So we went 10-6 and didn't make the playoffs. Forgot to make tables and stuff. Playing in only 8 games, Brandin Cooks had 1,200 yards receiving and 17 touchdowns, but didn't win Best WR yet alone OPOY. C'mon man!

My draft. I didn't use the scouting tool this go round. Felt it made things way too easy.

I either wanted to draft LB and CB or rebuild my OL and get a fast HB. Well the draft class wasn't very stout in CB and all of the good LB's were early 1st rounders and I don't trade up, so I went for OL. Didn't get the HB I wanted though. Should of traded the 7th away as I had no prospects I liked but this guy was in the top 5 of like 5 combine workouts, so I figured I could focus him in training and build his attributes.

Round 1 Pick 20: C Bryan Reilly 75 OVR

Round 2 Pick 20: Traded to Cleveland Browns for 5th round pick and 2018 2nd and 6th round picks.

Round 3 Pick 13: Traded to Chicago Bears for a 5th round pick and 2018 2nd round pick.

Round 3 Pick 20: HB Bryan Shivers 68 OVR

Round 4 Pick 20: LG Marcus Lloyd 72 OVR (Superstar)

Round 5 Pick 6: RG Ronnie Darby 73 OVR

Round 5 Pick 28: QB Chase Grubbs 69 OVR (Quick)

Round 6 Pick 20: RT Russell Tatum 75 OVR

Round 7 Pick 20: FS Johnathan McMahon 69 OVR (blind pick from best combine score, projected undrafted)
