2008 GM Mock Draft! Sign-ups

PostPosted: Sat Oct 27, 2007 9:28 pm

I stole this idea off another site, basically this is THE 2008 NFL DRAFT! You get to be the GM of any team of your choice. You will sign up for teams and when all 32 teams (at 2 weeks, the remaining teams not signed up for will be simulated picks) are full the draft will begin. I'll base the draft order on current standings and who I feel are better teams. You will then draft players based on your team needs and the players left on the board.

More details to come later :wink:

Basically, this is the 2008 NFL draft where you are the GM. Once the teams are full the draft will begin.

This is how the draft will work:
I will order the draft based on the actual NFL records. The team with the worst record will get the first choice. So lets say the Dolphins are still winless when I start this. The 1st pick in the 2008 NFL Draft will be to the Dolphins. Whoever signed up for the Dolphins will then get the #1 overall draft pick. So lets say muy_thaiguy signed up for the Dolphins.

With his #1 overall pick he will:
A. Draft a player based on the Dolphins needs (Brian Brohm, Matt Ryan, John David Booty, etc.)
B. Trade away his draft pick

The time he will be OTC (on the clock) will be for 24 hours. So he will have 24 hours to PM me his draft pick or PM someone and offer them a trade. If a trade is reached he will PM me with the final trade details. At that point I will post in this thread (or in a new game thread) muy_Thaiguy's draft pick.

Next, lets say the Rams are also winless. Whoever is signed up for the Rams will then make their draft pick.



Make more sense?

Sounds interesting, so I'll be in. But given how I'm a little more than unexperienced with fantasy football, if all the slots fill up, you can replace me with someone else.

EDIT: Oh, and I'll take the Seahawks for my mom. She always roots for them and they never ever win.

I'm over the 49ers now. They officially suck... Yet I am still hoping and confident they can make the playoffs :lol:

And yeah, I'm hoping this will be sweet, but I'm not sure how many football fans are on these forums. Unlike the footballsfuture forum where everyone is a fan. Those GM Drafts are intense...

Right now, its mostly that their Defense doesn't even try any more they are so pissed with the offense. Did you see Walt Harris just jogging around during plays today? And their playcalling on offense has been horrible :cry:
