Help! 5 round BPA list needed for Mocking the Draft live draft

by Ee Oulo on Feb 4, 2012 2:38 AM EST

Well, the subject says it all, right?

I submitted my name to help do a live mock draft over at Mocking the Draft. It wont take place for another 2 weeks, but they ask for a BPA list before you're confirmed. While it's just a tentative list so can be changed, I thought I'd ask for a bit of help compiling this list. Now I haven't been accepted for this, yet, I will likely need to submit this list in the next few days. If it's not me it will be someone else so this will prove useful for whomever they end up going with.

More after the jump

What they're looking for is at least 7 names per round, for 5 rounds. I'm going to be targeting 10 names for the final list I submit before the draft. I'll likely have a bit larger of a worksheet setup for myself prior to this. I'd like to focus in on people that might be there when we draft, and people that are more of a dream to be there when we draft. Since trades are in play there's a distinct possibility I'll try to make a move for the right guy.

Assistant and/or alternate needed as well. They'd like to have someone as a backup "manager" in the event I'm struck down by lightening and not able to make the draft. The draft is scheduled to take place Friday the 17th of February. Beyond that, they have the overflow time slot as the next day, the 18th. So if things can't be finished on Friday they'll finish up then. I know I can make it happen for Friday but there would be no chance I'd be around for a Saturday conclusion. So anyone who wants to be a backup or alternate should have that availability.

So, here's the chance to spout out!! What's your BPA list for 5 rounds? To make it easy on me, please make the lists only as a new comment. Discuss all you want off of them but please don't post your lists to the side since I may skip those if it gets drawn out.

I just want to clarify

This can totally be a dream list of guys that aren’t even all that likely to be there for us when we draft! Try to keep it somewhat reasonable tho and have at least a few of the guys on the BPA list who you think are likely to be there when we draft.

I ask, please try to have your BPA list prioritized by how much you’d like them at the given draft spot. So for example a likely ranking would have Kalil over Adams on the list but both appearing

If you can’t come up with 7 or 10 or whatever, for each round, don’t worry about it. Toss a few names out there and I’ll take them into consideration for the list I compile.

an example of what I'm looking for

I’ll use my mockserbation post as a guideline. I’ll be adding to this of my own thoughts tomorrow as I have time

Round 1
Matt Kalil, OT USC
Dre Kirkpatrick, CB Alabama
Mike Adams, OT Ohio State
Janoris Jenkins, CB N Alabama
Peter Konz, C Wisconsin

Round 2
Brandon Boykin, CB Georgia
Ben Jones, C Georgia

Round 3
etc,
etc
etc

Please try to not fill it in with a bunch of reasons why in the actual list. By all means discuss all you want but make it easy for me to quickly gleen the list as able. Also, please do include position and school of the player to make it easy for me. It will really help in the later round guys where undoubtedly there will be some I’m not familiar with.
Thanks!

Hicks

Would love a developmental DT like Hicks.
Sammie Hill’s development is excellent. Let’s do it again w/ another.

Thanks for the help so far you 2

Anyone else have any opinions to contribute? Usually people are ripe with opinions on who we should draft! I’d also be glad to get opinions related to who’s BPA in the 1st and 2nd rounds too.

Sounds like fun

Rnd1: Coples, DeCastro, Martin, Ingram, Mike Adams, Konz, Kirkpatrick, Cordy Glenn
Rnd 2: Dennard, Burfict, Osemele, Markele Martin, Stephen Gilmore, Minnefield, Jerel Worthy, Cam Johnson, Vinnie Curry
Rnd 3: Mike Brewster, Audie Cole, Zietler, Amini Silatolu, Nick Toon, Bobby Wagner, Doug Martin, Orson Charles
Rnd 4: Trumaine Johnson, Matt McCants, Keenan Robinson, Trenton Robinson, Marvin McNutt, Harrison Smith, Quinton Saulsberry, Isiah Pead
Rnd 5: Andrew Datko, Ryan Broyles, Senio Kelemente, Rhett Ellision, Josh Norman, Mike Martin, Brandon Brooks

Tried looking for BPA w/ picks who might possibly drop based on mocks from several sites.
If a TE is there in the mid rounds I’d consider taking him based mostly on the $ savings. Paying 3 TE over 1 mil. each adds up. Sorry Heller.

Good luck EO.

I did this draft last year and it was a lot of fun. Although it was very time consuming. Part of the reason for the list is so the guy running the draft can make a pick for you if you disappear. That was a problem in the draft I was in.

Also, watch out for boneheaded trades. Both drafts that I was in and watched had a giveaway trade out of the top ten. Both by the same guy who is back in it this year. nolesbroncos. There were complaints and the guy running the draft said he would not allow lopsided trades, but they happened anyway.

Hope you enjoy the draft.

"I’m sorry for all the people who want us to run the ball 40 times a game, but we’re going to put the ball in No. 9’s hands and he’s going to make plays for us like he did today," Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. Amen to that Jim!

thanks

actually this was all for not. I found out that I wont be available for this draft as I thought I would. I had to cancel with them.

You should do it again! :)
