    I can half-ass the Titans, I at least know what team needs are and there are plenty of sites with player rankings. This'll give me an excuse to get on here and actually post more often.

    1. : (Trade with Arizona for 4th and 27th overall picks and a 2020 3rd Rounder) Kyler Murray, QB, Oklahoma Gruden gets his grinder! Screw Derek Carr, let’s take the midget who’d rather play baseball and interviewed poorly. This is just such a classic Gruden move that I’d be surprised if anything less happened. 2. : Nick Bosa, DE, Ohio State Well Arizona is certainly going to regret trading down, Bosa provides an excellent rusher for the 49ers who need talented players across the board. Don’t be surprised if the 49ers look to trade down here if they like another DLine prospect, but I don’t think they catch the Cardinals or Jets for enough gas. 3. : Josh Allen, DE, Kentucky The Jets nab a pass rusher, the best friend of a young QB is a strong defense. Allen will help make sure they can get off the field on 3rd down, and maybe give them a slight hope at beating the Patriots once this season. 4. (From OAK): Rashan Gary, DL, Michigan Gary provides some great talent on the DLine for a team that really lacks it. They’ve got Chandler Jones and nothing else. Gary provides a real threat and they’re hoping the trade down pans out for them. 5. : Greedy Williams, CB, LSU This is to make up for not getting Minkah when they had the chance. Not that it’ll work out for them, but that’s just Bucs football for you. 6. : Jonah Williams, OT, Alabama Turns out the Giants don’t like any QB in this draft class enough to take them at 6. They’re gonna continue beefing up their offensive line, and run this offense through Saquon Barkley. They might put Williams at RT to start, or just switch Solder there, but either way he improves a much maligned OLine greatly. 7. : Quinnen Williams, DT, Alabama Why does it feel like Alabama just has all the prospects every year? College football is a fucking joke. In any case Williams falls a little, but the Jags are probably going to dump Malik Jackson so he makes a good replacement there. Nick Foles will almost certainly be the QB there. 8. : Devin White, LB, LSU Monkey See, Monkey Do. The Lions saw what the Bears did with Roquan Smith and decided they wanted a piece of that. White looks like a can’t miss prospect, but I’d eat that with a side of Aaron Curry. 9. (Trade with Buffalo. 15 and 46 for 9 and 182): Drew Lock, QB, Mizzou Washington gets their QB to replace Alex Smith after his tremendous injury. Nick Foles wasn’t going there, so they get their highest guy on the board. They need to jump the Broncos for the pick, since Elway loves him some shitty QB’s. 10. : Byron Murphy, CB, Washington Failing to get his guy, the Broncos elect to go with BPA rather than reach for a guy after signing another's teams trash at the QB position. They didn’t want to do it for Allen or Rosen, I doubt they’d want to do it for Haskins or Daniel Jones. Murphy helps a weakened secondary start to get its legs back while Elway rolls with Flacco. 11. : Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio State New Coach, new QB in Cincy. They may not have a defensive coordinator, but who cares? The Dalton era is done, and he’ll be finding a new home in 2019. Where will that home be exactly? I’ve got a few ideas… 12. : Noah Fant, TE, Iowa Fuck it, let’s go wild. Rodgers needs weapons and this year reeks of a Packers last gasp effort for relevance. Fant will immediately provide a legitimate tight end for the Bucks owner to throw to, and with them trading for Antonio Brown (44 this year, a second next year), they have all the weapons Rodgers could possibly need. 13. : Clelin Ferrell, DE, Clemson The Dolphins are gonna tank for Tua 2020, so rather than take a chance on Daniel Jones or some other QB, they grab a strong pass rusher to replace Robert Quinn, and try to build the roster for the right time to shine. 14. : Ed Oliver, DT Houston The Falcons continue to bolster their defense so they can actually not get outpaced by the high flying offenses in their division. I certainly expect Oliver to fall well out of the top 5 and land somewhere in the mid teens, early twenties. 