Well, we're less than a week away from the NFL Draft, and I'm already going out of my mind. I figured this might give us a little something to do in anticipation of Saturday. There was something similar to this on the JSO forums last year, and I had a pretty fun time doing it, so why not give it another try?
The Premise:
Pick 10 players YOU think the Packers will 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. Some examples:
Have a pick of "A.J. Hawk, LB, Ohio St., 1st round" and if the Packers take Hawk with the 5th pick, you get 2 points, one for hitting a first round pick, one for correctly predicting the round.
A pick of "Brian Calhoun, RB, Wisconsin, 3rd round" with the Packers taking Calhoun in the 3rd round would net you 4 points, 3 for hitting a third round pick, and one for getting the round correct.
Having "Craig Eslinger, C, Minnesota, 3rd round" and the Packers take him in the 4th round will net you 4 points for picking a 4th round pick.
It doesn't matter which 10 players you pick, your list could be Bush, Leinart, Young, Cutler, Hawk, Williams, Ferguson, Huff, Sims, Ngata, or it could be 10 guys nobody ever heard of. You don't have to take a player for each round.
Submissions/changes will be accepted until Tagliabue slams his gavel to open the draft on Saturday morning. Winner gets the honored distinction of either being a lucky SOB or having way too much time to think about the NFL Draft. I dunno. Maybe I'll give you a cookie or something if I ever see you on the street.
Any questions/suggested changes feel free to post them, otherwise happy drafting!
