We get it....you don't like Mecca.

Are you selecting what you would do or what you think the team will do? Based on Hamas's pick I'm assuming it's what you would do.

It is what you would do.

So, he has a little over 30 minutes to make his pick?

Umm....no.

It's been almost 24 hours, has it not?

He was on the clock as of 1:22 PM PST yesterday......which would mean that he has another 4 hours to go.

Last pick was made at 3:22, YESTERDAY.

He has until 3:22 today to make the pick is the way I see it.

Correct......that would be 24 hours. And what time is it there right now?

11:36 a.m. central/standard time.

And how long is it from 11:36 - 3:22?

That's right.....a little less than 4 hours.

Yeah, we've been over that and are on the same page.

doomy, I have to agree with you. There is no reason for such a delay unless some funky stuff went down in mecca's personal life. If he passes on his first pick, it pains me to say it but OTW should reassign his teams. There are plenty of people who want in and would make their picks in a timely manner.

Oh JFC.....he's got 24 hours to make his pick. Is it kind of annoying? Yeah. But I see no reason to boot the guy out of the draft because of this.

mecca brings a lot to the table and if something is keeping him from posting or pming his pick obviously I'm fine with that. However, this draft just didn't sneak up on him, he knows what time it is.

I'm not booting anyone for missing one pick.

If he's passed, and misses his next pick, then I'd consider it.

Fair enough. I'm just excited to see how this unfolds and like Tom Petty sings, "The waiting is the hardest part....".

the .... are for mecca

Hey the rules state you have 24 hours to pick. Lets bitch after that passes.

Well, hopefully everyone doesn't take 20+ hours to make their picks, or else this is never going to be done. I'm sure you wouldn't bitch about that though if this holds up for more people than just Mecca.

Can I pick for Mecca?

I'd start studying his teams. If he misses this pick as well as his next pick, you're in.

We've never had a problem finishing before. This always happens at some point, we've had to pass people and in some cases, assign their teams to someone else mid-draft.

This just can't happen consistently, or we are ****ed.

Right, just sucks that it is happening in the first 5 picks, and that will definitely have an impact on the rest of the picks. Hopefully he doesn't get skipped as that will throw this entire thing completely out of whack.

I will say whoever is assigned the pick, better make the pick within an hour after being chosen to choose for Mecca. We can't afford another 24 hours going by.

I'm going to be out for 2-3 hours this afternoon. I'll be leaving in 30-45 minutes. I've sent a PM to OTW with the top 3 guys on my board for my pick so whoever's after me, be ready.

I'll do a write up of my selection when I get home this afternoon.

He just gets skipped, and then OTW will be up. From there, OTW has my pick so it's going to be on to 7 pretty fast after that.

Taylor Mays at 6 huh? I figured as much.

Who's going to take him before 6? He's all mine..........MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You forget that Mecca hasn't picked yet. :D

Yeah, but he's probably going to get skipped. You guys may be surprised by my pick, you may not. When you're the Seattle ****ing Seahawks you better take BPA at number 6. That's the only hints I'm giving out.

Dude....you're going CJ Spiller. I already know...

Honestly, at this point I'll be surprised if that's how it goes.

That's fine....you guys can let him fall to San Francisco. :D

Somebody needs to select for the Redskins. Skipping the pick is futile at best.

You going to take him at 13 with Frank Gore? I can live with that, there's a lot of great RB's to be taken in later rounds.

Hamas taking Clausen really threw my board for a loop. I thought Spiller would be the no brainer pick at 6. There's a guy or two though that I won't pass on for him. Spiller is on my list of 3, but he's number 3.

So to be clear...the Redskins make no selection if Mecca doesn't make the pick?

Hell yeah. Dude can return kicks/punts, he can be split out wide in the slot and he can take some of the load off of Gore.

Correct. It's just like if they didn't get their card up to the podium in the real draft.

Damn, man. I think that's a ****ed up way to start this thing. The whole draft will be skewed. I think we might want to re-think this.

The pick should be an o-linemen but Mecca didn't even draft one for the Chiefs a few years ago when it was an obvious need.

How about we trade Mecca for another team and let somebody who's ready, take the Redskins?

Them's the rules. I hear what you're saying but there's really nothing to do about it at this point. No one foresaw this happening so soon, but here we are. I don't really care, but we're already on short notice to make a change that significant.

It's all a ploy by Mecca because he doesn't want to pay top 5 money for his pick.

ROFL

I've gotta bounce, OTW has my picks. I'll catch you guys this afternoon.

I could easily make the selection, right now. I'm sure many others could, as well.

It wouldn't be that hard to swap Mecca to a lower ranked team.

This will be an excercise in futility, if the Redskins don't make a selection. What's the point? It's flawed from the beginning.

I've got too much going on, to dedicate time and effort, only to see this ****ed form the beginning. My two cents.

Seeing as how this is the first time this has happened in the top 5 of the mock, I'm going to make an executive decision as commish.

