Official 2017 Packerrats Draft Contest

[Joemailman]

The Premise:

Pick 8 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 T.J. Watt 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 Sidney Jones 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 update your picks until the draft starts.

5 - Jake Eldrenkamp - OG WashingtonI've watched film of Witherspoon. He can cover some ground. Has great ball skills. I don't know what King or the rest have over him. He's supposed to be a bad tackler, but from the tape I saw he's not afraid to stick his nose in there. Plus, he's fast. I hope he does go to us.

[Deputy Nutz]

Well you lose Jordan Willis

[pbmax]

Well you lose Jordan Willis

Don't I get credit for the player, just not the round bonus?

[pbmax]

Pretty sure I do.


If you predict the Packers will take Sidney Jones in the 2nd round, but the Packers take him in the 3rd round, you will get 3 points for getting a 3rd round pick

[pbmax]

wthigoot, Bretsky and esoxx pick up some points!

[Joemailman]

Bretsky - 2
wthigoot - 2
esoxx - 2

Kevin King - 2 points for 2nd round pick. No bonus point for getting round right.

[Joemailman]

Looks like nobody had Josh Jones.

[HarveyWallbangers]

The Biegel pick gets a couple of guys the lead.

Such homers. Stunned Bretsky didn't have him in there. :D

[HarveyWallbangers]

He did in the third round, so he has to be stoked we got him in the 4th with the pick acquired in the King trade.

That is just sheer football genius on display boys! I was not guessing at all. Numbers, analytics and years of experience provided that one moment of glory.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Congrats! That'll probably do it. The guy doesn't even have a bio on NFL.com. :)

Truly a legendary performance by MadScientist. Years from now, people will be able to remember exactly what they were doing when they learned that Mad Scientist scored a 14 in the Packerrats Draft Contest.

My apologies if I missed any correct picks. (I often do).

[BZnDallas]

Congrats Mad! I noticed your strategy and tried it using the 5th round. But damn, hitting two 7th rounders is quite impressive indeed.

[Bretsky]

Brilliant Strategy.....also even more brilliant that TT often ends up with at least two seventh rounders

[BZnDallas]

That's why I chose the 5th round too. Bc we had 2 picks going into the draft and thought that'd double my chances. Haha. Mad was on point.

Hitting on a mid-round pick is pretty impressive. There are just so many possibilities. Early rounds get all the talk (for good reason), and TT has a tell for the late round picks.

[smuggler]

That was going to be my strategy, but I never got around to putting in a list. I would have lost regardless.
