Announcing the BBV Community Mock Draft

by Ed Valentine on Apr 6, 2009 7:38 AM EDT in New York Giants News

If you have been around here a while, you know I don't like doing Mock Drafts. If you're new, now you know.

That said, I know many of you are 'draftniks,' love the mocks, love the conjecture leading up to the draft and love sharing your opinions.

So, we are going to do our Community Mock Draft.

It will work like this. One round, and you can participate by selecting the team you wish to draft for. Use the comments to tell me which team you want to represent. NOTE: I will make the Giants selection. I am nominating my pal 'Greek' to handle the Buffalo Bills, since he loves them. I am also handing the Indianapolis Colts to 'SBaker,' since he lives there and may very well be the original member of BBV.

So, sign up for your team below. Unless we are way short of people wanting to participate, I am only giving each of you one team. I will pick for any teams not represented by the end of today.

Once we have all the teams selected we will then start the draft. When it's time I will let you know how to get the picks to me. Below is the list of teams in order of how they will draft. You can see which ones are open.

We will see how this goes. We have never done one of these here at BBV. If it goes smoothly, maybe we will add a second round.

[Updated with some of the selectors. The board is starting to fill up, so if you want a team, grab one. Who will dare pick for the NFC East teams?]

Detroit Lions -- 'cjmulrain'
St. Louis Rams -- 'Woogie526'
Kansas City Chiefs -- 'jrs1940'

How long do we have to research etc.?

On that note, I’ll go with Spags new team. St louie

Well

I would like to do it fairly quickly. Once we start I would like to get 2-3 picks each day, to make sure we are done well before the real draft.

It's new for me

So, I’m sure it won’t be perfectly smooth. But, should be fun, and it’s something to do while we await Draft Day.

Alright

I just don’t want to screw up Spags’s fake pick :)

by Woogie526 on Apr 6, 2009 9:03 AM EDT up reply actions

Multiple picks..

What about the teams with 2 first rounders? Do we do both? That being said I’ll take the Dolphins since I’m down here in the Dirty Dirty of South Florida and have to fight with the fans wearing these Teal jerseys all the freaking time… Teal is a girls color right?

LOL

Well, that’s the first thing I had not thought about. My answer to that is ‘yes.’

I'll take the Niners

My brother is a niners fan. I know, it makes no sense. But if he was a Jets fan or like many NYers who aren’t Giants fans, a Cowboy fan, my family probably would have killed him.
SO if possible I’ll take SF.

by FreeBradshaw on Apr 6, 2009 8:54 AM EDT reply actions

Can I take the Eagles

and draft kickers with both of their first round picks? Nothing like a good 3-way kicker tryout in training camp to fire the team up for the season…

Just kidding. Actually, can I take the Lions? The thought of drafting for an 0-16 team with only 2 legit NFLers on the roster is intriguing to me.

You got 'em

I’m anxious to see which way you go with the No. 1 pick.

by Ed Valentine on Apr 6, 2009 11:27 AM EDT up reply actions

I'm gonna channel my inner Matt Millen

and go with Crabtree at the 1, and Harvin or Heyward-Bey with the 20th. We may not have a QB, an offensive line, or a defense, but damn those receivers will be impressive in the pregame workouts with the football throwing machine.

J/k. Any idea when we’ll be doing this, and do you want us to take who we think the team SHOULD pick or who we think they WILL pick?

CJ

I would say it’s our mock, so go with you think they ‘should’ take. e-mail your pick to bigblueview@gmail.com with BBV Mock Draft — Detroit Lions in the subject line. Write a couple sentences explaining it. I would love to get this started either tomorrow or Wednesday.

How long

Do we have after the pick before us is made to get ours in?

by Woogie526 on Apr 6, 2009 1:03 PM EDT up reply actions

I haven't figured that out yet

But, I would like to get a couple picks up every day since we have less than 32 days to the draft.

by Ed Valentine on Apr 6, 2009 1:34 PM EDT up reply actions

Ed

so we can start sending you our picks now?

by Bajaserge on Apr 6, 2009 2:47 PM EDT up reply actions

Damn I wanted the Lions!

Missed it by that much….

Ok, I will take the KC Chiefs

Sorry, jrs

Must be too busy worrying about that minor league sport you blog about. LOL!!

Interesting idea

I’ll take the Pats, since I live in NE and have to listen to their insanity daily.

by potroast on Apr 6, 2009 9:36 AM EDT reply actions

LOL

I live in NE too right now for college and the idiots who cover the Pats are relentless morons. Actually all the sports media in NE (aside from the Bruins coverage, they are pretty fair and knowledgeable I would say) is insane. The Celtics people are even worse than the Pats.

by FreeBradshaw on Apr 6, 2009 9:52 AM EDT up reply actions

Unfortunately

I don’t pay too much mind to hockey, so I don’t have much knowledge of Bruins coverage. The rest is just atrocious. If the NY media were such homers, the NY fans would pay absolutely no attention to them.
