.
Greek nailed the first three picks in succession, aside from the round 1 trade up. That was enough to hold off a dramatic loss to a late charging SteelDrama and Forty Three.


Runner Up
@Forty Three - 11 points

Round 1, Pick 17. | Broderick Jones - OT - Georgia. . +4
Round 2, Pick 32 | Keeanu Benton - DL - Wisconsin. . . +4
Round 2, Pick 49. | Tyrique Stevenson - CB - Miami
Round 3, Pick 80. | Nick Herbig - LB - Wisconsin. . . +3
Round 4, Pick 120. | Jayden Reed - WR - Michigan State
Round 7, Pick 241 | Daniel Scott - S - Cal
Round 7, Pick 251 | Tyson Bagent - QB - Shepherd
Bonus: Jonathan Mingo
Bonus: Bryce Ford-Wheaton
Tiebreaker: what draft slot will Parker Washington be selected? 118

Forty Three got three selections correct, but missed the draft slot on all three. If for any reason the champion cannot fit into a Casey Hampton jersey, you will be crowned our winner.


Runner Upper to the runner up
@Steeldrama - 11 points

1.) Darnell Wright OT Tennessee
2.) Deonte Banks CB Maryland
2B.) Trenton Simpson LB Clemson
3.) Keeanu Benton DT Wisconsin. . . +3
4.) Nick Herbig EDGE WIsconsin . . +4
7.) Robert Beal EDGE Georgia
7.) Tanner Ingle S NC State

Bonus: Joey Porter Jr CB Penn St. . . +2
Bonus: Broderick Jones OT Georgia.. . +2
Parker Washington = pick 94

Drama made it interesting racking up points in the middle rounds ultimately getting four picks right, but fell a little short.



Honorable Mention
@Mick - 10 point entry

1.17 Broderick Jones, OT, Georgia. . +4
2.32 Julius Brents, CB, Kansas St.
2.47 Keeanu Benton, DL, Wisconsin . . +4
3.80 Dorian Williams, LB, Tulane
4.120 Jonathan Mingo, WR, Mississippi
7.241 Clayton Tune, QB, Houston
7.251 Tanner Ingle, S, NC State
Bonus: Chandler Zavala, OG, NC State
Bonus: Joey Porter Jr, S, PSU. . . +2
Tiebreaker: 131

More like dishonorable mention. Mick would’ve tied for second then won the runner up crown on tiebreaker, but for some reason listed the Benton pick as 2.47 instead of 2.49. Cmon man!


And the losers….

Per contest rules, everyone scoring a goose egg must be mocked and ridiculed. Long time entrant, @jewelsongs got the goose egg. Scored nada. And for the tiebreaker draft slot he listed “5th round”. Who will save your soul, indeed!

@bradshaw2ben our defending champion. Felt cocky, posted two entries. Scored a 0 on one, got 2 on the other. Was also a part of the Podcast Crew who also scored the Blutarsky 0.0. And lastly, @_db_ also swung and missed for the draft week strike out. db is more Artie Burns and Mel Blount apparently.

No gorillas for you!

[bradshaw2ben]

Nice work Greek.

I only posted one OFFICIAL entry you jabroni.

Thanks for running and scoring. Speaking of which, how did SteelPerch do this year?

Interesting to me. The most picked players were:
(1) Darnell Wright, 21 mocks (1st round + 5 bonus picks)
(2) Joey Porter Jr (4 1st, a 2.32, and 8 bonus, 2023 “not sure where he’ll go but somehow i expect he’ll be a steeler” champion)
(3) Tyrique Stevenson (12 mocks, 10 at 2.49. We’d taken Porter by then, Stevenson went 56th)
(4) Broderick Jones (11 mocks, 10 1st and a bonus)
(5) Mingo and Trenton Simpson, mocked all over the place, 10 mocks each
(7) Dawand Jones, Darnell Washington, Deonte Banks, 9 mocks each
(10) Julius Brents, 8 mocks
(11) Mazi Smith, 7 mocks
(12) Keeanu Benton, Nick Herbig, Kelee Ringo, 6 mocks

Altogether 35 picks for a 1st round OT (6 mocks bonus picking an OT that was otherwise only mocked in round 1). Stevenson at 2.49 seems pretty believable in retrospect, if we had gone in a non-CB direction at 2.32 (Edge/DT was popular there). When i say Simpson mocked all over the place, he had like two 1.17 mocks, two 2.32, two 2.49, two 3.80, and two bonus picks.

Also, i didn’t tabulate the 7th round picks for this because reasons.
