So do we need to put a time limit on open spots and give fans of those teams first crack at it but if things are not filled by a certain time then open it up to anybody from another team to pick a certain team that might interest them? I ask this since there are some teams on this board that have very little fan base and probably are not checked very often. Since there are quite a few fans say of the 49ers, Seahawks, Redskins, and others maybe they would like to fill some of those spots.

Fans of most teams are sticking to their own boards right now. Perhaps a mod could send out a post to all the NFL boards that we're doing this and would like to have fans of the actual team to do the drafting.

So its only going to be one person per team? On ESPN, everybody gathered on their team boards and discussed who they should pick together. Well of course, ESPN was different since there were so many people, but I do think that we should check out all the team boards and see if their fans are interested. If not, I'd be willing to pick for multiple teams. And I'd be willing to help spearhead this thing too if I have to. I think we need Mods though. It would be easier that way. I'll help in any way possible though.

I plan on eliciting advice/opinions from the Cardinal boards on most of the picks.

Yeah, we may have to post something on the team boards. I also will take more than one team if needed...

Well, we need to see if the Mods are down for this or not. Because we need Sticky threads and things of the like that only Mods can do. But I know from experience that its a very fun process, and it helps expand everyone's knowledge of the game.

Sounds like we are pretty close to up and running. Need the mods input.

I am willing to take 1 more team if needed, but will hold off until we get closer. Would likely take the Chiefs (my buddy would be able to help me with needs, etc...) or 1 of the teams just before or after my Chargers.

I can sticky threads as needed, but lets keep it to a minimum amount needed.

I think that will have done by someone going board to board.

I'll go post it on all the boards. Something like this:

Hey guys. We are doing a Mock Draft on the general board and I think you guys should come be apart of it. Come check out the thread and see if your team has been taken yet:

(Thread link)

And if they have, don't worry, I'm sure the person picking won't mind coming to the team board and discussing picks with you. The team boards will be like the war rooms for each team. This should be very fun for everyone. Many boards have done this before and it was a great experience. Especially if you love the draft, this is something you should for sure check out.

Hopefully some of the other Mods will help you run it, but if not, I can help.

Well Harold has helped already and I appreciate that

I would help but with my work schedule, I don't know that I can be reliable enough. I don't wanna say I can do something and then not come through.

Yeah. I don't know how much I'd be able to help either, but I'd give it a try.
