SDMB 2012 NFL Mock Draft - Recruitment Thread

I’m almost always available via my phone.

If somebody without much access has a “big board” or even a small one accounting for a few picks ahead, I’m sure a few of us will honorably use it it on your behalf, even if it steals our next choice.

I suppose I could take the Redskins, though it’s probably unnecessary as my 1st round pick is already decided for me, and I wouldn’t have a 2nd rounder.

I’ll pencil you in. Everyone is almost certainly going to get assigned 2-3 teams before it’s said and done.

Alrighty then. I’ll be around all weekend.

Let me know if you have secondary teams that you’d like to draft for and/or know well. Divisional opponents tend to be a safe bet and we’re currently without any Cowboys fans, but have a plethora of Giants/Eagles fans.

I can take a few undesireable teams, after other are picked.

I’m interested in participating for the Patriots.

That said, I can probably only do it if I have the Pats only, because:

  1. I’m not nearly as knowledgeable as the rest of you and don’t have a clue what others teams need (I barely feel competent to do the Pats).
  2. I’ll be away from the computer for hours at a time this weekend, so I don’t want to hold the process up.

So, let me know if you want me in or not with that in mind. Whatever works for you.

To avoid drafting a punter in the first round, I’ll represent the Cowboys.

:wink:

Well, I will take the Packers if Hamlet doesn’t want them :slight_smile: and I’ll take another team. You should just pencil in Luck and Griffin 1-2 and not worry about assigning it.

Sounds good.

I’m going to assign them mostly because those teams will have picks in later rounds, well at least the Colts will.

Pending Assignments: Oakminster

I’m going to wait another day before shaking out the secondary teams because some of the teams who I know have involved Dopers as fans (Lions, Steelers, Bengals) haven’t stopped by yet and I want to give them time to volunteer if interested.

If no one wants them, I’ll take the Seahawks and the Chiefs. I think they’re kinda interesting this year.

You would have gotten a really good punter though.

I suppose I could take the Ravens too as they are just up the road.

The Vikings’ #3 pick is on the table for a team that wants to jump up ahead of the Browns to get the future Hall of Famer Ryan Tannehill.

Last chance. Going to make secondary team assignments in a hour or so. If you have preferences that you haven’t voiced yet please speak up.

I can cover the other AFC north teams if necesary.

If everyone gets a second team, I’ll take the Bengals.

If we get all the way to their picks, I’ll pick for the Raiders. Other than that I have no preferences; I think I can do two extra teams (beyond the 49ers and Raiders).

Here’s the final Mock Draft Assignments. I did my best to give everyone the teams they wanted. If anyone only has one team and wants another that wasn’t previously spoken for feel free to chime in now, I had several that I just assigned somewhat randomly. A couple of you may not have gotten the teams you requested (or divisional rivals) primarily because I wasn’t going to give anyone 2 teams back-to-back because I want the picks chosen mostly in isolation.

Again, if anyone dislikes their assignments for whatever reason or has too many/too few teams let me know before the end of business. I’m going to send out PMs to everyone to remind them. Tentatively, I want to start the draft tonight at say 7PM CDT. No hard and fast deadlines because people have schedules to keep, but hopefully everyone can get back to the thread (coming soon) within an hour or two of the pick ahead of them. If things go really quiet I’ll use my discretion to accelerate the process. Ideally I’d like everyone to post a short description of why they are making their picks, nothing too onerous, but I’d like to make the thread an interesting read for non-participants.

Be on the lookout for the Mock Draft thread around 6PM or so unless otherwise noted.
