2018 Colt Freaks Draft Contest

[Chromeburn]

The draft is here again guys. This may be the most important draft for the Colts in a long time. It should set the foundation for the team for the foreseeable future.

With a trade down to 6, Ballard picked up 3 extra second round picks which was a steal. Is another trade down with Miami of the Bills in the works? Would they still get a premium player at those spots? And how may QB's will go in the top ten? Is a guard worth draft at the 6 spot? Will Chubb drop to the 6 spot? Who are the eight premium players Ballard mentioned? Lots of drama and questions to be answered in this draft.

I will use the same rules Sherck set up on previous contests. See them below.

If the Colts DO trade a draft pick, I will try to grade the draft choices as close as possible to the original pick. For instance, the Colts trade the #6 pick overall for the #12 pick overall plus a 2nd and 3rd round pick. In that case, if no other trades occur, then the #12 overall pick will be graded with the #6 overall selections and the 2nd and 3rd round pick will be ignored since we did not submit picks against it EXCEPT to score the categories of “player picked but in a different round.”

Submit 3 choices for each draft selection:

Round 1, Pick 6 (#6 overall)
Choice A = 10 points
Choice B = 7 points
Choice C = 5 points

Round 2, Pick 4 (#36 overall)
Choice A = 7 points
Choice B = 5 points
Choice C = 3 points

Round 2, Pick 5 (#37 overall)
Choice A = 7 points
Choice B = 5 points
Choice C = 3 points

Round 2, Pick 17 (#49 overall)
Choice A = 7 points
Choice B = 5 points
Choice C = 3 points

Round 3, Pick 3 (#67 overall)
Choice A = 5 points
Choice B = 4 points
Choice C = 3 points

Round 4, Pick 4 (#104 overall)
Choice A = 5 points
Choice B = 4 points
Choice C = 3 points

Round 5, Pick 3 (#140 overall)
Choice A = 5 points
Choice B = 4 points
Choice C = 3 points

Round 6, Pick 4 (#178 overall)
Choice A = 5 points
Choice B = 4 points
Choice C = 3 points

Round 7, Pick 3 (#221 overall)
Choice A = 5 points
Choice B = 4 points
Choice C = 3 points

UDFA: Write down 5 names. Score 1 point each if we sign any of them. Score 2 points (like below) if we draft one of them (wrong round).

ADDITIONAL SCORING:

1 point = If you predict a Colts trade
2 points = If you predict a Colts trade AND the correct trade partner and slot

2 points = Player selected is in your “choice matrix” somewhere (i.e. OLB Tim Williams is the Colts selection for our 3rd round pick. You had indicated that OLB Tim Williams was your C Choice for the 2nd round. You would score 2 points for having written his name down somewhere on your selection matrix.).

1 point = Pick the correct position of the player selection (i.e. your choices for the 3rd round pick are: A Choice = CB Jimmy John, B Choice = ILB Bobby Button and C Choice= S Tommy Tutu. The actual choice is CB Billy Barns. You would score 1 point because you had the correct position as one of your choices.).

All picks are FINAL as of 7:59pm on Thursday, 27 April 2017 Eastern Standard Time.

No changing later round picks based on whom we selected in earlier rounds.

Have fun, Colts Freaks. GO BALLARD!
