I assume cards are going to take Simpson, so I made deals thinking he’d be there in top of 2nd rd. Alas, Cleveland took him at 24, so I went crazy:

In this one I set the draft AI to put the highest priority on position premium (10/10)and team need (8/10)

Jets took Simpy at 33 again.

I drafted Fano and Iheanachor. I’m moving Fano to Guard with Iheanachor at RT.

Put defensive priority on Edge and Safety.

Price fell furthest in this setting than any other and had to take him. I followed this move up with the best blocking TE in the draft this way our RBs and Beck are well covered.

Barion Brown will be KR and WR 5.

The NFL changed the rules for this year’s draft, limiting teams to eight minutes between first-round picks. Some NFL general managers are not happy about that.

Steelers GM Omar Khan said he preferred the old rule of 10 minutes between first-round picks.

“I’d love to have 10 minutes, but it’s the same for everybody else,” Khan said. “Eight minutes is what it is, but those two minutes, it feels like an eternity sometimes.”

This was just a fun exercise. You'll notice the pattern. I had to trade if I didn't find one nearby the ranked players at that area.

Ok, I lied. Here’s another one: I was required to accept every proposed 1st rd trade offer as is… :D

ere working under and the fact the AI running the mock obviously took advantage of those terms...seems to me you did really well.
Miller, McDonald, Jadarian Price...all worthy players.
You got Beck in a good spot...I dont think he will last that long IRL...
overall you got guys who will contribute as rookies,...and some dudes with undeveloped talent who could turn into some really solid additions to the roster.
Nice work brother.

I had a go, took the risk to take the OT and then back up for Simpson. I would be extremely happy with this one…

Here's my last mock and I think this may be closer to reality than the Simpson talk.
