Users need to make sure to PM me their top 3-5 if they wont be around all day.

If we go to a 6 hour clock, count me out. I cannot access from work. sorry. Please do what is best for the majority. I just did not want anyone to think I was not filling my end of the bargain.

Best,
Rick

How would this be determined, out of curiosity?

I dont like it. Some people lurk around here, yet dont feel like saying anything.

I would like to be a part of the invite only. I am here every day, multiple times. I just dont chime in on everything, so my post count is low.

It's pretty easy to tell who has been involved in this mock and who hasn't.

Yeah, it is. I wouldn't mind being apart of the post combine mock either.

I spent way too much time researching Buffalo's pick - then when #11 came around it was a no-brainer. LOL

That's usually how it happens.

Same thing happened to me when Maclin fell right into my lap.

I would be interested in a post combine mock.

I dont have the posts that some people have but I'm here several times a day.

And me when Mathew Stafford the top rated QB fell into my (SF) lap.

Do you mean "apart" as in far away from it or do you mean "a part" as in taking part?

Yeah, I did a bunch of research about needs and positions and things. And then it all went out the window when my pick came up.

Well, I was hoping that Moreno would fall all the way into my lap in the second round. I know that the Chiefs have LJ, but his production has went down drastically last year and his character is going to be questioned. He is facing possible suspension from his off the field issues and everything, but I just don't value a particular RB at this spot. I was considering Shonne Green, but he really only produced for one year and will be 25 his rookie year. I would like to get a few extra years out of a RB, and I feel the value will be there later in the draft. Instead, I decided to fix the horrid pass-rush. 10 sacks? Really? If I had my way, Dorsey would not have been drafted last year. I was calling bust then. However, I do not like a single DT in the top 3 rounds this year. This is a very poor DT class and I think Raji has bust written all over him. I narrowed my list of DE's down to three:

Paul Kruger, DE, Utah
Robert Ayers, DE, Tennessee
Lawrence Sidbury, DE, Richmond

Ayers comes from a defensive-rich conference and has come on strong late. He has had a great post-season circuit. Kruger I feel was more of the "big fish in a little pond" type player. I think he is an NFL player, I'm just not nearly as high on him as most of yall. Sidbury is a physical presence and has some of the best physical measurements of all the DE's in this years draft. He has experience getting to the QB and he has also had a great post-season circuit thus far against the top competition in the draft (more or less). It came down to Ayers and Sidbury, but I'm going to select Lawrence Sidbury from Richmond. I feel that his long arms will help him keep distance between OT's and that he has the potential to be a special DE. Sidbury put up more sacks this season (11.5) than Ayers did in his career (9). The Chiefs have gone with a youth movement and have taken projects early with someone like Alberts last year. The raw, unteachable, physical skill set is there, and you just can't pass that up in the NFL.

Interesting pick by the Chiefs. Earlier than I expected by about a round, but he should develop into a pass rush specialist.

Obviously multiple things will be taken into account like posts, length of time on this board, and participation in other mocks would be a big plus. Also people can vouch for others. A lurker can participate no problem.

Obviously I am not God and don't want to reject people from a group event, but for the sake of the 32 GM's who give a damn I think its necessary and this mock proves that.
