The spreadsheet did sync up nearly everything. The roster, free agent, and draft prospect sheets should be up-to-date. The team financial sheet did not fully sync up, but all cap spaces should be accurate. I will edit in new contracts at a later date.

I will send team status PMs to the teams that sent in UFA stuff late or idled shortly. All other teams should have previously received a PM or Discord DM that states their current cap space and roster holes they have entering the draft.

Actually looking at the board and who is drafting in the Top 10, maybe getting a DE wasn't such a terrible thing. Not saying all these teams will definitely take a DE but

Redskins at 5 have 2 holes at DE and their DE2 is 66 rated
Giants at 6 have a hole at DE and their DE2 is 75 rated
Browns at 9 have a hole at DE and their DE2 is 73 rated

Okay, so I am a little torn on what to decide. Based on what I read and have received, there is considerably more support for Option A than B. However, I have received only one full strategy and one Day 1 strategy with about 48 hours remaining if going with Option B, which concerns me. I might have to delay my decision until tomorrow when hopefully I have more information to go off of to base a decision.

As a heads up, here would be roughly the start times for each day under both options (give or take an hour):

Option A:
Day 1 - Friday, July 26th at 8 PM ET
Day 2 - Saturday, July 27th at 3 PM ET
Day 3 - Sunday, July 28th at 2 PM ET

Option B:
Day 1 - Sunday, July 28th at 2 PM ET
Day 2 - Monday, July 29th at 1 PM ET
Day 3 - Tuesday, July 30th at 9 PM ET

Ok so I foolishly wrote all this in one go so it starts long and tails off a bit at the end (which it tends to anyway as later picks typically have less obvious holes)

Google Docs version available here - https://docs.google.com/document/d/10LBvIN0IxhAqs2kz_LQpyNBRu12he9vMtJnN-fPT29U/edit?usp=sharing

Shattered's 2016 Mock Draft Extravaganza (where the AI does nothing but reach and reach!)

Pick 1 Patriots - The Patriots could do with starting level talent in a number of positions but the top end of the board isnt all that favorable with their positions of need. In an ideal world there would have been a QB for them to take here but it would be quite a stretch for them to take one here and he might be burned from Keenum. OLB looks a possibility on paper but Luther ONeal was a rookie last season and saw a decent jump in OVR so he could let him continue to develop. CB would make a lot of sense from an OVR viewpoint since the Patriots have a weak secondary but with the way Madden works, throwing in a high end CB into that secondary is likely setting him up to fail without strengthening at SS/FS first.

In all honesty what would make the most sense in my opinion is for Jukkie to trade back. That way he could take multiple swings at new starters or possibly trade for a proven player and a high pick. He could likely still snag a CB or QB in the 10-20 range and also wouldnt be burdened by the lengthy rookie deal a #1 pick gets. Finding a trade partner is probably the difficult part. Maybe a team who really wants Gurley or Rhodes or possibly the top DE off the board?

Of course this mock is done under the assumption of no trades and right now Im going to lean towards CB Xavier Rhodes. This being Jukkie though, I have no confidence in prediction.

Pick 2 Falcons - I was hoping the Falcons would be a bit more straightforward but theres actually quite a few good fits here. They have an obvious need at RT which would make either OT a good choice. Initially I thought OLB might be a good choice but both their starting OLBs are very young so well skip over that. Their starting DT is relatively weak so a stretch down to Sheldon Richardson might make sense to solidify their D-line for like the next decade. They also have an aging HB so the allure of Gurley is a possibility too.

Ill go with the immediate hole and need at RT though and say JuWan Jones.

Pick 3 Titans - The Titans are an interesting one because I dont know anything about their new GM so I am not sure what direction they will go in. They have no QBs on their roster whatsoever but there are QB options available in FA (the funny option is if they pick up Kirby Freeman) and the first QB on the list is still quite far down. They do have holes at DT but Fletcher Cox was a 1st last season and is only 22 so with them running a 3-4 there shouldnt be an immediate need for a DT. They could also potentially draft an OLB replacement for Merriman or make a reach at WR to shore up that position. However, I think their best bet is to take HB Todd Gurley. Despite the talent available in FA and the consensus that HB is a deep position, the position has been aging and theres been less high end HB talent coming out via the draft. Gurley would hopefully give them an elite HB for the next decade. With it being an unknown user, all options are on the board though.

