policy's mock draft, first take

Recommended Posts

As I've posted before, tomorrow I'm participating in a live mock draft contest sponsored by a local radio station. The grand prize is a big giant plasma TV; other prizes include a grill, custom NFL authentic jersey, etc. . . . so this has got to be right. The rules are, you pick 1-12. The players and slots are all that matter, what teams are picking at what slots don't count. So, accuracy, BPA, all of that comes way before trades or "clever" picks. Last year I was perfect until the Pats traded down, and I ended up with a framed set of Justin Verlander and Jeremy Bonderman rookie cards. :wacko: I'm looking to do a little better this year.

 

So, to the mock:

 

1 (Lions) Matthew Stafford QB Georgia

 

2 (Rams) Jason Smith OT Baylor

 

3 (Chiefs) Aaron Curry LB Wake Forest

 

4 (Seahawks) Mark Sanchez QB Southern Califoria

 

5 (Browns) Tyson Jackson DE LSU

 

6 (Bengals) Eugene Monroe OT Virginia

 

7 (Raiders) Jeremy Maclin WR Missouri

 

8 (Jaguars) Michael Crabtree WR Texas Tech

 

9 (Packers) B.J. Raji DT Boston College

 

10 (49ers) Brian Orakpo DE Texas

 

11 (Bills) Andre Smith OT Alabama

 

12 (Broncos) Aaron Maybin LB Penn State

 

 

Okay ladies and gents, what say you? I'm considering flip-flopping Jackson and Curry, and I'm also still torn about Crabtree to the Browns. I'm taking it on my own evaluation that the Rams take Smith over Monroe, and I'm kinda going BPA with the Jags at #8 . . . feel there'll be a trade there, but don't know for whom.

 

Peace

Sounds great and all, but Daddy's trying to save up for an addition (got 3 kids and a 1000 ft2 house). If my plasma ain't coming free, it ain't coming. That's why I need all of your input!

Cool contest. Best of luck. Any chance you can update the thread during the 1st 12 to see how you are sitting?

Sure thing. I won't know the official results until Monday morning, but I'll be able to post from my BlackBerry.

Do you know what other people have picked? If it is a public place I am a bit surprised itr would not be updated after every pick to let people know how you are doing compared to everyone else - That would a lot more intrigue to the whole thing.

 

Again good luck and started drawing up the plans to mount that bad a$$ plasma!!

No, they collect all the picks about a half-hour ahead of the commish kicking it off. Then it's basically a watch party with door prizes, etc. They're scored on Sunday, winners are notified on Monday.

 

You can tell by who's cheering who got what picks right . . .

 

I'm now thinking that 3-4-5 is going to be Jackson, Curry, Crabtree, and then Sanchez at 8 to the Skins or Jets . . .

Great Mock - Very, very close to mine. I have the same first 6 picks as you do but I have Crabtree and Maclin going 7, 8. I then have Orakpo going to the Packers with Raji slipping down to Denver at 12. I have Michael Oher going to SF at 10 and Andre Smith going to Buffalo as you do at 11.

 

Good luck! Papa needs a new TV!

Okay, here's the final mock I turned in:

 

1 (Lions) Matthew Stafford QB Georgia

 

2 (Rams) Jason Smith OT Baylor

 

3 (Chiefs) Tyson Jackson DE LSU

 

4 (Seahawks) Aaron Curry LB Wake Forest

 

5 (Browns) Michael Crabtree WR Texas Tech

 

6 (Bengals) Andre Smith OT Alabama

 

7 (Raiders) Jeremy Maclin WR Missouri

 

8 (???) Mark Sanchez QB Southern California

 

9 (Packers) B.J. Raji DT Boston College

 

10 (49ers) Eugene Monroe OT Virginia

 

11 (Bills) Brian Orakpo DE Texas

 

12 (Broncos) Aaron Maybin DE Penn State

 

13 (Redskins) Malcolm Jenkins CB Ohio State

 

Sanchez @ #5 definitely hurt; still, if the Raiders had not gone completely Al Davis and/or the Jags had taken Crabtree, it wouldn't have stung much. As it was, with the Raiders taking Heyward-Bey a round early, the Jags then snatching up Monroe, and then the Bills passing on Orakpo, My TV turned into a 4-way tie for second place. I lost all the coin tosses, and ended up with the fifth-place prize package. :wacko: I mean, tickets to both Lions preseason games, an MSU ballcap and T-shirt, a tape measure, a cordless screwdriver, and a drill bit set is nice and everything . . . but the second-place package was a grill, a custom Lions jersey, the same tickets, etc. . . . I was a pick or two away from my TV.

 

Thanks, fellas, for all the help; next year the damned TV is mine!

 

Peace
