2009 Superhero Hype NFL Mock Draft Sign Up!

[StorminNorman]

First things first, Alex the Great - this doesn't belong in either the NFL Thread or the NFL Draft Thead.

So what is the point of this thread? Why a game of course!

You, the SHH! Poster, become the GM of your favorite, second favorite or random team on draft day. Together we combined will make an official Superherohype Mock Draft. My goal would be to do at least two rounds (mainly to allow Carolina and Dallas a chance to be active), though this is subject to change should the majority of participants not be comfortable going beyond round 1.

Trades involving both draft picks and players will be allowed.

This draft will likely go over two or three days simply due to logistics.

My goal would be to do this draft a week before the actual NFL draft.

If you are interested, simply respond indicating such as well as which team you would prefer. If you are interested in multiple teams, give me which teams you would like - though if another poster is interested in one of your teams, they will receive that team.

Teams will be rewarded by first come, first serve.

I am comfortable with any team for this, so I will wait to make my selection.

****

My goal on Draft Day is for an NFL Draft Day Thread consisting of not only this Mock Draft, but any other Mock Draft submitted by a Hype Poster.

Points for accuracy will be rewarded for Poster Submitted Mock Drafts, the winner having the option of starting the 2010 NFL Draft
Thread.

[Cmill216]

How has this gone ignored? I'd like to play, and I think it should definitely go two rounds.

I'd take New England and Cleveland.

[Dr. Evil]

Dallas and Houston.

[Excel]

I will do Chicago and St. Louis

[NewYorkSpider]

Buffalo and Carolina

[StorminNorman]

I will take Jacksonville and Detroit.

If anyone wants either team let me know and we can work something out.

[Dark Donnie]

Give me Philly and Denver please...I could do another team if you need more.

[danielisthor]

Miami and San Diego

[Excel]

When can we begin talking to others about trades?

[StorminNorman]

35 minutes ago.

If a team has been claimed, you can start trade talks.

[The Incredible Hulk]

i will take jacksonville and detroit.

If anyone wants either team let me know and we can work something out.

:( ....

uhh I'll take KC and Oakland I guess

[RAMORE]

I'll take the Tampa Bay Bucs! So basically I just cut, sign, draft and trade players like I was in charge right?

[Cmill216]

I'll take the Tampa Bay Bucs! So basically I just cut, sign, draft and trade players like I was in charge right?

No. You're just running the draft.

[RAMORE]

But Norman said you can do trades that involve the draft so do you pm that owners team or discuss on here?

[StorminNorman]

:( ....

uhh I'll take KC and Oakland I guess

If you want Detroit, fine. Tell me which of these two teams you would prefer to keep as well.

I'll take the Tampa Bay Bucs! So basically I just cut, sign, draft and trade players like I was in charge right?

You can't cut or sign players - but you do can trade anyone on the Bucs roster.

But Norman said you can do trades that involve the draft so do you pm that owners team or discuss on here?

Either. If you want it to be secretive, PM. If you want to use a "trading block" style - post in the thread.

[The Incredible Hulk]

If you want Detroit, fine. Tell me which of these two teams you would prefer to keep as well.



aww Normy, you're the best :up: ;)

I guess I can keep Oakland too, unless someone else would prefer to have them. I dont mind either way...

[StorminNorman]

Hulk now has control of Detroit and Oakland. I now have control of Houston and Jacknsoville.

[RAMORE]

You can't cut or sign players - but you do can trade anyone on the Bucs roster.

Either. If you want it to be secretive, PM. If you want to use a "trading block" style - post in the thread.

In that case:

Clayton, Michael WR 6-4 215 10/13/1982 6 Louisiana State Baton Rouge, LA
Anybody interested. I'm looking for a WR in return or open to other options.

[RAMORE]

Or I would take a second round pick if they took Clayton and my 4th.

[Cmill216]

Cleveland Browns: Derek Anderson and Braylon Edwards are on the Trading Block.

[Dark Donnie]

Denver:
Jay Cutler, Tony Scheffler are both on the block

Philadelphia:
Sheldon Brown is on the block



Team Needs:

Denver:

D Line Help

Philadelphia:

WR, LT

[Dr. Evil]

Hulk now has control of Detroit and Oakland. I now have control of Houston and Jacknsoville.

I'll take The Jets then.

[Excel]

The Rams and Bears are open to offers reguarding any player.

[StorminNorman]

I'll take The Jets then.

Oh, I over looked you. Would you prefer NYJ or Houston.

[Excel]

Psh Donnie check ya pms.

[Cunning Stunts]

I'll take Pittsburgh and New Orleans.

