jees, have the Redskins jump enough?

Yeah those are good things to do. *nods*

12 game winning streak. GET SOME! Sun Yue is the best offensive defensive player of all time.

So... no merit at all then.

I avoiding voting Vick because all the black fans would vote for him. The Great White Hope needs every edge he can get.

Johnson, K.Williams, Rodgers, Willis, Ware, Ngata, Asomugha and Nicks. Some very hard choices here.

Here we go, mega Mock draft. I apologize for lack of comments, but really, once you see this thing, you can ask me anything. 1. Cam Newton, QB, Auburn 2. from Blaine Gabbert, QB, Mizzou 3. Von Miller, DE/OLB, Texas A&M 4. from Marcel Dareus, DT, Alabama 5. from A.J. Green, WR, Georgia 6. from Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU 7. Nick Fairley, DE, Auburn 8. from Robert Quinn, OLB, North Carolina 9. from Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska 10. from Julio Jones, WR, Alabama 11. :Patriots: from Aldon Smith, DE, Mizzou 12. Tyron Smith, OT, USC 13. from Cameron Jordan, DE, Cal 14. DaQuan Bowers, DE, Clemson 15. from Ryan Kerrigan, DE, Purdue 16. Christian Ponder, QB, FSU 17. from from :Patriots: from Anthony Castonzo, OT, Boston College 18. J.J. Watt, DE, Wisconsin 19. Corey Liuget, DT, Illinois 20. from Mike Pouncey, OG, Florida 21. from Phil Taylor, NT, Baylor 22. Nate Solder, OT, Colorado 23. Gabe Carimi, OT, Wisconsin 24. from Jake Locker, QB, Washington 25. Jimmy Smith, CB, Colorado The trades and the rest of the picks will be in the next post (emot limit, go figure) will be in my next post.

It took some doing, but I found a permutation that works. It's very nice since we have 16 offense and 16 defense. There are two players from each division on each half of the bracket, there are two offensive and defensive players in each set of 4, and the positions are somewhat evenly spread out. This is pretty much I could do, so i hope you don't mind how it turned out. All numerical seeding has disappeared at this point. Bracket Alpha(Cool Name Bro) QB Tom Brady vs. MLB Jon Beason HB Jamaal Charles vs. DE Trent Cole WR Larry Fitzgerald vs. DE Julius Peppers HB Adrian Peterson vs. CB Darrelle Revis QB Drew Brees vs. DE Mario Williams DE Justin Tuck vs. QB. Philip Rivers S Troy Polamalu vs. MLB James Laurinaitis OT Joe Thomas vs. HB Maurice Jones-Drew Bracket Omega (Yes these will be in separate topics for this round, not enough poll space otherwise.) WR Andre Johnson vs. CB Champ Bailey DT Kyle Williams vs. WR Calvin Johnson QB Aaron Rodgers vs. OLB James Harrison WR Roddy White vs. MLB Patrick Willis OLB DeMarcus Ware vs. C Nick Mangold QB Peyton Manning vs. DT Haloti Ngata CB Nnamdi Asomugha vs. TE Jason Witten DE Justin Smith vs. OG Carl Nicks

This project is a massive undertaking, and a good way to kill time in the off season. The structure of this tournament is simple, we take the best 16 players in each division, and pair them up in a single elimination tournament until only one remains. However, before we even get to that stage, we must run a qualifying round. That is where you come in. If you have the time, open up topics in each division forum that doesn't already have them, and put up topics titled '2011 Best Player in the NFL: Qualifying Round' with the division in the topic description. From there, ask the users to give you their top 6 players for each team in the division. Example: Houston Texans +6 Andre Johnson +5 Mario Williams +4 Matt Schaub +3 DeMeco Ryans +2 Eric Winston +1 Owen Daniels Let those run for three days and I'll tally the totals up. From there we need to run a Seeding/ Elimination round to reduce the divisional group of 24 into 16. This will ensure that only the best players make it out of the division, even if some teams aren't equally represented. For now, just get the qualifying round topics up. And as a bonus, for those of you who weren't around last year, I have some of the results, at least for the Sweet Sixteen. Theoretical Percent of votes the player would get against the champion Drew Brees last year. Drew Brees 50.00% Peyton Manning 46.67% Patrick Willis 44.44% Darrelle Revis 42.86% DeMarcus Ware 42.42% Nnamdi Asomugha 35.56% Andre Johnson 34.29% Steven Jackson 29.09% Philip Rivers 27.27% Troy Polamalu 27.27% Joe Thomas 23.33% Aaron Rodgers 21.82% Calvin Johnson 16.97% *Jake Long 16.67% Trent Cole 16.16% *Tony Gonzalez 15.15% *Adjusted for Blowouts. So yeah, you know what to do.

