Pick your team draft game

[Seymour93]

We've done this the past few years, but I haven't seen anything so far this time around. How it works...

We have 32 participants... each picks their own team.

For example, I'll let someone else be the Pats, so I'll take the Cowboys at pick #22.

Then we let the draft flow out on one thread. Whoever is the Raiders starts things off, followed by poster X with the Lions, and so on. Simple.

You pick on the basis on team need and guys who you like or who you think will fit in best with their respective NFL franchise. Don't pick on the basis of "Hmmm how can I screw the Raiders or Jets?" or even "How will this pick give the Pats a leg up?"

I think a Sunday afternoon would be the best time to do this as it's the time we'd be able to have people ready to draft without work/family commitments getting in the way.

Also, I cannot remember, do we go more than one round? If so maybe we go to round 4 or we can do the whole thing. Let's see what the consensus is on this issue and then we'll decide.

What do you guys think?

BUMP...

I'll take the Patriots

[chunkypony]

I'll take Da Bears.

[SamBamsFan]

If we're doing multiple rounds then I'll take Atlanta. Hate their team but love where there picking. Plus it gives me a chance to dig out the old Little Feat albums.

I'll take the Broncos please.

But don't you think Sunday afternoons is prime for family conflicts? It's the offseason and I know my wife is aware of that fact. Sunday evening would be best, followed by Friday and Saturday evenings.

I would take the Minnesota Vikings.

I will take Mangina's team. Let the insidious green fester.

NYJets for me

btw--last year we suffered from absentee owners--we should limit this to 2 or 3 rounds, start at the beginning of April and allow X hrs per selection--starting at 30 minutes from the end of the time slot a quorum can be established by a minimum of 5 owners to determine a default pick for the team on the clock.

If we go 2 rounds, that would be 3 picks/day--pretty easy to meet that pace.