[Dr. Evil]

Oh, I over looked you. Would you prefer NYJ or Houston.

The Jets because I know what they need the most and the guy I want could be there. With Houston, I don't know if the guy I would want would be there.

[Cmill216]

Cleveland Browns: Derek Anderson, Braylon Edwards, Shaun Rogers are on the Trading Block.

Updated to include Shaun Rogers.

[StorminNorman]

Because I reserved the right to change my mind, I have traded Houston for Minnesota.

[Excel]

Can we trade future picks?

Go for it.

[Excel]

Danielisthor is doing San Diego.

[RAMORE]

Cleveland Browns: Derek Anderson and Braylon Edwards are on the Trading Block.

What were you thinking for Edwards? He hasn't really lived up at all to his potential but he still has a shot.

[RAMORE]

So if we make a trade we just announce it here right?

Can I drop New Orleans and take Seattle?

[Alex The Great]

Give me The Bungles.

Here's a interesting idea. How bout we make up our own teams, then draft rookies and start them, like a fantasy team. it would be funzies.

[Cmill216]

What were you thinking for Edwards? He hasn't really lived up at all to his potential but he still has a shot.

I'm listening to offers.

[Cmill216]

[Cunning Stunts]

Just a quick question: will this pan out into any sort of a game during the season?

[Alex The Great]

I just had a incredible idea that's better than your's Norman. But i'm too lazy to make it so :csad:


P.S I'm out.

[StorminNorman]

Just a quick question: will this pan out into any sort of a game during the season?

This will really just play into a contest for who makes the 2010 Draft thread.

If someone wants to refine Alexander's deal to make this into a long term game, I am willing to listen to suggestions.

[Alex The Great]

It'd be fun if maybe....you use the players you drafted as your fantasy team or something.

[Caped Crusader]

I'll take the New York Giants :)

[Cunning Stunts]

Maybe the results could lead to more draft picks/higher draft picks/etc. in SHH's Fantasy Football league?

(Unless you guys use some automated program)

*Edit* And with this idea, maybe we get to keep our draft picks from THIS draft, as Alex The Great said?

[The Incredible Hulk]

Both the #1 and #20 picks are on the block if the Price is Right.....

[RAMORE]

I'm listening to offers.

How about clayton and a third round?

[StorminNorman]

Introducing the "RAMORE" rule. Players that have just been granted multi-year contracts by a team during the 2009 off season are not tradeable. Players who have agreed to one year contracts or franchise tags are still tradeable.

[Cmill216]

How about clayton and a third round?

Let me save you the trouble: nobody wants Michael Clayton. There's nothing attractive about him.

I'm not going to give up a WR one year removed from a 16 touchdown Pro Bowl season for a guy who's scored two touchdowns in four years.

[Cmill216]

Cleveland Update:

- The #5 pick is up for grabs. Teams looking to trade up? Contact me.
- Derek Anderson is available for a 2nd or less. Contact me.
- Braylon Edwards is available for trade. Contact me.

New England Update:

- Laurence Maroney is available for trade. Contact me.

[Cmill216]

TRADE ANNOUNCEMENT:

The Chicago Bears have traded the 49th overall selection (2nd Round) to the New England Patriots in exchange for RB Laurence Maroney.

http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/9050/nflumaroney580.jpg

[Excel]

Word, Maroney is a top 10 talent :up: :up:

Though Forte was good all around, he had 10 games where his ypc was under 4. Forte/Maroney combo will be much more efficient as they try to become more of a running team to make room for the franchise QB, whenever he should arrive.

Forte is the classic big pounder, while Maroney slashing ram style of running balances perfectly. Forte will get more playing time in general as he will be the primary blocker and goalline back, as well he would start the 1st drive and go 1st. However, Maroney would get the more carries of the 2. It would be something like 15-17 Maroney, 13-15 for Forte. Forte would be the 1st quarter hurter and 4th quarter clock killer, while Maroney would be used to slice through defenses and move the ball in the 2nd and 3rd. Id have a lot of formations with both of them on field as Maroney is far more dangerous in the open field than Forte.

Matt Forte will be the pounder, move the chains, clock killer with Maroney as the shifty, change of direction, big play back

TRADE ANNOUNCEMENT:

The Cleveland Browns have traded Derek Anderson and the 104th overall selection (4th Round) to the New York Jets in exchange for the 52nd overall selection (2nd Round).

http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/8762/t2derekandersonsi.jpg

[Cunning Stunts]

SS Tyrone Carter
P Mitch Berger

Seattle's Trade Block:

1st Round Pick (4th Overall)
QB/WR Seneca Wallace
DE Patrick Kerney
K Olindo Mare

[Dr. Evil]

Acquiring Derek Anderson means that I don't have to reach to get Josh Freeman. Now I can concentrate on getting the best player available and going for a value pick.

