2008 NFL Draft BGR Contest
#1
The NFL Draft is scheduled for the 26th-27th.

I wanted to setup a contest slightly different from a normal pick'em.

Unfortunately, due to sheer amount of time and interest, the contest will be limited to the 1st Round of the draft only.

Scoring will be relatively simple, but can become risk/reward when predicting trades.

Scoring Details:

5 points - Correctly predicting a player to their exact draft position number
3 points - Correctly predicting a player withing 1 spot of their actual draft position number
1 point - Correctly predicting a player within 2 spots of their actual draft position number

3 points - Correctly predicting that a draft pick (not player, but the number) will be traded BEFORE a player has been selected with the pick (Be sure to guess the team that the pick will be traded to)
-1 point - Incorrectly predicting that a draft pick will be traded BEFORE a player has been selected with the pick
1 Bonus point - If you correctly predict that a draft pick will be traded BEFORE a player has been selected with the pick AND correctly predict the team whom the pick is traded to (No penalties for an incorrect guess at the team)

Here is the current draft order. If any trades are made pre-draft involving 1st round picks, I'll correct the team that currently has the pick ASAP.

1. Miami Dolphins
2. St. Louis Rams
3. Atlanta Falcons
4.Oakland Raiders
5. Kansas City Chiefs
6. New York Jets
7.New England Patriots (from 49ers)
8. Baltimore Ravens
9. Cincinnati Bengals
10. New Orleans Saints
11. Buffalo Bills
12. Denver Broncos
13. Carolina Panthers
14. Chicago Bears
15. Detroit Lions
16. Arizona Cardinals
17. Minnesota Vikings
18. Houston Texans
19. Philadelphia Eagles
20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
21. Washington Redskins
22. Dallas Cowboys (from Browns)
23. Pittsburgh Steelers
24. Tennessee Titans
25. Seattle Seahawks
26. Jacksonville Jaguars
27. San Diego Chargers
28. Dallas Cowboys
29. San Francisco 49ers (from Colts)

Yes. If you want, you can just copy that template and place your predictions next to each selection and then post it to this thread.
