AE 2007 NFL Draft Competition

[CONS_SS]

This is a competition based on the upcoming 2007 NFL Draft, and if enough people participate I will offer a prize to the winner!

WINNERS PRIZE: 1 year BFSC membership - BigFooty Supporters Club.

I've chosen 10 players (listed at the bottom) and you have to predict what number they'll be chosen in the draft.

To determine the winner, see the following example:

Whoever has the LOWEST Difference Total will be the winner.

Of course all 10 players will be taken into account, and if there is a tie then whoever was closer for Player A wins. If there is still a tie, whoever was closer for Player B etc.

The NFL Draft is from April 28-29 and I'll be accepting selections until midday Friday April 27.

In an attempt to prevent the "blow-ins" from, well, "blowing-in" you must have posted on the bigfooty NFL board before today and after February 19, 2007 (two weeks after the Colts won the SB and the dust has settled, which hopefully has separated the true NFL fans from the rest). So don't even think about creating another BigFooty username to have multiple entries.

Here are the players:

A. (K) Mason Crosby
B. (DE) Ikaika Alama-Francis
C. (RB) Lorenzo Booker
D. (LB) Zak DeOssie
E. (QB) Troy Smith
F. (LB) Anthony Waters
G. (WR) Jason Hill
H. (DT) Paul Soliai
I. (OG) Manuel Ramirez
J. (CB) Jonathan Wade

OK post your selections here instead of PMing me like originally planned.

Don't even think about editing your post because when you submit your selections I will quote them as listed below:

Re: CONS_SS' 2007 NFL Draft competition

I will join in later. Mason Crosby is one guy i am very interested in seeing where he goes.

Re: CONS_SS' 2007 NFL Draft competition

I'll be in on that competition, CONS. You definitely selected a difficult group to predict.

I'll PM my selection after a bit of thinking.

Also, no need to offer money. Just doing it for the fun. If I win I wouldnt take your prizemoney anyway.

Knowing me, I'll come dead last anyway.

Re: CONS_SS' 2007 NFL Draft competition

What happens if they go undrafted?

I'm very confident all the players will be drafted, but if for some reason they dont then i'll simply remove them from the list and forget about them. (Until they get picked up as rookie free agents and.....well I'll let Woodson explain below:

Actually the original group of players I chose was probably more difficult but I had to change it because several of them were considered late round/undrafted prospects which would have stuffed up the comp.

I wasn't going to offer straight up cash, but a BigFooty membership (Chief will be happy depending on how many people join. And its more than likely I will offer this prize because there's still almost 2 weeks to go which is plenty of time for others to join in!

Am I eligible?

Yep!

Re: CONS_SS' 2007 NFL Draft competition

Sneaky buggers are posting their picks here then editing their posts!

This is unfair on those who did PM me and cant edit, so for those who post their tips here I will now quote them (see original post) so that there is no editing of posts after the deadline date! (midday Friday April 27)
