Official 2014 Packerrats Draft Contest

[Joemailman]

The Premise:

Pick 9 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 later rounds. One additional point will be added if the round prediction is correct. For Example:

If you predict the Packers will take Calvin Pryor 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 Terrance Brooks 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.

[B]Feel free to update your picks until the draft starts.

Just number them with the Packers picks (1,2,3,3,4,5,5,6,7). Think about the brag gin you could do if the Packers take your 7th round pick in the 3rd.

[red]

i love the idea of this, but i completely suck at these kinds of things. plus i really only know guys that are gonna go in the first couple of rounds

Shadow gets 2 points for Ha-Ha.

[Bretsky]

IT IS IRONIC

For two weeks I've targeted my Big 4 ...Dix.Prior.Shazier.Mosley
But I was convinced we had the least change to get Dix of all four so I lefthim off my list

Me too. Only Shadow took the most logical pick.

As it drug out I began to imagine that he might be there for us.

I felt of those four B. that FS Hasean "Ha Ha" Clinton-Dix was the most probable to be available for TT to pick. I got there by observing Mocks.

ie See Mike Mayock and Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.Com. Where their Mocks landed....and both having Ha Ha Clinton-Dix going just past the Packers to Philly @ Pick NO. 22.

[The Shadow]

The Shadow KNOWS, boys.

[HarveyWallbangers]

What do I get for Adams?

[Brandon494]

What do I get for Adams?

You picked 10 players so you are disqualified!!! :-)

[smuggler]

Annoyed with the Vikes. They've had a nice draft.

[Joemailman]

Shadow - Ha-Ha 2 points

Brandon - Adams- 3 points

Harvey - Adams - 3 points

So far.

[red]

i nailed janis, i was just 4 rounds off

but thats 7 points, right?

did i just win this shit?

[red]

no no no, we're not forgetting about his

i think i've won and i want to gloat

[HarveyWallbangers]

I think you get two points for picking the player and a bonus point for picking the correct round.

:-)I just saw this:


hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Not close .................................................. ...............................................no cigar.

I think your trying to make some point. Yet it slips me as to what it is.

I wonder if TT would have had his two 5th's the 6th and 7th with a trade up for any of your guys?

[woodbuck27]

i love the idea of this, but i completely suck at these kinds of things. plus i really only know guys that are gonna go in the first couple of rounds

I predict that your not surprized you won this...it was money all the way.

As a whole our predictions weren't close percentage wise and looking at the number of predicted pricks Vs actual picks.

[woodbuck27]

Annoyed with the Vikes. They've had a nice draft.

Not many if any NFL teams drafted better.

The Vikings killed it.

[smuggler]

If Bridgewater falls apart, they still are limited as a team, no matter how much better they got at other positions. That's what I will be telling myself.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Apparently, Red got more for picking Janis in round 3 (when we took him in the 7th round) than I did for nailing Adams in the 2nd round. :)

[Joemailman]

I was out of town that weekend, so I guess I forgot to tally the points. But Red won because he got 7 points for Janis. I think Red might be the first person to pick a player who drafted in the 7th round. I had Jolly in the 6th round one year.

[red]

WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I liked my draft a lot... still like it today.

In the up and down, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" world of the NFL

1st round - Pryor went 18th to the Jets and was as productive as Ha Ha; hence, a wash of picks.

2nd round - Moncrief - stepped up late. Adams was better overall, but will be a wash in the long run.

3rd round - Westburg went in the 2nd round to the Giants. Looks like a 10 year starter.

3rd round - Telvin Smith, went in the 5th round to Jax - considered a steal of the draft, looks like a long-term starter for them, and would have solved our ILB probs.

4th round - Crockett Gillmore went to the Ravens in the 3rd round, maybe a wash with Rodgers... like Gilmour better than Rodgers though.

5th round - Dexter McDougal went in the 3rd round to the Jets - tore his ACL early. Loved this guy. Went in 3rd round... so there ya go.

Matthews, Patchen and Hazel were also rans :( lol...

Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder when it comes to the NFL draft :)

[smuggler]

Telvin Smith has amazing coverage skills, but he's light. Would have been a great Ying to Barrington's Yang.

[Guiness]

Can't say I agree Wist!

Don't know if I'd say Pryor was a wash vs Ha Ha. Pryor got moved to FS, then was benched late in the season. Some of it was scheme and general poor play in the Jets secondary, but unless he improves his play a lot he's not in Dix's league.

Richburg...well, I'd rather pick up a 10year starter at center as a UDFA than in the 2nd round!

Telvin Smith is an OLB, and played there in college as well. Not sure he could move inside.

The Jets were a mess last year, and everyone knew that Rex was as good as gone by week 5... I think Pryor will be fine if they stabilize the ship there - granted, a big if.

Richburg was moved to Guard... outstanding player. We're okay on the OL for now, but our depth is very suspect, and our history is not good. Drafting a quality player at a position of perpetual trouble - can't go wrong there.

Smith can play anywhere... just depends on scheme. Thankfully, and amazingly, the Packers changed up to an Elephant alignment, and a guy like Smith could flourish just fine in that alignment. Look at the slugs we've had playing there for years... Brad Jones?? and AJ Hawk?? Smith is light years better than both.

Brad Jones' has to be one of the most confusing contracts I've seen come out of 1265 Lombardi Ave. I guess he played well at the right time, getting starts and playing well when Desmond Bishop went down.

[3irty1]

I think that new Jet's staff will make Pryor a star. They've got to be feeling good about the fit.

That said, Haha is clearly the better fit for a Capers defense and can be trusted not to suck in whatever defense comes after.