15. : Montez Sweat, DL, Miss State The Bills want to get faster on defense, and while getting another piece for the offense would have been nice, it’s just not in the cards for this draft class. Sweat is a physical specimen and gives the Bills more threats on defense that they desperately need if they want to see the postseason again in Blot’s lifetime. 16.: Deionte Thompson, S, Alabama Insurance in case they start getting real sick of Eric Reid. Because hey, you never know. 17. (Trade with CLE, 17 for 26 and 90): DeAndre Baker, CB, Georgia The Colts got fleeced by the Patrick Mahomes show in the postseason last year, and need to commit to dealing with that. Secondary woes have always been a problem in Indy, but adding a top flight corner in Baker should help to alleviate those woes. They’ve also been linked to Landon Collins in free agency, so that should give their secondary a major boost. 18. : Christian Wilkins, DT, Clemson The Vikings need to get their edge back, so a guy like Wilkins should be the perfect fit for them. He’s big, versatile, and relentless. He’ll pair well with Linval Joseph, and keep Everson and Hunter free to pursue the QB. Or at least, that’s the plan. 19. : A.J Brown, WR, Ole Miss The Titans need another receiver to keep the heat off Corey Davis, who really developed into a threat this past season. If Davis is splitting them open, Brown is reaping the benefits of a spread out defense with his hands and YAC potential. 20. : Josh Jacobs, RB, Alabama The Steelers don’t typically do a rotational back thing, but with all the issues they had with Bell, they have to realize that they need two backs in this league. Bell won’t play another down for them again, Antonio Brown is getting traded away (in this mock) and almost certainly won’t play for them again, so they need some offensive weapons as they transition out of the Big Ben era. 21. : (From SEA, 21 for 29 and 63): Jachai Polite, OLB, Florida The chiefs nail their Justin Houston replacement with a big trade up. The Seahawks seem incredibly averse to drafting early in the first round, if at all, so they trade down and continue to build resources. Polite provides an excellent rusher for a Chiefs team who needs a lot of defensive help. Patrick Mahomes scores 26 points a game, you should almost never lose with that kind of offensive production. 22. (From BAL, 22 and 86 for 27 and 65): Jawann Taylor, LT, Florida The Cardinals offensive line was abysmal. If they’re going to commit to Josh Rosen, they need to protect him. We always see one or two really good prospects fall this far, and usually one of the better teams scoops them up, so honestly I think the chances of the Cardinals seeing this line is nearly nonexistent, but fuck it, my mock, my rules. 23. : Andre Dillard, LT, Washington State DeShaun Watson got sacked 62 times last season, if the Texans want to make noise in the AFC, they need to protect their QB. Anything but an offensive lineman at this pick is probably a mistake, unless a guy like Nick Bosa fell to them for some ungodly reason. 24. (From CHI): D.K. Metcalf, WR, Ole Miss Now that they’ve got their QB of the future, it’s time to get him some weapons. Metcalf is a classic height weight speed Raiduhs pickup. And he’s gonna be a classic Raiders bust. 25. : Devin Bush, LB, Michigan Bush gives the Eagles a rangy sideline to sideline tackler who can provide support to a team that really needs it. He’ll help a lot with the checkdowns that the NFC East QB’s are sure to rely upon against that Eagles front. 26. (From IND): Dre’Mont Jones, DT, Ohio State Jones provides the third head for the Cerberus that is the Cleveland defensive line. Ogunjobi, Garrett and Jones should provide a wrecking ball for the Browns for which their opportunistic corners will lay the foundation for victory. 27. (From ARI, From OAK, From DAL): Parris Campbell, WR, Ohio State The run the ball 50 times a game strategy is not going to work in the NFL for very long, and the Ravens need to diversify their offense if they want to dance on the big stage. Jackson needs to continue to develop as a quarterback, and having a number 1 option who can actually catch and run will go a long way (sorry Crabtree, you were garbage last year). 