Fantasy 2019 BigFooty NFL mock draft - sign-up and discussion

[Dixie Flatline]

Congratulations to the New England Patriots for winning the Vince Lombardi Trophy in an entertaining Super Bowl LIII. Commiserations to the Rams on their loss.

With the Super Bowl now done and dusted and free agency yet to arrive, it's that point in the year when NFL is probably at its most boring. So to help people deal with their need for NFL discussion, let's start up the BigFooty NFL mock draft for 2019 and encourage people to sign up and prepare.

[Monocle]

I am in again and will take the Patriots if that’s OK.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

As usual, if you're keen and willing to participate, please nominate your preferred club in this thread, and we'll sort things out as we go. If we need people to take on a second team, then we'll put the call out here.

 

[drd23]

In as usual. Happy to take a team that nobody else signs up for

 

[Chewy316]

I'm in for the Raiders.

 

[bgt2110]

I'll take the NY Giants and if a second team is required will be Texans.

 

[CasuallyDressed]

I'm in for the Colts.

 

[quotemokc]

In for Falcons

 

[fuey]

In, any team/s

 

[quotemokc]

Didn't we fail to complete the draft last year?

What pick did we get to?

 

[drd23]

We never "finish" the mock draft (if you define finish as completing all 7 rounds).

We got 3/4 through round 5 last year which feels about the same as previous

[CasuallyDressed]

Didn't we fail to complete the draft last year?

What pick did we get to?

I recall making a pick in the mid 100's and my knowledge is basically dead after 4 rounds anyway.

 

[quotemokc]

I would make the 6th and 7th rounds open ended.

Once the 5th round is over just let people make the picks for their team whenever they want.

Even if a player is chosen twice its fine, only one person can get the pick right anyway.

This way we can at least get the picks in.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

I'll take the Bucs this year please.

Want a sexy pick to splurge.

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

I'll take Cincinnati, where dreams go to die.

 

[Sven]

Vikings, as usual....

Happy to another team if someone else wants to draft for the Vikes

 

[catters078]

Any Cards fans here?

If not im keen to have a crack at pick 1

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

Any Cards fans here?

If not im keen to have a crack at pick 1

Is it possible to trade away Kliff Kingsbury?

 

[catters078]

Is it possible to trade away Kliff Kingsbury?

Surely packaging that with pick 1 will get a buyer from somewhere

 

[drd23]

Nah, you just need to do what we all know Kliff wants to do and trade away Rosen and take the midget #1 overall

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Doubt Keim allows it, after getting all those plaudits for "ripping off" the Raiders last year to move up.

Its the only positive feedback he's got on first round pick in the past 3 years.

 

[TCol]

In for Broncos

 

[GreyWind]

In for the Packers.