[StorminNorman]

Great trade on both ends there.

[Cmill216]

TRADE ANNOUNCEMENT:

The Oakland Raiders have traded RB Michael Bush to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for the 50th overall pick (2nd Round) and Cleveland's 2010 3rd Round Pick.

[Cunning Stunts]

I strongly feel like we should pan this out into a fantasy-style game. I mean, if I took the Colts, I could trade for the Detroit "owner's" 1st rounder and it will make no difference other than, "I make the next thread."

Anyone savvy enough with Fantasy Football to run something like that?

Oh and CMill, I've decided to accept your offer if you decide to go through with it.

[Excel]

That could be cool. We'd have to do a fantasy league where the commissioner does the draft, and simply gives us the players on each team. It could be abit unfair...i.e., I know on the Bears I said I would do a Maroney-Forte combo...but on seperate teams theyll get more playing time, ect.

But it could still be cool.

But it could still be cool.

Maybe it could work like this:

Each player gets one NFC and one AFC team.

Owners are allowed rights to each player on his or her team, whether to use them or trade them.

Each year, our own NFC and AFC fantasy record determines what our order is in choosing full teams in next year's draft, a month before the actual NFL draft.

The teams we choose determine our own draft of NFL rookies.

Basically, each year, the teams re-set, and we choose two new teams, have our own drafts, trades, etc.

[StorminNorman]

Does the Hype already have a Fantasy Football Keeper league?

Really I can't see how this can turn into something Fantasy related simply because of all the small details that can't be simulated.

That does not mean, however, that I wouldn't totally be in for a long term Keeper league.

It'd be rough to do a keeper considering we're loosely basing this off of whole NFL teams (that we are able to modify) instead of our own, simulated teams.

[StorminNorman]

I am not saying the two would be related. Again, I don't see how it would be possible to turn this into more than just a fake off season.

[Cunning Stunts]

I am not saying the two would be related. Again, I don't see how it would be possible to turn this into more than just a fake off season.

I can figure out a format to organize, as I've already got a loose idea. I just don't know how to do the points and calculations, so if someone else is capable of that, this could be done.

Basically:

-Each owner receives one NFC and one AFC team each (or we can break it down to all 32 teams, whichever). The owner is allowed to use the players from these teams (either separately or together, that'd have to be decided), whether he/she wants to trade or keep them for use later is up to them.

-We would likely have to limit this to Fantasy-usable players (no trading offensive linemen, individual defensive players, etc.).

-Using this format, we receive draft picks for our Mock NFL Draft depending on how the ACTUAL NFL team does in the ACTUAL NFL games (i.e., NOT our Fantasy games). The actual team's draft picks become our own, and we are free to trade and/or keep them as we wish.

-At the end of each season, we arrange our own draft of NFL teams (basically, in order of record [best to worst], we get to choose which team[s] we will own for the next season). The whole process from here starts over.

-From here, based on the actual NFL's records (and any traded/compensatory picks from the previous year), we draft rookies to our own new team(s).

Just a loose idea of how it could work, but I think we could do this if we get a dedicated commissioner.

Introducing the "RAMORE" rule. Players that have just been granted multi-year contracts by a team during the 2009 off season are not tradeable. Players who have agreed to one year contracts or franchise tags are still tradeable. That sort of sucks it ruins the whole thing that made the game cool...being in control:cmad:

Let me save you the trouble: nobody wants Michael Clayton. There's nothing attractive about him.

I'm not going to give up a WR one year removed from a 16 touchdown Pro Bowl season for a guy who's scored two touchdowns in four years.

Well it was worth a try I know he's awful that's why I don't want him but maybe in a better situation he'll be better like his rookie year.

[Caped Crusader]

I have 2 2nd & 3rd round picks if anyones interested..

I'm looking for a receiver, mine my might be going to jail.

That sort of sucks it ruins the whole thing that made the game cool...being in control:cmad:

No, it allows for plenty in control. It just prevents players from doing completely illogical moves - like trading a player a team just spent good time locking up for a long term contract.

For example, there is no way in hell Michael Clayton would be traded to anyone.

[RAMORE]

Not true because if I was in charge today he would be traded tomorrow!

TRADE ANNOUNCEMENT:

The Seattle Seahawks have traded QB Seneca Wallace to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in exchange for the 81st overall pick (3rd Round).

[StorminNorman]

It takes two to trade.

Also, the "undisclosed draft picks" need to be disclosed to me. A trade is not official until I am informed of all the details.

