BBI Mock Draft Update

Matt G : 3/29/2015 3:55 pm
Our 2015 GMs are set (see below). Saos1n, yatqb, Modus Operandi and sjnyfan will fill three vacancies this year. 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) BlueManFu, BigBlueDownTheShore, odunde and uncledave will have priority to fill the vacancy. Also, those four will also have priority if interested in participating in next year’s draft. Similar to years past, I will start the Draft Selection and Discussion threads a few days prior just to get the rolling prior to the holiday weekend, but the clock will NOT officially start until Thursday, April 2nd at 9am.

I will do my best to keep the spreadsheet current throughout the 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. If possible, I will send GMs “friendly reminder” emails. I have linked this year’s BBI Mock Draft Spreadsheet and the most recent GBN Big Board (3/27) for your reference.

Again, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions, either post them here or email me.

Is the draft going to officially go on on Friday April 3rd, or is that a holiday for the draft? I'll be flying home to NY from Abu Dhabi.

Matt indicated on the Sign-up thread that since Friday, April 3 is considered a holiday to some people, that the clock would not be running that day. People are still free to make selections, but there won't be any time limit.

2015 style.
Thanks Mike and MadPlaid Β

What I'll do is email my list of players for the Dolphins. I pick 14th in Round #1. I'll set up a 14 player board and email it before I leave for my flight, and then let whoever can pick for me at the time (Matt G?), make the pick in my stead using that list as a guide. This way I won't lose my GM spot.

Does that sound good/ok?
this is awesome Β

isn't this a lot of pressure on Andy in Halifax?

conversely, if he has a better draft than Reese, how does Reese feel?
In Andy we trust Β

Well not really that long of a memory... I mention Andy taking Winslow every year... So that really is just one year of remembering and I have a calender reminder in my phone, my mom calls me every year to remind, my dog barks exactly 4 times to remind, and of course it's tattooed on my arm as a reminder.

Cool, as long as it isn't getting out of hand.

Exactly... It isn't like I am obsessive about it or anything. Not like I put a huge billboard outside his house... Hmmm wait... that isn't that bad of an idea

Some people might say putting up a billboard is going over the top, but not me. I like it when pointing out past failures is handled with a certain subtlety.
I wonder Β 
Mike in NY : 3/30/2015 5:36 pm : link
what NoGainDayne is going to do with his 5th Round pick.

Oh wait...

You do realize that Falcon's penalty is for the 2016 draft, right?
