Danny Shelton just picked up Roger Goodell in a bearhug, that might have to count.

Just came here to say that. I'm sure if anyone else did something clownish they'd have cut to it, so I'd vote for Shelton.

Two RBs in first round... double points? How much more do we get for SD trading up two spots for a RB that neither SF or HOU would possibly have drafted?

Some good stuff so far, I'll go through everything once the draft ends, but everyone but Parmesan Basil, Leperflesh and cucka got the Winston question, like 2/3rds got the running back question, there were no freaking trades!!!!! but both Guisseppe Pizzapie and darkforce898 managed to get 3 of the 4 wide receivers correct, and lots of people saw Mariotta going 2nd, Vic Beasley going to the Falcons at 8 and Trae Waynes going to the Vikings at pick 11

This page: http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/tracker?icampaign=draft-sub_nav_bar-drafteventpage-tracker#dt-by-round-input:1/dt-tabs:dt-by-round
has a video clip for each draft pick. I haven't looked at all of them but a random sampling suggests they show the draftee getting to the stage and being greeted by Goodell.

E. there was at least one trade; one of the draft pick moves involved a player being traded.

E2: yeah, the Lions traded down their #23 pick with Denver, and received in exchange: The #28 pick, a fifth round pick (#143), a 2016 5th round pick, and OL Manny Ramirez.

E3: also! Seattle traded their #31 and center Max Unger to New Orleans in exchange for New Orleans' fourth-round selection (112th) and tight end Jimmy Graham.

wait, that second trade happened ages ago, I guess it doesn't count.

Okay, so in the end, a lot of the really neat poo poo you want during a draft with players going everywhere, and everyone trading up and down like crazy just didn't happen, we had a pretty by the numbers draft, which is a shame!

And that's reflected with our first few questions, so let's get started.

First, our roster of players:

Smarms, Doltos, Raku, Parmesan Basil, Chilichimp, Football Fuckerman,Guisseppe Pizzapie, Kalli , Burger Trench, Chichevache, KettleWL, Abugadu, Zimbomonkey, No Butt Stuff, Puppybowl, Oldskool, aBagorn, Blitz7k, Metapod, Zurreco, darkforce898, Jrizzle, wandler20, Cruel and Unusual, DrKennethNoisewater, seiferguy, Leperflesh, Athanatos, cucka

1) Does Jameis Winston go #1 overall?

Yes:

Smarms, Doltos, Raku, Chilichimp, Football Fuckerman,Guisseppe Pizzapie, Kalli , Burger Trench, Chichevache, KettleWL, Abugadu, Zimbomonkey, No Butt Stuff, Puppybowl, Oldskool, aBagorn, Blitz7k, Metapod, Zurreco, darkforce898, Jrizzle, wandler20, Cruel and Unusual, DrKennethNoisewater, seiferguy, Athanatos,

No:
Parmesan Basil, Leperflesh, cucka

Only a few went against the grain here, hoping a big ol' jerk wouldn't go #1 overall. He did!

2) Does Philip Rivers get traded?

Yes:
Smarms, Leperflesh

No:
Doltos, Raku, Parmesan Basil, Chilichimp, Football Fuckerman,Guisseppe Pizzapie, Kalli , Burger Trench, Chichevache, KettleWL, Abugadu, Zimbomonkey, No Butt Stuff, Puppybowl, Oldskool, aBagorn, Blitz7k, Metapod, Zurreco, darkforce898, Jrizzle, wandler20, Cruel and Unusual, DrKennethNoisewater, seiferguy, Athanatos, cucka

This one kind of leaked out beforehand, so everyone who waited had an edge... an unneeded edge. Rivers gets to raise his 27 kids in San Diego for at least one more year.

3) Does Adrian Peterson get traded?

Yes:
Doltos, Raku, Parmesan Basil, Football Fuckerman, Kalli, Puppybowl, Oldskool, Jrizzle, DrKennethNoisewater, seiferguy, Leperflesh, cucka

No:
Smarms, Chilichimp, Guisseppe Pizzapie, Burger Trench, Chichevache, KettleWL, Abugadu, Zimbomonkey, No Butt Stuff, aBagorn, Blitz7k, Metapod, Zurreco, darkforce898, wandler20, Cruel and Unusual, Athanatos

Final, something with some conflict... but much like AP's agent, some of us have to go hat in and hand and hope people aren't too mean to us for being wrong.

