Status: offline 		This is sort of the pre-thread to the contest. While it went very well last year, looking back at some of the questions on the entry form, I thought some of them could use some refining.

Listed is last year's entry form. The questions in red will not return for this 2011 edition.


2010 Draft Challenge Entry Questions

Name the Team that Selects Sam Bradford:
Name the Last Player in the Draft's Green Room to be Selected:
Who Will be the First Team to Trade Up:
Who Will be the First Team to Trade Down:
Who Will be the First Team to Trade for a Player:
In What Round will Tim Tebow be Selected:
Who Will be the Vikings' 1st Draft Pick Selected:

Tiebreaker
Who Will be the Vikings 2nd Draft Pick Selected:


The 2011 Challenge will be live on April 8.

For anyone wondering, the Bradford and Tebow questions will return and the names will obviously be replaced with two players from this year's draft. I have some ideas for a couple of new questions, but I want to get some of your suggestions as well. What are some new questions you all think would work well on this year's challenge?

Status: offline 		Some of the new questions I'm considering:


How many quarterbacks will be drafted in the 1st round?

Who will be the 1st Wide Receiver taken?

How many trades involving 2011 1st round draft picks will occur?

Who will be the Packers 1st Draft Pick selected?

Who will be the Bears 1st Draft Pick selected?

Who will be the Lions 1st Draft Pick selected?

Will the Vikings' 1st Draft Selection be in the green room (yes or no question)?


I did not include any actual named player questions since I already know what players I am using for those (theyre both quarterbacks). Thoughts? More suggestions?

So the first WR/RB/QB/TE/C/OT/OG/DE/DT/LB/S/CB?

What draft pick will be having a televised party that ends before he gets picked?

Status: offline 		Friendly reminder.. you have 10 days to submit/edit your draft challenge entry. Dont let the draft sneak up on you and miss out on submitting an entry. The game is locked after the 1st pick is made.

Its weird.. two days to go (more or less), and I still dont really know what the Vikings are going to do at #12, nor do I have any clues about most of those entry questions.. fun times.

Status: offline 		Really is weird, man. Almost nothing would shock me. It's been a long time since we've been this in the dark on a Vikings pick. Or any of the 1st rd picks really, for that matter.

Could be a crazy draft.
