Title: First Ever Gridiron NFL Mock Draft!
Post by BarnabyWilde on Mar 2nd, 2003, 7:44pm
Well, my fellow Gridironers, it is time. Time for us to make our statement regarding the NFL Draft.  Here is how we will go about conducting our FIRST EVER NFL Mock Draft;  I will make the first pick.  Someone follows.  YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GO TWICE IN A ROW.  It would be preferable if you waited for, perhaps, at least two guys to go before going again.  Now, if YOU POST YOUR PICK AT THE SAME TIME AS SOMEONE ELSE, THE SECOND GUY SHOULD "REMOVE" HIS POST!!!  That is the gentlemanly thing to do.  FINALLY, JUST TRY TO FOLLOW THE SIMPLE FORMAT I USE.  IT WILL MAKE IT A LOT EASIER ON US ALL IF WE MAINTAIN A STANDARD FORMAT.

At any rate, I think this will help the furtherance of making "Huddles" become our trademark.  Moreover, this will provide us with another fun opportunity to get to know one another better and maybe bring a few more people in the fold in the process, so, calling all Gridironers, feel free to spread the word wherever possible. ;)

With that being said, let's make it a little simpler, and do this without trades. I know during April's draft teams will wheel and deal picks, but for the sake of simplicity, let's just go in the draft order as it is now:

1. Cincinnati
2. Detriot
3. Houston
4. Chicago
5. Dallas
6. Arizona
7. Minnesota
8. Jacksonville
9. Carolina
10. Baltimore
11. Seattle
12. St. Louis
13. Washington
14. New England (from Buffalo)
15. San Diego
16. Kansas City
17. New Orleans
18. New Orleans (from Miami)
19. New England
20. Denver
21. Cleveland
22. New York Jets
23. Atlanta
24. Indianapolis
25. New York Giants
26. San Francisco
27. Pittsburgh
28. Tennessee
29. Green Bay
30. Philadelphia
31. Oakland
32. Oakland (from Tampa Bay)

Please put commentary here to keep this thread clean...

Any thoughts?  Anybody gonna' make a pick here?  Should we abandon this one and start another, perhaps at the beginning of next week?  I, for one, kind of liked the idea of takin' this one deep.  Any chance of that happening?  I am going to go ahead and update the "commentary" thread, at any rate!

I think maybe it IS time to end this one.  9 of the last 11 picks have been made by either me or BW.  I think we should wait a couple weeks and have another one, or each of us submit our own mock draft and we can compile the results to come up with a composite "Gridiron" mock draft.

I am down with that!

I definitely think we should try again at the beginning of April.

Here is what I am down with...

"I think we should wait a couple weeks and have another one the first week of April (beginning of March, beginning of April, maybe that can be a 'Gridiron' thing), AND a week or so before draft day we start a new thread on which each of us (who are really knowledgable, i.e. not me :P ) independently submits his own mock draft and we can compile the results to come up with a composite 'Gridiron' mock draft."
