START DATE AND TIME: Monday, March 23rd, noon central
RULES:
Spoiler!
1. 12 hours for each pick. Unless it's on the weekends.....then your clock can go **** itself.
2. Make sure that you have PMs turned on. After you make your selection, PM the next person up to let them know that they're on the clock. If you know that you aren't going to be on and able to make your selection, PM a list of your desired picks (in the order you want them) to someone else. You can send those to me, or some other poster you trust. Make sure the person who selects before you knows who to alert when your team is on the clock. If you miss your pick, you will be skipped and you'll have to make your pick as soon as you can. If you miss two consecutive picks, you lose your teams.
3. Format your selections as such: *Insert team name* selects Player Name, POS, School. Make sure they are bolded so that people can see them. You can add pictures and explanations if you'd like but they aren't required.
4. Do a search of the thread before you pick to make sure that the player hasn't been selected. If you pick a player that has already been drafted, you face the wrath of the entire thread and you'll have to correct it. So don't make a pick and then leave for 14 hours. Stick around and make sure that you didn't **** up.
5. I and everybody else who help operate this mock try to keep up on NFL offseason news while the draft is in session. We input the comp picks, and we're usually good about adjusting the order for any blockbuster trades that may occur where the previously made picks aren't affected, but sometimes we miss things. It may be a good idea to keep up-to-date on your team's offseason moves regarding their supply of draft picks and let us know if stuff comes up so we can make the changes to the draft order. No, in the end, the true order will likely not be 100% perfect or accurate, but shit happens when you do mocks a month before a draft starts.

Yea I don’t get it either. His 40 time was a blessing in disguise. He plays much faster than that. [Reply]
KurtCobain PM'd me his pick-- a draft strategy that I'm kind of shocked we have not been utilizing more often in this draft. This might be the first one? Damn...
The Indianapolis Colts select Colton McKivitz, OT, West Virginia [Reply]
He picks up the card from the Tampa table and walks to the podium, his sword swinging at his hip. He surveys the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he says. "The draft is about replacing aging talent with young talent. The draft keeps an NFL team young. In a way, the draft is a fountain of youth. I am Ponce de Leon, and with this knowledge my quest is complete."
"We have searched the known world for a young candidate, and we believe that we have found him in the unexplored reaches of the midwest, drinking from the fountain of Champaign."
"With the 194th pick in the NFL draft, and with the blessing of the Queen of Spain, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Oluwole Betiku, DE, Illinois." [Reply]
Tampa has now completed their draft, with the following bounty of new seafaring buccaneers.
1-14, Justin Herbert, QB, OR
2-45, Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin
3-76, Lucas Niang, RT, TCU
4-117, Amik Robertson, CB, Louisiana Tech
4-139, Leki Fotu, DT, Utah
5-161, Tyre Phillips, RT, Mississippi State
6-194, Oluwale Betiku, DE, Illinois
Coming into the draft, our main needs were running back, the right side of the offensive line, and a long-term quarterback. We're happy with how things turned out.
Herbert was an opportunity grab since we have an ancient starter. He'll sit for a year, but that's a good thing.
Taylor is a Week 1 starter, most likely.
Niang is a likely Week 1 starter, though Phillips will compete with him. Phillips will likely move in to right guard, though, where he's well suited to compete for the starting job.
Robertson was a luxury pick since we've got good young CBs on the roster, but we think he'll be a great slot corner in nickel and dime situations.
Fotu will move into the rotation with Vita Vea at nose tackle.
Betiku is purely a developmental pick. He's got the measurables of a first round guy, but he has no experience. We can afford to have him as a backup for a year or two to develop.
We had some secondary needs at TE and WR, but didn't find the right value in the right place. If Herbert hadn't been available, we likely would've gone OT in the first or second round and then grabbed a receiver later instead of a quarterback. But Herbert gives us a long term plan. [Reply]
Well done, Rain Man! We will miss your narratives.
The Pats are back on the clock and have four of the next 19 picks. This next pick is an area of need but is also a value pick. This is the kind of sneaky pick the Pats typically make that becomes a pain in the ass RB for other teams. I wouldn't mind it if the Chiefs pick him up.
The New England Patriots select Ke'Shawn Vaughn, RB, Vanderbilt [Reply]

I would gladly sacrifice to Rain Man a 7th round pick or two from Green Bay or Cleveland if it means we get more celebrities to announce draft picks [Reply]
