We do an open thread for the second round. People give their opinions for each teams picks, arguing and seeing if a consensus emerges for most teams (it will be wild, and maybe a little confusing, but you guys can handle it). I’ll check in throughout the day and make picks “official” by listing them in the main body of the post.

Then when we get to Denver’s pick I’ll post a poll for the community to vote on that pick.

The next day the Broncos will pick whoever is in the lead, and a new thread for the next batch of picks will go up. We might be able to finish the draft completely, or we might get screwed waaaaay up, but we also might have some fun.

But it is up to you guys.

[Note: if you are one of the current “GMs” and you would rather keep things the way they are, just say so here in the comments. If the majority of the GMs don’t want to change how things are going, then we’ll respect that, even if the poll says otherwise.]

Thanks for everyone’s time on this. Regardless of how it pans out, this Community mock has been fun.

This is the first year I’ve known about MHR and this mock draft has been one of the highlights in terms of learning about the upcoming draft. Thanks again!

i sent u my pick styg!, my email must be messed up then, cuz i think i sent it twice

will be a steal, imho. Because he probably will be an end of the 1st round/early 2nd round pick, as this mock draft pick suggests, and yet I’m very high on him. Broncos probably won’t want to use their 2nd 1st rounder on him, as it’s still pretty high, but I certainly would be happy if they got him with one of their first 3 picks.

By that time, you’re operating so much on speculation that the importance of draft order breaks down a bit.

Perhaps you could even batch some picks together in a common thread. Say you’re in the 4th round, for a hypothetical. Open a thread to discuss picks for the first 10 picks. After a while, solidify the picks based on the general tenor of the comments, with the higher picks getting priority over close calls. Then do the next 10 picks. Etc.

That would help focus the discussion to a few teams, which would be much easier to think about, but wouldn’t slow things down too much. Also, if interest wanes toward the end, you don’t lose a whole lot.

i guess it was just over shadowed by the new format topic.thanks styg for double checking!

how about this as a way of carrying on??

two or three volunteers / draftniks get us up to the Broncos 2nd rounder with three or four picks each and then open thread / vote on the players. Then for future rounds rather than picking players, how about picking positions and then either using the comments or the position reviews that were on MHR to decide which player is projected to be available and then selecting them. it would get us to round 7 in 10 days or so.
