With my 600th post and 19th round pick, jembeurt selects Theron Norman, FS Prep

He is still up in the air with the team, OBU. Considering who gets put back into the draft pool and then who Team Yetty takes in the remaining rounds, he might be a defensive end.
Gotcha.

I would like to formally cast my vote (if I have one) for how we do the "supplemental" round. 5 guys have "Enfuego-ed", leaving a total of 37 players without teams. I think we should re-draw the order and have one round (fine with me if Dan and Harry get picks 1-2 based on the misfortune of their guys). Each guy would basically have the OPTION to upgrade one position if he chose to. There are enough studs on this list that everyone will benefit equally enough IMO. You would have to release a player at the same position as the supplemental pick.
How about we just simply pick them up as free agents.

Hey Dan, how is this for a crazy idea.
First, I still think you and Harry should get Joeckel and Benedict respectively. But as far as the other players go.
Allow someone on this board, who (1.) you can trust, and (2.) is not participating in this draft to arrange all players from the Enfuegoed teams in NO PARTICULAR ORDER. Label those players from 1 to 34 (37 players minus Joeckel, Benedict, and Parlady).
Then, either re-select the drafting order or keep the same order and have each team select a number. Whatever that player is, that would be an additional player ADDED to their team. This way, owners of teams who might be partial to their players would not have to "swap out" any one they have drafted. Every team ends up with one extra player. Which ever players are not taken, whether it be Lattimore or Henderson, so be it. All is fair due to you have know idea who you are picking when you select a number.
Crazy, but very fair to ALL members.

That is a crazy idea. We could definitely do some variation of that.
OU - I don't like the free agents idea because it unfairly gives me an advantage and anyone else that happens to be on at that time would just scoop up the highest guys (theoretically, of course).

Bashaud Breeland S, I'm a big fan of Pelini and think this guy will do well for him. He's also the QB on his high school team which is another factor I'm a fan of when it comes to playing safety
Posted on 4/6/10 at 8:37 pm to OBUDan
I think it would be the fairest way.
Do you know anyone who could help out with this?
Rohan? I mean come on, if you can't trust a guy that "killed Paul Allen... with an axe... in the face", you can't trust anyone.

I am fine with not picking any of the guys from the teams that quit if that makes sense to the majority. If we want to use them, that is fine also. I like the idea of an extra round because it adds some spice to the end of this crazy process, but that is just me.
Dan,
Since this is your baby (and she aint ugly), you decide if you want to take it to a vote. If so, give folks until tomorrow COB to voice their opinion. If so, I suggest you give only two choices.
1 - Leave the teams/players as is.
2 - Do a draft to your liking.

Basic idea. Put all participants in a excel sheet and put all available players that were previously picked by people into same excel sheet.
Make a "random" code and however it falls, it falls.

You should do it the way the NFL does the supplemental draft. You start with a player. Lets say Marcus Lattimore. We start at the beginning of the draft. I would go first and took Ronald Powell with my first pick. If I want Lattimore then I have to dump Powell back into the pool. If I pass then the second guy gets the option to take or pass until someone bites. If I dumped Powell then I would have to get another DE/OLB later on in the draft.
It should go quick because most of those guys are pretty good. I dont see how you can make some of those players available without there being some sort of cost or strategy involved. I guess you could do as you were describing, but that takes the whole spirit out of the draft and what was the point in finishing the last couple rounds. I am sure there is a nose tackle, mlb and safety I would want in there. Personally, I say dump all those players. This isnt checkers and there shouldnt be do overs. The people who have really studied and strategized should not be penalized by giving others the chance to pick up a Lattimore.

Someone who didnt place a premium on a running back now has a Lattimore fall in his lap. That is bullshite.

Like I said, I am fine with this. Quite frankly, I am starting to think it will cause more harm than good. I would much rather keep the teams as they are than get this thing sideways over the guys that flaked out.
Each of our teams will have guys that either never make it to campus or don't stay there due to the reasons that we all understand.
I think it is best that I drink about it now.

But to me everyone is penalized because these players technically should have been in the pool and just because a few hosers quit means now no one can take what are some great players.
Just my take.

How it any different then picking a random order? Or keeping the same order(which is of course random). No matter what its going to be somewhat random.
At least this("the free agent idea") would be a reward to the guys who have been ultra swift with there picks. As I suspect those same guys who were swift with there picks throughou,t would be the ones who will get there free agent pickups posted first.
Anything but having to trade a player to get a player, that is horrible in my opinion.

I like jembeurt prposal of random. Makes it interesting
I also don't like the free agent idea. Someone could have been on the ball all draft and than have an appt and miss the free agent frenzy

I'm strangely intrigued by his random idea as well. Now............would we have the choice to NOT make that switch or would we have to switch out one of our players for the random chosen one?

Suntiger selects Delans Griffin RB from Texas Tech.
This is simply a gut pick. With Tuberville at the helm, I think Tx Tech will start running the ball. I liked Charles Perkins here too and think he will do really well at Ga Tech in that offense, but they have a ton of running backs. I think Griffin may share some playing time early but will eventually become a Kenny Irons workhorse.

As for the leftover picks, I could get behind the idea of one round and everyone gets a supplemental pick. One pick only per team. I'd rather not have the supp pics at all, but increasing the roster by one player isn't so bad and we would all get a quality player.

I think that's a very wise choice for the reasons you listed.
Also, Griffin was a monster on the Oklahoma HS scene. He's been all the rage for the past couple of years.
