Mock Draft Chat

What are the rules for the draft so I can prepare. I took this week off from work and hiring lawyer tomorrow.

Seriously it took a few weeks to decide on a 1990-Present draft with no restrictions?

Maybe you should listen to yourself when you talk. Sometimes you answer your own questions.

Since we haven't locked in anything, what do you guys think of throwing a wild card pick or 2 in? Nothing crazy, I think 2 would be perfect, assuming we get 10 or 12 people. Throws just enough of a twist in things without being threatening to any newbies.

I'm all for WC's in a year or two year draft, or a capped draft, but this is an open with a big pool

This. 90-current is a huge pool. I really don't think there is a need for a WC.

Are we ever going to do a College Football draft? Out of all the drafts we have done, hell we have done golf and hockey twice so not sure why not college football. So many players did amazing in college but not so much in pros (insert basically every PSU RB here), plus this gives me another draft where I can select Bo. Yes I know we won't right now but thinking down the line.

Only problem with college drafts is that it's going to turn into a pro draft. If you take all really good college players, and then lose to a team with 12 NFL HOFer's, you're gonna be pissed, but that's what will happen

This is exactly why we aren't going to do a college football draft, people will vote based on the NFL careers.

Oh come on we have done a college basketball draft before and everyone votes differently anyways. You go into draft knowing it's best college playing career.

Umm... OK. I completely disagree and think the pool is very thin, but whatever...

It's enormous

Some positions are but remember it is current so it's basically the last 20 years of the best players. I think it is a pretty good pool IMO

Not what she said

Spoiler

Bo Jackson is not eligible in this NFL Draft

 

[CitySushi]

Sorry gonna have to pass on this draft. We're moving to a new office today. We were actually supposed to be up and running by today but the new landlords dropped the call on making sure our space was ready. It's gonna be a hectic week for me so I wouldn't be able to make timely picks.

 

[Shanemansj13]

So if Ritzy and Sushi are out on this draft we only have 9 if Steelers is in:

WLK
UK
Nos
Mebert
Femur
Milk
500
Shane

@SteelersPride are you in? The Draft rules are below.

@blstoker I know you pretty much do baseball only but are you in? That makes 10.

Actually if you needed a 10th, I could probably do it, as long as the draft started later in the day tomorrow. Wednesday would be best otherwise I'd just be rattling off names from the top my head. I had assumed things might get started as early as today.

Yeah it will most likely start tomorrow considering we are only on the 2nd round of these playoffs...and if Stoke is in and Steelers we can roll with 11 too....

Ok, just let me know. Either way if I'm in or out, I'm good.
