I didn't notice you picked. I thought you were wondering if you were good to pick. It was my mistake.
@Willie = OTC @Underdog = on deck @Falcons Guy = in the hole @MaroonTyphoon = stop by when you can (several picks)
I'm not sure if I'm mistaken but I believe that list doesn't account for everyone that is naturally eligible, even in the NCAA. Just names they think will get drafted plus players that declared early.
If it is Carter, just know that he's actually a good person who simply likes to drive too fast. He's not really a punk at all. Case in point: when he found out the walk-ons were having to pay for lunch at the cafeteria (while the scholarship guys are covered), he started covering for some of them and pointed it out to his teammates with NIL money, who joined in. The players made sure that all of the walk-ons were covered, and Carter was the leader behind that. Even Todd McShay, who started a lot of the questionable character crap, came back and clarified that he busted his ass to come back from a high ankle sprain and help his team rather than shutting it down before moving on to go pro. His teammates all rave about him as a person and a leader. The only negative story on him is the accident, which happened in his rear view mirror.
With the 9th pick of the 1st Round Collab, The Chicago Bears Select Peter Skoronski, OL - Northwestern Also Receiving Votes: Jalen Carter, Darnell Wright
Also, I wasn't able to find a link to the NFL's list. The best I could do at the time was a site we all know well from once upon a time. At that point their list was 400 players. Now it's a little more. Since then I've found a list of 600 players, but I don't know if that one had been posted yet at the time I pulled my copy to make the spreadsheet, which was well before this mock started.
With the 10th pick of the 1st Round Collab, The Philadelphia Eagles Select Jalen Carter, DT - Georgia Also Receiving Votes: Nolan Smith, Devon Witherspoon
The Bears pick was the tightest by 2 players. Only 2 players got votes and the late votes that came in almost gave it to Carter.
1st Round Collab: 1) Carolina Panthers - Bryce Young, QB - Alabama 2) Houston Texans - CJ Stroud, QB - Ohio State 3) Arizona Cardinals - Will Anderson Jr., EDGE - Alabama 4) Indianapolis Colts - Will Levis, QB - Kentucky 5) Seattle Seahawks - Tyree Wilson, DE - Texas Tech 6) Detroit Lions - Christian Gonzalez, CB - Oregon 7) Las Vegas Raiders - Paris Johnson Jr., OT - Ohio State 8) Atlanta Falcons - Bijan Robinson, RB - Texas 9) Chicago Bears - Peter Skoronski, OL - Northwestern 10) Philadelphia Eagles - Jalen Carter, DT - Georgia 11) Tennessee Titans - 12) Houston Texans - 13) Green Bay Packers - 14) New England Patriots - 15) New York Jets - 16) Washington Commanders - 17) Pittsburgh Steelers - 18) Detroit Lions - 19) Tampa Bay Buccaneers - 20) Seattle Seahawks - 21) Los Angeles Chargers - 22) Baltimore Ravens - 23) Minnesota Vikings - 24) Jacksonville Jaguars - 25) New York Giants - 26) Dallas Cowboys - 27) Buffalo Bills - 28) Cincinnati Bengals - 29) New Orleans Saints - 30) Philadelphia Eagles - 31) Kansas City Chiefs - Anyone that wishes to vote, please DM me a pick for the Titans and 2 picks for the Texans. I will tabulate votes in the late morning before moving on to the next set of teams. Remember the Texans already drafted CJ Stroud.
I just checked a PM again. Darnell Wright got a vote that I attributed to Carter. So I edited that to fit it in.
Are you giving up on doing the Draft Value Challenge? If you're doing it, you should explain it and the rules for our new members really soon, as everyone would need to make their choices quickly.
We are doing it. I'm getting it set up. I tweaked a couple things in your spreadsheet so we can do it cleanly. Read bottom of round 7.
Actually we may just keep it simple and do it your simplified way but expand it. Mind PMing me with ideas how to improve/expand your version from last year?
I have added columns to the "Participants" tab of the spreadsheet for the first two UDFAs. We can obviously keep adding more columns as needed for more UDFAs tomorrow.
The iron man and the "regular" on the same page as it. We can probably expand the regular one so it isn't just one small snapshot of the draft.
