Draft Day Challenge

by enut21 on Apr 27, 2007 1:36 PM PDT

[EDITOR'S NEW NOTE] - My general plan for the live blogging is the post below...In the meantime, I thought I'd move this back to the top so people can keep getting picks in.

[EDITOR'S NOTE] - I'm always up for a contest to get us through the offseason. Any thoughts on giving more value for later picks? Like maybe if you pick a player that gets drafted in the 4th round or later you get bonus points?

http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/story/2007/4/22/211328/772

I saw this on the cowboys blog and i'm gonna steal the idea. Pick 15 players who you think the 49ers are going to draft. Whoever gets the most right wins.

DT Alan Branch
ILB Patrick Willis
WR Robert Meachem
WR Jason Hill
WR Paul Williams
OT Ryan Harris
OT Mike Otto
RB Michael Bush
RB Brandon Jackson
DT Paul Soliai
DE Ika Alama-Francis
ILB Zak DeOssie
CB Eric Wright
S John Wendling
TE Matt Spaeth

Oh yeah

MEBANE is THE MAN.

I keep reliving the moment when Steve Young almost fell down... over and over...

We should.......

do 15 players (or less) for day one......then saturday night do another 15 (or less) guessing for day 2 so after day one we know which dirction the team is going.......

looking at most peoples' picks, they look like day 1 prospects

by Qbgetter13 on Apr 26, 2007 7:28 PM PDT up 0 recs

Organization

That's an option, but I'm not sure if everyone would be able to get those Day 2 picks in and some of the people's top 15s include an occasional round 4 guy which would be day 2.

After much deliberation

and the developement of a prototypical Niner Draft Matrix I have come up with the following list of players:

Adam Carriker DE
Ryan McBean DE/DT
Alan Branch DT
Antonio Johnson DT
Paul Soliai DT
Jay Moore DE/OLB
Patrick Willis ILB
Michael Johnson FS
Justin Blalock OG
James Marten OT
Ryan Harris OT
Kolby Smith RB
Craig Davis WR
Sidney Rice WR
Paul Williams WR

And that's my list. You'll notice that I don't have the Niners taking Bush, mostly because I think he'll get taken before the Niners get a chance.

Re: Editors notes

Well, its kind of hard to justify giving bonus points to 4th round selections. I know there is the potential for a ton of variance by the time that round comes along, but if a person picks enough potential "fourth round talent", the person then has four picks to hit on those picks.

Maybe I'm just nitpicking. Maybe I'm a little baffled by my selections, as it appears I've left out much of any talent that should go between the 4th and 6th rounds.

picks

I agree on the 4th round idea considering we have four 4th round picks. How about bonus points for getting a 5th and/or 6th round pick correct? Not many people will take those late guys because there is so much variance then, but it gives you an incentive to take a stab in the dark.

Blasphemy

Isn't it a little late in the game to change the rules?

by methodrampage on Apr 24, 2007 3:06 PM PDT up 0 recs

Rules

If we were playing for money or a prize yea...I have no problem making it just total # correct straight up. Doesn't bother me.

I'm just messing around

I don't care, take your long shorts I prefer to chip.

by methodrampage on Apr 24, 2007 3:16 PM PDT up 0 recs

long shorts?

I wear some cargo shorts sometimes, but other than that I haven't gone with long shorts since I was in like junior high.

Long shorts is an oxymoron like a game with no rules
