On The Clock: 2017 RCF NFL Mock Draft

[Randolphkeys]

So far I've got @Lord Mar @sportscoach @Amherstcavsfan @SuperSurge @thedarkness2332 @Phills14 @The Wizard of Moz

I'll also do everyone in the A range because if you can't take positive feedback, screw off.

I won the draft, Mel Kiper even offered to have McShay suck me off.

I know i had a dissaster of a draft, so for shits and giggles, a good ripping apart of a franchise would make for good reading.

Help yourself to a Kanasas City write up and DONT HOLD BACK! I need this feedback if I ever want to seriously attempt to apply and interview for a GM position in the NFL.

Thanks!!!

 

[Stitches]

I am at work and ready to make my (last) pick.

I'd actually like to keep going, although I'd only have a pick in the 7th.

It's been 23.5 hours. Come on @Soda pop.

 

[Soda]

My bad everyone; I'm traveling again.

With the 183rd pick in the 2017 RCF NFL Mock Draft,

The New England Patriots select...

Matthew Dayes, RB, NC State

@Stitches is on the clock to end the round.​

With the last pick of the 5th rd of the 2017 RCF Mock Draft, the Miami Dolphins are proud to select...

Delano Hill, FS, Michigan!!



Not nearly as heralded as his counterpart, Jabrill Peppers, but Hill is a good player in his own right (this seems to be an excellent Safety class, so in other years he might be rated higher). He has 26 starts at S and accumulated 119 tackles, seven tackles for loss, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, three interceptions, and eight pass breakups during his 44 game career at Michigan. Hill also possesses enough athletic talent for a safety at a solid 6'1" and 216 lbs to not appear to be a liability in most situations; at the combine he tested out with a 4.47 40-yd dash, 17 reps of 225, among other solid times.

While you never choose someone at this point of the draft anticipating them to start early, we do have a high opinion of Hill and would not be surprised to see him work is way into the lineup next to Pro-Bowler Reshad Jones at some point in his rookie season.

Good pick snitchesget.

 

[Snowblind]

Sign me up for the draft grade.

 

[Randolphkeys]

I have draft grades just about done for the A rangers and those who requested a grade... Last chance to request grades, then I'll post the Kinkless Kiper article by the end of today.

Traveling from mom's basement to the kitchen does not count as traveling.

 

[sportscoach]

Well we are all awaiting!

Grading the Draft

By Randolphkeys

The annual RCF mock draft reached many new heights in 2017. Rarely has the draft achieved five rounds. Rarely has participation remained so consistent throughout the draft. Rarely has a franchise embarrassed themselves as thuroughly as the Jets.

Special recognition for @AZ_ and @Soda for taking more than one team. It's hard drafting for a couple teams and sleepers get spread thin. It also allowed the whole draft to start earlier. So the demand for immediate grades shall be filled, as consistently misguided as this trend might prove in real life. Let's trim our fingernails and start digging.

Chicago: A
The winner of this draft was the Chicago Bears. This would be a franchise changer, thinking outside of the box to secure Devante Adams and perks essentially for Leonard Floyd. This draft was rich in edge rush, and they filled the gap in pass rush handily with Allen and Williams in the first and second rounds. Value per pick remained consistently high throughout the draft, Wilson and Mixon standing out as great picks, all needs were filled.

Bengals: A-
Leading the second group of A- range franchises is the Bengals. This draft has potential to stand out for the history books because they flipped a backup quarterback in McCarron for an inflated value, gaining draft position and nabbing a Pro Bowl front seven player in Richardson. Standout picks included Dorian Johnson at a position of huge need, Moss as edge pressure from a smaller school, and for some reason I just loved the Legatron pick for value. They miss an A because the Bengals need more offensive line depth than just one guard in this draft.

Bills: A-
Buffalo does what it knows, whether that be a killer garlicky hot sauce on fried chicken wings or consistent quality lagers. Here we see a draft with much the same consistency, filling needs with great value. Loved the Lattimore, Brantley, Ford, and Johnson picks for value at their spots. I'm not sure Everett was the best need fit and I bet they could stand a backup QB in the sixth round, but this is a draft to be proud of.

B range coming in the next post... After the kids go to bed.

The RCF Mock Draft Continued...

Let's continue with the largest group, the teams who requested a grade and scored in the B range. This measurement in my mind means the team is reaching fans expectations without pulling a rabbit out of a hat. Teams got dinged for reaching on a player, ignoring a team need entirely, or doing something boneheaded.

Titans: B+
What a start for the Titans in this draft. I loved the Jamal Adams and Williams picks to kick everything off and... get ready for it... I thought initially they won the trade with the Browns. When they grabbed Montravius Adams to replaced that defensive end nobody gives a shit about who would be a Brown now, it looked like an A draft. The rest of the draft fell flat, we learned that the Browns and Titans screwed up the details of the trade like amateurs, and really didn't address the corner issue. No, Brian Allen doesn't address the corner issue.

