Alright, here we go again… As always, I’m hoping to keep the draft running as smooth as possible and it can continue to be somewhat self-monitored by our tenured GMs.
We are going to start the clock on
Monday, April 5th at 9am. Most likely, I will post the thread the week prior on March 29th so we can get started “off the clock” during the holidays. Per usual, the draft will run from 9am to 6pm Monday through Friday until the start of the NFL Draft (Thursday, April 29th) or the completion of the 6th round.
We will continue to use the Google spreadsheet which contains the draft order (RD1-6) 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 do my best to regularly update the spreadsheet throughout the draft. Please feel free to email me with any comments or suggestions.
Returning and interested GMs please confirm on this thread. I maintain a waitlist of interested GMs, so if you have expressed an interest in the past and remain interested, please do so again. Here is a list of last year’s GMs and those who have confirmed (in bold) thus far:

Tentatively the open teams include:
Green Bay – OPEN
New Orleans – OPEN
LA Rams – OPEN
LA Chargers – OPEN
Detroit and Pittsburgh still tentative but may be on the table as well... Pretty sure we had no turnover the last two seasons, so this is the biggest turnover in quite some time
Still, Big Blue is my favorite team, and I will take this very seriously. I am open to listen to other's opinions on the subject. I'm not an expert or a big follower of college ball. I admit it, I'm not an authority. But I love to read up on draft prospects, and imagining who makes the best fit to a team and be a star. It's going to be fun, and I welcome all input. And, zingers are required when I mess up a selection. So bring it! Let's see what you got.
Also, I want it known that if Andy chooses to come back, I intend on offering him the opportunity to be the Giants GM again. Makes sense to me.
Anyway, looking forward to this opportunity, and I hope you like who I pick. Go Giants!

Done. Forgot that my earlier e-mail didn't specify the team.
As such the Chargers GM position is up for grabs.
Matt, thanks for running this, it's been a lot of fun over the past few years.
Congratulations. Babies are the greatest. You will be amazed how much you can love something when yours arrives. Best of luck to you.
Sorry you can't continue with the mock draft. Priorities are a good thing.
Cheers
My promise is to not rain shit down on the Giants pick. Never did it to Andy - won't to an adoptive brother either!
I think I had Washington that year. IIRC, my picks were garbage.As in, Robert Gallery and Will Poole were my good picks.

Don't beat yourself up. The only position I can sometimes hit is WR. In the Mock Drafts I have landed DeAndre Hopkins, Davante Adams, Michael Pittman, and Darius Slayton for the Ravens. Unfortunately they don't have much else around them!
How's that for sucking up to avoid abuse? :-)

Anytime I can avoid a poster running to the mods to threaten legal action and get a compliment in the process is a win-win!!

Waiting list has been open for a few years
Need your address too
New York Giants – MadPlaid

Detroit – superspynyg
FINALLY the Giants replaced Gettleman ;)
So Giants are free. It was a good run. If Sam Darnold ever works out I have built a pretty darned good team. Always best at drafting OL and Linebackers, so I'm the bizarro Giants.
Hoping Big Blue Blogger will end up taking the team but I know Matt will figure out the fair approach.
Cheers to all and a HUGE thank you to Matt for being amazing at running this every year. It has been 17 years of fun starting in 2003. Make sure to give Amtoft shit for me (and I'm counting on him to give it right back).
I must say how sad this is. I was really looking forward to Kyle Pitts being drafted in the 1st and that Penn State TE in the second! You will be missed Andy and I am sorry Covid has hit you and your family hard. I hope as we come out of this your businesses thrive! Ripping your bad picks was one of my favorite things to do. Your love of TEs knows no bounds and I concede you are the OL guru. Hope to have you back next year!
One of the nicest guys on this site is the Giants GM? How will I mustard the strength to be mean to such a nice guy.... hahaha can’t wait to see your picks!

I think you will find a way to push through.
Do your worst!!
BTW, "mustard?" I believe you are looking for the word muster. Mustard is lovely on a hot dog, not a MadPlaid.
Cheers

Depends what type of Mustard. I am partial to Spicy Brown Mustard or Grain Mustard.
In all seriousness, the simple thing with the Giants is that we never have enough picks to address all of our needs and if we don't address them all with every early pick someone will be angry and want you thrown out as Giants GM.
Yeah, I expect some heated opinions sent my way after my first couple picks. I'm a BPA kind of GM, so I may take someone everyone is going to want to barf about. At least I'm not a dick about it. I'm not planning to pick a punter to see how the site go nuclear. Tempted, but no.

Commissioner: "[Giants] first round selection...Fullback"
Audience: "oh no!"

Hey Matt, just confirming you saw my post in this thread and my emails. I sent it to the email in your profile
Thanks!

I'm with ya when it comes to mustard. Spicy brown or grain are my first choice. Although, Nance's hot mustard is very nice.
