Hailassie was signed in round 1 of UDFA?
I, uh, did that to make you feel better. But no, good catch. I've just got my first PC build up and I am struggling with this new keyboard. Damn. I guess I can't have all the funny names. At least I still get to keep Bumper Pool.
lol Only because I get paid in draft picks. Otherwise, I'd be handing in my two weeks.
Also, I was watching tape on someone else and purely by osmosis saw Ryan make one catch, and was like, I'm in.

Don’t get any ideas
Left side where I picked them in the FM, right side where they went in real life
Bengals:
Big "misses" were Sean Tucker (5th) and Tyrus Wheat (7th) who went undrafted. 5 UDFAs got drafted - two in the 6th and three in the 7th
Jaguars:
Big miss was Clark Phillips, who I knew would go later at the time I picked him, but I did not want to miss out on him. 6 of my UDFAs got drafted, including two in the 4th, one in the 5th, and three in the 7th
Saints:
One of my 6ths, Joey Fisher, went undrafted. Otherwise, Drew Sanders who I picked in the 2nd went in the 3rd. 4 of my UDFAs got drafted, including one in the 6th and three in the 7th

Los Angeles Rams -- picked Olusegun a 1 1/2 rounds early, but that was my only big miss. Steven Gilmore (late 5th) and Mekhi Garner (early 6th) went undrafted as well.
