2018 NFL Draft Simulator

[MarshallMoss]

I like the idea of trading back for Leighton. Unfortunately Buffalo would not give up their two first rounders for our 5th in the simulator. So we settled on their 22nd, 53rd and 65. (not a great trade but the best that was offered). I did some trade ups in a 5 round mock to ensure we could get 3 1st round talent studs with our first three picks:

YOUR PICKS
1: LB LEIGHTON VANDER ESCH
2: CB ISAIAH OLIVER
2: DL TAVEN BRYAN (coin flip with Billy Price)
3:RB RASHAAD PENNY
3:TE IAN THOMAS
4:LB SHAQUEM GRIFFIN

If Buffalo is not willing to given up two 1sts to move from 12th to 5th then I don't see it being worth it for us. At that stage in the draft we'd miss out on the top OL, DB, DL and the top QBs. The NYJ already set a trade bar with 3 - 2nd rounders to move up 3 spots. So what's the cost to move up 7 to get into the top 5....

Was able to get buffalo to trade the 2x 1st and the later 2nd....unrealistic in that i dont believe that D.J. Moore will be there but there was a run on olinemen in the latter 1st. But i stuck to my board as much as possible and it lead me to not picking oline until cappa...thoughts?

As much as I want one of the top three players in this years draft, if we traded back and netted these exact picks.....I would be extremely pleased !!!!!

I like the first 5 positions you chose....prefer an Oliner though, earlier.

I’ll be nauseous if this happens. First two picks aren’t incredible needs. Both would be only playing in subpackages in the first year.

I like the picks, but I hate the trade. I wouldn’t like to drop from 5 to 22 and only get a 2nd and 3rd our of it.
