when it was announced the Bears had traded up 1 spot, I was confused ... but then I reasoned "ah - they wanted the #2 pick to be able to trade down and get more than they were offered for the #3" ... and as convoluted as that may have been, it could have / would have made sense

what actually happened did not IMO

In this bizarre draft, it was a war of attrition among those who participated...

MALK - 2 points (to his credit, however, he did call Houston getting Watson & KC getting Mahomes, but didn't predict them trading up to get them...)

UOK, SC BEAR, RING4CHI, MMMC_35 - 3 points

THUNDERSPIRIT, MIDDLEGUARD - 4 points

WAB - 5 points

BORIS13C, ATKINS&REBEL - 6 points

...and your winner, and for the second time the BFO Draft Contest Winner (updated signature on the way...)

ROCKBEAR99 with 9 points! He called the following accurately: Garrett, Fournette, Adams, McCaffrey, Ross, and Charlton.

Well done, Rock! PM me your email address and I'll shoot you the $50 e-certificate toward the Bears official store!

Not for nothing, but I counted 9 points for myself
Garrett (1), McCaffery (1), Davis (3), Charlton (4)

Don't know how that works with the tie breakers, but I at least want credit damn it!
I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!

Dammit, I missed that.

I'll give this 24 hours for people to chime in with their toss-ups.

In the past with ties I just split up the prize pool among the winners.

So you are correct and you and Rockbear tied! If anyone else has grievances with their scores, let me know and I'll look things over again later today.

Looking at your tie breaking procedure, I believe that I take it with 2 correct picks in the 20-32 range after neither of us got any picks right in the 10-20 range. But I'll go with whatever you decide.

Oh damn, you are correct. I knew I was going to make a few errors.

I'll give other entrants through tomorrow to find out if the scoring was messed up. Otherwise Rock takes the crown.

I follow the draft as close as anyone. I believe Rock is a cheater, or he is sleeping with some GMs wife. Good job either way Rock. Me and my 3 points will be headed to the losers corner.