[StorminNorman]

Record has been modified, the two parties can publicly announce the terms (or not) if they so wish.

So will he be throwing passes or catching them?

[Cunning Stunts]

Just to put it out there, as Seattle's and Pittsburgh's owner, everything and everyone is tradable to me... Including my #1s.

I'm looking to trade up with Pittsburgh.

How much of a douchey movie would it be to trade first-rounders between my own two teams? :p

[RAMORE]

I thought of that but I didn't know if it was allowable:D


Dr. Evil to answer your question he'll be throwing them. I think he's underrated.

The Cleveland Browns have traded WR Donte Stallworth to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for the 120th overall pick (4th Round) and a conditional 2010 2nd round pick.

Bad move, now you cant trade Edwards, and Stallworth is nasty when he is healthy.

[Cmill216]

Bad move, now you cant trade Edwards, and Stallworth is nasty when he is healthy.

I completely disagree. Mainly because, he's never healthy.

He's a perennial underachiever who may face jail time anyway. Stallworth has never been nasty. Ever.

[Excel]

Either way your forced to keep Edwards or face losing your 3 biggest recieving weapons.

[Cmill216]

Either way your forced to keep Edwards or face losing your 3 biggest recieving weapons.

Edwards is still on the block, technically. But unless I get a slam dunk deal, then no. He's not going anywhere.

I dumped Stallworth for very good reasons.

I love this deal for my Jaguars. We need WR's desperately. If Stallworth doesn't pan out he costs us a 4th round pick, if he does it is well worth the second rounder in 2010.

The Browns only get that pick if he makes the Pro Bowl.

[Excel]

I dont know who else would join; so Ill take the Arizona Cardinals.

[StorminNorman]

I'm going to allow until Sunday for a two team limit.

After that players will be able to select a third team. Third team selection will be decided in order of who joined this game first.

If you need me to take on another team Norman, I wouldn't mind.

[Cunning Stunts]

Quick question, how deep into the draft are we going? Sorry if I missed the answer...

Steelers On The Block:

First Round Pick (32nd Overall)
Second Round Pick (64th Overall)
(Other Picks as well: 3rd Rd/98 Overall, 4th Rd/132nd Overall- I'm only putting up to 4 because I don't know how far we're going)
RB Mewelde Moore

*Note* Byron Leftwich is a Free Agent, but is apparently still on Pittsburgh's roster... So, if I have his rights, he's on the Block.

Seahawks On The Block:

First Round Pick (4th Overall)
Second Round Pick (37th Overall)
(Also other Picks: 3rd Rd/68 Overall, 3rd Rd/81st Overall, 4th Rd/105 Overall, etc.)
RB Julius Jones
WR Deion Branch

I'm also open to offers on any player/draft pick for both teams.

[Caped Crusader]

On the block

Kansas City Chiefs RB Larry Johnson

[StorminNorman]

Pittsburgh does not own rights to Leftwich and he cannot be traded.

[Dr. Evil]

Pittsburgh does not own rights to Leftwich and he cannot be traded.

True. I do think he will re-sign with Pittsburgh though. No way that they are going into the season with Dennis Dixon as the primary backup to Big Ben.

[StorminNorman]

People can now take a third team.

I am taking Arizona. Excel :woot::oldrazz:

The Browns have exchanged the 29th, 60th, and 91st overall picks to the Arizona Cardinals for WR Anquan Boldin.

[FaT_tONle]

So when does the draft begin and how long will ppl have to make their selection?

[StorminNorman]

The Draft will begin Friday, April 20th.

[El_Citrus]

I'll try my hand at Houston.

[danielisthor]

Giants got hosed in that trade, but Eli will be much happier

[StorminNorman]

New York is a team in an envious situation. They have no glaring needs outside of WR. Braylon Edwards makes the team better than almost any three players they could of selected.

[Cmill216]

From Cleveland's perspective, I think we upgraded tremendously at the WR position. I'd take Boldin's consistency over Edwards any day, plus Hixon is a more polished receiver at this stage of his career than Cribbs, and he also possesses return capabilities.

And, in reality, we lost absolutely nothing in the trade.

[El_Citrus]

If I'm going to take Houston, what's the policy on free agents? I think there are a couple I wouldn't mind picking up to help Houston's young defense.

[Cmill216]

You can't sign free agents. You can only deal with the players you have.

