EDOTLOCCA's Corner: One Man, No Brain Mock Draft Part II

And welcome to part 2 of my One Man, No Brain Mock Draft! If your weren’t aware that this was part 2, then I recommend you close it and find part 1 now, otherwise this will make little or no sense and you will be wasting your own and my time. If you have already read part 1, crack on!

7. ADRZ
Mike Evans, Marshawn Lynch, Isaiah Crowell, Allen Robinson, Marcus Mariota, Ty Montgomery, Adrian Peterson, Cardinals DEF
This roster is constructed for the red zone, Coach Wells is going big for high upside TD scorers. Showing faith in his former player, Lynch, and veteran, Peterson, to regain their glory days alongside some high octane OFFs and a dual threat QB, ADRZ look to maintain their strong showing in recent seasons.
My Rank: 4th

8. Patistan
Melvin Gordon, Michael Thomas, Demaryius Thomas, Jordan Reed, Bilal Powell, Broncos DEF, Texans DEF, Tevin Coleman
After his hot start last season, Coach Allen will be looking for Gordon to pave the way again. With solid WRs, a high upside TE and an awful lot of sacks on DEF, this team will be dangerous. Without any bench RBs or WRs so far however, this team isn’t as deep as those ranked above it.
My Rank: 5th

9. Cash 4 Gould
Ezekiel Elliot, Dez Bryant, Joe Mixon, Matt Ryan, Cam Newton, Frank Gore, Kirk Cousins, Derek Carr
Where do I start? Coach Gardner preached of how he was to prove his doubters wrong in his sophomore year, well no one anticipated this. Ignoring suspensions or rookie concerns, the team started with huge upside (and a very low floor), and then drafted 4 QBs, yes 4. Could this be an incredible gambit to abuse the new waiver system and prey on QB-needy trade partners? All geniuses are misunderstood, but so are all lunatics.
My Rank: 12th

10. IKSAN
DeMarco Murray, Jordan Howard, Travis Kelce, CJ Anderson, Tyler Eifert, Chiefs DEF, Dan Bailey, Cairo Santos
Either someone has hacked Coach Sherwood’s spreadsheets, or he has decided that the zero RB strategy is now too mainstream and that zero WR is the way forwards. Whatever the reason, the result is a poorly constructed team with gaping holes. The strong (and available) RB core saves them from the wooden spoon.
My Rank: 11th

11. The Dream Team
Devonta Freeman, Jordy Nelson, Carlos Hyde, Drew Brees, Emmanuel Sanders, Mark Ingram, Mike Gillislee, Martavis Bryant
This is more like it! A balanced and well-constructed roster loaded with high floor players in the early rounds and high upside plays in Bryant and Gillislee later on. In fact, this team is almost too safe to be drafted by Coach Nathwani, perhaps it is the difference between runner up and champion?
My Rank: 1st

12. Tanky McTankface
AJ Green, Jay Ajayi, Terrelle Pryor, Alshon Jeffery, Julian Edelman, Davante Adams, Stephon Diggs, DeSean Jackson
This draft was going very well for Coach Merritt, and then he drafted Edelman. A lengthy bout of mocking from the rest of the present coaches clearly dashed any confidence built in the earlier rounds as WR after WR was drafted to try and atone for the mistake. The result is that the very first Tanky McTankface team resembles most Tuckfards teams that went before it, no one understands it.
My Rank: 8th


So there we have it: The Dream Team finally claim their first title, IKSAN leave us wondering whether they really did deserve that name change, we witness the most spectacular sophomore slump since RGIII and Tanky McTankface surprise absolutely no one by providing some very Tuckfard-like draft day head-scratchers. If the season pans out half as well as this, it will be one to remember!