Pick 4 Wildcats - Over the last few seasons the Wildcats have rebuilt fairly well. In previous years they were weak at a lot of positions, particularly on defense, but that is no longer the case. I think in an ideal world they would like CB Xavier Rhodes to still be on the board, which he might be depending on what Jukkie does, but failing that Im not sure they make a reach down the board for the next CB up. Theoretically the Wildcats are a trade candidate to either trade up with Jukkie and get the CB or trade down and get a CB later. Failing that, Im not quite sure what they do here though, especially as they are low on cap room. I think if it were me and trades are out of the equation, then Id draft the best available DE to fill the hole and then look to trade or let the contract run down on Eugene Germany which means they take DE Khalil Mack.

Pick 5 Redskins - This one looks super simple and I dont want to overthink it. The Redskins only have 2 DEs on the roster, the second of which is 66 OVR. There are a ton of DEs on the board so they take the next DE up in Clowney

Pick 6 Jags - In an ideal world the Jags probably hoped that there was a high end FS here to fill in a glaring need but this years draft is horrible for FSes. The Jags still have a really good option though. Their highest rated OLB is coming towards the end of his career at 34 yo and his partner is also 33. Bringing in a high end replacement this year would mean they arent caught out. OLB Preston Smith fits the need.

Pick 7 + 8 Dolphins - The Dolphins have back to back picks here so whilst Ill outline each pick separately, is these end up jumbled I demand full credit! With 14 draft picks (with the next being 11), the Dolphins are going to be able to pick a lot of guys this year and KCF has already noted he will probably be riskier/reachier than usual. That being said, the Dolphins actually have holes where these picks would likely immediately slot in as starters. After losing yet another O-lineman to RFA, they have a starting berth available at OT (although they have 2 people who could potentially slot in too) so for Pick 7 OT Jack Conklin makes sense. The next start hole they have available is at WR2 and KCF cares little about reaching down the board to grab his guy (which may not even be a reach at this point). Im pencilling him in with the best available WR at Pick 8 with WR Beckham Jr but I wouldnt be surprised if he took a different WR due to their attributes as we all know KCF cares about fit.

Pick 9 Browns - There are actually a ton of options for the Browns here at 9 and I think they would really love it if they had multiple picks here. The Browns have what looks to be a fairly shaky defensive line. They have holes at DE, DT and OLB with a potentially questionable aging starter at DT and OLB and a basically non-existent starter at DE. Filling in any of those positions would help to improve their defense and theres options at all 3 on the board. Their biggest need looks to be DE so Im putting them as taking Olivier Vernon.

As a sidenote, if they didnt have those issues at defensive line I wonder just how happy they are with former superbowl winning QB Perrilloux. They have him tied down for 3 more years but he threw 26 INTs last season and speaking from experience that gives you serious questions about your QB. Im sure they would love to address that here but realistically it isnt an option.

Pick 10 Steelers - Hooray a pick where I dont have to look up the roster and financials. This will be the first time the Steelers have picked in the first round in 3 seasons. The Steelers originally traded up with the hope of drafting a DE but then addressed that in a trade but that doesnt mean they wont still take one here (which is tempting with Ohio States Bosa on the board). Outside of DE, they have an immediate starting need at the DT/MLB tandem. The Steelers play 3-4 and theres no MLB on the board but that doesnt mean they dont have a choice. Starting OLB Tufts is a converted MLB so they could potentially draft BPA in OLB Aaron Lynch and play Tufts at MLB to maintain 3-4. DT Sheldon Richardson is just behind him and whilst that would require a switch to 4-3, they were successful in running 4-3 towards the latter end of the 2014 season after an injury at MLB. DT Sheldon Richardson is the more likely option with Tufts current OVR at MLB being an unknown (he got a large jump going from MLB to OLB)

Only last season the Steelers would have probably been a surefire bet to grab a WR here but despite an aging WR corps, they are relatively locked in contract wise and have a scrambling QB.

