Mach 1 Draft Contest

So... I'm thinking of having a few fella's over at the blog for a little Mock-Draft Contest... some beers and of course, a possum dragging. The rules are simple to compete in "Kyper Combat." I will make my prognostication public Tuesday afternoon/early evening. In the comments section of THAT POST, leave your selections... now on with the rules o'the game:

1. Pick The Player You Believe Will Go 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. For The Entire First Round
2. You Get 1-Point If The Player You Predict Is Drafted In The Slot You Select
   
3. You Get 1-Point If The Player You Predict Is Drafted By The Team You Select
4. If You Get The Player AND Team Correct, You Get 1-Bonus Point.
5. Whomever Tallies The Most Points, Wins!
   

Ex: If you predict Darren McFadden will go to the Raiders with the 4th pick and he indeed joins the Silver and Black when they pick 4th, you would receive "3" Points.

If the Raiders trade down to 5th but still get McFadden, you would receive "1" point for getting the player and team correct.

If the Jets move up to the 4th pick and select McFadden, you would receive "1" point for getting the player and the pick# correct, capiche?

Onto some hot links... Lance Briggs of the Bears just signed a new contract. Well.. not JUST. It HAS been over six weeks since putting pen to paper. So, of course he's ticked about his deal. That he just signed. Last month. And yes, Drew Rosenhaus is his agent.

Terry Bradshaw today in a 45-minute Q and A session at Squire Creek wished John David Booty well, hoping his hometown QB gets drafted and prospers for years in the NFL. He also doesn't think Booty has the size to be a strong quarterback in the league, a perception that many others feel. Obviously I saw John David play a ton of games at Evangel---and it's interesting to me to find an argument for Booty's success in the league comes from a guy pointing back to JDB's Friday Night heroics.

"The NBA playoffs has been more full of fruit than the producer section at your local grocer." Whoo... Step Back, Fletcher... I'm sorry, I was channeling Reggie Miller for a bit. Wow... I think I saw his sister naked. Yikes. BTW, If your cable lineup indeed has a Reggie Miller Channel, watch it. A lot. And take copious notes... It will make a good read the next time you're just relaxing around the house. Or under it.
