    Hopefully, I'm not stepping on any toes here

    Anyway, the mock draft last year was a great success and lots got involved

    We have lots of time now since it's February but I remember it got very rushed at the end last year

    Two rounds, sixty four picks. If people want to do three rounds that may work, whatever you think yourself

    If you're interested, just stick your name on this thread

    The list goes into www.random.org and you'll get your slots

    Just reply :)

    How does it work?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,225 ✭✭✭Chardee MacDennis


    each person takes a team and makes their pick in the official ordering of the 2012 draft afaik.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    We have twenty six GM's here :)

    Wonder if we can get an even thirty two, no point going over that figure


  • Registered Users Posts: 394 ✭✭Blured


    Count me in - sounds like a good laugh

    Not quite

    You get a numbered slot, well one for each round is the way it's looking
    But we do follow the ordering of the offical draft

    If we gave everyone a team sure the Browns and Bengals GMs gets lots of picks and the Raiders get none at all. People wouldn't sign up just to be told you've no picks

    So you might end up picking for two different teams here
    It worked last year :)
    And you might want to read up and learn about different teams needs, good way to learn before the real draft


  • Registered Users Posts: 947 ✭✭✭Silver-Tiger


    Yep, I'm in for this if there is room.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Can we get four more GM's and we'll have an even thirty two? :)

    We still have loads of time here but if you remember last year it was a mad rush to get round two finished


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,865 ✭✭✭Spongey1975


    If you need someone i'll do it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,249 ✭✭✭Stev_o

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,386 ✭✭✭✭DDC1990

    Okay thats 31 :) One more and we're Perfect !

    I would love to take part if you'll have me :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Trippie, you had signed up twice
    I like your enthusiasm :cool:

    List checked again and we have thirty

    Would be great if we get two more GM's, if you're interested then just put your name down and link to last years draft is in post one

    But even if we don't, I'll close this off at the end of the month, put it into www.random.org and you'll get your slots on March first

    How you pick is then up to you

    I'll give it a shot if theres a spot still but I've never done it before. If someone more knowledgable comes along feel free to replace me but I'll read up on how to give it a fair go?

    Cheers.

    It's pretty easy, just read up on your teams primary needs, and a little research on the top prospects in those positions and you'll be good to go.

    Hopefully you'll enjoy the draft that bit more having doe that little bit of research :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,172 ✭✭✭✭kmart6


    Count me in to round out the 32!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Well there we go

    All GM's are in

    We only had sixteen GM's last year so double the interest :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,286 ✭✭✭OAOB


    Fair play for getting this going Mike, really looking forward to it. I reckon out of 2rounds of drafting we'll get about 10 right:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,514 ✭✭✭BigBadRob83


    Yeah good going Mike, looking forward to getting my team.

    Depending on the team you get, can we swap with other guys to possibly get your own team or we just stick to team we're given?

    I haven't put up a list for Round two yet but you'll find your team easily on the internet, your numbered slot here will be the same


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Free to chat and discuss here :)

    The other thread is for selections only


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,139 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    are we only doing the one round or will we just use the same order for round 2?

    Also is it a bit early to start this as the draft is not till end of april. Also it might be an idea to give people some time to research team needs etc.

    Will we set a time limit on picks whereby if someone doesn't make a pick in a given time someone else makes it for them ...

    Edit never mind just read your post properly ...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,286 ✭✭✭OAOB


    Delighted with that, i got my own team.

    I don't think we should start too early. Should wait until after the majority of pro-days and also let free agency sort out a few team needs so that we can have a more accurate attempt at this.
    Just my opinion, if people want to start it now then ok


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,865 ✭✭✭Spongey1975


    off to a quick start. Pick made and took the obvious choice. :D