Mecca has until 3:22 to make his pick.

If he doesn't, I'm giving TBG ONE HOUR after Mecca's time expires to make the selection, since he'll be getting Mecca's teams in the event he totally flakes.

If TBG doesn't make the pick by 4:22, then I'LL make the pick, and we'll move on.

I've sent a PM to TBG notifying him of this arrangement.

So now, we wait another hour and 10 minutes.

Good move, man. :clap:

Sounds good to me.

Thanks.

I work too hard on this (and I know you guys do too) to see it get ****ed 4 picks in.

I also know that life can throw you a curve, and I have to give Mecca the benefit of the doubt for now. Hell, I woke up this AM to find out my modem/router was dead, and had to head out to buy a new one - had it not been for my iPhone, I would have had no contact with the board.

Shit happens, we move on.

Good deal. MUCH better solution than just outright skipping a first round (top 5) pick

Way to go, OTW.

The Skins need to take Bulaga.

Well, TheBadGuy is on the clock.

I sent him a PM, and he just posted 10 minutes ago. But now it looks like he's gone.

He gets an hour, then I make the pick and we move on.

ROFL

The Washington Redskins select.....



Samuel Jacob Bradford, QB, Oaklahoma Sooners

Sorry, I had planned to pick and then the wife came down ordering me to take a walk with her and the baby.

Good move. Thanks for stepping up.

So who do you guys think the Redskins should take?

LaRon Landry is manning the SS, so Berry's not a consideration. Bradford is a bust waiting to happen. McCoy might be worth it just for value's sake, but that's tying up a shitload of money in DT next to Haynesworth.

So... ?

I think Bruce Campbell has to be the pick. He's a need, and he has the upside to actually justify the pick.

Mays would be an intriguing pickup as well, but that's tying up too much money in a pair of safeties.

This is an intriguing pick for the Chiefs.

Berry or McCoy. Berry or McCoy.

Although I think Berry's too rare to pass on, Pioli would love a shot at McCoy if he can get a great deal for Dorsey.

Scott Pioli likes Glenn Dorsey a great deal.

There is no chance the Chiefs are going to move Dorsey to draft McCoy. None.

There's a real chance that McCoy falls. If Claussen or Bradford go #1 to the Rams, Berry is going to be there at 5.

It's gotta be Berry.

I love the CP mock. I can't wait to win the Draft this year.

McCoy.

The interior push you would get from those two, along with the edge rush from Orakpo, would be devastating.

And now we're rolling.

Here in the Chiefs War Room, Charlie Weis is still sulking in the corner with a case of RingDings over the Rams taking Jimmy Clausen 1st overall.

With Clausen off the board, Romeo Crennel has distracted Scott Pioli with a serving of ziti just long enough to make sure he gets his man. No ****ing reaches this year, folks.

With the 5th pick in the 2010 CP Mock draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select:

Eric Berry, FS, Tennessee

If mccoy falls, does that increase our trade prospects? Tons of teams need 34 ends/43 dts...

Flopnuts has sent me a list of players to choose from, and in a bit of a stunner the Seahawks select:

Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma

Hot****! We're rolling now boys!

All good picks. All three teams ignored the LT position as will CLE.

billay with his CP Mock debut is next. Make it a good one.

McCoy to the Seahawks is ****ing theft. Theft.

A DT could slide if Detroit goes LT.

Washington would have the best combination of interior and edge pass rush in the league if they drafted McCoy.

If the draft were to play out like this, they could not pass that up, IMO.

Hamas, I understand your point and perhaps Daniel Snyder is the only owner in the NFL who would allocate such a huge portion of his payroll to the DT position. That is what would prevent it from happening to me plus their huge need for a LT.

Had I made the pick, I was going McCoy.

But I can see why Frank took Bradford.

billay will be in here in a minute. He's busy jerking off to the Jones signing right now.

Could the chiefs pass up a front of hali, dorsey, suh/mccoy, jackson?

If I'm Washington, I'm doing the following:

1) Giving Campbell a year to prove himself w/ Shanahan
2) Drafting McCoy
3) Seeing if I can pry Gaither away from Baltimore with my 2 this year and a 3rd next year.

Didn't think this guy would fall to the Browns.

The Browns select C.J Spiller RB from Clemson

The Browns offense sucked last year and while Harrison had a few nice games he's not the long term answer. Cribbs was the only playmaker on offense. Cribbs + Spiller gives the Browns instant offense and a headache for D-cordinators in the league.

:cuss:

McCoy and Dorsey play the same position. However, I mentioned this yesterday, if Suh fell, the Chiefs would be criminally stupid not to draft him, play him as the 4-3 NT, and have the following lineup:

RDE: Hali
3T: Dorsey
NT: Suh
LDE: Jackson.

You absolutely could not run on the interior or left side of that defense. You could, however, run on Hali.

Ultimately, if I'm KC and Suh falls, I'm drafting him and building the D around the strength of my players.
