Now you're just some QB that I used to know
Welcome to the 2015 Goon Draft!! The Combine has come and gone and now all we have left is speculation, and more speculation fueled by actual trades and FA signings that might slightly impact the draft strategy for some teams.

How it works: Sign up to become the pretend GM/owner/draftpicker for an NFL franchise. You will have a 24 hour window to choose your guy. If you don't have PM's, you need to list an e-mail so we can prompt you that its your turn. If you don't make your selection, at the end of the window, I will make it for you. You can designate someone you trust to make that decision for you if need be.

Trades allowed?: To make this easy and to make it so that things don't go batshit haywire, no trades. We will be going by the stated draft order. If for some reason a trade happens before we start our draft, then those picks will be adjusted. Once our draft starts though, the order will be locked.

So go ahead and claim your teams. First come first serve. The draft order is:

1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers wandler20
2. Tennessee Titans Metapod
3. Jacksonville Jaguars Forever_Peace
4. Oakland Raiders warcrimes
5. Washington Redskins MrLogan / Beer4TheBeerGod
6. New York Jets zimbomonkey

Also if you want to pick and don't care for what team (or your team is taken) let me know and I will assign you one later. Just take it seriously and don't pick a punter in the first or something.

If supplemental picks are out by the time we get to them, I will put them in. Again, no trades unless the two real teams agree to it before we start. So all these trades going on right now will be reflected in the order once we start. Chances are this will fizzle before the 5th round, but I am optimistic we can do three and will fly to each of your houses to ensure it at least goes for two. Once we start drafting, the order will be locked unless something crazy happens.

As for when we start, that should be soon. We still have 6 teams that need GM's: Titans (#2 pick!!), Washington, Jets, Bears (picks 5-7!!!), Texans (16), Cardinals (24) and Buffalo (no first round pick :(). We have three people who will manage any team, but I want to give people an extra day to sign up for their team. I will also manage a team if need be, so at the very least we need 3 more people to sign up. Once we have everyone assigned, I will make a separate thread for people to post their picks AND ONLY THEIR PICKS. All discussion will be in this thread. Once you post, you will state who is "on the clock" and send them a PM to let them know. You will have 24 hours to make the pick from the previous post. The first round tends to go pretty fast though. In previous years we have lifted the 24 hour rule on weekends. I am thinking of not doing that this year. If you foresee that being a problem for you, let me know and we can make exceptions if it comes up.

First two of you to claim the Bears or Cardinals win. Once you do that, we can start the draft. Since Bears aren't until [ick 7, I might throw up the OP tonight, and the clock will start once wandler20 makes his first pick.

No. If the team you are representing makes a trade in real life before we start drafting, then the order will change. So if the Broncos jettison Manning for a 1st and 2nd, then that would be reflected. No one on this board is allowed to make trades. Last time they did trades literally every pick was shifted around and I am sure as poo poo not tracking all that. Also, most trades involve future picks as well, so its kind of silly when there is literally no consequence to trading the next 4 years of 1st round picks to move up 10 spots.

Most of the major trades are out of the way, so we can start the first round soon. Will probably start it Sunday evening. Compensatory picks will be included, but they don't kick in until round 3 and there is no way we are going that fast.

I updated the Pick thread OP with the Round 2 pick order. Its almost completely different because there were a poo poo ton of tie-breakers last year.

It makes sense to shorten the time window as the rounds progress, and 12 hours really should be more than sufficient for someone to find time to make a pick.

How about for the 3rd round we move the speed of the picks up?

No. This draft is already far far faster than any we have had in the past. Last time I think we started at about the same time and didn't even finish round 2 by the time the actual draft started. Its going at a pretty good pace. If you have a job where you aren't glued to a computer all day, its not really fair. The draft is going to stay at the same speed. Its not someone agonizing over a pick for hours, its them realizing its their turn, taking 20 minutes or so to research or find a pick, and posting. Unless you want to give out phone numbers and such, there is really no effective way to make this go any faster.

Yeah I like Perriman's size but with Mallett's arm having a pure burner would open things up for Nuk and you'd get the occasional homerun

Plus it would be a WR from the U to fill the hole in my heart

Before the combine, a lot of people expected Dorsett to run the fastest time. If he had done that, then he would have absolutely gone in the 2nd, and some people were thinking late first before the Seahawks trade. Anyways, that pick isn't as big a reach as some are making it out to be. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets picked middle of the 2nd. Its definitely the high end of the spectrum though.

Picked for the Packers. Basically at this point if you don't get your pick posted in a timely manner you are drafting a guy from Florida. I could have gone punter, but waiting for the 5th at least to do that. Also, bad picture aside, the guy does have some decent upside and and will definitely be on an NFL roster, even as a backup simply because of his experience.
