2024 Draft First Round Scrabble

This was an idiotic game that I threw together last year to go along with the Draft Value Challenge just to give us something extra to track and laugh at while we sit through Round 1. @LAOJoe asked me to post it again. Here it is:





It's easy. All you do is pick four numbers from 1-32. That's it.

Your score will be the total Scrabble score for the names of the players taken with those picks. The scores will be based on the spellings as they are in the "Big Board" tab of the spreadsheet for the final mock draft, including any suffixes such as "Jr" or "III".

Try and figure out where the high scoring names will go if you like, or just pick four numbers at random. (I think I'll probably take mine from a fortune cookie.)

Enjoy the draft!

 

2, 4, 15, 28

 

3, 8, 13, 27

Torgo's entry: 29, 30, 31, 32.

 

And here are two fortune cookies that think they can beat us. Both of them have six "lucky numbers" with four of them in the 1-32 range.

 

THROW THEM ON THE LEADER BOARD!

 

Oh yes, they're in.

 

2, 3, 5, 32

 

2,3,11,32

 

11 vs 5 LET'S GO!

 

Oh shit! lol

 

Lol... one of the fortune cookies got Marvin Harrison, Jr and J.J. McCarthy.

The cookie is leading the field so far, but Willie is really close. The cookie has pick 21 remaining and Willie has pick 27.