Pick 11 Dolphins - Sam Keller is an elite QB who is going to be due a ton of money soon on a roster that traditionally has cap issues. This would be a more interesting narrative if only KCF actually ever drafted QBs. So moving past that, lets look at other potential fits. The Dolphins still have another hole at WR to fill and they could get a high end talent draft pick to fill in that role. However KCF has also stated he likes to have a revolving door of WR3s and that would potentially leave them in a bad financial way 2-3 years down the line (but high end WRs will always be movable). Ok so next up, the Dolphins starting OLBs are both 34 so only have 1-2 seasons left and dont have an obvious next in line so grabbing someone here makes sense even if they did just trade away an OLB. The Dolphins could also potentially make a large reach at MLB and let him try grab the starting berth from Worrilow because KCF cares little from your draft board state! Ill take the safe option and say he takes OLB Aaron Lynch. Honestly thinking about it, he probably takes the OLB at 7 or 8 and the WR here. I may revise this pre-draft as it could also depend on contract lengths (I think Top 10 get longer deals? I forget the specifics). With 3 picks so close together we need some sort of partial credit system here!

Pick 12 Pumpkins - I am assuming the Pumpkins play 3-4 given the age of their MLBs and ratings. If they didnt a DT might be an option here, it may still be an option given the age of their starting DT and the hole at the position. They also have a hole at WR where the pick would definitely see playing time and there should be a couple on the board here. I dont think I see any other positions that jump out at me, at least not with a high 1st. So with DTs projected to be available in the second, lets go with WR Jarvis Landry

Pick 13 Hawks
- Ah beautiful AI picks with your lack of financial and age information meaning I dont have to look as deep. With a potential starting hole at DT and a definite starting hole at OLB Ill narrow it down to those 2 positions and go with the greater starting need in OLB ZaDarius Smith which may or may not be a slight reach but who cares.

Pick 14 Packers - Similar to the Browns, I think the Packers would love to have multiple swings here. They have holes at WR where a pick here would likely become their WR1 or 2 alongside Keenan Allen who they took in the 1st last season. Their OLB pair isnt great and an OLB here would probably become a starter too even if its a little bit down the board. They also have an immediate need at DE to pair with their star Everson Griffin. Im torn. On one hand my gut is saying taking a WR here is more likely. On the other hand my head is telling me with a scrambling QB on a run heavy team they would be far better off taking best player available Demarcus Lawrence. Lets go with Lawrence as Snead should theoretically be quite a distance below Lawrence on the board.

Pick 15 Lions - I think given the board state the obvious need here for the Lions is DE Joey Bosa. Their other areas of improvement arent anywhere near the board here and their cap situation probably prevents them from taking something like a DT or CB although they do have plenty of cuttable pieces. Bosa makes too much sense for me to dig deeper though.

Pick 16 Bengals - For all the talking of QB reaches earlier none are taken until now. Bengals dont have an obvious starter and QB Paxton Lynch is there for them to snap up at 16. The AI being the AI, I wouldnt be surprised if they go OLB or CB here though.

Pick 17 Broncos - QB AJ McCarron was taken in the 1st last season so despite it not looking like they have a star QB starter, I cant see them taking one here. The Broncos arent great at CB so thats an option. G is also potentially an option as I have no idea how old they are at the position. I do know that their WR1 is old and declining to WR could be a third option.

Although looking at it, I now see a potential wildcard 4th option. I believe the spreadsheet is incorrect in some way and the Broncos dont have a starting C. Their starting C is listed on the free agents sheet so maybe the wrong C got deleted in error or maybe Mack wasnt deleted in error. I do know looking at previous draft, the AI doesnt mind down a round reaching for a starter. So im going to go with an out there prediction and say they take C Ryan Kelly.

