I am willing to throw my hat into the ring for a similar event on PackersHome.

If we could get 16 people together, each person could "adopt" one NFC team and one AFC team. Teams (with the exception of the "plum assignment," Green Bay) could be assigned on a first-come-first-served basis, with the Packers being awarded by lottery after everyone had picked their AFC team.

Perhaps we could even offer a prize to the person who selected the most correct picks for their team. :D

Sounds fun. Too bad there's not enough time this year but count me in next year! Of course who says we can't do this after the draft? I'd still have fun.

I was just thinking of doing it as a thread. Everyone checks it as regularly as possible and once it's your turn you make a pick. This might take longer and it'd be hard to stay in that mentality but it'd be hell of a lot easier to organize than getting everyone together for 8 hours on a Saturday.

Nice job Herr Gilbert. I don't know that many college players either.

Are we talking about just 1st round or all 7 rounds or what?

If just 1st round getting everyone together for an hour might do it unless some try to get too fancy with big trades and stuff.

with the 32 pick in the 2011 NFL Draft the Super Bowl XLV Champion Green Bay Packers trade it to the Oakland Raiders for first round pick in 2012 (two picks in the first round here we come... and one probably in the the top 16 and possibly in the top 10)

So could we get 4 or 8 people together for, say, four hours on Saturday and four hours on Sunday? Obviously, they would have to adopt 8 or 4 teams respectively, but I still think it could be fun.

I could definitely do it if it was just the 1st round. I think that's pretty realistic. My knowledge doesn't extend past the 2nd round really anyway.

I think the Packers will be just as good if not better trade partners at #32 as NE is at #33. It will cost virtually no more for a team to deal with GB one pick apart and there is always the chance NE could draft one of the remaining QB's themselves.

That might sound silly but is it really? I look at NE getting two picks in the 1st round which they can use to get some players they can use now and a Locker or Mallet at #33 to back up Brady and be their next guy.

NE is probably never going to draft low enough to get a top future QB so if Locker were to fall to them at #33 they have to ask themselves if it's not the time and place to make the move.

So I see teams calling GB first to see what they can do and then going to NE if they can't get something worked out. I will say if Williams is the best player left Ted Thompson would prefer to move out of the round and try to get anchored in low in the 2nd and 3rd.

Good draft though. Probably lucky if even one of these is right. There is so much going on during this thing there's no telling how it falls. I personally see all kinds of trades going on with teams trying to fill positions where they seriously fall short with no idea when or what FA will bring.
