I always liked doing this. Remember year or two ago I kept trading every chance I got had like 40-50 picks all from like 4th round back. LOL
 
Disclaimer: I looked up scouting reports after I did the draft.

Your score is: 8314 (GRADE: A)

Round 1 Pick 29 (CINN): Jack Conklin, OT, Michigan State (A-)
*We need to get better/healthier up front. If a rookie LT can push Bakhtiari, good.
Round 2 Pick 29 (CINN): Michael Thomas, WR, Ohio State (A+)
*Scouting report isn't what we need (not a deep threat, good athletic route runner, and we're already supposed to have some of those) but I saw a WR with a rd 1 grade at end of rd 2 and figured it couldn't work. If he can get open, great.

Round 2 Pick 30 (N.E.): Jonathan Allen, DE/DT, Alabama (A)
*He's supposed to have good, low pad level, so MM will be happy. A penetrator, should be a good rush DE, at 6'-3" 280 lbs. We'll probably have a few spots to fill here.

Round 3 Pick 27: Deion Jones, OLB, LSU (A+)
*These guys say I took Jones a round too early. He's supposed to be quick, decent in coverage, and would probably play ILB in our system.

Round 3 Pick 30 (N.E.): O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama (A-)
*6'6" 240 lbs, fast enough to create mismatches with LBs, but not utilized much at Alabama (33 rec for 394 yrds, no TDs (and did 11 for 149 yds in the first 3 games)) but the TEs need someone desperately who has some sort of skill set besides good hands.

Round 4 Pick 27: Sheldon Day, DT, Notre Dame (A+)
*Another guy who would play DE in our system, figuring with Raji and some of the other guys already here we're set at the nose.

Round 5 Pick 25: Ricky Seals-Jones, WR, Texas A&M (A+)
*Underwhelming stats for a guy in that offensive system (45 rec for 560 yds and 4 TDs, similar stats the year before), but at 6'5", 235 lbs, speed, some character issues (decommitted from Texas, doesn't quite keep his mouth shut on Twitter, threw a legal block on an Auburn DB that got that guy carted off, tossed for targeting a few times) he might just be the kind of guy who brings back some juice in the WR group. He was projected to be a 2nd round pick the year before (he's a redshirt sophomore), but didn't quite live up to expectations and wasn't as effective as he should have been. 5th round though, can't complain.

Round 6 Pick 27: Antonio Morrison, ILB, Florida (A+)
*Has an injury history, but is/has been the leader of the Florida defense the last two years. His weakness is listed as "Too intense at times" and there are concerns about this knee injury he picked up in 2014 bowl game. But racked up 100 tackles for the Gators this year, and was 2nd team All-SEC. Works for me.

Round 7 Pick 27: Byron Marshall, WR/RB, Oregon (B)
*Season ending lower body injury in September, but is 5'10" and fast. We could use some more speed on offense.
 
Not to pile on since I will surely do the same thing when I start mocking over the weekend, but at WR I want one quality guy, not quantity. Have no problem though with the 7th Rd addition especially if you view him as a possible 3rd down back. We could use someone with speed at RB that can be used as a receiving threat.

If you add a WR with the speed/ability to play outside as the #2 next year it leaves Cobb as the #3/slot guy and drops Adams, Monty, Abby in the 4 and 5 slots. Those last 3 are capable of being effective in those roles. Of course they will need to figure out the whole coaching situation to get someone in the face of those young guys to make them better. There just wasn't much progress this year.
