Stampede Blue 2010 Draft Prediction Contests

It's back for 2010!  Time once again to predict both the entire first round of the 2010 NFL Draft, and every pick the Colts have (8 in all).  It's going to be almost identical to last year, mainly because I like the system.  Here goes:

Colts Full 7 Round Draft:

This is where we separate the experts from the Todd McShays.  You will predict who the Colts will take with each of their 8 picks in the draft.  Like I said above, we're keeping the same scoring system as last year:

10 pts for taking the correct player at the correct pick.
5 pts for choosing a correct player but at a different pick.
3 pts for choosing the correct position (QB, RB, DT etc.) with a particular pick, regardless of individual player selected.
2 pts for each position you correctly guess that the Colts will take, regardless of where they are taken.

In the interest of time, I didn't input over 600 potential draftees for you to choose from, so you have to write them out.  Please input them in the following format:  First Name Last Name - Position (Abbreviation).  For example, if you think the Colts will take Charles Brown first, you'd input:

Charles Brown - OT


Also, be simple with your positions.  Use "LB" instead of "OLB" or "ILB".  This will help me tremendously, and I thank all of you in advance.  I've put the form after the jump, so you don't have to go anywhere to submit your picks.

After the jump, you'll get the link to the NFL.com Predict the Pick Group, the rules, and the form for the Colts 7 Round Draft.  You have until Thursday, April 22 at 6:00 PM ET.  No exceptions.  I'll have a full spreadsheet up by pick 10 or so, so you can see who everyone picked.

Complete First Round:  This one is pretty easy.  Select each of the first 32 players selected.  We've set up a Stampede Blue group on NFL.com for all of us to make predictions.  Use the password gocolts to join the group.  Here's how the scoring works:

Point Level Definition Fantasy Points Earned
Correct Pick 100 Fantasy Points will be awarded for each selected prospect on your Draft Card who was picked during round 1 of the Draft in the same number order as your selection.

Example: if you selected John Doe to be picked first on your Draft Card and if during the 2009 NFL Draft he was actually picked first, then you will receive 100 Fantasy Points.
100 Fantasy Points
One Away 50 Fantasy Points will be awarded for each selected prospect on your Draft Card who was picked during round 1 of the Draft either 1 position before or after your selection.

Example: if you selected John Doe to be picked second on your Draft Card and if during the 2009 NFL Draft he was actually picked either first or third, then you will receive 50 Fantasy Points.
50 Fantasy Points
Two Away 20 Fantasy Points will be awarded for each selected prospect on your Draft Card who was picked during round 1 of the Draft either 2 positions before or after your selection.

Example: if you selected John Doe to be picked third on your Draft Card and if during the 2009 NFL Draft he was actually picked either first or fifth, then you will receive 20 Fantasy Points.
20 Fantasy Points
Three Plus (but still selected in first round) 10 Fantasy Points will be awarded for each selected prospect on your Draft Card who was picked during round 1 of the Draft either 3 or more positions before or after your selection.

Example: if you selected John Doe to be picked tenth on your Draft Card and if during the 2009 NFL Draft he was actually picked seventh (or earlier) or between thirteenth and thirty-second, then you will receive 10 Fantasy Points.
10 Fantasy Points

 

Additionally, you will have the opportunity to earn Bonus Fantasy Points, which are based on the quantity of Correct Picks (as defined above) made on your Draft Card as follows:

Point Level

Bonus Fantasy Points Earned

5 to 9 Correct Picks

100 Bonus Fantasy Points

10 to 14 Correct Picks

200 Bonus Fantasy Points

15 to 19 Correct Picks

300 Bonus Fantasy Points

20 to 24 Correct Picks

400 Bonus Fantasy Points

25 to 29 Correct Picks

500 Bonus Fantasy Points

30 or 32 Correct Picks

600 Bonus Fantasy Points

I've already uploaded the Community Mock Draft in there, so we can see how we did as a group. I'm sure other SBNation sites will have a group, so we need to make sure we have the most people. Everyone make those picks!
