Welcome to the 2017 OFFICIAL Message Board Mock Draft. This is how we do it:
Eligibility:
You must take is seriously and be able to meet all given timelines and actively participate
Must be a “regular” Board Member in good standing
Our friends that are fans of other teams may participate as long as they meet the other requirements.
Our goal is to have maximum participation. If you are an old timer or relatively new, you are welcome, we always have a good time and you get to talk draft with some folks that know what they're talking about (well maybe not everybody).
Execution:
We will draft 3 rounds in 2 nights
If you are interested nominate yourself in this thread and list 3 teams you would like to draft for. I have always been able to give someone at least one of their desired, but I cannot promise. The deadline to nominate yourself is 4/7/2016 at Midnight EDT.
I will take the weekend to sort through and post the GM-team list on 4/10/2017
On 4/11/2017 a separate trade thread will be open, where teams can talk trades and then the trade window will open from 4/13/2017-4/16/2018
We will not do Big Boards this year. If you are not present I will give your team(s) to someone else or we will make it a consensus pick
I propose 3 different draft windows that we will vote on. I have no preference:
OPTION A) RD 1 4/21/2017 (Fri)…………. Trade Day 4/22/2017 (Sat) ……….RD 2-3 4/23/2017
OPTION B) RD 1 4/18/2017 (Tues)………….Trade Day 4/19/2017(Wed)……….RD 2-3 4/20/2017(Thurs)
OPTION C) RD 1 4/24/2017 (Mon)………….Trade Day 4/25/2017 (Tues)……….RD 2-3 4/26/2017 (Wed)
**Vote in the Poll**
Bengals: BengalHolic owned them last year and by tradition he determines who gets them this year. How he does it is entirely up to him. But he must give them up
Positions Needed:
Trade Commish(s): I need two people to volunteer to validate trades. Only one must approve each trade, but they will each have veto power. If one is involved in a trade the other adjudicates and I will reserve the right to veto. If both are involved in a trade I will adjudicate and assistant Commish will veto. These people will be responsible to create/monitor the trade thread in this forum
Assistant Commish: I need 1 person that will pick up the ball should I drop it and possibly assume duties as Commish in the future. CinnWillWin did this admirably last year as a last minute trip to Nashville took me out of day 2
Board Support: I need at least 2 people to create/facilitate various threads as needed, This will include a chat thread on draft night, a separate picks thread on draft night, and perhaps a couple more as needed.
If you are interested in helping PM me and I will announce positions as they are filled.
If you are a long time participant chime in and let me know if I have missed anything. Also feel free to post any thoughts ideas you have be you a regular or a first timer.
