2024 ES GM's Mock Draft....

[drowland]

Bo Melton falling to the 7th round is a travesty.  

 

 

But hey the Commanders took two of my picks..Percy Butler and Cole Turner.  A little surprised Butler went that high but I guess after all those safeties went in the 3rd, his measurables were way better then what was left.  And he'll be a gunner day 1.

Packers positions filled through the draft

WR

Real: 2nd, 4th, 7th

Mine: 1st, 3rd, 4th

OL

Real: 3rd, 4th, 7th

Mine: 1st, 5th

LB

Real: 1st

Mine: 2nd

EDGE

Real: 5th

Mine: 2nd

DB

Real: 7th

Mine: 4th

TE

Real: Undrafted

Mine: 7th

RB

Real: Undrafted

Mine: 7th

LS

Real: Undrafted

Mine: 7th

DL

Real: 1st, 7th

Mine: Undrafted

 

Overall, a pretty close fit in needs filled.  I didn't take a dedicated Defensive Lineman, but I did take a versatile EDGE rusher who can play inside.  The positions I drafted for that the Packers did not were all 7th round luxury picks having filled my biggest needs.

My results from the ES draft:

 

Chicago:

39) Dax Hill.  Actual pick: 31   +8

48) Daniel Faalele. Actual pick: 110  -62

71) Wan'Dale Robinson.  Actual pick: 43  +28

148) Josh Jobe. Actual pick: UDFA  -114

178) Jake Ferguson. Actual pick: 129  +49

186) Abram Smith. Actual pick: UDFA  -76

193) Jayden Peevy. Actual pick: UDFA  -69

Total draft score: -263. Horrid performance.

 

Hitting on Hill was a no brainer to me. I did hit on Robinson and Ferguson as well. The rest of this draft is abysmal. Having three of your seven picks go undrafted is not good. I am kind of shocked Jobe and Smith both went undrafted. Probably my worst performance ever in the ES draft in all honesty.

 

New England:

21) Devin Lloyd. Actual pick: 27  -6

54) Roger McCreary. Actual pick: 35  +19

85) Dylan Parham. Actual pick: 90  -5

127) Jalen Nailor. Actual pick: 191  -64

170) Bubba Bolden. Actual pick: UDFA  -92

200) Jack Coan.  Actual pick: UDFA  -62

210) Matt Araiza. Actual pick: 180  +30

Total score: -180

 

Not a whole lot better performance with New England. My only real hit was McCreary. I had two players go undrafted as well. I can understand Coan not getting drafted. But Bolden surprises me a little bit. We will see how these undrafted players from both teams end up doing in the league. As all of them have been signed to UDFA contracts. But overall this was a very poor year for me in the ES draft.

I'm right there with you partner.

I did well with Atlanta. Only big issue was Carson Strong not getting drafted. His medicals were apparently worse than I knew. I also took Treylon Burks higher than most but I stand by that pick. I did really well with my the rest of the rounds with many of my later rd picks going earlier in the real draft. 

 

If I were an Atlanta fan I would be very happy with this draft. I addressed needs with quality players. You can argue if Burks should go that high or later but he will produce. Big body, very good after the catch, and runs decent routes. Yes, he will need to be more consistent at route running but most rookie WRs do. I like him a lot. I am very clearly in the minority as I am with Drake London. His drops bother me. In fact everything about him (London) reminds me of Laquan Treadwell. I am probably wrong but was willing to take that chance. 

 

Brisker is not the fishiest but the dude just makes plays. I saw some said they were unimpressed but when you look at his reading of plays and ability to put himself in the right place and finally his versatility, I really liked him. He was a target who I thought might go late 1st. Was glad he was still there in the early 2nd. Kenneth Walker III was pretty close to a steal. He could even go 1st rd. He was clearly one of the top RBs in the draft. To get him late 2nd was awesome. Then Nik Bonitto. As Atlanta continues to change to a 3-4, Nik provides an excellent OLB. He is a bit small for DE and may be a little undersized even for OLB but it's close. He is crazy athletic with great get off and flexibility which should make up for his size. He can also drift inside and out in terms of pass rush. He will need to show he can set the edge for run D and may need to gain a little bulk. But his freakish athleticism was too hard to pass up. 

 

Then the wheels came off. Carson's medicals must have been worse than I say. I knew I was taking him a little early. But with 5 picks in the first 82, it was worth it take a flier. But he never got drafted. Will watch this one very closely. It may have been the worst pick I have ever made but you never know. 

 

The rest are all solid players who i got mostly later i nth draft. All in all i addressed all major needs and added some quality depth including a potential QB, even if he didn't get drafted. Overall I am very happy with this draft. Not worried about the numbers. 

 

 

Arizona was not as good. I ended up with several undrafted players but in fairness they are all in 6th and 7th rds. But still was not a very good draft by the numbers. I think many were surprised how far Booth dripped. But I still believe he is a first rd player. I think it was more need based than him. Max Mitchell was undervalued but I took him too early. I really felt like he is a good fit in AZ and Murray needs better protection. I went OL with the next 2 picks and am good with that. Thier Oline was ****. Kyler or whoever will be under center for AZ next year will be the benefactor of this draft. After that it's mostly nothing but again they were mid 6th or later. But it was just not good. We will see how it goes. 

 

Overall it was a less than average draft at best. I should have done better. But hey, it's still a lot of fun.

7-255  Zakoby McClain undrafted but signed, 7 slots lower; -1 points lower

7-260  Dai'Jean Dixon undrafted, 2 slots lower; -1 points lower

All told I gave the Texans +2345.4 draft points better than the real draft, I'll take it.

 

Obviously, the real test is to see how these players pan out.  From just a draft value perspective, however, I think I held my own.

Please go ahead and let us know. 

 

I’ll go first, I’m in.

I am in for the Bears again. Will do NE again if you cant find a substitute. But I would prefer to only have one team this year since Chicago has so many draft picks.

[Chump Bailey]

Why not? 

 

[KillBill26]

I'm in for the broncos again.  Thanks for offering to run this again, always a good time.

[Koolblue13]

I have always wanted to do this, but the curse keeps me away.

 

Any time I try to invest in something like the babe draft or whatever, my real life goes to ****.

[COWBOY-KILLA-]

Ok so we got 4/5 teams locked in. I’ll start to direct message everyone Soon, see if we can get this going.

If you have a change of heart kmp. It’s easy and fun man. Not too big of a deal. Nothing to stress about, we try and make it easy.

Thanks. Are the Eagles available?

[goskins10]

Ok, the Falcons are in. I would like to propose a temporary rule change to allow player trades. I have a QB I would like to trade. He is slow (well refuses to run), can't throw very far, and is a TO machine when he gets pressured, but he has a lot of moxie and is a really nice guy. I hear thats good for a few 1st rders. Let me know if anyone is interested.

It’s not at the moment, but as we get peoples responses I’m sure there will be a choice for some teams. You’ll be able to see who is available as we go along. 

[Skinsinparadise]

I've been doing the Dolphins but alas they have no first rounder.  Last time I took on two teams forgetting the other team.  But I can do any two teams if that helps

Ty! So we’ll leave dolphins open and put you down for 2 misc teams atm. Let’s see how it shakes out w/ re-assignments. Thanks again. 

[duffy]

I'm down to do the Ravens again. Hopefully I won't be drafting a QB early...

[COWBOY-KILLA-]

The invites have been sent to everyone, but I want to open it up to other ES members so that we can reduce the amount of teams that some of the guys on here are carrying..

 

Any ES'er out there that has ever wanted to do this, It's a blast and we try and make it as easy as possible. Lets go!
