Prior to the draft, Ben Harbaugh set up the 2012 Armchair GM Championship and I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the results.
He established the rules as follows:
-- In the order you feel is likeliest, rank the 20 prospects most likely to be drafted by your team.-- If your top prospect is selected, you score 20 points for that pick. If your second ranked prospect is selected - 19 points, etc. How you weight your predictions to players projected in first few rounds to those likely to be chosen in the later rounds is up to you.
-- Whoever accumulates the most points by the end of the draft is the winner.
The winner was DavidinBellingham with a total of 39 points. I actually thought HI Hawk 808 had a very impressive showing, as he picked four of the five players anyone did.
Anyway, the detailed results are as follows, in the order they were submitted [#pick, player name, (#points)]:
