A lot of great things have happened at, or because of this site for me…Live-Blogs, Radio Interviews, Television, Print Media…but I’m pretty sure this will be the early leader in the clubhouse.
I introduce to you The Complete Sports Blogger’s NFL Mock Draft Version 1.0!
(Here is a portion of the email I sent out to over 50 bloggers last night at around 10 pm.)

Well to my surprise just about everyone got involved, and within a matter of minutes. Here’s how it’s going to go down…….
Before the draft……Preparation and analysis will be key. Every single blog has the opportunity to trade their pick to another GM (Blog) if they so choose. For example….The Big Lead could trade the Falcons to me for the Patriots second pick in the first for…..well, basically anything. It could be a week’s worth of posts…..a link on the site…..an add in a site’s blogroll…..a free t-shirt…..you get the idea.
On Draft day……At an undisclosed location in downtown New York City (Email) each Sports Aficionado will step to the podium (hit reply in said email) and make their selection. Every single GM will be able to respond/heckle said pick (reply all button), and hilarity will ensue. Pretty simple right?
The audience (you the commenter) will then have an opportunity on Monday April 23rd and Tuesday April 24th to tell them why they were right or wrong. There will be 16 picks each day, and they will go up every 15 minutes starting at 12 noon.
For those of you not involved I’m sorry I couldn’t get word to you. But there’s still an opportunity for you! I’d like to have a whole new set of 32 Blogs do the 2nd round. Overkill? Probably, but who cares right??? It will be fun…..trust me. If you are interested email me at AwfulAnnouncing@gmail.com with 2nd Mock Draft as the subject because I get thousands of emails a day (actually because I’m lazy and Gmail search is very conducive to said laziness).
I hope you enjoy, and thanks to the jaw-dropping list below for your involvement.
