These drafts are so ridiculous and unrealistic. Here's one I just did:

Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 17 (ATL): Sheldon Rankins, DT, Louisville (A)
Round 2 Pick 14 (L.A.): Robert Nkemdiche, DT/DE, Ole Miss (A)
Round 2 Pick 16: Vadal Alexander, OG/OT, LSU (A-)
Round 2 Pick 19 (ATL): Emmanuel Ogbah, DE, Oklahoma State (A)
Round 3 Pick 15: Deion Jones, OLB, LSU (B)
Round 4 Pick 14: Aaron Burbridge, WR, Michigan State (A)
Round 5 Pick 13: Harlan Miller, CB, Southeastern Louisiana (A+)
Round 7 Pick 16: De'Runnya Wilson, WR, Mississippi State (A+)

lulz

He's projected that low now with fear of missing most or all of the season. I think teams are having trouble gauging his progress. Also, I would have traded down and still taken Jarran Reed around 20th, but didn't have the option to on fanspeak. Jack was gone, but so was Darron Lee so given that situation I would expect to look for a DT and with some hybrids like Nkemdiche and Chris Jones projected a bit lower, I think that is the best plan unless they really want Ragland around mid to late 1st.

I hope we trade back & get 3 picks in the first 2 rounds. Get 2 DT's & a DE. Maybe Nkemdiche, Dodd & Billings or some kind of combination like that.

First-Pick sim:
R1: Laquon Treadwell WR
R2: Jonathon Bullard DT/DE
-Vernon Butler DT was also here. That's a tough choice.
R3: Landon Turner OG
R4: Rashard Robinson CB
R5: KJ Dillon S
R7: Mike Thomas WR

Rounds 1-4 are definitely a homerun draft, imo

I made one trade, couldn't help myself.
