With April officially here, the anticipation for the start of the 2023 NFL Draft will continue to grow. What will the Washington Commanders do in the draft? Are we going to target a lockdown Corner, or will we address other positions of need like Offensive Tackle, Guard, or Linebacker in the early rounds? Are we going to trade up, trade down, or stay put at #16? Will we go completely off the board and make head scratching choices that nobody anticipated? The element of the unknown is part of what makes the NFL Draft so intriguing and fun.
If putting your feet up from Thursday through Saturday while watching the draft wasn't appealing enough for you, BGO is going to add even more fun to the NFL Draft festivities!
For the 3rd consecutive year, we are back with the BGO "On The Clock" Draft Pool. This is your chance to show your draft expertise and prove that you know better than everyone else here at BGO when it comes to the Commanders. It is also your opportunity to unseat Om as the defending champion. Winner prizes will be available if you need more incentive.
How The BGO Draft Pool Works/Scoring Rules:
1) Guess who you think the Commanders will pick with each of its current selections in the 2023 NFL Draft (assume no trade scenarios).
2) Earn 10 points for every player selected by the WFT that you guessed correctly.
3) Earn an additional 5 points for every player guessed correctly if you identified the correct round he was chosen in by the Commanders.
4) Earn 3 points if your pick for a round was incorrect, but your pick still matches the position selected by the Commanders in that round.
5) Earn 2 points if your pick for a round was incorrect, but your pick still matches the round the player was chosen in by another NFL team.
5) The participant with the highest accumulated number of points will be declared the 3rd Annual BGO "On The Clock" Draft Pool winner and receive a 1st place prize. 🏆
Tiebreakers:
The following will be used in the event of a tie for first place between two or more participants:
a) Tiebreaker 1: Indicate how many trades there will be in total in the entire 2023 NFL Draft (league-wide).
Deadlines:
Have your Commanders draft choice predictions and tiebreaker posted by 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Thursday, April 27th, 2023. At that time, all selections will be noted and no further changes can be made to your predictions.
Note:
When making your picks, please post your choices clearly by indicating the Round #, Pick #, Player Name, and Position.
For your reference, the Commanders picks are:
Round 1, Pick 16
Round 2, Pick 47
Round 3, Pick 97
Round 4, Pick 118
Round 5, Pick 150
Round 6, Pick 193
Round 6, Pick 215
Round 7, Pick 233
* If any of these picks change due to trades leading up to the start of the draft, we will update accordingly.
We hope to have as much participation as possible! If you aren't a draft guy, remember, your guesses are as good as anybody else's. Many of us spent a lot of time learning about the draft prospects a year ago and still didn't get a single Commanders pick right in the whole draft! There are a lot of mock draft simulators online that can familiarize you with the players and where they are generally projected to be taken in the draft. Also, be sure to check out some of the upcoming BGO Blind Pig draft podcasts, as they will help familiarize you with who is going to be available. There is lots of time to prepare and learn still! Get drafting and have fun, armchair GMs!
