War's First Annual Draft Prediction Contest 2012

[Warhorse]

Here is the deal...this is only for bragging rights, but if the winner comes to Oregon, I'll buy them dinner. I have made a few different types of draft contests over the years, but this one is the easiest to participate in and judge.

* Pick the 12 players you feel are most likely to be picked by your team...the Colts.

* It does not matter what order they are selected or what round.

* Names count, not positions (some players are listed at a different position than what they are selected at.

This format eliminates the problems of what round, what position, trades, etc.

Sooooo.......do you Pick Luck? Pick both Luck & Griffen and waste a pick making sure you get one right? Think about how to use this format.

Good luck!

P.S. Highest amount of selections wins. First tie breaker is higher round selection for picks, second tie breaker is the starting letter of the last name of the last player you guessed right....closest to the letter A wins.

(feel free to add name, position, and any other stat you want. (Eliminates common name issues)

By the way, If you change your mind, you can repost and just put Updated at the top of the post. That way people can feel comfortable posting their picks now and not having to wait till just before the draft. Midnight before the first day of the draft is the deadline for changes on your selections. Also, if we were to make our pick early, it only counts for those who have made the selection prior to the announcement.

Im going corner and Defensive Tackle in second and third round, I watched the film on Guyton and while he was fast off the ball he looked to be easily handled by the guard and center and sometimes one on one as well he appeared to get shoved and moved around alot and couldnt always locate the ball carrier, Im going Ta'amu in the third round, Guyton may be good on defensive End but I would try it at Defensive Tackle

Very cool. Love the participation. I see some commonality in the selections. Maybe we're on to something!

It was mentioned that names are what counts.....that is true....but as long as it is readily apparent what was intended, it will be fine. I think it was last year there were two players with the exact same name. That would require some prior defining.

Bump!!!

[Warhorse]

Well, I did have 3 of the first four positions correct...lol.

Dang, PAColts56....if you would have chosen Fleener, you would have 3 of 4...........you had the Hilton selection.

[pacolts56]

Dang, PAColts56....if you would have chosen Fleener, you would have 3 of 4...........you had the Hilton selection.

Yeah.... sometimes I just refuse to accept the obvious.

Oh well.... it was fun, thanks for running the contest!

Hey, I had 3 out of the first 5, a few posts above . I had Andrew Luck, Josh Chapman and T.Y.Hilton.

Fleener was just way too obvious that I guess PAColts56 and I overthought it, I guess.

If the Ravens had not gotten Asa Jackson, the Colts probably would have had him too.

Looks like several of us got 3 and no one got more than 3. Thanks for the contest!!!

Andy nails it with three picks correct and the first three off the board for us! Very nicely done.

[Warhorse]

I want to thank everyone for participating. There were a number of folks who picked three correct. That is unusual. Two correct is much more common. I like this format because it is relaxing and easy. I hope everyone participates again next year. I will keep track of previous winners and post them each year with the new contest. Any changes you would like to suggest are always welcome....I want to make it a fun contest each year.

LOL.... yeah, thats exactly what happened Chad.

Looks like I still have a way to go to recover from my "Jarron Gilbert or Bust!!" (he busted) proclamation a few years ago.

[Warhorse]

It appears that second place was a tie between NorCalColt and Maniq with three correct (need to alter the tie breakers for next season), third was Coltsfanatic24 with three correct, and Chad72 came in fourth with three correct. Again....outstanding foresight.
