2nd Annual WCG Mock Draft

by Adam T on Feb 12, 2007 12:28 PM CST in News

This site has come a long way since I attempted a mock draft last year and it ended up being about 5 guys who handled most of the picks.

We have about 4 times the readers and we should be able to do this without too many people picking twice. I don't plan to actually start the ball rolling on this until mid-March, but I would like to start working on locking in some names.

I have considered going outside and bringing in some names from other sites that I have had contact with, but my hope is to do this all within using only WCG people.

So, I am listing the draft order below. This is first come first serve. Please keep the team you want to draft for all in the comments section, so I don't have to worry about time stamp differences between here and my email.

What is required is the typical draft stuff, when it is your turn you draft for your team, give me the name, position and college and a reason why. The reason can be a few lines or a few paragraphs, that is up to you.

Of course the big prize is the Bears are open this year. Last year I took that pick, but since the SB blogs will be doing their own, I will opt out of this one.

1    Oakland Raiders (bears fan louie)
2    Detroit Lions (South Side Irish)

I will go back and look for it

You are grabbing the Bears I assume?

by Adam T on Feb 12, 2007 2:17 PM CST up reply actions

Here's the thing...

I would be honored to make the selection for the Bears. But I don't want to be a hog. If no one else is dying for it, sure! I don't want to be a total weasel about it.

I'll play

but i'm going to wait to see who's picked. I'll take the leftovers. Well, except the Raiders as I don't want to be forced to pass up Brady Quinn.

I'm in

I'll take me Seahawks.

I vote no...

I say Scruffy Lefty or Captain Morgan have first dibs over you.

by Chad @ Windy City Gridiron on Feb 12, 2007 8:49 PM CST up reply actions

Uh.

It's "first come first serve" not "the best bloggers get their first choice". Why do you guys hate me so much anyway?

Well,

You were rather discourteous to some fellow bloggers. I know you apologized but that was pretty low.

But I think you got me on a technicality.

by Chad @ Windy City Gridiron on Feb 13, 2007 1:02 AM CST up reply actions

I might be off my rocker

but I don't believe the Seahawks have a pick this year. I see on the list that it belongs to the Patriots. Am I overlooking their name?

by Adam T on Feb 13, 2007 7:24 AM CST up reply actions

Are we just doing first round?

by tyger1147 on Feb 13, 2007 8:39 AM CST up reply actions

Up to you

I was only planning one round, but if we clear the first round in time and you all want to go another, that is fine by me.

by Adam T on Feb 13, 2007 8:55 AM CST up reply actions

I would do it with or without Mr. Morgan

you can't call him Captain because we have a Captain Morgan on our site and it gets me all confused.

But we don't have a first round pick so if you did later rounds I am in.

Well actually if you want someone to take over a crappy team I would do it also.

Go Seahawks!!!

If you want to join

just pick a team. You are a semi-regular around here that is fine.

Go Seahawks!!!

by roach on Feb 13, 2007 7:49 AM CST reply actions

I'll take the Ravens. Just remind me when it starts getting close; I tend to forget small things like this.

by jrm78 on Feb 13, 2007 9:47 AM CST reply actions

raiders

i'm not sure what kindoff eligibility u want for this WCG. i dont post to much on here but i do read the site daily so id like to be involved if i could. the raiders have always been a fav of mine in the AFC so id like to have some fun at this and see if i could do a better job at fixing that organization that they have...

There are no requirements

If this gets you in the mix, then all the better.

by Adam T on Feb 13, 2007 1:01 PM CST up reply actions

Cardinals

by Hurricane Ditka on Feb 13, 2007 2:33 PM CST reply actions

If we only do 1 round...

I am glad to fill any gaps. But I won't do it for a second round. If we go more than one then I'm only taking the Bears.

by Chad @ Windy City Gridiron on Feb 13, 2007 2:58 PM CST reply actions

If you wouldn't mind WCG

I would take on the Texans for ya

Go Seahawks!!!

by Scruffy Lefty @ Windy City Gridiron on Feb 13, 2007 3:05 PM CST reply actions

Okay

I'll take the Falcons.

by Coach Owens @ Windy City Gridiron on Feb 13, 2007 5:12 PM CST reply actions

Let me

get the Lions.

by South Side Irish on Feb 13, 2007 5:38 PM CST reply actions

Is there anything worse...

Than the 31st pick? I mean the only team with a worse pick is the Super Bowl champs, so what do they care?

And I think that the draft order is total bunk. I don't care if you won the Super Bowl or went to it, it should be regular season victories and nothing else. If you go 9-7 and squeak into the playoffs, you should still draft ahead of anyone with a better record regardless if you win the Super Bowl or not.
