Well, a nice trade got me back into 3rd round and reduced some cruft picks from the equation.

With that in mind, will my safer option overlooked earlier still be around?

NOOOOOOOOOO - Carolina just picked a G I'd convert to RT the pick before my new one.

It's amazing how little things change your plans. So with that, reach for a pacy CB..

Well, later rounds so all my targets get nicked a pick or so before me, but hey ho...

And now I seem to be saved as auto-picks kick in or something...

I'm tired... but coding... need sleep.

So I'll draft a TE to use as a hybrid FB and then a punter.

And into the crapshoot rounds... who will be Mr Irrelevant? Well, in my experience, all my picks 6th round onwards...

Completed draft

1.19 MLB John "Mutt" Lange
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15682

Highly volatile beast LB, hopefully a leader. Higher volatility than I'd look for in the first round usually, but the potential reward outweighs the risk in this case.

2.12 RDE Daniel "The missing Beach Boy" Wilson
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15678

Generated as a DT, figure his attributes make him a better DE. May switch to left at some point, see how camp goes.

2.13 DT Coy "Humble" Foster
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15877

Needs in a number of other places, but this RDE looks a decent run stuffing DT.

3.17 DT Jean "Genie" Thomas/
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15705

Vol guarantees he'll either be a good player or a doofus. Hmm'd and ahh'd about the acc and speed but tackling,. pass rush and run defence all seem a good base for him to work from. Looking to get more D line production, especially in rotation, so we'll see what happens - if he booms, makes me feel happy about accepting a cap hit on Tiernan's contract.

3.22 CB "Father" Theodore Quinones
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15643

Not an area of immediate need, but his speed should be very useful even if just as a ST contributor. Could well be a CB #4 or 5, cover SS and FS too.

4.15 QB Eugene "King of" DeLeon
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15650

Why draft a god awful QB with pass accuracy of 35? Because he's quick, has good ball carrying and can break tackles...

All hail RB Eugene "King of" DeLeon! Shame his kick catching is well non-existent but may try him returning during pre-season.

4.20 WLB Dennis "The Menacing Rick" Shaw
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15621

Pacy depth at WLB, a weak area for me; if it doesn't pan out, maybe could become a depth DB so a bit of verstility here.

4.29 TE Donald "Duck" Delacruz
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15772

Not great receiving stats, but envisage more as a TE / FB hybrid with a firm focus on blocking.

4.31 P Christopher "Big" Boyd
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15603

BOOM! Both what he'll hopefully do plus the sound as he kicks the pigskin.

6.13 RT Allen "Ah did not have sexual relations" Clinton
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15591

Low vol means any boom won't elevate beyond ST / possible depth but time will tell. A sensible kinda 6th pick.

6.22 SS Josh "Kill" Gill
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15741

If he booms, maybe a backup, ST contributor.

7.22 FS Scott "Chickin" Hicklin
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15796

Elite speed so worth a punt with that volatility; see that happens after training camp.

7.21 WR David "Speedy Trav" Travis
https://nfl.myfootballnow.com/player/15856

Not really looking for a WR but holy ****, speed, decent ball carrying, kick catching. Ok, breaking tackles not great, but give him a shot returning kick pre-season and let's see what happens.

Is "Jets" in the swear word filter?

If not, it should be.
