Wow this looks amazing.

I really don't have a problem with the WR going 1st overall (although him being white and named Treon is a little... unrealistic, haha), although I doubt that will ever happen again unless the prospect is a Calvin Johnson clone. The TE going 2nd overall is just terrible though. Vernon Davis going 6th overall is the highest I can ever remember a TE going, and that was questionable then and still is now. Most elite TE prospects are going to go in the 15-25 range.

Other than that, looks really good. It would just be nice if it were a little more realistic, but you can't have everything I guess.

Do we even know that it was the CPU making the picks? The video says it's an online draft... maybe those were users.

Nice catch and I guess I didn't take that into consideration.

If you notice, all of the picks say "CPU" except for the 4th pick, which is the Titans, that has the user's name.

Well, I think the whole Mark tweet is actually alright. He said "Pretty obvious that Z. Richmond will be going first overall. Question is, will the Cowboys field offers for the pick?" which to me indicates that the Cowboys didn't need the QB, but were open to the offers for teams to trade up to get Z Richmond; in the end they didn't trade the pick so Richmond didn't go first overall.

But he dropped 19 picks to 20th overall. Even if the Cowboys didn't need him and he was the obvious "first overall" pick, he wouldn't have made it passed 3rd at worst.
