Buffalo Bills
2.8 WR - Kai Humphries
-- With only 2 WRs under contract going into the draft I knew what i was looking for with my first pick and Humphries looks to be in the top 5 of WRs this draft so i'm happy he dropped this far since i didn't have a 1st round pick this year.
-- Prediction - mid 60s
3.7 TE - Juan Talley
-- I didn't have anyone I really liked here and with talent already looking thin i decided to go with Talley in the hopes he can replace Cortez in a year or two when he retires.
-- Prediction - 45-50
5.10 CB - Norman Kelley
-- This was an auto pick as i got the text i was on the clock with one minute left and all my priority players had already disappeared. He looks like he could be an okay backup SS if he hits the middle of his bars, we'll have to wait and see.
-- Prediction - low 30s to low 40s unless he's much better than i expect
5.12 S - Orlando Fitzgerald
-- A really quick look (i had 10 min) I just grabbed the best player i could find before i got auto'd again. Fitzgerald looks to be a better player than Kelley but that's about all i can say for him at this point since my DC sucks at scouting DBs (40 pt spread of blue bar)
-- Prediction - somewhere in the 40s maybe even low 50s
-- At this point i was at work and missed both my 6th and 7th pick so they were auto'd.
6.9 CB - Gus Smithnosky
-- Surprisingly enough the AI actually looks to have made a good value pick here. For a 6th round CB Smithnosky looks great and if he turns out like i hope he could easily be fighting with Reeves and Phillips this year for the CB 2/3 positions
-- Prediction 45-50
7.8 T - Wade Maxwell
-- Another AI pick, i find myself disappointed here and wishing it had grabbed a punter since i don't have one on the roster. Maxwell will be a backup and will hopefully never play(since that would mean a starter got injured)
-- Prediction 33-38
Considering the low talent pool, me not having a 1st, and missing 3 of my picks i think it was an okay draft just not something that will have all that much of an impact on the team with the possible exception of Humphries if he has a good reveal.

Washington Redskins
1.19 OLB - Corbin Blake
-- I took the best player available here. The interview I had on him listed him as underrated. I expected him to be a top 10 pick, so having him fall this far is a blessing.
-- Prediction - 70s
3.17 T - Freddie Lichtenberger
-- Not exactly what I would've wanted for a tackle at this point in the draft, but he should be an improvement over my current LT. With all of our OL injuries over the past couple seasons, I'll be grateful if he stays healthy.
-- Prediction - low 50s
4.13 ILB - Rex Noonan
-- Looks to be pretty solid and may see a lot of playing time early. I had him as the #3 ILB in the draft, but apart from Giles who went in the 1st, ILBs looked pretty weak.
-- Prediction - high 40s
5.13 ILB - Joe Saba
-- Pretty good in coverage, but will need time to develop. Like I said before, this was a weak ILB class.
-- Prediction - mid 40s
5.19 CB - Christian Preston
-- A big problem I felt we had this season was depth in the secondary. We held teams to low completion percentages, but we'd get beat for big yardage. Preston should be a nickel or dime corner going forward. He also could be our new punt returner
-- Prediction - low 40s
6.18 S - Cooper Martinez
-- Looks to have decent bars, but his combine was disappointing. Towards the end of drafts I've decided to trust in my coaching staff's high scouting ability so I am hoping this guy will turn out to be my new top safety.
-- Prediction - low 50s
7.17 P - Bubba Coffey
-- I had him as the top punter in the draft. We've been the worst punting team in the league for the last couple seasons so Coffey should start from day 1.
-- Prediction - 60s? but would be happy with anything better than what I have

I'm not very good at making predictions on ratings so I won't post them.
I had TE Talley, OLB Blake, T Lictenberger and S Martinez all on my list at one point or another

