First Ever TBS NFL Draft Day Event

[Officer Joseph J Whitestick]

Join us in our first annual NFL 2008 Mock Draft Day Event. As a staff we decided that this draft is possibly going to be one of the most anticipated and exciting drafts in recent years and that us at TBS had to do something. So here are the rules:

1)Place your bet of $5.00 by sending a donation (donation link soon to be set up) and after which PM me a.s.a.p. and let me know that you just put in your bet so I can register you.

2) Create two mock drafts. One will consist of picks 1-31 (32 forfeited by Patriots) Include the player and position.Team is not necessary since we are going by the number of the pick. The second mock will be picks for the Buffalo Bills rounds 1-7( They have a 1,2,3,4,4,5,6,7,7,7)So list your picks #'s 1-10 instead of by round. Be sure to include the player and position for each round. In the event of a tie breaker points will be accordingly: For the Bills selections, a correct pick is worth the number of the round it is in. So a correct 1st round pick is worth 1 point and each round that follows is one point more. So an 2nd is worth 2 points a 3rd is worth 3 points and etc.... For picks 1-31, Each pick is worth 1 point but the value increases x2 the more correct picks you string together. So say you get 3 picks in a row it would be 3 points x 2 = 6 points. All points from both mocks will be added to select a winner. Also post at the end of the mock you create which prize you want if you win.


3) You have until 3:00 p.m. Saturday on the evening of 4/26/08 to submit your finalized draft. You may edit your mock at any point up until the thread is locked at this time. If you do edit the mock please refrain from re-posting your mocks. Simply just edit your old one using the edit icon. Please try not to post anything but the mocks in this thread to make it easier for us to fish through the post to determine a winner. For any question or comments about the event please submit them in this separate thread http://www.talkbuffalosports.com/showthread.php?t=417.

The winner will be chosen based on who had the most picks right. The winner will receive a copy of their choice between Grand Theft Auto IV for the winners choice of the XBox 360 or PS3 or between gift cards for Gamestop, Bestbuy, Ebay, Amazon or iTunes up to the value won. The game will be released the Tuesday after the draft and will be sent to the winner upon it's release. Depending on the amount of bets received there may be 2nd and 3rd place winners which may claim a prize of a gift card from their choice of Gamestop, Bestbuy, Ebay, Amazon or iTunes up to the value won. The amount will be dependent on the amount of bets received.

Take your time and have fun with the event and good luck,
TBS Staff

Sweet, 3rd place

As we all know, it takes 3 or 4 years to determine which players turn out to be studs, and I'm confident that my picks will show in 2012 that I'm the true winner. And when they do, TBS better give me my copy of GTA IV.

We'll be generous and give you GTA V

Damn right you will! lol

I wonder if GTA V will be about Wild West gangsters.... I'd love to hijack somebody's stagecoach and run it right into a train.... But that's a topic for another thread....

[slowpokemcgee]

So does the poke get a small consolation prize? NCAA 09 perhaps?
