Let's be honest, it was only hard because it was about the draft. And the draft not only was hard to predict, but once it actually got going, it went all out of control. There were more trades on the first day than anyone could've expected, and there were at least two players who jumped a good 20 spots or more on the first day. There were several players who dropped like stones, some, including a few tight ends who dropped two or three rounds. A few tight ends who were projected 3rd to 5th round didn't even get drafted. Several mid-round players weren't drafted at all.
Well the next contest will likely happen during training camp/pre-season and will have at least one question meant to stump you but at least it will be focused on just the Dolphins, rather than hundreds of prospects.
Let's take a quick look at contest #1.
CAD, canamdolphin, who claims to be both in New York and in Canada at the same time and has cute nicknames given to him by burly construction workers, creamed the rest of the entrants, scoring a 38. He scored the 38 on the first day, and a big goose egg on the second day.
In fact, almost everyone scored a goose egg on the second day, though believe it or not, one contestant, Craig, actually picked the Dolphins to draft Chris Clemons.
Phinatic and The Knight found themselves in a four-way tie for secondwith 24 points bringing us to the tie-breaker where their moderate guesses beat out the more extreme 25 from herdfan and 312 by Johnathan.
There was a six-way tie behind this group with 22 points. The extra cocky C-Holmes managed a noble 19 points. And bringing up the rear was someone who possibly wishes to remain anonymous, with 16.
The prizes are on their way to the lucky top three, and may be put towards the purchase of brand new Pat White jerseys. Could the Dolphins be the first team to have a 3rd string QB outsell the starter?
On a side note, two of my favorite players from USF did make it into the NFL. Linebacker Tyrone McKenzie was drafted in the 3rd round by the Patriots. He'll be tackling Ronnie Brown soon. And Wide Receiver, Taurus Johnson, signed as a free agent with the Chiefs. Offensive linemen, Matt Huners (49ers) and Ryan Schmidt (Titans) also signed as free agents. One thing I can say about the Bulls o-line, was that they were some tough SOBs. I've never seen such injured players go every game like that. Schmidt started 25 of 25 games played at USF, most of the time in his senior year looking like he had been attacked repeatedly by someone with a chainsaw. I also never saw a football player have his helmet off on the field, limping, rolling around in pain on the ground, or wincing quite so much. Yet he never came off the field. If anyone deserves to get a shot in the NFL, even if it doesn't pan out, it's guys like Schmidt. They definitely worked for it. Before injuries got the better of him, he was projected as a 2nd to 3rd round talent.
So for all the guys who actually deserve a shot, good luck.
