So pretty much just don't pick the Raiders and you'll have at least 5 picks to work with.

The trade thingy just seems to mess the mock up. IMHO

Oh too bad. As the newly appointed GM of the Indianapolis Colts, I was willing to consider trades for the #1 pick in the draft!

[Corrosion]

Take me off please ... Give the Rams to either Texan4Ever or Rmartin65.


I just dont have time to do the research and dont want to half ass it.

[srrono]

I'll take SD

I don't see any reason to disallow selection of the Giants at this point. Order can be updated after the SB. 11 spots left, unless we let someone take the Texans. I suggest we make the Raiders group selection because they only have 2 picks which are in the 5th and 6th round.

I good with all of this. No trades though, that will just get crazy for no good reason....I say we run the 1st round, see how everyone feels about that and then continue through round 3 or 4. I don't particularly want to go 7 rounds unless I'm getting paid by the Panthers!!!

I think you have to go several because it reveals the percieved strengths of the draft .

[pbat488]

i'll take the rams!

Agree with the no trades thing.

1 rd=LOL, if you truly feel this way you should drop out now.

This should be a comittment by all that have signed up. IMHO

[Shaft75]

I agree with not having any trades. We would all have to assemble war rooms and have friends to come over and work the phones. Just too much

I'll take two teams if I need to. But I'd like to take another that doesn't have many draft picks. Why not create a list of those dedicated enough to take two teams?

TWO TEAM LIST

1. Shaft75 - Falcons or Raiders
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

This happens every year. Then as it gets closer to the draft more fellow posters become interested, see the draft thread & think it would be cool to play, which should be a huge part since we are all in this to help our fellow Texan fans. If that becomes the case I would be willing to pull out. I've agreed to work with the boys on another mock joint venture exclusively Texans which is the only team I really care about anyway.

[Wolf6151]

I think we should have a person selecting for the Texans, not group selection. Group selection sounds like alot of debating back and forth with the potential to really slow the draft process. Whoevers in charge, draw a name from a hat from among us and let that person be the Texans GM.

[WolverineFan]

I'll take the Rams or Ravens.

I added Pbat488 and WolverineFan. There's a few teams left guys.

[Texan4Ever]

I wouldn't mind taking on two teams however, there are several board members that want to participate that don't get a chance so I think we should allow them to take part. Afterward, we should allow people to double up if we have teams remaining.

[steelbtexan]

If you need me to take 2 teams I can take the Cards or Jags as a 2nd team.

[kiwitexansfan]

In previous years one of two things happen.

After a couple of rounds people start to drop out and a hardcore group take a couple of teams and do it over again.

or

After a couple of rounds people drop out and the dedicated people take on extra teams and finish it off.

Either way, we all know that everyone signed up isn't committed to do the whole 7 rounds, while some are.

Does it come down to a question of letting someone make 2 picks and then we debate about someone taking that team over, or do we just give the extra teams to dedicated drafters now and cut out the fuss?

For this reason why don't we only do 4 rounds. The late round guys could go anywhere from 5th -7th rounds and aren't that important anyway, though they bring good depth.
