We will use this as a discussion thread to keep the picks thread uncluttered. These threads will be used for the duration of the draft.
Once a team is on the clock, they will have two hours to make a selection. If a team goes on the clock after 4pm, their two-hour window will roll over to the next day. For example, if you go on the clock at 4:30pm, you will have until 9:30 am to make a selection. Picks may be made between 6pm and 9am if GMs are online and following the draft thread. The time limit only applies during the 9am to 6pm timeframe. If the two hour time limit expires, I will make a pick using any list that the GM for the team has sent me in advance (send lists to the email address in my profile) or in the absence of a list, I will use the GBN Big Board with a little discretion so as not make an obvious dumb pick (i.e. Kansas City won’t be taking a QB in the 1st round 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) the spot will be reassigned to one of the BBIers who have expressed an interest to fill the vacancy.
Please utilize the
BBI Mock Draft Spreadsheet . The spreadsheet contains the draft order (RD1-6) by team and GM with a fairly comprehensive list of prospects based on the GBN Big Board (as well as several other prospects that did not make the GBN Big Board). I will try to keep the spreadsheet and thread updated as often as possible… Good luck!
He definitely has all the traits to be a great pass rusher but also has shown the ability to cover tight ends. The only knock on him is his weight and he could stand to pack on another 10-15 pounds.
Gonna make a two player board and pick one of those two since Anakim (Chicago) is the only one in front of me.
No rush
I lack a 6th Round pick so my next pick will be my last before "UDFA" unless we add a 7th Round and even then I only have 1 pick in that round. That being said, I will stay around when I can to help Matt as this could not be accomplished without everything he does.
With 7 Rounds and "UDFA" it would be interesting to see some of the names that get unearthed. That being said, it is a lot of work for Matt so don't want to make it harder on him. I am also cognizant that if we do it one year people will want in future years where we don't have the benefit of people being stuck at home reading BBI.
But moreso, there tends to be less overlap between our respective boards at this point in the draft.
This is why we initiated the UDFA after RD6 of first come, first serve for your Top 5 players. 1) It doesn't obligate those whose boards are tapped out, and 2) it gives those who are interested to get in their deep sleepers.
If others want RD7, I have no issue with facilitating. Another option could be to simply increase the UDFA pool from 5 to say 7-8?

I am fine with boosting the number of UDFA's from 5 to 7 so those who want to participate can and we get more names especially since the Giants have multiple 7th Rounders and this exercise does help us know more names.
Thanks fellas. I was awake until minutes before Fatman picked. I'm 8 hours ahead of NY time. I literally passed out. Picks are in. I'm always around, so thanks again.
Thanks for understanding Matt. I had my picks ready, but my body literally shut down. It's been hard working online. I thought I could make it to Fatman's pick, but I knocked out without realizing it. The 8 hour time difference is a killer, but I'm around often, as you know per our emails. I pick again at 173 (last of three 5th rounders) and 185 (only 6th rounder). I'll be ready for both.
Thanks. The more I watched him the more I liked him. He moves really well for a guy's his size.
Could be an excellent complement to Saquon.
Apologies everyone for the delay earlier, got stuck in Zoom meetings.
A much welcomed distraction for me too, just 8 days ago a friend from my fantasy football league passed away. Just 34 years old, a really nice guy and talented. Brain aneurysm, just passed out suddenly and never came back. Anyway, don't mean to sour the draft, just a note that this has been fun, a huge thanks to Matt and I am game to go 7 if that's what people want.

Sorry for your loss, Andy.
The mock draft has been a welcome distraction from this lousy pandemic. With no new sports going on, this has been a good substitute. Thank you to all the managers who have made this possible and definitely, Matt G.
What are you talking about I said L'Jarius Sneed.
My bad guys! Thanks MadPlaid for paying attention as that could have been an issue.
