2024 NFL Draft Game

[wilwhite]

#2 pick was... Jayden Daniels

Everybody but Clayton and Joe had him at #2 and got the max 240. Clayton and Joe had him at #3 and got 210 points and have to hope their #2s (Maye and McCarthy) don't fall much farther.

#3 pick was Drake Maye. Treff joins the club of having missed one, having him at #5, good for 168 points.

Clayton didn't have to wait long for his #2 pick to come correct, and gets 225 (of 240 for a #2 guess) for it. Joe has Maye at #4, giving him 195 as he still waits for his #2 McCarthy to hit the stage.

Everyone else is 3-for-3.

The Cardinals traded out of the #4 pick to a team that used it on JJ McCarthy.

Kidding. They took Marvin Harrison Jr. wilwhite and the smoking monkey join the ranks of the imperfect, both (along with Joe) having him at #5 for 180 while the other nine had him correctly at #4 and got the full 208.

Pick #5 is... Joe Alt! Which NOBODY got right. Chargers didn't even trade out, they just took him.

Five of us had a WR there and five others had a QB (because of a trade presumably). Only Smitty had an Oline guy there (Latham - more on him coming soon!)

Most of us had Alt at 7 and got 140 points for him, but Smitty and eaglesnut had him at 6 and got 165.

Ahh this is excruciating, I already know I was winning until I took out Penix.

 

[wilwhite]

Pick 6... Nabors to the Giants.

Harold, Clayton, Treff, Joe and Shaneman all nailed that pick for 176 points, moving them up.

And it cleaned up eaglesnut's top 6, who had him at 5 (swapped with Alt) and is now back on track. He gets 180 for having him at #5 (our higher guesses are worth more; he paid a 27-point price getting Alt off by one). Note that those who still have their high picks waiting can still get a bunch of points for them; just not as much as if they got them right.

Farthest off was wilwhite who had Nabors at #11 for 66 sad little points. Smitty falls out of the first-place tie (for now at least) by having him at #9 and getting 104.

Pick 7 is where it starts to get hairy... four of us (harold, shopson, joe and wilwhite) didn't have Latham at all.

Smitty had him higher - at 5 - and that ballsy pick nets him 168 and vaults him back to the top.

Treff wisely had him at #10 for 91 points, nut and clayton had him at #11 for 72, jwolt at #12 for 55, shaneman at #13 for 40, and monkey had him at #15 for a modest 16 points.

I took 3 players as gambles pretty high up and none of them made top 16 so I'm expecting last place here

I'm sad he went to a team where he won't start immediately, because all the Penix jokes will fall a little flat now. (Ha.)

Like can the O-line keep their Penix erect? Will he overperform and other teams have Penix envy? How's his character - is Penix a dick?

And... since he went before Bo, should it be Pre-Nix?

But I won't tell any of those jokes.

And I took him AND Nix out, so I get zip for him. Along with eaglesnut, shaneman, joe, shopson and monkey.

Smitty, jwolt, clayton and harold all had him at #13 for 44 points, and Treff snuck him in at #16 for 8 points.

And where the hell is McCarthy?

 

[wilwhite]

With the #9 pick the Bears take Romeo Odunze (which might be a Caleb-saving pick btw).

Everybody had him within four spots of that, and five of us (nut, shaneman, treff, joe and harold) had him right at 9, for 128 points.

jwolt had him highest at #5, stopping his slide for that pick at 144 points. shopson had him at #6 for 143, smitty at #7 for 140, clayton at #8 for 135, monkey at #11 for 84, and ww flubbed it putting him at #12 for 65 points.

[wilwhite]

McCarthy finally!


This is the first guy we all had going earlier than he went.

Biggest sigh of relief from joe who had him at #2 and now salvages 120 points for him.
Treff had him at #3: 126 points
ww and monkey had him #4: 130 points
shaneman, clayton, shopson and harold had him at #5: 132
jwolt had him at #6: 130 points
nut had him at #7: also 130 points
smitty had him closest at #8: 126 points

(The way this formula works out, having McCarthy at #5 gave you the most points for McCarthy, but it didn't give you the most points for #5. We all paid the price elsewhere.)

broncosmitty: 1675 (with 6 players waiting)
eaglesnut: 1603 (with 7 players waiting)
clayton: 1598 (with 6 players waiting)

averagejoe: 1405 (with 8 players waiting)
smokingmonkey: 1374 (with 7 players waiting)
wilwhite: 1301 (with 8 players waiting)

With the first ten picks off the board, Smitty is the only guy who saw nine of his top ten go, which explains his current lead.

 

[wilwhite]

#11 is Olumuyiwa Fashanu. Interestingly for someone so low, we were (almost) all close. Everybody had him in the 10-14 range - except clayton, who didn't have him at all.

As #10: harold and monkey for 105
Nailing it as #11: treff for 96
As #12: smitty for 75
As #13: eaglesnut and wilwhite for 56
As #14: shaneman, jwolt, joe and shopson for 39

Smitty maintaining a serious lead, which will get harder to match as available points drop.

eaglesnut, harold and Treff in a fight for second

wilwhite might have a lock on last place.

Man I dunno..nailing it should certainly count for more than not nailing it...hmmm

 

[wilwhite]

Man I dunno..nailing it should certainly count for more than not nailing it...hmmm

Higher picks have a higher multiplier... but maybe next time we can add a bonus for nailing it. (Like 20 if you nail it, then 15 for one off, 14 for two off, 13, 12... instead of 16, 15, 14, 13, 12 - and then the multiplier.)

I like that... gives a bonus for really working things out. Would have made the Odunze pick worth 120 for you.

Maybe I'll include that as alternate scoring at the end.

 

[Clayton]

I heard Olu had historically small hands and rough technique and I figured he was going to fall.
