2008 Mock Draft Contest Archives

April 28, 2008

BBiB!'s Excel spreadsheet is in, and the winner is ...

"Bleecker" and "Rich K," both of whom nailed the first six picks, are the official co-winners of the first official "What About Bob" Mock Draft Contest. Congrats to both contestants, who now have the honor of writing a guest post in our blog. Can't wait for their prose. winner.jpg

(E-mail me at Bob.Glauber@newsday.com, and we'll get it started. No impersonators, please. I'll know who the real winners are.)

BBiB! points out one interesting statistical anomaly (a term we haven't used in months, but one we love to break out): "Jason" got only one pick right ... and it was Derrick Harvey at No. 8. He had Harvey going to Baltimore, but we'll give him credit anyway (Harvey went to Jacksonville in a trade.)

Thanks to all for participating. Even those who gave some ... um ... creative answers. Here's a link to the post for those who want to recapture the magic.

Thanks once more to BBiB!, the official scorekeeper for "What About Bob." His contributions have proven invaluable, and he is welcome to guest blog any time.

You are on the clock, people. Make your picks

It’s time.

BBiB! has his spreadsheets ready to go, so the “What About Bob” mock draft contest has officially begun.

Pick the top 10 overall, throw in the Giants’ pick at No. 31, and we’re in business.

No cash or prizes, since that means getting the Newsday lawyers involved. But we’ll offer up something even better: a guest blog post and a chance at 15 minutes of fame.

We’ll start it off:

1. Dolphins: Jake Long, T, Michigan.

2. Rams: Chris Long, DE, Virginia.

3. Falcons: Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU.

4. Raiders: Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas.

5. Chiefs: Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College.

6. Jets: Vernon Gholston, DE/LB, Ohio State.

7. Patriots: Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, Tennessee State.

8. Ravens: Leodis McKelvin, CB, Troy.

9. Bengals: Sedrick Ellis, DT, USC.

10. Saints: Aqib Talib, CB, Kansas.

31. Giants: Jerod Mayo, LB, Tennessee.

Fire away, people.
