Draft Time, nyuk nyuk

This entry was posted by on Tuesday, 15 April, 2025 at

It’s that time of year. April 24, NFL draft day. Green Bay, Lambeau Field (named after Curly!), site of the most recent Steelers Super Bowl appearance, oh so long ago. Also the career proving ground for the ancient quarterback the Steelers are trying to land prior to the draft. I’m sure there must be some mystical significance, but we’d need a Dark Retreat to figure it out.

You have up until the day before the draft to produce your predictions: have your predictions in no later than midnight ET, April 23rd. If you submit a mock earlier than that, you may edit the mock up until the deadline (e.g., in the event of a signing or trade that wrecks your initial mock). 

Please use the following format as a template. Any deviation from this format that causes me to have to interpret your gibberish will result in unfavorable scoring, so beware.

Identify any trades if applicable
Round (Pick) – Position, Name, School
1 (21)  – WR, Moe Howard, Harvard
2 (n/a)  – (DK Metcalf)
3 (83) – OG, Curly Howard, Stanford
4 (123) – ILB, Larry Fine, Yale
5 (156) – NT, Joe DeRita, Brown
6 (185)  – RB, Shemp Howard, Princeton
7 (229) – PK, Emil Sitka, Allegheny County Community College
Add up to five UFAs

This year, you may submit up to two mocks: one without any trades, and one with trades.

As in the past, you will be given two points for each correct name, and one point for each correct position/round combination. For UDFA selections, you will get a point only for a specific name. I may give or take other points for special predictions or egregious failures, at my sole dictatorial discretion.

Trades: Given the difficulty and risks of predicting a trade, I will grant bonus points for a successful prediction. If you predict a trade, you will be granted bonus points as follows:

  • +1 if you correctly predict the trade partner
  • +1 if you correctly predict the Steelers pick position(s) being traded
  • +5 if you correctly predict the partner, the Steelers pick position(s) and the partner’s pick position(s)

I normally kick things off with my own predictions, but I’m not quite ready yet. There is still time for you to have the glory of being first.

Good luck, ladies and gentlemen…
