I know the draft is close but I thought I would set up a little challenge for anyone who wanted to enter. Everyone that wants to enter should post their first round mock draft anytime before 12:00 on Saturday. It's simple: The person with the most correct picks wins. Here is the scoring system: 1 point per correct pick 2 points for correct picks after a trade: Example: The Lions and Redskins swap picks in the first round. If you are able to predict the Lions pick you get 2 points and if you are able to predict the Redskins pick you get 2. Basically you have to predict the trade and then the players selected 1 point per correctly selected player: Even if a trade is made that you don't predict you can get one point for choosing the correct player for a given team: Example: You don't predict the trade between the Lions and Redskins but get the Lions pick right anyway. If anyone wants to enter or has any question about the rules you can post everything in this thread. Start posting your mocks at any time and we will see if this catches on.
Im a little confused with the scoring, is it- - 1 point for every right player to a team - 2 points for every player to a team thats traded? or - 1 point for a player to the right number pick. - 2 points for every player to the right team and number.
If there is a trade and you predict both the trade and the player selected by the team you get two points for predicting both. Ex. The Redskins trade down and select Calvin Johnson. If you predicted the trade and predicted that they would select Calvin Johnson you will get two points. However, say you don't predict the trade but you had Calvin Johnson dropping down to the Redskins pick. You get one point because you predicted Calvin Johnson to the right team. You get one point for every right player to a team. The number a player is picked really makes no difference. It is more the team that drafts him.

Let the naysaying begin...
I'll play along: The TB and Detroit trade goes through, swapping picks in the first. 1. Raiders: Jamarcus Russell QB LSU – It seems inevitable at this point that he signs with them in the next few days. Davis seems to love his raw potential. 2. Tampa Bay: Calvin Johnson WR Ga. Tech – A guy they covet more than maybe any other team. Gruden would give his soul for this guy at his point. 3. Cleveland: Brady Quinn QB Notre Dame – Peterson would be the sexy pick here, but they need a franchise QB and they can get the guy who’s the #1 QB coming out (as far as current ability goes) in Quinn. 4. Detroit: Gaines Adams DE/OLB Clemson – They need a pass rush and get the player they wanted all along. 5. Arizona: Joe Thomas OT Wisconsin - Again, fills a huge need and makes too much sense here. A better overall package that Brick but a bit less of a stoic pass protector at this point, Thomas is still the #1 tackle in the draft. 6. Washington: Alan Branch DT Michigan - I don’t buy Branch falling and this guy could be a huge force in the middle for them. 7. Minnesota: LaRon Landry S LSU - Addresses their terrible pass D. 8. Atlanta: Jamaal Anderson DE Arkansas - J-Abe is made of glass and Patrick Kearney is gone. 9. Miami: Levi Brown OT Penn St. – A huge need, good value, same at it’s been thus far in this draft. 10. Houston: Adrian Peterson RB Oklahoma – Probably shouldn’t have fallen this far with his talent, but doesn’t match up well with any of the other top teams other than Cleveland and maybe Atlanta. Houston won’t make the same mistake again and will get a guy who will most likely be a better true running back in this league. 11. San Francisco: Patrick Willis ILB Ole Miss – San Fran’s made good strides but are still lacking some talent and Willis is basically J Vilma with prototypical size and is versatile enough to play any LB position for them. 12. Buffalo: Leon Hall CB Michigan – With Clements gone and Willis gone he pick before them, Buffalo fills what is a big need here with a guy who will likely be a decent #1 but not a true shutdown corner at the next level. 13. St. Louis: Amobi Okoye DT Louisville – At this point their whole D could use an upgrade and they have been said to love this guy. Will vastly help their pass rush overall. 14. Carolina: Greg Olsen TE Miami – With arguably the most talent on any team that didn’t make the playoffs, Carolina has no huge needs that present much of a value here, so they add another dimension to their offense with Olsen. 15. Pittsburgh: Darrelle Revis CB Pitt – With the probable turnover to the Cover-2, they grab the best corner available. 16. Green Bay: Reggie Nelson S Florida – A playmaker who was considered the #1 safety until Landry’s stellar combine. I’d pick Lynch here but apparently there are rumblings that they’re not enamored with him. 17. Jacksonville: Adam Carriker DE Nabraska – In need of a pass rusher and a safety, Nelson just came off the board and Carriker’s way too good a value here to pass up. 18. Cincinnati: Jon Beason LB Miami – A character guy and great athlete who fits since Odell Thurman and Brian Simmons are gone. 19. Tennessee: Ted Ginn Jr. WR OSU– A burner who will stretch the field so that Young will have room to air out his own legs. 20. NY Giants: Chris Houston CB Arkansas– After they had a terrible patchwork secondary here, they take the top corner who is the least sure thing, but has all the physical tools you look for in a shutdown corner. 21. Denver: Dwayne Jarrett WR USC– If their trade for CJ doesn't go through, this guy's basically CJ minus the tremendous speed. Huge with great hands, Jerrett will increase their Red Zone output to an almost exponential degree. 22. Dallas: Robert Meachem WR Tennessee– A guy true #1 potential who will add stability where there is uncertainty in TO and Terry Glenn's body. 23. Kansas City: Dwayne Bowe WR LSU– They’ve worked without a true #1 for years yet that time comes to an end here, where Bowe can be the whole package if he continues with what he had during his senior season. 24. New England: Paul Posluszny LB Penn St. – A high character guy who can come in to eventually replace their aging LB corps. 25. NY Jets: Justin Blalock G Texas – Explained below with the other Jets picks. 26. Philadelphia: Michael Griffin S Texas – Michael Lewis really blew last year and this guy can step right in and make an impact with his athleticism. 27. New Orleans: Justin Harrell DT Tennessee– For years they've wanted a difference maker up front and Harrell would've been top 15 had he not gotten hurt during the year. 28. New England: Brandon Meriweather S Miami – Versatile enough to play corner until Rodney Harrison gets kicked out of the league, this guy would be the #2 safety if it weren’t for that fight. 29. Baltimore: Anthony Spencer OLB/DE Perdue – Adalius Thomas is gone and this guy’s physical ability screams Adalius part II for whoever takes him, but is younger and would probably be cheaper. 30. San Diego: Anthony Gonzalez WR OSU – Their WR corps are below average so they get the next best guy in the draft class at the position. 31. Chicago: Ben Grubbs G Auburn – Grossman’s ass needs all the protection it can get and Grubbs is the most complete guard in the draft at this point. 32. Indianapolis: Lawrence Timmons LB Florida St.– A raw player who is already a very good football player and will replace Cato June to help their porus run defense.
This is only a first round draft so don't worry about round 2. That would take far too much time. I'm thinking that you shouldn't get anything for getting a trade correct because you didn't get any of the players right. But if you have another idea feel free to post it. My draft will be posted sometime tomorrow probably

Indianapolis - Reggie Nelson (FS) I projected no trades because who knows what's going to happen during the draft. I do think that Washington, Minnesota, San Francisco, Jacksonville, New England (twice), the Jets and Indianapolis will all seriously entertain the idea of trading down during the round. I was particularly pleased to see how lousy New England's choices were at 24 and 28. The wrong types of players (physical not intellectual and no Strong Safety or Inside Linebacker) were sitting there on both picks for them. I highly doubt they'll take David Harris, who fills a need, in the 1st due to his considerable injury history.
