NFL Draft Contest

nfl_draft.jpgA couple weeks ago WFNY sent out invitations for a Blogger Draft Contest that we are hosting. The concept is simple, give us 5 players your team will pick in this weekend’s draft. Not 5 guys they are looking at for the first pick, but name us 5 guys that will be on the roster after the last name is called. The response has been slim.

Our good buddies at Ghosts of Wayne Fontes came through with their picks, in fact they already posted them on their site. Matty from The Phinsider is in, and waiting until the deadline to get their picks to us. (We went back and forth on whether or not to allow them to list Long, but in the end decided they could. Come on, they had to watch the Dolphins all last year.) Dave from Stripe Hype, a Bengal site is in. (By the way, I noticed Dave and a few other mock drafts have Sedrick Ellis falling to the Bengals at 9. That would be very fortunate for them I think.) Cat Crave (Panthers) is in as well as John sent us his picks last week.

That’s all the bloggers that responded. So I’m opening this thing up to our readers. If you’d like to take a team and try your luck, claim them in the comment section. The Browns, Bengals, Panthers, Lions and Dolphins are taken. If you claim a team you must email me the 5 players you believe that team will select before midnight on Friday. (Those were the rules for everybody.) Good luck and have fun…
