Mike FF Today 607 Posted April 14, 2016 Darn I had rams as my trade up team I initially had the 49ers and was thinking about changing it to the Eagles. This trade is also going to have a significant impact on my player picks. Browns at No.2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted April 14, 2016 I initially had the 49ers and was thinking about changing it to the Eagles. This trade is also going to have a significant impact on my player picks. Browns at No.2? So do those questions now need to be answered for once the draft starts or they are free questions? Nevermind i see your post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
giraldi02 470 Posted April 14, 2016 I initially had the 49ers and was thinking about changing it to the Eagles. This trade is also going to have a significant impact on my player picks. Browns at No.2? I still think the Rams take Goff, thus not changing anything from the Browns' POV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike FF Today 607 Posted April 14, 2016 So do those questions now need to be answered for once the draft starts or they are free questions? Nevermind i see your post. Probably wouldn't be fair to change any questions after the contest has already been open. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike FF Today 607 Posted April 25, 2016 Here are my selections... for now... 1. QB Jared Goff2. QB Carson Wentz3. OL Laremy Tunsil4. DL Joey Bosa5. LB Myles Jack6. DB Jalen Ramsey7. DL DeForest Buckner8. RB Ezekiel Elliott9. DB Vernon Hargreaves10. OL Ronnie Stanley B1. Team to trade up: LARB2. Number of QB+WR+RB: 8B3. Titans trade the No.1 pick: YESB4. First team to draft a RB: MIAB5. QB Paxton Lynch taken in Rd. 1: YES The Chargers picks is a critical one. If they choose Jalen Ramsey (or someone else) that will start a bad domino effect.

Mike FF Today 607 Posted April 28, 2016 Probably the least confident I've been in this contest (as far as the picks 1-10 go). I've waffled on the Chargers selection all week, but I think I'm sticking with Tunsil. Also, not so sure, Paxton Lynch goes in Round 1. 1. QB Jared Goff2. QB Carson Wentz3. OL Laremy Tunsil4.

WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted April 29, 2016 whiffed bad by making a late change and having Bosa slide out of the top 10 based on needs. I have Goff (10) Wentz (10) Stanley (7)Elliot (10) Ramsey (10) Buckner (9) Tunsil (4) Jack (0) Hargreaves (8) Conklin (8) trade up: Rams (5) QB+WR+RB: 9 titans trade #1: yes (5) first team RB: Dallas (5) Paxton lynch rd 1: yes (5) if thats still the scoring system Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll try and get the contest scored tomorrow. Considering I had Tunsil at No.3 and didn't have DAL as the first team to take an RB, I don't think I'm going to crack the top half.

Mike FF Today 607 Posted April 29, 2016 OK, the preliminary results are posted. Check your scores. I'll likely wait a day to make them official in case anybody finds an issue with the scoring. 644 total entries. Looks like we have a tie at the top, and our Doug Orth (TheFootballGuru) finished third! (His entry won't be counted towards the prize payout.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike FF Today 607 Posted April 29, 2016 And the streak continues. LOL. I typically don't do well in this thing either. The keys were avoiding Laremy Tunsil and getting Zeke Elliott at No.4 while naming DAL as the first team to take a RB. I couldn't do any of those things.

shovelheadt 61 Posted May 2, 2016 60th. Tunsil didn't hit me as bad as some folks, but Zeke did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quickolas1 80 Posted May 2, 2016 T-24th. No t-shirt ScottRhule is the real winner... the only guy I see near the top with Bosa at #3. Basically no one saw that coming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shovelheadt 61 Posted May 3, 2016 And the streak continues. Ironically, I started at the bottom and worked my up looking for the first old school name I could recognize for the Mr Irrelevant award. At 450th...congrats! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
