Are there still more prospect videos to come?

Nope, the last one - Jerome Felton, the Furman fullback + our season finale, "the world's worst workout" went live today.

Let me just say - as an in person witness to this event - you NEED to watch the finale.

I just found your site last night - very nice. I love the stuff you and Cecil do on the second tier rookies. Clips like those are hard to find. Excellent work. The Internet sure has changed the way we find out information for fantasy football. I can remembering thinking I had a HUGE advantage because I read the USA Today instead of the Washington Post. Sportscenter wasn't even around when I started.

I'm in - this should be fun.

 

[radiohead417]

Wow, I haven't guessed this bad since AP calculus. In, I guess.

 

[Mike]

Still great odds for an NFL jersey.

 

[Otis]

MOP Dollars????

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I just entered the winning submission.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

MOP Dollars????

I was hoping for "Bloom Bucks", personally, so I could turn 'em in for one of those sweet, sweet headbands.

 

[Mike]

MOP Dollars????

Sorry, what's the question? MOP Dollars are not redeemable for mops or other cleaning supplies.

 

[Mike]

Bump. Looks like we have 55 in so far. A little over a day to go, which isn't a lot of time to watch every episode of Draftguys TV

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I'll give you guys one hint:

Antwaun Molden better be on your list.

For anyone who hasn't entered - was eight too many? would five have been better?

 

[Cecil Lammey]

Johnson, Josh QB

Molden, Antwaun CB

Simpson, Jerome WR

Jackson, Chevis CB

Okam, Frank DT

Jackson, Dexter WR

Alridge, Anthony RB

5/8

Surprised JOhnson didn't go sooner. Thought Okam would be drafted based on potential and Aldridge might be looked at as a special teamer.

 

[Mike]

Okay, I was waiting for Sig to review the results before I posted them, but he's probably collapsed from the last 48 hours of excitement. I just posted them and will leave it to the Pool to tell me if I screwed up.

Draftguys TV Draft Contest Results

4-way tie for 1st! JoshB, krsone, Raagsreth and ThinMan all scored 56 points out of a possible 80. Nicely done! Also interesting to note that none of them had the exact same picks. It looks like we'll have a draw for the NFL jersey, and maybe draw a second name for the 25 MOP Dollars. The Draftguys will make the call on that.

Christo and Chainz - you actually each scored more than the points you calculated. Read on...

Upon reflection, it wasn't just the top 8 I needed to calculate the scores, but rather the top 17. Since each pick was worth 10 points if you hit it exactly, or lose 1 point down to zero for each position away from where the player was drafted. So... Josh Johnson for example. Say someone picked him to be drafted 8th amongst Draftguys TV prospects. He was actually drafted 11th. That would be worth 7 points.

Based on my calculations, here is the order all Draftguys TV prospects were drafted:

1. Simpson, Jerome

2. Jackson, Dexter

3. Greco, John

4. Jackson, Chevis

5. Molden, Antwaun

6. Lowery, Dwight

7. Tryon, Justin

8. Shirley, Jason

9. Felton, Jerome

10. Okam, Frank

11. Johnson, Josh

12. Thomas, Marcus

13. Henry, Marcus

14. Brown, Thomas

15. Lynch, Corey

16. Omon, Xavier

17. Hubbard, Paul

18. Johnson, Jaymar

19. Mays, Joe

20. Bell, Demetrius

21. Johnson, Steve

22. Larocque, Joey

...and the other 24 went undrafted.

Hope you enjoyed the contest!

ThinMan is actually me. (I've been outed! *gasp!* )

When Johnson, Molden(especially him) and Greco dropped further than I had predicted I didn't even bother checking this until today. Didn't think I had a freaking chance.

Blind squirrel, etc etc, I guess.

 

[obxlegends]

I didn't finish last! Now, that's an accomplishment.

 

[RaiderBones]

Sweet, if those calculations are correct I can't believe I finished tied for the top spot.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

11th. Damn.
