Welcome to the 2016 Official Message Board Mock Draft. This is how we do it:
Eligibility:
You must take is seriously and be able to meet all given timelines and actively participate
Must be a “regular” Board Member in good standing
Our friends that are fans of other teams may participate as long as they meet the other requirements
I will limit the membership to no more than 16. If we get more I will solicit other long time participants to help me with the cuts. I will not GM a team if we reach 16 or more folks that wish to participate. It is not personal and feel free to organize an “unofficial’ mock (I will gladly participate); as we had them on the mothership from time to time.
Execution:
We will draft 3 rounds in 2 nights
If you are interested nominate yourself in this thread and list 3 teams you would like to draft for. I have always been able to give someone at least one of their desired, but I cannot promise. The deadline to nominate yourself is 4/8/2016 at Midnight EDT.
I will take the weekend to sort through and post the GM-team list on 4/10/2016
On 4/11/2016 a separate trade thread will be open, where teams can talk trades and then the trade window will open from 4/13/2016-4/16/2016
Big Boards will be due to me via PM on 4/21/2016. I will talk more on these later in the process
I will propose 3 different draft windows that we will vote on. I will list them by my preference, but I am here to serve.
Proposed Date 1) RD 1 4/26/2016………….2/27/2016 Trade Day……….RD 2 4/28/2016
Proposed Date 2) RD 1 4/25/2016………….2/26/2016 Trade Day……….RD 2 4/27/2016
Proposed Date 3) RD 1 4/22/2016………….4/23/2016 Trade Day……….RD 2 4/24/2016
**Vote in the Poll**
Bengals: Will be awarded to BengalHolic unless he declines; after all, if not for him we may not have a home
Positions Needed:
Trade Commish(s): I need two people to volunteer to validate trades. Only one must approve each trade, but they will each have veto power. If one is involved in a trade the other adjudicates and I will reserve the right to veto. If both are involved in a trade I will adjudicate and assistant Commish will veto. These people will be responsible to create/monitor the trade thread in this forum
Assistant Commish: I need 1 person that will pick up the ball should I drop it and possibly assume duties as Commish in the future.
Board Support: I need at least 2 people to create/facilitate various threads as needed, This will include a chat thread on draft night, a separate picks thread on draft night, and perhaps a couple more as needed.
If you are interested in helping PM me and I will announce positions as they are filled.
If you are a long time participant chime in and let me know if I have missed anything. Also feel free to post any thoughts ideas you have be you a regular or a first timer.
