Would I be a Parcells guy?
Just for fun, last year, I compared my GM league draft picks to the "real" NFL draft to see where I reached and where I was able to get a steal. In the end I wound up with this.
Since we don't all have the same amount of picks, the winner would be the player with the best average.
My net differential was -12, with 8 picks I averaged -1.5.
The Rules.
1. Minimum donation is $250. Your donation will go to the same "dummy" account set up for the league prize pool. Simply put your User name, Team name, and "Draft Guru" as the reason for the donation. http://www.finheaven.com/boardvb2/member.php?u=21927
2. Only those who have made a minimum donation of $250 are eligible for the prize. Please add a post to this thread when you have made your donation.
3. You must make this donation by Sunday April 22nd (a week before the NFL draft)
4. Your score is simple. If you drafted a player lower than he was drafted in the NFL, you receive a point for each spot he slipped in the GM draft. If you draft a player higher than he was drafted in the NFL, you lose a point for each spot. Add them all together and divide by the total number of picks you had. That is your score. The winner will be the GM with the best average score.
5. Each player is responsible for calculating their own score. The winner will have their score validated. You will have until May 5th to submit your score (one week after the NFL draft.)
6. If you draft an undrafted NFL player, his NFL pick will be #256, one spot after Mr. Irrelevant.
7. If you traded your draft pick, or acquired a rookie by trade, only the team that originally drafted the player may receive the score.
So I was thinking that we could do a side bet to see who the best "draft guru" GM is.2006 PANTHERS
