MadDog&#039;s Big 254 Board

MadDog's Big 254 Board

MadDog49er · 2013-03-20T13:06:42-07:00

Greetings, all! After much blood, sweat and tears, here is my first posting of the entire draft, my Big 254 board. This board is NOT A MOCK DRAFT, and NOT A DRAFT RANKING. It is a projection of where I believe players will fall during the draft. This first part of the first round has mock draft characteristics, but due to trades that happen all over the place, my goal is not to hit a player with a team at a particular spot. It is to provide a realistic general area where I believe players will be selected. That being said, I do see the Bills surely selecting a QB at 8, hence the projection. As in any projection, players will be left off that "should have been drafted". That is the nature of a limited amount of slots, in this year's case, 254. Have fun, send me questions about players, make criticisms, challenge. It is all fun and games at this point until all workouts are finished. Typing this not knowing the on-campus workout of Star Lotulelei, Mike Catapano and others from today at this point. Surely, one of biggest controversies may be my placement of QB's ranging from Geno Smith to Ryan Nassib to EJ Manuel to Matt Barkley and Matt Scott. And, then there is Manti. I will break down my thinking if you request.

Awesome to see your list come together. Oday Aboushi is from Virginia and not Syracuse.

Thanks. Doubled dipped him and Justin Pugh. Just read that Aboushi lifted the bar three more times, from 18 at the combine to 21 at Pro-Day. Not enough to crack the top 100 in my opinion. Going to have to slip inside at guard is what I think teams will project.

Damn we are sitting rich in this draft. MD, if you bold +5 players within all of our picks, then there are quite a few spots where we have a chance at getting nearly any player!!!

Looking at the first round, I think the most surprising thing aside from Nassib and Tavon over Patterson was Vaccaro lasting almost to our pick. I've always seen him in the teens in mocks.

The only thing people seem to agree on in this safety class is that Vaccaro is the best. Opinions on the rest, from Cyprien to Thomas to Reid to Elam to Rambo, seem to vary greatly. With that in mind, and given our enormous hole in the defensive backfield, shouldn't we do whatever we can to draft Vaccaro if he indeed lasts to the late 20s?

First off, great job, That sure is a lot of names!

Good call on moving Sylvester Williams up from his spot on the last board.

Guys I think are too high:

Floyd - After the CFB season ended he was undervalued by most (most had him in the mid-late 20s) and now I believe he is overvalued by most. Personally I see him going 10-20.

Nassib - I like where you have him and Barkley going, I just see them flip-flopped (Barkley top-10, Nassib early 2nd)

Guys I think are too low:

Okafor - IMO he's too talented a pass rusher to slip out of the 1st

Lemonier - He's received 1st round hype in some circles, of late, but I see him as a solid 2nd round pick at this point. Very talented and versatile.

P. Thomas - I'd be thrilled to grab him around pick # 93, I just don't see him lasting. He's got a great all-around game and imo is one of the better true FS in this class due to his coverage ability.

Duke Williams is a safety and Why so low? He has as good or better striking ability than any other safety in this class and while he is a bit stiff he is much more fluid than say Donte Whitner or even Elam imo.

Kruger - Again, why so low? Great frame and ok-solid production. I haven't been able to find a lot of tape on him but what I have seen looks really good. Solid upside.

I just don't see Geno Smith going in the 2-4 range.

Baccari Rambo should be ranked number 1 based on his name alone

Nice to see Kiko Alonso get some love. Also, if John Boyett didn't get injured last year, I think he would've gotten picked in the 2-3 range. I think whoever takes a chance on him in the later rounds could get an absolute steal.

Corey Fuller is listed twice on your list. Did you mean for one of them to be Marcus Davis, the other VTech WR?

The more I think about Jesse Williams, the more I hope the Niners draft him as a 3-4 DE initially. I know that 40 times are not everything, but a man his size running a sup 5.00 forty is incredible. I think he has the power and speed to be a force on the edge. And if the Niners move to a nickle, he'd a great as a 4-3 DT.

Then...if they could nab Brandon Williams to compete for the NT spot...serious beef.

A future with Jesse on the edge and Brandon in the middle. It is the new Williams wall!

I was going to point out the same thing...Marcus Davis isn't on the board.

Are you saying he should be ranked or he's currently already on the list? Because a command+f search for the name doesn't bring him up.

Marcus Davis isn't listed on MadDog's board as a draftable player. Since the other VaTech WR Corey Fuller is listed twice, I'll assume MD meant for one of those to be Marcus Davis since he is likely a 3rd-5th round prospect.
