Hey all you draft "nuts"

[Moderator 3]

We're going to try to run a draft "game thread" tonight to try to make it easy on everyone to keep up (and praise/criticize the picks).  Please join in when the draft starts.

I want everyone who thinks they know their stuff to post who you wouldve (or who ozzie shouldve if youre one of those that thinks oz should be fired) taken at our pick(s) with who was left on the board.

Theres a lot of talk around here and this is closing. Time to walk the walk.

Put your rep on the line and make the picks within the reality of the situation the team is dealt. And then we can save the ones we care about, critique in a year or 2 or 3 (i hope we all merge somewhere else and stay active), and then make fun of how bad we all are at evaluating talent even though we think we're great.

You're almost forgiven for shutting down the forums.

Does that mean a "game thread" is a good thing?

Yes haha. Probably makes your job as Moderators easier as well so you only have to monitor one place instead of 35.

[Moderator 3]

That, too, but it seemed more convenient for everyone not to be spread out through the Ravens Talk, Other Teams, and Draft forums. (Oh, and those people who always try to hijack the blogs).

so will this be the game thread, or will it actually be over in game threads.

Please add a note about not spoiling the picks as well.

YES, especially 1st round.

THough i think the NFL is dropping the hammer on any media guys releasing info. I think they can face serious fines and stuff for releasing any info about teams picks before theyre announced on TV.

But, just in case. Also good to make it a rule here.

yea i think they realized it ruins the drama of the spectacle whne everyone watching knows the picks before theyre announced. Plus im sure it hurts viewership bc people know they can just keep their twitter feed going and get the picks that way.

So i think theyre going silent and letting it all play out in real time on TV this year.

[JoeyFlex5]

I'll post where I want because there's no rules where there is no future. 

 

Follow me to the dark side posters, make a new thread for every comment you have! No comments, all OPs!

We do this anyway. It's always been done. They just delete the draft sections every year and it's lost

Seriously, the mods should bring back the old draft threads for discussion on here. Would be a fun way to look back

It's in Ravens Talk.  Only admins can start threads in the Game Threads forum.

Speaking of spoilers, here is some info on all of that

I wanted Honey Badger and La'el.  If Conley falls to the 2nd, pull the damn trigger, Ozzie!

[Underdogsontop!]

Rumor has it he won't. I'm usually hesitant about character concerns but these about Conley seem awfully fishy

That makes all of us. Lol

Man the guy that I dreamed was going to be a Raven is now a Jauguar. I am bummed out because I was a huge Fournette fan and thought he would've taken our offense to the next level.