[Caped Crusader]

Giants got hosed in that trade, but Eli will be much happier

It pretty much came down to wanting a true #1 over grooming another rookie WR, Smith panned out very well for us. Edwards was available, so I knew I had to give up a lot to get him, I knew I had to give up one of my receivers, I felt that giving up Hixon but to get Cribbs back in return was huge. Although Hixon is better overall, Cribbs fills the kick/punt return need with Hixon getting shipped, Cribbs will also be huge in the special trick plays we may run. :cwink:

[Cunning Stunts]

I'm willing to take New Orleans as my third team if it's okay.

[Cmill216]

The Baltimore Ravens have traded fullback Le'Ron McClain to the Houston Texans in exchange for the 46th overall pick.

http://www.baltimoresun.com/media/photo/2008-10/42757004.jpg

The Ravens now only have Willis McGahee & Ray Rice at halfback.

[Cunning Stunts]

Well, my Saints are willing to trade... Well, everyhing. I'm willing to take offers. :up:

[RAMORE]

Anybody huh I'll give you Seneca Wallace, the 19th overall and my first round next year for Drew Brees:D

[Dr. Evil]

Anybody huh I'll give you Seneca Wallace, the 19th overall and my first round next year for Drew Brees:D

That would be awful for New Orleans.

Although, I would be willing to trade a pick for Marques Colston.

[Cunning Stunts]

Anybody huh I'll give you Seneca Wallace, the 19th overall and my first round next year for Drew Brees:D

Considering I traded you Seneca Wallace... No.

[Cunning Stunts]

That would be awful for New Orleans.

Although, I would be willing to trade a pick for Marques Colston.

Offers?

[El_Citrus]

Glad I picked up McClain. He knows the value of a two back system unlike Larry Johnson and is a bit younger. He'll be a great bruiser. I need some help on defense, particularly the secondary. A big, physical safety, a cornerback to pair with Robinson, or a big OLB who would be the leader of this defense for young guys like Adibi, Willams, Okoye, etc. Almost everyone on my roster is available for trades except for Andre Johnson.

[FaT_tONle]

Has Cutler been dealt yet??? Skins are looking for an upgrade at QB and the Broncos have to deal him for sure... I think Donnie Darko has Denver. Lemme know if you are willing to deal him to the Skins. You pretty much know what we have to give.

[Cmill216]

You'd have to ask Norman, but I don't think Donnie HAS to deal Cutler. That's his own business.

[Dark Donnie]

Cutler is available....a 1st is the starting point.

[NewYorkSpider]

My goal on Draft Day is for an NFL Draft Day Thread consisting of not only this Mock Draft, but any other Mock Draft submitted by a Hype Poster.

Points for accuracy will be rewarded for Poster Submitted Mock Drafts, the winner having the option of starting the 2010 NFL Draft
Thread.


How many rounds will this be? Are we doing 2 just like the SHH mock draft?

[FaT_tONle]

I don't know if my PM got through to Darko... the hype got cut off when I submitted it. Let me know if you got the offer.

[Dark Donnie]

I did not...

[RAMORE]

Considering I traded you Seneca Wallace... No.

Hey I like Seneca but if I got Brees I wouldn't need him now would I:D

[StorminNorman]

How many rounds will this be? Are we doing 2 just like the SHH mock draft?

Yes

[Excel]

I think Denver might take a back now in the 1st round.

[StorminNorman]

Concerning the Denver trade, Dark Donnie still holds rights to Jay Cutler. Should Excel wish to make the same trade, we know what's on the table. Otherwise Cutler is still on the trading block.

[El_Citrus]

Norman, on draft day, are we getting points for how accurate our mock draft is in terms of who the teams will actually draft or who the posters here will draft based on roster changes?

[StorminNorman]

How accurate your pick matches with real life.

[Excel]

Concerning the Denver trade, Dark Donnie still holds rights to Jay Cutler. Should Excel wish to make the same trade, we know what's on the table. Otherwise Cutler is still on the trading block.

Haha no ****ing way.

[NewYorkSpider]

So what day will this start? April 20th?

[StorminNorman]

17th.

[Cmill216]

Bump, 'cause this is in three days.

[El_Citrus]

So this weekend, will we hold our own draft based on the trades we've made as well as posting our mock drafts for when the real draft happens?

[StorminNorman]

This weekend will be the draft. For anyone wanting to enter the mock draft competition, there must be one posted in the NFL Draft thread. The deadline for that will be 3:00 EST of the draft.

[RAMORE]

So how will this work Normie you as the commish will say who's on the clock and then they have 12 hours to choose right? Will you list what players are still available?

[StorminNorman]

I will list the players chosen. The first page will be updated with "live mock draft coverage" showing who is on the clock, who has been chosen, by who, etc.

[RAMORE]

Do you know where I can find a complete list of players in the draft then?

[Cmill216]
