It's that time of year again. May as well get the ball rolling now. We'll start the draft on Monday, March 16th at noon central
Note: This thread is not for picking teams. We'll figure that out later. All we're doing now is the roll call. If you intend to participate this year, you must post in this thread to indicate you'd like to come back. Otherwise, your spot will be given to somebody on the waiting list.
Due to work constraints and scheduling, The Franchise will be unable to participate this year. We'll probably have a couple others who can't come back, so if you're interested in drafting, post in this thread to sign up and you'll be put on the wait list. Previous owners/participants have priority in getting slots filled.
If you have questions about how this thing works, first check out the rules in the OP of the stickied 2019 Mock Draft thread. If you still have questions, post them here. A rough explanation is that each poster is the GM of 2 teams, and you draft for each team like you would in the actual NFL draft. We include comp picks, and there are no trades allowed. It may seem like a lot of picks to account for, but you'd be surprised how smoothly this can roll along. We've always finished this thing with several days (sometimes weeks) to spare.

Do me, Rain Man, and kccrow have to do some kind of battle royale?
As long as it doesn't include some kind of American Ninja Warrior shit, like including backflips. My fat ass doesn't get off the ground well anymore. [Reply]
Tell you what, pugs. I just kind of Matt Moore this thing along. Most of us do. But if you want to Patrick Mahomes the CP Mock, I think most people would be fine with that.
What would you say to running this thing? You would start the official draft thread so that you can make edits. Pest, Franchise, and I are all draft forum mods, so we could also keep Matt Mooreing and updating OPs and the draft order.
You could then be in charge of the pick trades and all of that good stuff.
Provided the other owners are fine with this, of course. Maybe those of you who once did the alt mock can offer up your thoughts on how well this went? If there were problems, could they be easily fixable? [Reply]
I've long been a proponent of a draft ran with trades. I think it offers some sort of realism. The other edge of that sword is that you need to lock in the picks as they stand at the beginning. You can't award picks traded in reality later because it upsets whatever you do here.
I'd also monitor the trades follow the trade value chart and almost all trades in the 1st round add 100 points for reality. [Reply]

And probably leave players out of the trades, too. Because then salary cap shit has to be taken into account, and then we're encroaching on the territory of mock offseasons, not mock drafts. [Reply]

So... go reach out to people? We might even have to grab normies from the Lounge if it gets bad.
TambaBerry said he can do it if we need him. [Reply]
