The 3031 NFL Amateur Draft

Here we go at 1/9. Good players on the board?

Oh yeah. A great OG is here, Antonio Durrough, which of course, I don’t need. TE Adam Savoie looks better than Brant Carman. C Ian Riley is lights out good.

The next tier. DT Bart Davison, 78/76/50. He;s okay. The kind you’d hope to pull at 1/20 not 1/9. LB Craig Zuchowski, 70/84/98/86/59. That‘s pretty good. CB Broderick Harrison is great.

Someday one of my 1st round LB shouldn’t be a bust, right? Right?

Then our 1/36 pick arrives. It’s an obvious need meets value with an OT who is better than anyone I’ve had in a long time. OT with 66/82/66

We are up again at 2.6 Our only pick of the round. Oh look., another OT.

3/6 is here! Time to start BAPing. I break a rule I’ve held since 2001 when I became a GM 30 years ago. I am drafting a P/K. He looks downright awesome, and my P is getting old. He’s in my lap, so I take him.


Draft Recap

1/9 - LB Craig Zuchowski, San Diego State
1/36 - OT Terrell Caserez, Michigan

4/36 - RB Shaun Hanson, Northwestern
5/36 - C Marcus Gunn, N Mexico Highlands
7/6 - DT Bubba Prescott, Michigan State
7/36 - OG Isaac Rice, Memphis


I reject a trade offer for Ackerman.


I cut P Leo Rayburn

I have 43 players and just 8.5 million to sign me some players.


I sing these UFA:

TE Kenneth Garrison, Oregon State
WR Dan Welch, Virginia Tech
WR Jimmie Dukes, USC
DE Devin Shafer, Kentucky
DE Kent Barlow, USC
CB Trent Dotson, Virginia Tech
CB Alvin Walendy, Brigham Young
LB Brent Shields, Nebraska

I decide to bite the bullet and cut first round bust Mo Razo, LB.

I sign LB Mo Strother to a two year deal. He is just a long term patch but a solid one. I am paying him 6 million a year. Money I cleared by cutting Razo.

I have 51 players so let’s go camping.
