Ah ha here it is, I nominate you as the commissioner.......do I have a second?

Hey Dutch any more thought on a draft questions thread? Inquiring minds want to  know. 

So?  You want more Dutch? We can just pass him around.

Thanks to everyone who participated! I was throwing around the idea of doing a draft version of this, I'd love some input on questions for it - I've never done a Dutch's Questions for the Draft. 

Hey Dutch any more thought on a draft questions thread? Inquiring minds want to  know. 

- METHOD 1 -

correct position + correct player + correct team = 1 or 3 points, any incorrect = 0 points, round 1, maybe round 2?

- METHOD 2 -

correct position + player + team = 3 points (easier in the top of round 1, gets harder going down)

correct position +player = 1 or 2 points?

correct player + team = 2 points (trades, etc. might move positions )

predict a correct trade 5 points (parameters uncertain there)

all incorrect = 0 points

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eh? Not bad for 4 am.

Nero offered some good ideas for late and overall. I'd focus on Round 1.

• First player selected at each position.
• Total number taken at a given generic position in Round one, i.e., DB, LB, DL, OL, TE, WR, RB & QB.
• Positions other than K, P & LS not taken in Rnd 1.

Correct trade up or traded picks 2 points?

Grades for maybe R1, R2, R3? Something like that. 

Incorrect pick 0 points

Most points win. We certainly have time to put it together  before the "THREE DAYS IN APRIL!" tournament.......reminds me the March Madness Tournament is coming up, defending champion mjp28

#1 Selection, 1st QB taken, most selected position in the first round, Mr. Irrelevant (maybe only ask for position), how many kickers are going to be drafted (I said kickers for fun, maybe that could be asked for many positions), first team trading up (also could be added with whom they trade picks)... 

I tried to put up questions that can be answered objectively, I thought about asking for ugly shoes or surprises, but that kind of stuff might be hard to answer and to judge who won.

Answer: The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the New England Patriots 41-33 to win their first Super Bowl in franchise history, and first NFL title since they won back-to-back in 1948-49.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner:  No one predicted an Eagles NFC Title, so obviously no winner here either. 

And the 'Big Dummy Award' goes to...  Kevin Hogan's secret lover, of course.

I'm not familiar with the "oddsides" rule.

Fun stuff, Dutch... and funny to boot.

NFC, eh I guess I can live with Philly over, hmmmmm, nobody?

Answer: The Philadelphia Eagles, who suffered a season-ending injury to QB Carson Wentz at the end of the regular season, rallied around backup Nick Foles and defeated Atlanta (15-10) and Minnesota (38-7) to advance to their third Super Bowl.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: I recall struggling trying to figure out who to select, it really felt wide open going into the season, and when 10 of 11 of us select teams that didn't even make the playoffs, it turned out to be prophetic. No one selected the Eagles, so no tasty treat can be handed out.

And the 'Big Dummy Award' goes to... Seattle and Dallas were selected by six of us, both teams went 9-7 but didn't qualify for the playoffs. Four of us chose Green Bay, whose season was torpedoed by Aaron Rodger's injury, causing them to fall to 7-9, saddling Dutch, Bob806, Coyote and mjp with immeasurable painful shame.

Answer: For the 9th time since the 2001 season, the New England Patriots will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. To get there, they cruised by the Tennessee Titans in the divisional playoff game, 35-14, then came from behind to defeat the upstart Jacksonville Jaguars 24-20.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: Picking the Patriots to win the AFC title isn't very difficult, it's akin to selecting Alabama to win the college title. A smart choice, but not very exciting. Well, here's to being steady and boring: Flyin J, Dutch, jcam222, Coyote, gumby73, and Tour. You have to wonder how much this dynasty has left in the ol' proverbial gas tank.

And the 'Big Dummy Award' goes to... But when you absolutely can't bring yourself to pick the Patriots, and being a Browns fan doesn't allow you to select the Steelers (the somewhat obvious #2 pick), you look for an upcoming, young team with potential: the Oakland Raiders! A bold pick, I liked the thought behind it. Unfortunately for Bob806, mjp28, The Gipper, and Mudfly, the Raiders struggled mightily and went 6-10. But alas, all is not lost four that were just mentioned - there's Super Homer PoG to save the day with his asinine Browns pick! HOORAY!

Answer: The Browns find themselves in an once in a lifetime situation - with the #1 overall pick via their own hard work and diligence, and #4 overall via the Texans and them falling apart after DeShaun Watson's season-ending injury.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: Honestly I went into this season thinking that the Browns pick was pretty much a given to be in the top 5, and hoping the Texans would not qualify for the playoffs to keep that pick in the #15-20 range. I would have happily taken something along the lines of #3 and #17... #1 and #4? IT'S LIKE CHRISTMAS IN APRIL, YO! No one was even in the same zip code on this question.

And the 'Big Dummy Award' goes to... Since no one was close to winning, that means we all were in the running for this ignominious award. PoG proves, of course, how much better of a Browns fan he is over everyone else here by picking a team coming off a 1-15 season to win the Super Bowl. How adorable.

Answer: #1 overall pick Myles Garrett battled injuries during his rookie season, but in the 10 games he appeared in he had 7 sacks. The Browns had 34 as a team.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: A hotly-contested question, virtually everyone was in contention. Sadly, his best play was negated in the Bears game by a teammate lining up five yards oddsides. Still, Garrett showed some real promise. PoG and Mudfly share this tasty treat.

And the 'Big Dummy Award' goes to... In a shocking turn of events, this award goes to Ghoolie, whose fetish for homosexual Zumba instructors (and I guess him imagining Garrett in tights teaching a class for him only?) has entertained no one all season long.

Gone by end of 8th game.

That's what I thought in 2016 and 2017 but injuries and crappy plays derailed that. Seriously though with a good or great draft they should win a few this year.....despite a rather tough schedule.

Duke Johnson easily lapped the field, giving Dutch the victory.

For some reason "half-lapped" seems more appropriate...