4) List teams that trade down in the 1st round

Two freaking trades happened in the first round. FOURTEEN happened last year, so here's who got points for being right:

49ers:
Parmesan Basil, Chichevache, KettleWL, Zimbomonkey, Puppybowl, Oldskool, darkforce898, seiferguy

Lions:
Chilichimp, Jrizzle,

Good job! nobody got both of them.

5) List teams that trade up in the 1st round

Broncos:
A BIG FAT NOBODY

Chargers:
Smarms, Doltos, Raku, Oldskool, wandler20, Athanatos

So nobody saw the Broncos trading up to try and get something going for Peyton's last hoorah, whereas a half dozen people figured out the Chargers were trading up... probably weren't expecting it to be for a running back though.

6) Who is the first player to try to dap up Roger Goodell?

Everyone had varied answers, some picked players halfway across the country eating crablegs. The networks decided to cut away from the players as they approached Goodell for the most part (boo). Luckily, Danny Shelton picked up Roger in a big ol' Bearhug, but nobody chose the angry giant. If someone else actually went and made Roger look as old and white as he is, please let me know and I will rescore it!

7) Does Chip Kelly draft a player from Oregon before the end of day 2?

Yes:
Smarms, Doltos, Raku, Parmesan Basil, Chilichimp, Football Fuckerman, Kalli, Burger Trench, Abugadu, No Butt Stuff, aBagorn, Blitz7k, Metapod, darkforce898, wandler20, DrKennethNoisewater, seiferguy, Leperflesh, Athanatos,

No:
Guisseppe Pizzapie, Chichevache, KettleWL, Zimbomonkey, Puppybowl, Oldskool, Zurreco, Jrizzle, Cruel and Unusual, cucka.

I wanted to believe in Chip Kelly's wild ride :(

8) Does a running back get drafted in the first 16 picks?

Yes:
Smarms, Doltos, Chilichimp, Football Fuckerman, Kalli , Burger Trench, Chichevache, Zimbomonkey, No Butt Stuff, aBagorn, Blitz7k, darkforce898, wandler20, DrKennethNoisewater, Leperflesh,

No:
Raku, Parmesan Basil, Guisseppe Pizzapie, KettleWL, Abugadu, Puppybowl, Oldskool, Metapod, Zurreco, Jrizzle, Cruel and Unusual, seiferguy, Athanatos, cucka

Two of 'em! None in the last two drafts, and oh my gosh, look at this list of 1st half of the first round RB's since Adrian Peterson:
'12: Trent Richardson
'10: CJ Spiller, Ryan Matthews
'09: Knowshon Moreno
'08: Darren McFadden, Jonathan Stewart

9) Does Bill Belichick draft a player from Rutgers?

Yes:
Smarms, Raku, Chilichimp, Football Fuckerman,Guisseppe Pizzapie, Burger Trench, Abugadu, Zimbomonkey, Puppybowl, Oldskool, aBagorn, Metapod, darkforce898, Jrizzle, Cruel and Unusual, DrKennethNoisewater, seiferguy, Athanatos

No:
Doltos, Parmesan Basil, Kalli, Chichevache, KettleWL, No Butt Stuff, Blitz7k, Zurreco, wandler20, Leperflesh, cucka

Apparently I should've said "longsnapper from Navy". Jesus Bill.

10) The draft is loaded with 1st round WR talent, list the team that drafts each of the following

Amari Cooper): Smarms, Doltos, Raku, Parmesan Basil, Football Fuckerman, Guisseppe Pizzapie, Kalli, Abugadu, Puppybowl, Oldskool, aBagorn, Blitz7k, Metapod, Zurreco, darkforce898, Jrizzle, wandler20, Cruel and Unusual, DrKennethNoisewater, Athanatos, cucka

Most got this one right, Amari's heads above the rest of the class and fast as all heck. Perfect Raider, and it's not even a joke.

Kevin White): Guisseppe Pizzapie, Kalli, KettleWL, Abugadu, Puppybowl, ABagorn, Zurreco, darkforce898, wandler20, Cruel and Unusual

Alright, pretty good crew here

Breshad Perriman) Guisseppe Pizzapie
DeVante Parker): darkforce898, Jrizzle,
Dorial Green-Beckham): Cruel and Unusual

Awh. Guisseppe Pizzapie, darkforce898 and Cruel and Unusual got 3 right, so good on you guys.

I'm now going for the booby prize for worst score!

Ok I was actually going for a long-shot strategy of trying to be in a minority for most picks, so that if I got any right, I'd tend to gain a lot on the majority getting them wrong. As we can see, this is a low-probability option. It doesn't mean it was wrong: those of you at the top are in crowded company, so I only needed to to do well on, say, three weird contrarian picks, to be in second or first place, most likely.