Pick 18 Giants - The Giants really need a starting caliber DE. Unfortunately for the Giants they are pretty far down the board and a lot of DEs have been taken. They could potentially move up to get one of those high end DEs but there is actually still an option for them at DE here in Malik Jackson. If they do want to move up, they have quite a few potential partners. If the Dolphins could trade they would make sense but they cant, the Steelers and Pumpkins can possibly still get their guy or a similar guy at 18. Or maybe despite me penciling them in for a DE, the Browns or Packers may not mind moving down and getting a theoretically lesser DE in order to move up elsewhere. The Giants can still get a DE here though so they dont necessarily have to move up. On the bright side, the Giants have a good track record with drafted DE's in Loren Howard

Pick 19 Bills - This is another one where previous information gives me doubt. On paper the Bills should take DT Dontari Poe as he becomes an immediate starter for them. Either Poe or potentially an OT who again would likely be an immediate starter. However, the Bills have been trying to find a WR via trade this offseason so with Snead potentially on the board I have to pause and think about if they take a swing on a WR who is likely in the 79-82 range. Ill pay it safe and say they take DT Poe as they dont actually need a WR, they just want one.

Pick 20 Jets - Im sure the Jets would have loved for a DE to be here (as much as an AI can love it anyway) but they should theoretically be all gone by this point. They could dip into the pool of second round DEs though. Another option is QB. I remember KCF saying Glennon had shown promise and he isnt that far removed from being drafted though. Hmm, decisions. Lets go with QB Mettenberger

Pick 21 Bucs - A couple of options here for the depleted Bucs. They need a starting G and Laurent cut off second name should be here. They also have holes at CB with Peters and Darby likely on the board. Lastly there should be a couple of OLBs available too which would become immediate starters. With this probably being KCF picking on behalf of Chris Im going to say G Laurent Duvernay as I know how KCF feels about CBs and the G is higher on the board (with Gs and OLBs being available later in the draft)

Pick 22 Rams - The Rams are a solid all around team and the only place I see where a pick would become a clear starter is at G. Its not that far for them to grab G Ali Marpet from 22. CB is another potential option.

Pick 23 Ravens - Apparently the Ravens currently have zero interior protection for their QB. They have no Cs on the roster and their only Gs are 77/78. Well that is at least promising for me as the Steelers have good defense! Ok so the Ravens become the third AI team I have dipping into the 2nd round picks to get their player. Question is whether they go C or G. Hmm, lets say C Joe Looney. One of these predictions has to pay off at some point!

Pick 24 Pioneers - Whilst the Pioneers are still harboring their 53 OVR CB on their roster, they do actually have a hole here and CBs on the board. Another option for them is a DT who would likely be a starter as their DT2 and they do have a hole at the position. Id have to double check but I feel fairly certain in last seasons (or maybe the season before) predictions they were weak at both of these positions but had like 6 CBs and 4-5 DTs which deterred me from picking those guys. Ok out of the 2 it may be a case of best player available so Ill take the 50/50 shot at DT Brandon Williams

Pick 25 Panthers - With money tight the Panthers need to make this pick count and likely need to stick to physical holes which narrows it down to OT, OLB and HB. Granted cuts could always be made if Emerald wanted to take a swing at a QB of the future or something like that as we all know he isnt happy with Ryan so Jake Locker could potentially fit the bill. Looking at actual holes though theres a few OT and OLBs on the board and Im going to ignore HBs. The OTs are higher up the board and and the Panthers took an OLB in the 1st last season. So Im going to say OT Taylor Decker

Pick 26 Bears - This seems like an incredibly lucky and unlikely scenario, Have the Bears managed to find a 1st round rated WR at the end of the 1st round when in all previous years WRs fly off the board? According to my predictions they have and if WR Snead is there then they surely take him. Let me look at the rest of their roster. Ok so QB Jake Locker is another potential option as is a CB. I think if Snead is there they take him. If not they take a flyer on Jake Locker (but theres probably a QB at their 2nd round pick if they really want one).

Pick 27 Pioneers - Originally I started writing this up about the Colts and boy did the Colts get really good really quick (even if it was a gradual build up, they dont seem that far removed from being a pushover). Ok so this pick is actually owned by the Pioneers courtesy of presumably KCF RFA work. Oh right, the last pick I said 50/50 shot and went with a DT. So for this pick we will go with the other side of that coin flip and say the best available CB which is probably errr Marcus Peters? Sure, sounds about right.

