Sunday Night Football on Thursday Night Presents: The Big Pick Night (I’m not sure if the NFL has successfully trademarked the word ‘Draft’ yet) is now just a week away. With the Titans and Browns having both collected a small bounty in return for the top two picks, the drama is sure to have just started. Small school quarterbacks, SEC running backs, a dude with character questions stating he wants to buy a panther, and ‘sure things’ and ‘safe picks’ — oh you better believe this draft class has got it all!

And since we here at [DFO] are, apparently, everyone and their mother, we’re holding a draft prediction contest. But unlike our competitors, however, we invite you, the reader, to take part in the action. Why? First, because following a bunch of blowhards talking out their asses is boring. Oh, did Mel Kiper not sweep the first night? Should I act like this is some kind of upset? And, second, because even bothering to know a cursory amount about this four day spectacle is an exercise in futility. You don’t what is going to happen; I don’t know what is going to happen; the ‘experts’ don’t know what is going to happen; and Dan Snyder doesn’t know what is going to happen. So why don’t we all just throw in our guesses together?

Since I’m a degree-holding white male who just got engaged last night, I assume my interests and values set the paradigm for the rest of the world and, accordingly, this draft contest is meant to be rather easily completed by the me-type casual fan who mostly follows the event just to hear Roger Goodell get booed, watch fans suffer, find out what happens at the top of the board, and see who gets the handful of college players with name recognition. If you’re someone who watches the draft and wonders what the hell just happened when you see a right guard called as your team’s first round pick (offer not valid in 2016 New England), then Always on the Clock is probably the draft contest for you. In true [DFO] fashion, however, scoring is pretty much arbitrary (kind of like a Chip Kelly scouting report).

No purchase is necessary. To join in the action, just fill out the questions below. For the sake of simplicity, take them at face value. For example, if the Titans Browns Chargers trade out of the 1st 2nd 3rd spot with the Rams Eagles Bills at 19, then Q-14 Q-15 Q-16 asking who is taken with San Diego’s first pick is ‘Trade’, not the #19 pick. Feel free to overthink any of this — just do it before hitting submit.

I don’t have a cut off time — maybe Monday or Tuesday night. Just so that sometime early next week I can compile the results for presentation on a Draft night thread (remember that sick feeling you got looking at your March Madness bracket after the first round of games? It’s gonna be like that). Final scoring results will be posted after the draft. Good luck.

Note: If you’ve already completed your picks in the spreadsheet I have floating around, you do not need to re-enter using the form below.