Ok, we made it the final 32, here is the breakdown (we did a great job with seeding) 8 Number 1 seeds 8 Number 2 seeds 8 Number 3 seeds 3 Number 4 seeds 4 Number 5 seeds 1 Number 13 seed By Team (those not mentioned have a single representative) Teams with 2 Representatives Jets Steelers Texans Cowboys Saints 49ers Teams with No rep Dolphins Bengals Titans Redskins Buccaneers Seahawks By Position QB - 5 HB - 3 WR - 4 TE - 1 OT - 1 OG - 1 C - 1 DE - 5 DT - 2 OLB - 2 MLB - 3 CB - 3 S - 1 So 16 offense, and 16 defense, shame there is still so much slant towards skill positions though. The bracket will be up in the next post, I'm going to try to do a combination of options B and C, so we'll see how this turns out.

and here are the results. This is the last division to close so... 1. Larry Fitzgerald 14 8. Steven Jackson 0 5. James Laurinaitis 9 4. Vernon Davis 6 6. OJ Atogwe 4 3. Justin Smith 10 7. Lofa Tatupu 0 2. Patrick Willis 14 No rematches this time around, James Laurinaitis is making his first appearance in the top 32. The Entire bracket should be up in Gen NFL later this morning.

It took 7 divisions but we finally has a player who could be considered a cinderella in Jon beason. 1. Drew Brees 14 8. Charles Johnson 1 5. John Abraham 5 13. Jon Beason 10 6. Jordan Gross 3 3. Roddy White 12 10. Josh Freeman 6 2. Carl Nicks 9 No rematches this time around, Carl Nicks and Roddy White are making their first foray into the final 32 though. The Bracket should be up in the General NFL forum later today.

Here are the Results: 1. Aaron Rodgers 14 9. Tramon Williams 0 5. Chad Greenway 2 4. Julius Peppers 12 6. Clay Matthews 6 3. Adrian Peterson 8 7. Brian Urlacher 2 2. Calvin Johnson 12 There was a rematch in the prior round between Kevin Williams and Julius Peppers (former 2 and 7 seeds respectively), where Kevin Williams won 8-3. But otherwise, no awesome revenge matches. The Brackets will be up in gen NFL later this morning.

And this topic is now closed. Here are the results: 1. DeMarcus Ware 15 9. Tony Romo 0 5. London Fletcher 6 4. Jason Witten 9 6. Ahmad Bradshaw 0 3. Justin Tuck 15 10. LeSean McCoy 1 2. Trent Cole 14 No rematches this time around, the bracket will be up in General NFL later this morning.

The results are in, thank you for voting everyone. 1. Nnamdi Asomugha 13 9. Ryan Clady 0 5. Champ Bailey 10 4. Tamba Hali 3 6. Antonio Gates 6 3. Jamaal Charles 7 7. Brandon Flowers 0 2. Philip Rivers 13 So the brackets will be up in the morning in the General NFL forum. No Rematches this time around, sorry. There was one in round one between Rivers and Dumervil, where Rivers was the former number 1, and Dumervil the former number 4.

Vote away, amigos.

The Results are in! 1. Andre Johnson 12 8. Reggie Wayne 1 5. Chris Johnson 3 4. Mario Williams 10 6. Dwight Freeney 2 3. Peyton Manning 11 7. Jason Jones 0 2. Maurice Jones-Drew 13 There were a coupla rematches from last year. Previously the 6th seeded Dwight Freeney lost to the second seeded Peyton Manning 12-1, and previously 5th seeded Mario Williams barely eked out former 4th seed Chris Johnson on a tiebreaker vote in a 7-7 match. The brackets will be up in the morning in the General NFL forum.

And the final results are 1. Troy Polamalu 15 9. Joe Haden 3 5. James Harrison 11 4. Ben Roethlisberger 7 6. Ed Reed 5 3. Joe Thomas 13 10. Terrell Suggs 1 2. Haloti Ngata 17 The Bracket should be up later this morning. There was a rematch in this round as well, last year the 9th seeded Ed Reed lost to the number 1 seed Joe Thomas 7-4, and this time he lost 13-5. Not getting any easier for the Raven.

and at the end of the day, the results are: 1. Tom Brady 15 8. Vince Wilfork 0 5. Nick Mangold 10 4. Jake Long 5 6. Cameron Wake 6 3. Kyle Williams 9 10. Jerod Mayo 0 2. Darrelle Revis 15 The Bracket is still TBA, but there was a rematch from last year, and where the former number 1 Jake Long ousted the number 4 Nick Mangold 7-3 back then, Mangold came out on top this time around. Thanks for voting everyone, the new brackets should be up this morning.

no kidding...

hahaha, you have to get at least Auburn player, like it or not! Now eat your peas.

The trade up was so you weren't left holding the bag with an inferior DE still on the board. With both Aldon Smith and Bowers going, there was really only defensive end worth the selection at 20, and he could have gone in the span between Miami and Tampa, specifically to the Jags.
