interest in me maintaining projected ravens picks?

[ExiledRaven]

Just trying to see if there is interest in me maintaining a list of projected picks, updated weekly on a sunday from the various mocks I can surf up on the internet.

I can plot trends whatever else along those lines if people are interested.

If I get more than 10 posts, I figure it's not a total waste of my time...let me know and I'll get it done and I'll make up for missing this past week.

So far what I'll do it use mock draft that have been updated since january 1, 2007 and then each week update projections and only include mocks updated that week.

I can try to get some space somewhere to link to all the mocks used, etc.

So if you're interested, please post and let me know if there is any information you'd like to see

If it's not too boring or burdensome to keep it up, I would very much like to see it exactly as you described it.

Good idea, ER. I am very interested, because you know mocks will change a million times between now and the actual draft.

I was looking at an old mock from 2002 and noticed that Ed Reed, at one point, was projected to go 15th overall. Last year, Lawrence Maroney was projected to go to us at 13, with Winston Justice projected at 14th (and he went in the second round). It goes to show that things can significantly change.

It should be fun, ER.

Please do! This junkie needs many fixes 'twixt now and August!!!!:rolleyes:

[PurpleRulz]

ER,

I know you want to wait until you had ten responses, but in my opinion, I think the fact you have three should be enough to just go for it. Thanks for your willingness to do this.

Alright, that works. Think this looks solid.

#1 thing is that I'll need somewhere to drop some jpegs of my Excel plotting/trendlines and to keep the list of links to the various mock sites so all of you can see them. That way you can tell me if you think a mock I am using is totally bunk or if I am missing something and then I won't have 50 links at the end of each post.

I'll get this done sometime tonight.....so if someone could hit with me a place that has some free hosting that would be awesome.

Thanks

Would be very helpful informative reading. Thank you.

yay

[Art-Florida]

Sure, go for it.

That sounds like a great idea. Very few things invoke conversation like mock-drafts even if we never actually take the guys I want.

[UKRavenStockers]

Very interesting to see week to week (so I can slate the picks every week probably), how much they change week to week and how far so many picks fall in the weeks and hell even days before the draft.

Mock Drafts are pointless until pretty much the last week before the Superbowl but as with last year, we'll need something to distract ourselves these next two weeks. :ralph:

Sounds great appreciate the time and effort

[ExiledRaven]

OK, this is rolling.

I've got some webspace and looking like I'll be tracking about 69 mocks starting off, but that will vary depending on who updates, if they don't update during a week I'll drop them for that week.

I will have those updated between 1/1/07 and 1/14/07 and a second set from 1/15/07 until 1/21

This coming weekend I'll get the ones updating from 1/22-1/29...continuing on and whatnot.

I'll post a picture with a rough guide. I have to figure out how to get trends to not get confused (if I track 50 guys, it makes no sense).

Either, way, I'll get a new post up here tonight with a plot and explanation.

Hope everyone enjoys

[ExiledRaven]

Alright, basically got this ready to go.

1st group will be put up tonight, I'll start a new post, please feel free to look at the mocks used and I can toss really bad ones or we can add more of them in.

I will include players who get more than 2 votes for this first week and go from there.

You may be surprised at who people think we like (hint, not troy smith, michael bush, or kenny irons)

Thanks for the interest, I'll have this up sometime around 9central.

Thanks for this . . . . we really appreciate it :thumbup:

[ExiledRaven]

I just got home, I'm working on this right now...sorry for the delay.
