2013 BBI Mock Draft Sign-up Thread

Matt G : 3/1/2013 5:47 am
Alright, here we go again… I guess that I’m back for another year, so hopefully we can keep this year’s draft running as smoothly as possible. Since we had some success with it last year, once again, the draft will be five rounds. We are going to begin on Tuesday, April 2nd at 9am. The draft will run from 9am to 6pm Monday through Friday up until Thursday 4/25 (day of draft) or the completion of the 5th round.

Also, we are going to use the Google spreadsheet again this year. The spreadsheet will contain the draft order (RD1-5) by team (and GM) and a list of both available and taken prospects based on the GBN Big Board (as well as several other prospects that did not make the GBN Big Board). I will regularly update the spreadsheet throughout the draft. Please feel free to email me (mpgavigan@gmail.com) with any comments or suggestions.

GMs please confirm on this thread. Here is a list of last year’s participating GMs and those who have confirmed thus far.

He probably just missed the thread. I'll see if I can get his attention on a different thread.
I emailed him yesterday... Β

I also emailed CardinalX Β 
Matt G : 3/7/2013 8:55 am : link
But he hasn't been active in nearly two months... Hopefully, he is okay... Same with Sir-Yes-Sir (inactive since 1/14)...
Matt G - please add me to the wait list Β

If someone wouldn't mind flagging down the remaining GMs... Β 
Matt G : 3/11/2013 8:11 am : link
For a "yay" or "nay", I would appreciate it... The sooner we get all 32 GMs squared away, the sooner I can start prepping the spreadsheets, selection/discussion threads, etc...

Chicago – GMenLTS –
Kansas City – CardinalX –
New Orleans – OPEN
Tennessee – Sir-Yes-Sir –
Washington – Big Rick in FL –

GMenLTS - I've already tried to flag him down on a few different threads and I've emailed him... He's been a GM for three years and is very active on the site, so I would like to give him a chance to check in one way or another...
Big Rick in FL - Last year was first, and he missed a few picks, so I'm not sure if he plans to return... But he has been active as well...
CardinalX and Sir-Yes-Sir - Unfortunately, neither of these two very long time members have been active in the past two months, so it looks like KC and TEN will be up for grabs along with NO (vacated by Vin_Cuccs)...
I'm open to switching teams Β 
Giantology : 3/11/2013 9:32 am : link
to KC or TEN (thus vacating ATL)
MattG Β 
MadPlaid : 3/11/2013 9:39 am : link
Maybe you should do a "Call out" thread for each absent owner? We've done that in the past to remind random owners when their pick is over due.
Giantology Β 
Matt G : 3/11/2013 9:53 am : link
Sounds good... Once the openings are determined... I will give existing GMs the first crack at those openings before filling in the new GMs... Your preference is noted... Check back in over the next week or so and we will make the switch...
MadPlaid Β 
Matt G : 3/11/2013 9:54 am : link
Good idea... Will do...
Yes sir Β 
Big Rick in FL : 3/11/2013 10:01 am : link
I will be back!!!!
back Β 
GMenLTS : 3/11/2013 10:02 am : link
.
Wow Β 
MadPlaid : 3/11/2013 10:07 am : link
check out the results when you threaten a "call-out" thread!
Alright, I will officially give CardinalX and Sir-Yes-Sir Β 
Matt G : 3/11/2013 10:32 am : link
until the end of next week (3/22) to check-in, but given that neither have been active in the last two months, I think it is safe to plan accordingly... So if any existing GMs would like to switch teams, NO, KC and TEN are unofficially open... Giantology has already expressed an interest in KC or TEN which would leav ATL open... Please let me know...
Thanks for the advice, Madplaid Β

For Sir-Yes-Sir and CardinalX? SYS checked in over the weekend but missed the thread...

I'm stuck at the doctor's office all day... Thanks!
sorry...i'm late Β

This is assuming CardinalX doesn't check in by Friday... Β 
Matt G : 3/18/2013 10:56 pm : link
I also drew the names of people interested in filling the empty GM spots...

English Alaister gets the first choice of SEA (#56, #87, #123, #138, #158) or NO (#15, #75, #109, #144)
mrvax gets whichever team he passes on
YAJ2112 will be the first alternate to take over if a GM misses two consecutive picks without providing a prospect list or making some form of contact with me...

My apologies to anyone who expressed an interest, but didn't get a team... If you remain interested, please check in again next year and I will give you priority on any openings...

Nice to see EA get a team. Β 
Andy in Halifax : 3/19/2013 7:12 am : link
He's a phenomenal poster and did this draft for years. Glad to have him back.
dang, an alternate again Β 
YAJ2112 : 3/19/2013 8:55 am : link
just like when I was on jury duty
My apologies YAJ2112... Β 
Matt G : 3/19/2013 9:32 am : link
As I said, you will have first priority to fill any vacated GM spots during the Draft, so just check into the discussion thread so we know that you are active. Also, you will have priority (along with Vin_Cuccs) to fill any vacancies next year...
oh, no apologies necessary Matt Β 
YAJ2112 : 3/19/2013 9:38 am : link
there's only so many spots... besides, I ended up being called in to the real jury when I was just an alternate, so odds are good it'll happen again
English Alaister Β 
Matt G : 3/19/2013 9:38 am : link
Please check in and let us know your preference between NO and SEA...
bump for EA Β 
Matt G : 3/19/2013 11:18 am : link

CardinalX responded Β 
Matt G : 3/19/2013 12:18 pm : link
Unfortunately, he will be unable to return as GM this year... So, we officially have two new openings (SEA and NO)... I just emailed English Alaister with a request to make his decision... Once he chooses, I will post a new thread with final GMs and links to the preliminary Google spreadsheet...
Hi Β 
English Alaister : 3/19/2013 12:38 pm : link
Sorry for missing this and thanks for the note Matt. I will take Seattle please as I hate the Saints as much as any team outside the East.
YAJ Β 
English Alaister : 3/19/2013 12:43 pm : link
You're welcome to be director of college scouting with the Seahawks. We need to out-work the others and I am often out of the loop vs US time.

Andy - Thanks for the kind words. Feeling is mutual and good to be back.
Matt G Β 
NYG27 : 3/19/2013 1:28 pm : link
Sorry for the late notice, I was hoping to be able to do this as a nice distraction but my little girls pending heart surgery at the end of April is taking up all my available time. Please give out the Lions to any BBIer whose interested.

It's sad to leave this draft as I've been in it for 10+ years and even ran it for over 5 years but priorities come first. Hopefully there will be an open spot next year so I can return. Thanks.
No problem... Β 
Matt G : 3/19/2013 1:56 pm : link
I will update the other thread.
NYG27... At least there will be a few RBs this year ;o) Β 
Matt G : 3/19/2013 2:04 pm : link
All joking aside, my thoughts and prayers are with your daughter... I will put your name toward the front of the queue for next year's draft...
certainly not the way I wanted a spot Β 
YAJ2112 : 3/19/2013 2:37 pm : link
best of luck to you and your daughter NYG27
NYG27 Β 
MadPlaid : 3/19/2013 2:38 pm : link
All the best to you and yours. Your family is in my good thoughts.