Pick 28 Vikings - This is another team who seems to be very solid across the board (if unspectacular?). The problem with that is that predicting without knowing financials/ages becomes difficult. Im feeling CB or HB because their CB group isnt great and Courney Lewis has to be up there in age. With zero confidence Ill say CB Darby

Pick 29 Raiders - Man, I could almost copy/paste the Raiders write up. Although I do see a potential hole at DT/MLB. I dont know whether they run 3-4 or 4-3, I think they may be one of the few who run 3-4? Ack, that is vital information. I think they go with whichever one of those holes they need to start and I dont know why I think its 3-4 but lets say MLB Kyle Emmanuel

Pick 30 Seahawks - If Jablax actually turns up to pick then this could be anything. Ill run under the assumption that he wont and KCF is picking for him. Levi Jones is old, like super old and since they idled FA and let an OT walk, they need a replacement. KCF also likes O-line depth anything so OT Rob Havenstein would make sense here. Actually I think Jablax goes the same route if he turns up.

Pick 31 Cowboys - Somehow the Cowboys were able to let that much talent walk and still look that good, yikes. Well at least they arent as good as they were prior to FA signings. Anyway, with the board looking how it does CB Aaron Colvin fits into a hole and would actually get starting time.

Pick 32 Chiefs - Ok so to finish up my misery of doing all these write-ups in 1 sitting we have the Chiefs! Last season they got the #1 pick and this season they get the final pick of the round (via the Dolphins). Unlike the other teams towards the tail end of the round, the Chiefs actually have a few holes where a 1st rounder is going to walk straight into playing time. They have 2 holes at CB and if they take one here, that CB probably becomes their highest rated CB. They also completely lack a starting caliber MLB which would require dipping into round 2 talent but would still be an upgrade over what they have. At the other end of that tandem a DT would also probably be a starter with their DT2 being 36yo and only 78 rated. The Chiefs do get another pick not far off into the future in the early second round so maybe they try to be board smart here and see how they get the best combination of these positions. MLB looks the sparsest of those positions and with a DT or CB likely available with their next pick Ill say Vontaze Burfict rounds out the first round

After considering the information I was seeking (aka receiving draft strats/queues/conditionals) and gauging the overall feelings from the league, we are moving forward with Option A. The draft begins tomorrow.

My mock for everyone's viewing pleasure. Unlike in years past I think the beginning of this round is very fuzzy and it reflects in what picks Shattered and I came up with...though strangely we agreed on our Dolphins picks!

The funny thing is and KCF can be my witness, you both mocked me way off. I understand thats what a mock is but I am a wildcard, you may not remember my Pumpkins drafting days.

Haha can't wait to see it! It's just a fun exercise I started doing after repeatedly drafting in the Top 10 and wanted to see who I thought would fall to me. It was a lot of fun so I just ended up doing the whole round and now I do it every year!

He can leave it up. No one should trust anything a GM says leading up to a draft

I can't find our combined mock for last season, I remember we were all pretty accurate for the first 6-10 picks or so and then it went more awry

I did find our 2014 mock which was a total shitshow though (EDIT: 2015 is same sheet different tab) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dMYwnlf6qpfbc7IOKh2VXjycCJ_DIRL2Zwvb8Mco_TU/edit#gid=0

I know that last year was a really good year for me prediction wise. This year feels more of a crapshoot because it's easy for 1 early domino to mess up a lot of other stuff and I don't think that was the case last season, I don't think there was as much overlap

I think the one neat thing is I got the guy two of you mocked for me that year with my second pick

Yeah I want to say it was a guard of some sort? I could easily find my own mock draft from that year just not the 3 combined ones and actual result

EDIT: Oh I see now, stupid me. 2015 is on that same sheet just a different tab

Just so you can see how inaccurate we are. Giving 1 point for a completely correct pick and 0.5 points for right position, wrong player.

Shattered - 19 points (25 out of 64 correct in some fashion)
Stan - 13 points (18 of 64 correct in some fashion)
Emerald - 12 points (16 of 64 correct in some fashion)

So beating us by picking someone we didn't predict isn't exactly difficult. We are wrong faaaaaaaar more often than we are right. Typically once it goes past pick 10 or so, we have atrocious accuracy

Sent in an early rounds draft strategy. I'll try to make it tomorrow, but can't guarantee it.
