Thanks for the question. Yes we did positions last year and I changed it in my example above to reflect that so it wasn’t as confusing. Please let me know if everything is clear now.

Hey everyone I turned this into the official discussion thread.

I linked the contest thread above (it’s currently locked) I will unlock it shortly.

Please keep discussions here and entries in the other thread.

What would Julian Okwara’s position be? DL correct?

From the contest thread:

Shouldn’t picking the right player in the incorrect round be worth something? And probably something more than the 1-point, “wrong player but right position in the correct draft location?”

Example: Say I predict Auburn S Smoke Monday in the 5th round, and the Lions actually take Smoke Monday but in the 6th round.

That’s not worth anything?

Yes he’s Edge and Edge is designated as a DL.

Here’s the scoring system (please see the official thread for the bonus structure)

5pts - For each correct player selected.
3pts - If you select the correct player in the correct draft location. (Location example = 2OA)
1pts - bonus if you select the wrong player but right position in the correct draft location.

So in your example you’d get 5pts for Smokey Monday but you would need to designate him as a DB not a S. (See rules for proper designations)

Can i change a pick?

Yep you can edit up to draft day when we lock it.

Ok. Im debating with the 1st pick

Not sure if the lions will take 3 players from the same school, but if they like team chemistry, why not.

Dammit, @BRICKLAYER . So much for my wild exclusive No. 2 pick.

It does make me wonder of the Lions like Walker’s ability to play inside or out. He could play outside on 1st and 2nd downs and then move inside with Levi on passing downs with JOK taking his spot outside on the passing downs.

Kind of kills two birds with one stone, negating the need to draft another 3 tech.

**** Attention Everyone ****

No one’s putting their tie breakers in. So if you tie and have no tie breakers you will lose the tie. Please add your tie breakers to your selections.

I guarantee you they do.

He can play the Brockers role moving forward and that’s exactly how I’d see us using him if we drafted him.

Problem I have with him is that he’s too much of a risk pick to take at 2OA but the Lions have access we do not and they could feel confident they can coach him up. But I just can’t see us drafting a guy at 2OA who is a project player. I think that’s what bad teams do. I would lose some confidence in our staff if they did it.

At 2OA there’s prospects on the board that aren’t a project. Why take the risk?