Minnesota Vikings1.12 OG - Bobby Dodge
- We're building a superiror O-Line and Dodge is the perfect match
→ Prediction - 70+
2.15 WR - Luis Krumrei
- He is not elite, but he has the right bars to be an explosive playmaker, his endurance might be a slighlty problem, but we have good depth at WR right now
→ Prediction - 45-50
3.12 S/CB - Emmanuel Ledyard
- Decent combines, good size for a CB but i guess bars look to good right now, im not confident they will hold up with his overall rating
→ Prediction - mid 40's
4.32 S - Darnell Fraley
- I thought his bars were perfect for a ballhawk at FS, we will see how he develops.
→ Prediction - high 30's to low 40'S
5.29 DE - Jessie Kinney
- I'm very happy to find Kinney still on the board at the end of the 5th round, he can be an explosive edge rusher that will give a lot of QB's nightmares.
→ Prediction - mid 50's
5.30 RB - Devonte Hayes- A true powerback that has no problem finding the open holes, with an awesome O-line in place he could be an instant starter, because he provides more power and speed then Wunder or Drake. He is not a homerun hitter but he will move the chains.
→ Prediction - high 40's
6.13 TE - Michael Baek
- He is very good pass catching TE like Maax Anwar who is already on my squad, however Baek is also a very capable blocker, so he will help our game in many ways. Rare find in the 6th round.
→ Prediction - high 40's
6.15 LT - Earl Mueller- Adding quality Depth to our O-Line.
→ Prediction - mid 40's
6.29 CB - J.C. Manning- Just a guy for depth, not sure he will make the 53.
→ Prediction - high 30's
7.29 P - Tarzan Chrisman- You can never have enough Special Teamers that can play on a high level, although we have an awesome Punter.
→ Prediction - high 50's

A lot of raw. Hope some of them pan out.

ok here's are class with some of how we ended up with who we picked.
1st - T - Jeremiah Aguilard 32/54 Mid 50s was what I thought he'd be, no so much a value pick but we needed a RT or LT badly, we had zero depth at OT. my other targets mainly other positions were gone, the couple guards I wanted to move to RT were gone, so I took JA. he will help out OL the player I was sure I would lose when I took Jeremiah over him fell to us at 2-10.
2-10 S - Dylan Federer 32/65: Got back the value I passed up in round one, when I saw he was still available all options I was going to consider took a back seat to the guy that was very strongly considered at 1-25. Our secondary needs help and he will be a day one starter for us.
2-25 CB Douglas VanKirk 30/55 We like this kid quite a bit, we needed a CB, Wolfe is getting pretty old, would have likely taken RB Mount had he been available, was targeting CB Harris who was gone, but were more than happy to get VanKirk. Feel like we did quite a bit to help our secondary rnd 2 of this draft.
3-25 - RB Jim Coffey 33/49: We only had 2 RBs on the roster, all of the guys in our list were gone before other than this kid, a valuable 3rd down back and he gives us 3 solid backs to do backfield by committee.
4-25 - WR Gabe Coolidge 22/37 All the WR targets we had earlier were drafted before our pick. Coolidge fits for depth at WR and as our kick returner, he won't get alot of targets but will turn shorter passes into longer ones with his ability to make guys miss.
5-25 LB Lincoln Guthrie 20/41: he solid LB depth can play inside or out, and be ok.
6-25 TE - Jerald Schiller 13/41: We were auto'd would have likely waited a round to grab him, I never heard the text for this pick. Still a TE that should run block well, and be able to catch passes once developed.
7-25 - CB Daquan Douglas 31/42: We took this kid due to have some very nice bars despite a few poor ones, and he was very develpoed so we were pretty sure of what we would be getting. Other than Zone D he's a pretty solid CB will help our depth.
overall before PS2 we are pretty happy with this draft. we'll see what happens after PS2.

Edit: part of the reason most of my picks look a little higher than my predictions is because the predictions are based at the low end of the blue bar(I sometimes bump it a few points up if i have a really big blue bar). That way usually any surprises are pleasant ones.
2.8 WR - Kai Humphries
-- Prediction - mid 60s
-- First Look - 32/60, slightly worse than expected but still looks to be the best WR on my team
3.7 TE - Juan Talley
-- Prediction - 45-50
-- First Look - 22/48, right where i thought he'd be hopefully he stays solid
5.10 SS - Norman Kelly (AI pick)(changed from CB)
-- Prediction - low 30s to low 40s
-- First Look - 31/46(CB) 33/49(SS), much higher than i expected, I can only hope that means he'll be revealed towards the top end of his bars and isn't a mistake on my DCs part.
5.12 FS - Orlando Fitzgerald
-- Prediction - 40s to low 50s
-- First Look - 15/56, a nice surprise so far, if he doesn't drop he'll likely take over from Malone at SS in a couple years
6.9 CB - Gus Smithnosky (AI pick)
-- Prediction - 45-50
-- First Look - 19/40, a little low but not too worried, can't have the whole draft looking better than i expected
7.8 T - Wade Maxwell
-- Prediction - 33-38
-- First Look - 17/49, i'm guessing this means BS and END is toward the high end of the blue, if so it will be a nice surprise
I'm happy with how it's turned out so far, but you know that old joke about the guy that jumped off of a building.....as he passes the 20th floor someone yells out "how's it going"....his response "so far, so good"
