RealGM Expert Mock Draft...Five Spots Open!

Post #1 » by **APerna** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 5:18 pm

Hey gang, I'm looking to create an Expert Mock Draft for the NFL main page, so I figured what better way to compile one than by calling on our Fantasy nuts (myself included)...

I'm looking for twelve guys who will be active and able to complete such a Mock Draft in a timely fashion. We will pick in the reverse order of how you sign up...myself included (so I will get the 12th pick)...

We'll aim to fill a 16-man roster:
Starting Line-up:
QB, 2RB, 2WR, RB/WR, TE, K, DEF

That will provide us with seven bench spots...and a total of sixteen players.

THIS IS NOT A REAL LEAGUE, JUST A MOCK DRAFT!

I'm hoping to attract a lot of interest here, and some solid picks (along with active users who will check multiple times per day in order to make things run smoothly.)

Draft Order/First Round Results:
1. philbe311 - LaDainian Tomlinson, SD RB
2. whosthebosh? - Steven Jackson, STL RB
3. PacerPerspective - Larry Johnson, KC RB
4. Monkeyfeng06 - Frank Gore, SF RB
5. lpsevier - Joseph Addai, IND RB
6. J.Kim - Peyton Manning, IND QB
7. ElTurco - Shaun Alexander, SEA RB
8. Basketball Jesus - Brian Westbrook, PHI RB
9. livestrong4ever - Willie Parker, PIT RB
10. PacersRule07 - Rudi Johnson, CIN RB
11. Ultimate Kings Fan - Reggie Bush, NO RB
12. NurbekIL -

I'm in and would like slot #3, so I can practice... Just PM when we fill up the spots, because this board is kind of dead...

Well...I wanted to avoid having people fight over spots, so you'll get #10 per the rule I stated above...

The board won't be dead for long...I'm hoping this will attract some attention...

I think I'm going to call this off...

Not nearly enough traffic and interest to pull it off...

Mods feel free to lock...

^ maybe that's because no one wants to pick a 7 or 8 spot? you should have a lottery kind of deal. that will attract more people.

I doubt it...

No its true.

If you go by posting order, everyone's gonna wait until someone bites and signs at a position.

No one wants to be stuck in between the 2-picks-close-together and the first tier drop off area, because that often spells death sentence for a Fantasy team...

That and its only been one day since you started the thread.... :dontknow:

People would wait to get a top pick in a MOCK draft? They realize this isnt a real league they are drafting right? I hope? Ugh.

I'm assuming that we would play this one out...

Kind of useless to conduct a draft on Yahoo FF and not to play it out...

you should just tell people to sign up and just do a random select thing, something like drawing names out of a hat or something like that. randomize the draft order... cause i definitely don't want 5~9 picks. trust me, do it that way.

I was hoping to conduct it here, so we wouldn't carry out the league.

Sorry for the confusion...

If we can get people together I'll randomize it...

I've changed the order to just count the number of players we have thus far...THREE.