28. : Brian Burns, OLB, Florida State Can you feel the Burns? He’s gonna get into the first round, maybe even earlier than this.Burns give the Chargers rotational depth at a position they desperately need. 29. (From KC); T.J. Hockenson, TE, Iowa Seahawks grab themselves a 3 down tight end who can help steady the run game for the Hawks and give Wilson a weapon during his improv sessions. He can really hock it up there for him. Ha. Ha. Ha. 30. (From NO): Zach Allen, DE, Boston College Allen gives the Packers a real bully on their defensive front and the teeth they need if they want to make a real playoff push. 31. : Cody Ford, OT, Oklahoma The Rams have the luxury of not needing to start him immediately, but he moves well and should provide value as a swing tackle or guard early, and when Whitworth retires, he’ll be ready to step in at LT. 32. (Kinda surprised I didn’t slot a trade in here): Amani Oyuwariye, CB, Penn State Fuck it, they the goats. They can do whatever. QB's in flux and where they go: Andy Dalton: Washington to rejoin Jay Gruden, maybe lets Drew Lock develop behind him. Ryan Tannehill: Green Bay as a backup. Oof. Case Keenum: Houston as a backup. Daniel Jones: Denver in the second round Will Grier: Jacksonville as a 3rd or later round pick Blake Bortles: Tampa Bay as a backup Derek Carr: Unloaded to the Giants to compete with Eli for the starting job Teddy Bridgewater: Stays in New Orleans Tyrod Taylor: To the Ravens as a backup

    75. Jake Plummer (Arizona Cardinals 1997-2002, Denver Broncos 2003-2006) 5th Place Cardinals QB and 5th Place Broncos QB Career Record 72-71-0 (50.35%) 64th out of 102 Record in Games with Good Defense 60-16-0 (78.95%) 43rd out of 102 Record in Games with Bad Defense 12-55-0 (17.91%) 96th out of 102 Percentage of Games with Good Defense 76/143 (53.15%) 44th out of 102 (-32) Wins above Average Starter in a 16 Game Season (-0.025) Jake the Snake Plummer is certainly a name that fuels nostalgia in my mind. In addition to being the last player on this list in the negatives, he's also the first long time Broncos QB to make it onto this list. His is basically a tale of two careers, but Jake Plummer never took the stage for the third act, choosing to retire in his prime. I have no doubt that if he had played even a season longer, he would been in the positives on this list. Plummer began his career as the second round pick of the Arizona Cardinals, who were a snake bitten franchise who needed a spark at the QB position that they never had. Unfortunately for them, Plummer didn't quite help them get over the hump, because they needed a lot more than just a QB. Still, he was able to drag the Cardinals to .500 records early on in his career, but slumped in 99 and 2000. He rebounded with efficiency and another .500 record in 2001, but in his last year in Arizona he struggled and was replaced by the rookie Josh McCown. He was often known for choking and throwing interceptions at the worst possible time, and while this trend continued in Denver, he wasn't the sole playmaker on the team so he could play proficiently when the pressure wasn't on his back. The Broncos made playoff appearances in 03 and 04, and while they were met with early exits the needle was trending up for them. In 2005 the Broncos made the playoffs at 13-3, Plummer had his most efficient season, and he and the Broncos ended the Patriots 11 game postseason winning streak... however Plummer choked big time against the Steelers in the AFC Championship game, the Broncos drafted his replacement in Jay Cutler, and after a mediocre 7-4 start, the Broncos decided to pull the plug on the Plummer experiment. He was traded to the Tampa Bay Bucs in 2007, but he decided that he would rather retire than play for Jon Gruden. And so he ended his career at the age of 32. Plummer is basically the guy you'd want if NFL games were only three quarters long. In games where his defenses showed up, (aka most of his Broncos career), he was proficient and deadly winning nearly 79% of his games. If his defense decided to take a nap... well he would throw some costly interceptions and end the game, his 12-55 record in those games is near the worst out of all QB's in this measure, and the reason why he ends up just a fraction below average.