I should have said no ducks, though. I must have gotten lazy and not counted how many voted yes on that, because I wound up in the (wrong) majority on one of the few questions with a binary choice and the majority was wrong.

Kalli
Jun 2, 2001



First up, I just re-checked my list and noticed, I didn't score Waah, so here's Waah's scoring:

1) Yes - correct!
2) No - correct!
3) Yes - :(
4/5) All wrong!
6) Brandon Scherff - :(
7) No - correct!
8) No - :(
9) Yes - :(
10) All wrong!

11) Give me 5 players not listed above and the exact spot they're drafted in

Lots of people got 3 guesses right here, and odds are, you picked Mariotta at #2, Vic Beasley at #8 or Trae Waynes at #11. Most of us wished Leonard Williams went 5th or swapped spots with Fowler Jr.

3 Correct:
Smarms, Chilichimp, Abugadu, wandler20, seiferguy, Leperflesh

2 Correct
Doltos, Guisseppe Pizzapie, Burger Trench, Chichevache, aBagorn, Zurreco, DrKennethNoisewater, Athanatos

1 Correct
Raku, Parmesan Basil, Football Fuckerman, Kalli, KettleWL, No Butt Stuff, Puppybowl, Metapod, darkforce898, waah

0 Correct
Zimbomonkey, Oldskool, Blitz7k, Jrizzle, Cruel and Unusual, cucka

12) In which round is the first kicker or punter drafted

Didn't hear much of anything about the specialists leading into the draft, and for good reason, only 1 was drafted... by the team with Andy Lee??? Most of us guessed the 6th round, but they had to snap him up and caused a run on Long Snappers from Navy.

5th rounders: Parmesan Basil, Guisseppe Pizzapie, Chichevache, KettleWL, Oldskool, aBagorn, Blitz7k, Cruel and Unusual, DrKennethNoisewater, waah

13) How many quarterbacks are drafted over the first two days?

Whole lot of teams with lovely QB situations out there, surely they'd get desperate and reach in the 2nd and 3rd rounds right?

Almost all of us wildly overshot here, except these jerks:

3: Parmesan Basil, No Butt Stuff, Oldskool, darkforce898

14) Mel Kiper will have a draft grade article up before they're even finished packing up in Chicago, which team does he award the highest and lowest grades?



As always, Mel grades on a curve, so 5 teams pulled A-'s: Seahawks, Steelers, Ravens, the Jets and Washington. Lots of people expected the Eagles or Titans to get the highest marks, probably due to pulling off the heist trade, but Kiper had the Eagles at a B+ and the Titans down at C+.

Highest:
Ravens: Kalli, Puppybowl
Steelers: Oldskool
Seahawks: seiferguy

On the other hand, only one team scored a C-, and they're the team that gave away their first round pick last draft. Sorry Bills, you'll have to wait until next year to draft a disappointing Quarterback.

Lowest
Bills: Puppybowl, Oldskool, Wandler20, seiferguy

Congrats Puppybowl / Oldskool, seiferguy, you know what Mel Kiper's thinking.

15) Is Mr. Irrelevant an offensive, defensive or ST player?

The answer: Gerald Christian, TE from Louisville.

A few people guessed TE's would be taken, some people picked people I'm pretty sure do not actually exist, which really isn't any different then the typical Mr. Irrelevant. But here's who guessed an offensive position player correctly:

Offensive:
Smarms, Raku, Parmesan Basil, Football Fuckerman,Guisseppe Pizzapie, Burger Trench, KettleWL, Abugadu, Zimbomonkey, No Butt Stuff, aBagorn, Zurreco, darkforce898, Jrizzle, Cruel and Unusual, seiferguy, cucka

Final Scores

11: Guisseppe Pizzapie, darkforce898, wandler20
10: Chichevache, KettleWL, aBagorn, Zurreco
9: Smarms, Abugadu, Cruel and Unusual
8: Doltos, Parmesan Basil, Chilichimp, No Butt Stuff, Oldskool,
7: Kalli, Burger Trench, Zimbomonkey, Puppybowl, Blitz7k, Jrizzle, DrKennethNoisewater, seiferguy, Athanatos
6: Raku, Football Fuckerman, waah
5: Metapod, Leperflesh, cucka

Congratulations Guisseppe Pizzapie, darkforce898 and wandler20. You truly were able to guess things about the draft better then anyone else and are our TFF's official draft experts. Let me know if you want avatar certs or anything else wonky and I'll make it happen.
