Build A City Mock Draft - Signup/Chat Thread (Filled, Draft Starts 4/14)

@jcrell623 the time slots and board have caught up.  Can we update the picks page?? (EDIT:  Just saw it was done... my bad)

Also, just FYI, skipping is starting.  Just want everyone to be aware to prevent arguments that will arise.

I have a travel day tomorrow, so I does anyone want to run my BB for me??  I will have picks at 1:00 and 6:30.  I will most likely not be able to make either one of those picks.

You can send them to me if you want, send them in 2 separate messages, and I’ll open them separately when you’re otc

Gracias senor...

Actually, you are the perfect BB guy for me.  You already have the spots filled that I will be drafting.  No need to wait to open the message... lol.

I am thinking we start our "playoffs"/voting soon

I know I've presented this layout in this thread before but didn't tag everyone so they may have missed. Before I post a voting thread, I want to make sure all are generally okay with the plan to avoid any friction.

Again, the voting aspect is supposed to just be a fun way to culminate all of our hard work (lol) over the last month+. Regardless of voting outcomes, we are all the real winners (also lol).

@Heymangold @RaykwonDaChef @festiveonion @BillsGuy82 @I_GET_SAX @MikeT14 @djw4bucs @CHOMP_CHOMP @bcb1213 @kurgan @NickChowaniec

Summary:

Voting will be held for each sport.

For each league, we will have 4 "divisions" each with 3 teams based on draft order (i.e. Division 1 has the team that picked 1st, 5th, 9th, Division 2 is team that picked 2nd, 6th, 10th, and so on).

First we will have "regular season voting" where the 9 GMs not in that division vote for the division winner to advance to the playoffs. Given that everyone has different drafting strategies, each GM will have a chance to write an optional quick blurb advocating for their teams short-term and long-term success should they choose. 

After a 4 division winners are crowned, the "final four" will compete bracket-style and be voted on by the eliminated GMs.

Voting can either be by "liking" the post of each depth chart or can be sent to me via PM. Whatever you guys prefer.

Let me know if this works for everyone and I will post the Hockey voting now.

Dig it. While we’re on it maybe we can find a way to vote on who we think has the best shot in 3-5 years too? 
 

I definitely won’t be winning any of those lol but I know a lot of posters kept an eye toward the future too. Maybe a nice way to keep everyone invested? 
 

either way I’m ready to vote

I really like the format. Explanations will be helpful, hope everyone does them. 

I just have one worry... some people openly said they knew very little or nothing about hockey. Other sports seem fine overall. I know I feel least confident in my baseball knowledge but I definitely feel confident enough to make a fair judgement.  

I hope all the explanations are enough to help those people determine a winner. Not sure how else to handle that type of situation.

I'd suggest waiting til the draft is over to start voting personally 

we're pretty close to the end. I don't see why they couldn't overlap by a few days given that it will probably take some time to get everyone to vote. Down for it to be relatively leisurely in terms of how quickly we move through the voting process, but better to start now

yeah I mean everyone's knowledge levels will be different across all sports and at the end of the day whoever wins doesn't matter. explanations can help guide people and otherwise they can use what knowledge they have to make the best decision they can.