    Woooow. What a week. Not 1, not 2, but 3 major upsets, with the previously winless Express and Legends picking up Ws vs 2-1 teams and and the 1-2 Commanders holding off the 3-0 Iron in a fantastic defensive struggle. Welcome to parity, AAF. Except for Orlando. Someone needs to beat them now. Also not as much shakeup as I was thinking, when everyone at the top loses in week 4, their won't be much movement up there. First: Our scores: Memphis Express 26, San Diego Fleet 23 Orlando Apollos 20, Salt Lake Stallions 11 San Antonio Commanders 12, Birmingham Iron 11 Atlanta Legends 14, Arizona Hotshots 11. 8. (1-3, 11 PPG: #8, 25.8 OPG: #8) (-): The Legends picked up their first W, but they have looked so bad the first three games that I simply cannot justify jumping them over anyone else just yet. There were a lot of positives from the W over Arizona- it was in Arizona, always nice to get a road win, Aaron Murray looked at least competent, but the biggest positive was the Legends defense, which had been allowing over 30 PPG and held the 2nd-ranked offense of Arizona to a measly 11 points. Very impressive turnaround for the Atlanta D. 7. (1-3, 16.2 PPG: #6, 21.2 PPG: #6- Tie) (-2): The Stallions lost their footing in the snow at home versus the best team in the league, but their defense did slow down the Apollos enough to give them a shot at the upset. Unfortunately, the offense was simply not up to the task and a bit of it falls on the coaching, as the Stallions really went very run-heavy in the first half and it seemed like their offense clicked a lot better in the 2nd half once they opened things up. 6. (1-3, 15.2 PPG: #7, 22.5 OPG: #7) (+1): The Express picked up their first win in a sloppy victory over the red-hot Fleet. They allowed a defensive TD and a punt return for a TD or this one isn't even close. Zach Mettenberger is a huge upgrade at QB over Christian Hackenburg, and the Express are a dangerous team for anyone right now. They still dug themselves quite a hole to start the season off, but they still have a chance. 5. (2-2, 21 PPG: #2- Tie, 19.2 OPG: #4) (-1): The Hotshots fell at home to previously winless Atlanta, and worse yet their offense was nearly shut down by the worst defense in the AAF- at home, no less. Arizona needs to shake this loss off in a hurry, as they are now tied at 2-2 with both the Fleet and the Commanders in the Western Conference. Nick Folk missing an easy 40 yard FG doesn't help matters on a day when your offense isn't exactly putting up points by the bunch. 4. (2-2, 16.8 PPG: #5, 21.2 OPG: #6- Tie) (+2) The Commanders won a 12-11 defensive slugfest versus the previously unbeaten Iron, a game they really needed to have and one where their defense showed up much better than it had the previous two weeks versus the Fleet and the Apollos. The offense still struggled to move the ball, one key sequence where they could have all but put the game away showing the offensive weakness of this team in full- six plays from the Iron 1 yard line, and they net a total of -1 yards. 3. (2-2, 21 PPG: #2- Tie, 16 OPG: #3) (-): The Fleet dropped a doozy to the Express, a game that should not have been close barring a pick-six and a punt return for a TD, the Fleet get blown out. It's a classic letdown loss after a huge win versus a division opponent. The Fleet are still tied for 1st in the West and they still have the best run-game in the AAF. 2. (3-1, 19.2 PPG: #4, 8.2 OPG: #1) (-): The Iron lost a close one to the Commanders to deprive us of two 4-0 squads matching up next week. They are still 3-1 but the offense has got to be worrisome. Luis Perez finally had a decently bad game instead of just having decent games, and the Iron turned the ball over twice. A defense that gets two goalline stands back to back after a DPI call negated the first 3 stops deserves better from its offense than a measly 11 points. Even with just that 11 points, if the Iron don't turn the ball over, they still win as 9 of the Commanders 12 points came off of Iron turnovers, as well as depriving the Iron of at least 3 points of their own. Birmingham is built on a defense that forces mistakes and an offense that doesn't make them. Neither happened today. 1. (4-0, 29 PPG: #1, 15.8 OPG: #2) (-): The Apollos are quite clearly the best team in the AAF and there might even be a significant gap between them and anyone else. They have the best offense by a longshot, their defense is 2nd, (albeit by literally 1 point allowed), and their QB is the best in the league, their defense gets takeaways and its just hard to see anyone beating them at this point. Their one weakness if I can point at anything, is- or at least was- a lack of a running game, but that did not seem to slow them down versus the Stallions in the snow. They also commit a lot of penalties- they lead the league in this category- which makes them being 4-0 even more of an indicator of how far ahead they have been of their opponents. They face a stiff test in the Iron next week, but they are probably going to be favorites from here on out.

    The East plays a different kind of basketball too. They still shoot a lot of 3 threes but the East is just a more physical conference imo. GS should have kept McGee who is a better defender than Cousins. They have a lot of scorers. Also am I the only one that just doesn't even recognize Harden's season as a true 30ppg season? Stars have always gotten calls but wtf man? Lol. Iverson shot a lot of ft's when he averaged 31 but he also rountinely got pummled in the paint lol. If you watched Iverson, he earned his free throws. Kobe got calls of course but he didn't get anything like Harden is getting.