Dolphins: B+
First, I have to acknowledge that some teams were set up with a better stable of picks than others. It took some real finessing for some teams to trade around and add assets. Dolphins took what came to them and filled most of their needs. Cunningham, Walker, Isadora, and Collins - assuming he gets a shot at right guard - were all great values and fits. In the perfect world, the Dolphins find a way to grab another impact defensive lineman and starting cornerback... but the Phins were a little outgunned.

Ravens: B+
There were times I didn't like what Ozzie had up his sleeve. OJ is a great value where he was selected, but the team needed receiving threats outside and I don't know if Dupre later cuts it. Then I looked back at other needs, and the Ravens nailed most of them. Adoree, Basham, and Sharpe were great picks. Cohen was a reach with good backs out there, but the Ravens surprised.

Cardinals: B+
Rounding out the B+ group is the Phoenix Cardinals, who somehow made it through the past 15 months not switching cities. Look who is settling down, old boys. Proud of you. For the draft, I really liked the Hooker pick, they held check with value on Tabor, Wheeler, and Holliday. Then to push the draft into the bonus round, Cardinals grabbed Phillips two rounds after when he will likely get drafted in real life, unless there's a report on Wild Man getting leprosy that I missed. No idea why he slid so much, he's solid.

Lions: B
Boarder line B+ here, I thought Reddick, Taywon Taylor, and Reynolds were great picks. Smoot might be a reach, Walker and Harris are just on the line for value. I think the real Lions will focus more on offensive line, but a dome team taking fast players is a safe philosophy.

Jaguars: B
Such great heights, such splash in that upper deck bakini pool. Still, there's times Ginger Snaps with the big teeth is left shaking his head. Let's start with the big trade for Trubisky. Seemed like a slam dunk, but Jaguars brass traded for a pick Jigo already traded away. Jags then had to move back a round in public. If you trade with Jigo, maybe do some fact checks? Loved Fournette, checked boxes with Engram, Darboh, and Lee. Defensive end and O-line needs went unaddressed when the Kaaya reach went down.

Steelers: B
The new guy had six or seven franchises talking shit at all times, and their front office still checked enough boxes to reach Pittsburgh lofty expectations. Loved the Ryan Anderson and James Conner picks, checked the boxes with appropriate picks in Lawson and Cole. The defensive back philosophy here drove me nuts. Artie Burns isn't that big or physical, but he should start at one corner after a good rookie year. So why an undersized and relatively slow free safety so high? Why grab yet another nickel corner in Sutton? It's the lolipop guild back there for the Steel Curtain, and it flies in the face of their press zone scheme.

The B- and C group are next... Sweat it out waiting to find out where you fell I guess. Just remember Blake Bortles is still available. It's a long way until the preseason.

I just finished hiding plastic Easter eggs in the back yard for my kids to find in the morning in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. When I awake, I may also learn the racoons feasted on all the succulent candies within the eggs in the night as we sleep, crushing their preconceptions of good and evil. My boys are in a critical evening in their understanding of the duality of man. Let's talk mock drafts!

Raiders: B-
What do we do? How do we phrase this? Where do you even play in 2017? So the front office drafted a guy in the first round who blew out his Achilles a week or two prior. That's usually a job killer. We gave their front office a Mulligan, but owner Mark Davis was forced to shave his bowl cut into a mohawk. Everyone wins, but hard to give out a high draft grade afterward. Ross had value, question the fit. Jaleel Johnson checked a box, then they went on a tear grabbing Marlon Mack and Qualls late in great values. Still need linebacker help, but great recovery.

Packers: B-
This franchise just lost some key front office personnel in the offseason, and maybe the brain drain cost the Packers in planning this draft out. Leonard Floyd's impact on the defense and pass rush will be the biggest factor in the grade going up or down by the end of the season. I probably would have stuck with supply and demand to fix the edge rush in a great edge rush draft. Cooper Kupp was a great draft value according to the draft experts, I wonder if he can get separation in the NFL. Johnson and Malone were great value picks, Wilson and Banner don't impress me yet, but a lot can change in the offseason.

Giants: B-
Just a meh draft, no offense meant. Giants needed defensive line help, linebackers and a tight end upgrade. This draft was rich in all three positions. They got Cam Robinson, McMillan a bit too high, Ogunjobi, Gallman, and Morgan. The high point was a value three tech defensive tackle in Ogunjobi, but one linebacker and no tight end in the best tight end draft ever. Meh.

Chiefs: C
Here's the good news: Peterman was a great fit and value at quarterback where he was drafted. Nailed that one! Harris and Tankersley held check with just about where they should go, then the Chiefs started reaching like an Indiana Jones movie where he gets in a race against Nazis and almost falls off a cliff for a few minutes. Reaching on Liedner after just getting a value backup QB in Peterman might have been a fireable offense in real life.

That's it, anal-ized. Hope you relaxed eventually after initially feeling a little tight... Maybe even enjoyed it a little at the end and started thrusting back.
