The Complete Sports Blogger's NFL Mock Draft Version 1.0
Wednesday, April 11, 2007
A lot of great things have happened at, or because of this site for me...Live-Blogs, Radio Interviews, Television, Print Media...but I'm pretty sure this will be the early leader in the clubhouse.
I introduce to you The Complete Sports Blogger's NFL Mock Draft Version 1.0!
(Here is a portion of the email I sent out to over 50 bloggers last night at around 10 pm.)

Well to my surprise just about everyone got involved, and within a matter of minutes. Here's how it's going to go down.......
Before the draft......Preparation and analysis will be key. Every single blog has the opportunity to trade their pick to another GM (Blog) if they so choose. For example....The Big Lead could trade the Falcons to me for the Patriots second pick in the first for.....well, basically anything. It could be a week's worth of posts.....a link on the site.....an add in a site's blogroll.....a free t-shirt.....you get the idea.
On Draft day......At an undisclosed location in downtown New York City (Email) each Sports Aficionado will step to the podium (hit reply in said email) and make their selection. Every single GM will be able to respond/heckle said pick (reply all button), and hilarity will ensue. Pretty simple right?
The audience (you the commenter) will then have an opportunity on Monday April 23rd and Tuesday April 24th to tell them why they were right or wrong. There will be 16 picks each day, and they will go up every 15 minutes starting at 12 noon.
For those of you not involved I'm sorry I couldn't get word to you. But there's still an opportunity for you! I'd like to have a whole new set of 32 Blogs do the 2nd round. Overkill? Probably, but who cares right??? It will be fun.....trust me. If you are interested email me at AwfulAnnouncing@gmail.com with 2nd Mock Draft as the subject because I get thousands of emails a day (actually because I'm lazy and Gmail search is very conducive to said laziness).
I hope you enjoy, and thanks to the jaw-dropping list below for your involvement.

Fantasy football? Boring.
In true Steeler fashion I am looking to trade up, so UM and Juice, let's talk.
As a maniac Dolphins fan I am *thrilled* to be representing the Bills.
Really.
jesus KSK only has 2 people in this??? And the ladies... have 4? The takeover is complete. MMP/UM Trade a post on the ladies... site for your pick.
MDG, the Ladies actually have 5....but who's counting?
DAMN YOU WOMAN! I missed holly and the colts. Stop taunting me with your sexy mysace.
I can watch those awful Jets picks all day...and laugh every time.
Su-weet! A mock draft I don't have to pay fitty to read...
TJ: I'll try.
I'm allowed to draft Mike Mamula and Bobby Hoying as a package deal, right?
holly what does it take for you to trade the colts to me in the mock draft ( i actually have a blog.... if a blog exists and no one reads it does it is there?)
question.
can we do a second round where other people get to go? come on its like everyone gets a trophy.
ill take colts second round (if this idea is approved which it won;t be.)
any chance I can get the NYJ for the second round?
Texas Gal, we should swap. I love me some cheese, and think about it - you could be the new Fuck Da Eagles girl.
I'm proposing a trade with Larry Brown: the #9 pick and legal advice for his Ki-Jana Carter jersey and the #18 pick
I could do some swappage, Sooze. Saints are my boys, anyway. Well, after the 'Boys.
Complete Sports? You're stealing my blog name! I'm gonna sue!! (just kidding)
I'm setting the odds at 6/5 that someone tries to pick a player who has already been taken.
i see j-reds 6/5 and raise it to 30/5.
Dr Doom....you can have a pick in the 2nd round if you want it. Just send me an email.
Same goes for everyone/anyone else.
I see your 30/5 (6/1) and raise it to 1000/1. Now I just have to screw up myself.
Sounds just dandy TexasGal.
Trading up in Pittsburgh? Is that like going from a 2 to a 4?
And a Dolphins fan drafting for the Bills? I call shenanigans.
With the trades and acquisitions made going into the draft, plus the bulk of the team that is carried over from last season, and the trades and draft picks made during the draft, it sure seems like the Pats are going to be the team to beat in the AFC this season, and perhaps in all of the NFL.
Considering the Pats were almost in the Superbowl last season with a pathetic receiving corps and that they've added very talented players into said receiving corps this season, barring some nasty injury(ies), they look to be the team to take it all.I say injury(ies) because I think they could survive an injury or two to some positions, but if they lost Brady they'd probably have a hard time recovering.
I wish I could say that the Redskins did well in the draft and/or in free agency but so many holes still exist that I'm not sure they'll be significantly better than last season. I suppose on face they should be if they can keep their corners healthy. With Landry (argh, hard to type that name as a Redskin!!) back there with a healthy secondary they might be able to cheat up more and put more pressure on opposing QBs. Might.
They still have what should be a lot of talent in the receiving positions, and Campbell should be better, but they don't have the quality on either line (offense or defense) that I wish they'd have, so it could be yet another year of .500 at best, or worse.
Still, the NFC East looks to be the NFC Least again this season. None of the teams there look like they'll be that good, and none really look ready to step up and take the division.
