2014 Boards Mock Draft Interest List

HigginsJ

So who is interested in being involved in this years Boards mock draft.

If you have not done it before have a look at last years draft

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056913178

PaullyD & Mikemac1 are going to help maintain the draft by stepping in if no pick made within 24hrs. I'll go through it in a bit more detail once we have 32 people signed up.

We have done 2 rounds the last couple of years but I will once again open it up to a vote.

The process is the same as last year where you are assigned a draft slot so you may end up picking for a different team in each round.

The draft is not until May this year so not 100% certain on the start date yet. Would like to prob delay the start until Texas A&M & Louisville have had their pro days so we can settle on Manziel & Bridgewaters stock.

So who is interested?

adrian522

Yep

Paully D

Seven rounds please.

I voted for three. I think that's realistic and would see a good bit of depth.

mikemac1

In!

3 rounds is achievable so voted for that

DDC1990

In and 3 rounds, if things are kept snappy.

TO.

I will jump on board.

Langdon Alger

i'd be interested in having a go at this again.

phatkev

count me in too. 3 rounds would nice

Barney92

I'd be up for this. Voted for 3, but 2 would be good also.

franglan

In please

GoldFour4

I'm in again I'd love three but realistically I think I'd rather two rounds which are properly done though!

Pudsy33

In!

Heffo001

In

Red Crow

In again!

UnitedIrishman

In!

Morrisseeee

I'll give it a go, my first draft !
/must remember to stay tuned.....

kev_s88

im in. voted for 2 rounds, keeps it snappy. Could be pushed for 3 though

Blured

Count me in - enjoyed participating the last couple of years

Dohnny Jepp

I'd like to do it again. Voted 3 rounds. Round 1 and 2 nearly pick themselves. Round 3 is when we would see people make interesting picks.

Lionbacker

Count me in again for this year.

Leslie91

I'm in.... 2 rounds is plenty imho.

Innish_Rebel

Count me in to - 1st timer so I'll try not to make to much of a mess of it...

Chucky the tree

In. And 2 rounds. Just looking at previous mock drafts

2011 - and it took 1 month to get two rounds finished. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056219544
2012 - Again took a month for 2 rounds. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056587670
2013 - Took a month for 2 rounds and then it seems round 3 was just abandoned after two picks in round 3. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056913178&page=2

I think people are really over-estimating how many people will actually be arsed doing this properly once it starts.

DDC1990

I suppose if we map out a time for each player to make the pick.

For Example:
Pick 1: March 10th 8:00 pm
Pick 2: March 10th 9:00 pm
Pick 3: March 10th 10:00 pm

I don't know what would work in terms of a time between each pick. If you cannot make the pick at that time, trade out with someone or have a draftboard of 4/5 players who you expect to be available ready, and PM it to one of the commisioners so they can input the pick?

If I remember correctly, we only went into round 3 to make the first 32 picks, there was only 30 picks in round 2 in 2013

Thats correct. Bountygate & Josh Gordon had removed 2 picks

We will be allowing a max of 24hrs between picks. There will be days where 3 or 4 picks probably submitted

Morrisseeee

Is an hour too long between each pick, why not make it 10 minutes ?!

Pretty much no chance we can get 32 people online with-in ten minutes. For the fantasty drafts it even nearly impossible to get everyone online and they are about half the size. Even an hour is being very unrealistic.

Alfred Borden

Definitely be up for this if there is room. two rounds would probably be the best number to go with with time constraints for everyone

Paully D

I won't be around at all for the week of March 10th so if we could make it the week after that would be great.

Ah won't be starting that early anyway. Free Agency not starting until March 11 so will need to let that progress for 2 weeks at least

Silver-Tiger

In again if room.

eagle eye

In for it if there is room left.

HigginsJ

Excellent response so far.

27 names so far signed up & oddly 28 votes cast in the pole!!

SimmerDean

sign me up please!

Paully D

The combine has finished, the vast majority of the main pro days have finished, free agency is all but done. In the words of Marvin Gaye:

HigginsJ

28 names signed up. We will give it until the end of the week to get 4 more names signed up. I'll then randomly generate the draft order & who people will be picking for.

Will we be doing 2 or 3 rounds? Think we should do four rounds due to all those Jets compensatory picks:P

I'll bet we're all waiting to see who we get - I know I am... Cause I know back to front inside out who I think my own team might be looking at - it will be interesting to try to review the needs of whatever team I draw...

SameOleJay

Interested if there's still room lads. Thanks for the effort.

If there's still a spot free I'll take it.

HigginsJ

Up to 30 now. If it's a tie between 2 or 3 rounds we will start with the aim to do 2 & see how we are getting on.

I'm more than happy to take two teams if we're stuck for numbers come the start.

Cool, we'll see what way things are Friday evening

In Exile

Count me in for one of the last spots


EDIT: Can someone tell me the idea behind it? We pick who we assume the team will pick and use the list then as a discussion? Is it a competition to see who gets the most correct picks or anything like that?

JaMarcusHustle

I'll gladly take one of the last 2 spots!:)
