Overview


Welcome to the DCU "Mel Kiper Jr. Invitational" Mock Draft. sbk92 is the Commissioner of this mock. Let's make it the best any of us have ever participated in. With that goal in mind, let's get you up to date on the particulars and the rules. These rules were chosen to try and combat how most mocks get screwed up.

The draft begins Monday, February 14, 2011, at 8:00 AM Eastern Time and will conclude for the day at 11 PM EST. It will continue with those hours each day for the remainder of the draft. In the 1st round, teams have 60 minutes on the clock to make their pick. The 2nd round will be 45 minutes. Additional rounds will be 30 minutes.

The teams were selected by a blind lottery. No one got to choose their team.

The Mel Kiper Jr. Invitational is a four round mock draft.

1. Drafts tend to bog down because time limits aren't enforced. We don't allow this to happen. Your pick will be made within your time limit one way or the other. We ask that any GM who won't be around to check in regularly provides a value board list to the Commissioner. We will then take the highest available player left on your list. If you wish for us to wait your entire allotted clock time, please note that with the list. If you do not, your pick will be made for you from your list if you are not on the board.

If a team does not provide a list and their time has run out, the pick will be made by board consensus. If this were to occur, we will not purposely give you a bad pick.

Any no show GM in the first round forfeits their clock time in following rounds. We will not wait the entire clock for every pick for the same absentee GM. We'll wait the first pick. That's it. The rest of the picks get made by board consensus when the team goes up on the clock, unless that GM is now available.

TIP: Check the draft status when you first get up and see if the time affects you. If you don't have PC access at work and you think the draft may catch up to you, make sure we know that and go ahead and make your selections known to us via PM.

One way or the other the mock draft will move on. We prefer it be with less activity by us and more by you.

2. No trading veteran players. These trades just get silly. You can trade picks in this year's draft, and in the 2012 draft.

3. Do not ask other people what you should do. This is your chance to be a GM. Do your homework. Know your team's needs. Know the players in the draft.

4. We want to keep this mock confined to one thread and we would like to keep the thread clean. To that end we are going to sticky it so it stays up top. We ask that you notify the Commissioner of your picks via PM rather than posting them in the thread. We will edit the draft board for all to see. We would like this thread to be one post for the rules, draft order and selections, team by team draft choice chart and then the pick announcements there after.

If posts are being added to this thread they will be deleted. Keep the spirit of the draft intact.

5. If you are interested in trading out of your pick, post a new thread to that end before you are on the clock. If you know a particular team you want to target in a trade, send them a private message. Clicking on the teams in the pick chart below will directly send you to message that GM.

This thread will be constantly updated as trades occur and picks are made.

Grading

Okay, when the hard part is over and the picks are in, we can all relax a little. But we always found the ending of a mock draft to be a little lacking. We all go thru this process of trying to make our teams better but no clear cut ending results. Who were the winners? The losers? Who made the biggest steal? Biggest reach?

Now of course we won't know who really got the most bang for their buck until these players are 3 or 4 years into their pro careers but for entertainment sake and for bragging rights, we'd like to have one consensus final report card.

To do this we are asking each GM to visit the "Team by Team Selections" thread that will be posted separate from this thread and take a few minutes to grade each class.

The rating scale will not be a letter grade but on a scale of 1 to 10. 10 being excellent, 5 being average and 1 being absolutely terrible.

We ask everybody to keep in mind the ammunition each GM had to work with when they began this process. We're not looking to crown the GM who was lucky enough to acquire two first round picks as the winner. We want to establish who got the most value with what they had to work with. Also remember to factor in any added or lost 2012 draft picks, as they will be noted with each GM's class. Any added or lost 2011 picks during this mock will also be noted within the "Remaining Selections" and "Original Selections".

Leave the bias aside, forget the usernames and give your honest evaluation of each class. Assign a number grade to each team and send your list to sbk92.

And in a further effort to prevent bias from tainting the grading, we ask that you do not grade your own team. Let your peers tell you how you did.

Also add who you felt was the biggest steal in the first four rounds and who was the biggest reach.

Once we receive grades from all the GM's, we will average them out and post the results in a "Final Report Card" and crown a Champion.

I would appreciate if each GM takes the 10 minutes to do this. It'll be a fitting end to what we hope will be a good mock draft overall.


**** All votes will remain anonymous ****

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


Now that the picks are finalized and posted, the trading period has started. When a trade occurs, we ask that both GM's PM the commissioner and give him the details of the trade, including round and overall selection number in the draft which is posted within this thread. Only when a commissioner has both responses and they match, will the trade be finalized and updated on this thread. We do it this way to prevent miscommunication on what was involved in the trade.

Again, please keep this thread clean of any responses. If you have any questions, PM sbk92 or start a separate thread.

Barring a trade, at 8 AM EST on Monday, February 14th, the Carolina Panthers are on the clock.
