Trigger Your Inner Ted Thompson

If you guys are as bored as I have been and are really into the draft, check out this site I came across today (I have no affiliation with it, just found it while browsing Reddit). The site is www.first-pick.com

I have no idea how they get the score they do in the end but I have used draft emulators in the past and for the most part, the computer makes decent choices and offers some trade ups/downs in this one.

So, see if you can beat my (horrible) score and let me know what you think about my inner-TT abilities.

Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 25 (S.D.): C.J. Mosley, ILB, Alabama (A)- traded down with San Diego, moved back 4 spots and received their 2nd round pick.
Round 2 Pick 21: Kyle Van Noy, OLB, Brigham Young (A)
Round 2 Pick 25 (S.D.): DaQuan Jones, DT, Penn State (B)
Round 3 Pick 21: Dion Bailey, FS, Southern California (B-)
Round 3 Pick 34 (COMP): C.J. Fiedorowicz, TE, Iowa (A)
Round 4 Pick 21: Devin Street, WR, Pittsburgh (B-)
Round 5 Pick 21: Aaron Colvin, CB, Oklahoma (D)
Round 5 Pick 36 (COMP): Aaron Murray, QB, Georgia (A)
Round 6 Pick 21: Dri Archer, WR, Kent State (B+)
Round 7 Pick 21: Ben Gardner, DE, Stanford (C-)

Your score is: 3906 (Drafting Ability: C, Player Quality A, Future Draft Picks: N/A)

Hm thought Dion Bailey was a SS? Anyway, I would be stoked if that was the Packers haul. Hell, Mosley and Fiedorowicz is enough to make me happy, let alone anyone else.

Can't even do the damn first pick cuz the site is blocked at work. Lame! But they allow Facebook? wtf.

Anyhow, Dri Archer is a RB from what I've heard and read.

Yeah, the site has a few screw ups with some positions I believe but I am assuming someone like Dri Archer is being looked at as a RB/WR/KR and the site was just lazy and listed him as a receiver.

I was mad when I got a D grade for Aaron Colvin in the 5th. If I am not mistaken, before he tore his ACL in the Senior Bowl, he was a top rated corner.

Let me know if any of you get to do it. I am interested to see what other guys want/end up with!

I'd like to, but I feel work would frown on my reasoning (SUMMONING MY INNER TEDDY!!!) for sneaking around the proxy.

Round 2 Pick 21: Deone Bucannon, SS, Washington State (B+)
Round 2 Pick 31 (DEN): Travis Swanson, C, Arkansas (B-)
Round 3 Pick 21: C.J. Fiedorowicz, TE, Iowa (B+)

Round 6 Pick 21: Dri Archer, WR, Kent State (B+)
Round 7 Pick 21: Eathyn Manumaleuna, DT, Brigham Young (B-)

I had a better one going but somehow lost it. I like Swanson. Big, tough kid that plays a little dirty. Just the guy I want directly in front of Arod.
I grabbed Archer to see if he can stick as our return guy.
