That's a good idea.

At our pace, there's no way we will be even close to finishing the 2nd round by the time the draft rolls around.

Can we at least give them Iupati or something remotely possible for the first round? It's really going to take the fun out of it if the mob picks just turn into jokes.

Agreed, let's schedule times for each team to pick. A schedule should speed things up, remove uncertainty if a pick window has come and gone, and help some folks calendar their time to get online to make their pick. Maybe we need to drop to 3 hours too.

Yeah, I just won't participate if it's going to turn into a huge joke. That wasn't the intent of this when it all started. I understand you can't predict everything that will happen, but drafting someone in the first round that will likely be an undrafted FA is ridiculous.

And, my vote if it is going to be changed is Iupati.

I have the Atlanta pick and will be waiting until we decide if the Steelers pick will stand

Give them Iupati

Mob picks only work if the mob doesn't act like idiots

Atl, go ahead and change the Steelers pick to reflect something realistic and make your pick

I will also join the bandwagon that if we are actually going to do this, lets pick up the pace. 3 freaking picks a day is ridiculous.

Iupati to the Steelers.

the Falcons are on the clock and willing to trade down for a later 1st rounder plus a 2nd rounder

I'm so sorry guys. Up here at tms and haven't been able to get Internet until just now. This is the first thing I checked when I got my iPhone charged. Haven't read the comments but I saw the pick and I'm cool with that. Sorry again.

Lupati that is...

no takers for the 19th selection. Brandon Graham to the Falcons.

Texans on the clock.

I've sent a PM to docbow regarding the Texans' 20th pick.

For tomorrow, let's institute the new time schedule:

Pick #20 - in by 10 AM
Pick #21 - in by 1 PM
Pick #22 - in by 5 PM
Pick #23 - in by 8 PM
Pick #24 - in by 11 PM

Once the time has passed, mob vote rules. If the person shows up before the next pick is in, a change can be made.

We really need to crank this up if we are going to get through the first few rounds by draft day.

Sorry B&C, I agree that there needs to be a set schedule, but if we go by the one posted by you I can't promise having my pick in. By 5 PM sure, but I don't plan on having computer access from the morning until late afternoon.

A better way of doing this would be to have a real LIVE draft where we could agree on a time and date and let people draft then. Just like a FF type of draft.

adjusted the times

There just has to be some sort of standard to go by or we end up with only 2 or 3 picks a day.

Sorry for the delay.. Work was busy yesterday and this morning. My pick is in.

I apologize for missing the last almost two days. Yesterday was my son's first trip to the zoo, and even if that didn't take a good portion of the day, I was exhausted afterward.

family > texags (sorry staff)

It was cool, kinda. I personally haven't been in almost ten years or so. But I wonder, how much of an effect does that kind of thing have on a 4.5 month old baby?

Patriots have selected Jermaine Gresham.

Green Bay is on the clock.

I guess we can open up mob vote for Green Bay's pick.

My vote is Sergio Kindle.

Eagle's pick here, I'm eastern time zone & need to be up at 6:00 in the morning, so it's bed time for me. I'll have my pick in first thing in the morning if the Packer's pick gets put in tonight.

Sounds good. I'll post the mob vote for the Packers if there's no pick by midnight and the Packers' GM will have until you put your pick in tomorrow to change it.

And the Green Bay Packers pick is in (Sergio Kindle, Texas)

The Eagles are now on the clock.

Eagles pick in, Devin McCourty

[This message has been edited by Varmintcong50 (edited 4/19/2010 7:58a).]

ravens pick Kareem Jackson. Cardinals are now on the clock.

Cowboys took Nate Allen.

I'd hope they would take Taylor Mays if he fell that far, but every indication out of Valley Ranch is that if Taylor falls to Dallas- they will trade out. I expect Dallas to either take the pure cover safety, Nate Allen - take Jared Odrick, DT from Penn State - Trade down like they do every year - or some reports have mentioned trading up a couple of spots for Dez. Who knows.

Chargers are up

They could trade down quite a ways and still ge Nate Allen. I'm sure some there will be teams willing to jump up, too.

Yep. I wouldn't be surprised to see another Cowboys/Browns trade. Browns apparently like McCoy and he may not be there in the 38th pick. McShay and Kiper both have said that the Browns have 5 Day 1 picks and would probably use that to trade up into the bottom of the 2nd round. Nate Allen would still be there at 38, imo. If Spears gets traded, then the pick may be Odrick instead though

chargers took odrick. I passed on mt. cody because i'm not convinced of his work ethic or his ability to stay in the league with his body in the shape it's in.

The Cardinals may be looking to trade into the top third of the 2nd round depending on who is available in exchange for our 2nd round pick (#58) and a 3rd round pick (#89).

Anyone potentially interested in dealing?

The Jets are on the clock.

Let's see if we can get the 1st round complete tonight.

The Buffalo Bills would like to move into the 30-35th pick by trading the 41st pick and Marshawn Lynch (if you consider him having 2nd/3rd round value, then the numbers work per the NFL Draft Pick value chart:

With the 29th Pick,
The New York Jets Select Everson Griffin, Defensive End, USC.

Minnesota is on the clock...

Hotard...you can have my pick (Vikings) for that deal IF you throw in a 5th rounder (even though we may not mock into the 5th).

Let me know ASAP, i'm on the clock.

I accept.

VIKINGS PICK TRADED TO HOTARD WITH ABOVE TERMS
