Packers Board Draft Challenge! 

Post#1 » by Neusch23 » Sun Apr 22, 2007 4:26 pm

Lets see who has an eye for talent this year!!!

With a week before the 2007 NFL draft I propose a challenge to see who can most accurately mock the first 16 picks.

Who ever guesses the most correct wins. It isn't so much guessing who goes to what team, it would be who goes in what slot, so predicting trades would be key.

MickeyDavis agreed that who ever gets the most correct, he will list them as a Packers Board Draft Expert in his location on his profile.

It would be great to get as many people involved as we can, so if you can take a couple of minutes to put this together that would be great!

Here is the current draft order through the Packers pick:

1: Oakland Raiders
2: Detroit Lions
3: Cleveland Browns
4: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
5: Arizona Cardinals
6: Washington Redskins
7: Minnesota Vikings
8: Atlanta Falcons
9: Miami Dolphins
10: Houston Texans
11: San Francisco 49ers
12: Buffalo Bills
13: St Louis Rams
14: Carolina Panthers
15: Pittsburgh Steelers
16: Green Bay Packers


I think this works out well because our pick is half of the first round. It wouldn

Good idea though my guess is we'll have a few ties if we're only doing 16 picks.

I did one last year that was tough but fun.

First two rounds. 2 points if you get the player to the right team, 2 points if you get the player to the right spot in the draft order, 1 point if you're only one spot off the draft order.

I did one last year too, only the first 10 picks.

probably will have some ties, but I think only doing 16 picks will get more people involved.

I've done these 2 rnd mock drafts at work - it literally always came down to the last few 2 rnd picks... we should go all round one.

I don't mind doing the full round, but in all honesty, really, God forbid we have a tie. We aren't playing for money. But I guess people want to play for the pride of being the sole location in MD's profile :)

Sounds like great fun. So are you going to sticky this topic and accept posts here or set up a new official sticky, and when will you start taking entries?

I am going to do mine tonite...kinda get the ball rolling.

In my opinion, if someone wants to change thier mind, they can do so before the draft.

Does anyone know if you edit a post, does it list the time??? For as much as I have posted, I have never paid attention to that.

Good luck, and I will get mine in tonite!

Are we only doing the first 16? Not the whole 1st round?

Do we need to put the team and the pick, or just the pick for that slot?

If you want to list the team (I did) thats fine. All that really matters is the draft slot.

I have looked at a good dozen mocks, and none were the same....so I think we will get more people to do this IF we only go through the Packers pick.

If someone was going to cheat, and not take the time to do thier own, people might want to cut and paste last minute, or, you could e-mail me if you would like to, and I will post them just after the draft starts.

However you would like to. Just if you e-mail them to me, make sure that you put your RealGM name at the top, so I know who to give credit for the mock.

My e-mail is my realgm name (neusch23) at aol dot com.

Either way, I will post it for you! I just might not be able to post them all until after 1pm (central)...I manage a grocery store and I will still be at work until the later part of the afternoon.
