BBI Mock Draft Update

Matt G : 3/29/2014 8:34 am
Our 2014 GMs are set. NJGiantFan84, uconngiant and Anakim will fill three vacancies this year (Anakim, you still owe me an email address). If a GM misses two consecutive picks without providing a prospect list or making some form of contact with me (email or posting on the draft thread) Saos1n and Yatqb will have priority to fill the vacancy. Otherwise, the spot will be reassigned to one of the BBIers that didn't get into the draft but were active in the draft discussion thread.

Similar to years past, I may start the Draft Selection and Discussion threads a few days prior just to get the ball rolling , but the clock will NOT officially start until Thursday, April 17th at 9am.

Once again, this year’s draft falls at a less than ideal time for me, so I may not be quite as active particularly in Week 2-3 of the Draft. I will try to keep the spreadsheet current throughout each day and be around to make any final decisions on auto-selections from the GBN Big Board. That being said, in my absence, if a few of our more active GMs wouldn’t mind keeping the Selection thread current (every 8-10 picks or so) and starting callout threads for GMs who may not know that they are on the clock (1 hour elapsed is a good time to start one), I would GREATLY appreciate it. At the very least, I will make sure that all selections on the spreadsheet and the selection thread are current at the end of each day. As I have time, I will send GM’s “friendly reminder” emails though I may not be able to do so as often as years past.

*Note: I have linked this year’s BBI Mock Draft Spreadsheet and the most recent GBN Big Board (3/4) for your reference. Just remember they are likely to be updated before the start of the Draft.

Again, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions, either post them here or email me at mpgavigan@gmail.com

Who was Jon in NYC sparring with last year during the draft?  
Optimus-NY : 3/29/2014 9:22 am : link
The Wisconsin and Cal debate over the Centers---Travis Frederick vs. Brian Schwenke.
Thanks again for the good work...  
Chris in Philly : 3/29/2014 9:29 am : link

Amtoft
Thank you, Matt

This is going to be fun.

CiP - Totally. :-)
Thanks Jon. My memory is terrible.  
Optimus-NY : 3/30/2014 5:13 am : link
Must be the herb, lol. That was some funny shit between you and Amtoft last year. Let the trash talk begin again!
Just e-mailed you, Matt  
Anakim : 3/30/2014 2:55 pm : link

I sent it to the e-mail you listed on your profile

Only shitty thing about the Jon Amtoft feud  
Andy in Halifax : 4/1/2014 1:28 pm : link
was that they both seemed to be right. Frederick and Schwenke looked pretty good as rookies. If only Marc Ross could draft Oline like me: Solder Iupati Frederick Unger

You could throw James "cross legged" Brewer out at RT and it would still be the best Oline in the league. It does look like Konz is a blemish on my record though.

Thanks, Matt. Looking forward to taking part in this again.
Andy  
MadPlaid : 4/1/2014 1:43 pm : link
The cool thing about that fight was it convinced me that Schwenke was worth my 3rd round pick. If GB listened to me, then they would be in pretty good shape right now at C.
Okay, who at the top of the draft is ready to trade with Detroit  
YAJ2112 : 4/1/2014 1:46 pm : link
we will give you Stafford plus our first pick for your pick. Need to make sure we get to the top so we can take AJ McCarron. We feel he is this year's Jimmy Clausen, and will surely turn the Lions into perennial winners.
Glad  
NJGiantFan84 : 4/1/2014 2:04 pm : link
to be aboard and I hope I don't disappoint.

Quick question: How much time is alotted between picks?

Actually no I wasn't right... Or half right as Schwenke is legit and was a steal last year. I said Frederick would suck and wouldn't be drafted in the second like some predicted... Not going to try and say I was right since he went in the 1st and I think I said 4th. I also said he would be the 3rd center taken at best. Also said he was the third smartest center behind Jones and Schwenke right before he posted the highest wonderlic test of the 3 (all very smart players). No matter who becomes the better pro or the fact that Jerry Jones is an idiot as a GM with a reach of Frederick... I fully admit that Jon was correct while I was wrong and he won that argument on draft day by far.

Well of course... I got you a puppy... I mean a surprise!
Agree with YAJ  
Andy in Halifax : 4/1/2014 2:18 pm : link
There's something special about McCarron. He just wins. He's a winner.
McCarron's girl friend is cute too

Musberger said so.

So did Ken Dorsey, Colt McCoy, Tim Tebow, Kellen Moore, etc... Winning isn't everything. I am not sold on him at all, but a guy I like in the 4th or 5th round is QB David Fales from San Jose State. Super under rated guy.

Two hours... Clock runs M-F 9am to 6pm...
With a name like Fales

what could possibly go wrong?
Spreadsheet updated with latest (4/2) GBN Big Board...  
Matt G : 4/5/2014 9:21 am : link
Not sure if Colin plans to update the Big Board again, but the BBI Mock Draft will be based on the version as of 4/2...
Thanks, Matt

We would have been well underway by now

ditto

I am really looking forward to BBI's mock draft. I've been prepping for it for months.
Selection and Discussion threads will go up tonight or tomorrow...  
Matt G : 4/12/2014 3:57 pm : link
Clock won't officially start until this Thursday at 9AM, but I want to get the ball rolling through the RD1 without any major snafus on my end due to work... Over the last few years, we've started 2-3 days "off the clock" but I would like the extra day or two this year... If anyone has any concerns/objections feel free to let me know...
I wonder  
Mike in NY : 4/12/2014 4:31 pm : link
who the Washington <Insert Name> will take with the 2nd Overall selection...oh wait
