5th Annual Packerrats Draft Contest

[Joemailman]

Did this last year, bringing it back...

The Premise:

Pick 10 players YOU think the Packers might draft this year and what round you think they'll go in. Whoever racks up the most points, wins.

Scoring:

Points will be awarded according to the round the player was taken in, since predictions are proportionally more difficult in the higher rounds. One additional point will be added if the round prediction is correct. For Example:

If you predict the Packers will take Brandon Graham in the 1st round, and that happens, you get 2 points, 1 point for picking a 1st round pick, and 1 point for getting the right round.

If you predict the Packers will take Rodger Saffold in the 2nd round, but the Packers take him in the 3rd round, you will get 3 points for getting a 3rd round pick, but will not get the extra 1 point for getting the round right.

Feel free to edit your picks up until the start of the draft

I'll wait a bit for my finals but I'm calling dibs on the Punter from Michigan !

:lol:

[CaliforniaCheez]

Past winner got 2 right. One of which in the correct round.

Trying to guess what Ted Thompson will do is a nearly impossible task.

I'll have to rent a monkey to throw darts at the big board this weekend and give it a whirl.

He'll do something like trade down in the 4th and get an extra 6th that will screw me all up.

It will be a safe bet that nobody gets 50%.

[Brandon494]

I got three right last year (Raji, Meredith, and Johnson).

[CaliforniaCheez]

I got three right last year (Raji, Meredith, and Johnson).

That is the best anyone has done then. I've tried every year, Ted and the board are unpredictable.

Last year almost every draft site had Meredith as a late 2nd rounder.

I remember a couple of draft sites really criticized the Sitton pick right after the draft thinking he was a 6th round guy who would never make it.

The more I read these alleged draft guru sites the more I am impressed with Ted and don't get my heart set on any particular player. I was very happy with the Meredith pick last year. Yet Deitrich-Smith was a better signing. I hated the Aaron Rodgers pick at the time too.

So this year more than ever I am inclined to leave it to the experts and see what happens. It is just more relaxing and fun.

[Brandon494]

Yea I actually picked Meredith in the 2nd round in my mock draft.

Akwasi Owusu-Ansah would need to be taken here if our picks stay the same. I don't think he'll last to our third pick as it stands now. I thought we might somehow pick up an additional third to get this kid.

[K-town]

I'll have a go at this:

1A. Devin McCourty, CB
1B. Jerry Hughes, LB

-7. Johnathon Crompton, QB

Here's my crap shoot.

1A - Kareem Jackson, CB, Alabama
1B - Earl Thomas, DB, Texas (Only person the Packers would trade up for, if he drops to 14 or 15)
2A - Vlad Ducasse, OT, Massachusetts
