Are we allowing trades in this one?
No, I mean the trades where the compensation hasn't been announced yet. There are a few still outstanding that haven't been announced yet.

Thanks for your support! 🍺😎👍
Are we allowing trades in this one?
Yeah. Trades make things difficult and people can try to pull off some crazy and unrealistic things.
I was just asking because someone proposed a trade with me. I was going to take it but I didn't think we were allowed to make trades.
We never do trades because it's too much to manage. Also, there are still a few picks outstanding due to conditional trades, so some of the draft order may change over the next few weeks.
If you guys are both OK with it, Mussop can have the Giants. Just let me know and I'll amend the spreadsheet.
Yeah, someone filtered on their name and it didn't show anyone else. It has been cleared. The icon at the top right of the ribbon that looks like the top-half of an hourglass is the filter button. Clicking it will turn off/on filters, and clicking it twice will clear/remove all filters, thus showing all the data.
I would love to have the giants.
^ Got it.
So just to remind everyone, we settled on a start date of Monday March 17, 2014. That will be a week after free agency opens, and I'm hoping that compensatory picks will be announced. If the compensatory picks are not announced, we will do the draft up to the end of the 3rd round and then decide to wait or keep going. If we don't have the picks by then, we may need to borrow someone's projections and work them into the draft as needed. Those comp picks will help some teams, so I'd like to have them.
This is NOT a sign up for the mock draft. Just a thread to start discussing when we want to do it, and to give everyone a heads up well in advance so when the time comes to sign up they aren't left out because they didnt see the signup.
The NFL Combine is February 22-25 and the NFL Draft is May 8th. I suggest waiting until after the combine to do our draft. I think it goes without saying, but if you choose to participate you should know more than just round 1 prospects, and be available everyday to update your "big board" or make a selection. If we want to take the slow, let everyone have a day to pick approach, then we would need to start in February before the combine.
What are everyone's thoughts/concerns?
Monday AM. Sometime after 7am CST.
Is there any way we can post the selection rules where everyone can easily find them?
It gets irritating when people miss their pick and throw the whole thing off.
RULES:
NO TRADES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Start: Monday, March 17th, 07:00am.
Teams: All Assigned.
Rounds: This is a 7 round mock.
CLOCK RULES:
Your clock time starts when the team in front of you makes a pick. Unless it was made while the clock is not running. In that case it will start at 7AM of the following weekday morning. You may pick at nights or on weekends if your team is on the clock.
Clock Only runs from 7AM-9PM

Unavailable, proxy or MIA:
1.) If you miss a single pick, the rest of your teams draft will be a group pick.
2.) If you know you will be gone for awhile and might miss your pick, PM your top X players to myself or another member of this mock. They will make a proxy pick for you. JUST FREAKING DO IT!
Just here to say I will have to rely on the group to proxy a bit.
The clock runs from about 1am to 3pm New Zealand time.

Once 700 AM rolls around I am generally in a meeting.
If yall wanna just expedite this, I'm sure about 90% of yall know who I am going to pick and that hasn't changed.
I'd be okay with you posting it before 7AM or even on Sunday night. Whatever time is convenient for you would be just fine with me.

With the first pick in the 2014 NFL Draft the Houston Texans select... Shlake Shortles. Siiikkeee. They take my man Teddy Bridgewater. Look at the 100 pages in the TB thread if you want an explanation on this one.
Not sure teddy has Texans character....

Having gone back and watched more videos specifically on his arm, he looks to me like a QB who is choosing his loft for the situation rather than a QB with an "acceptable" arm who is lofting the ball to make the distance.
