The PoolTracker site that we use for our annual NFL playoff pool offers the
ability to create an NFL draft pool, so I decided some of us might find this a
fun challenge. Here's
a link to the
Blue's News 2020 NFL Draft Pool (password is "draft"). Simply pick who you
think will be the top 10 players drafted in order in the first round of
Thursday's NFL draft. You'll get 10 points for each pick you hit on the head and
partial points for each pick that finishes in the Top 10 (10 points minus the
difference between your pick and their actual draft order). The tie-breaker is
to predict the number of trades in the first round. It costs nothing to join,
and there is no prize, so all that's at stake is bragging rights. But as has
been pointed out before, it's hard to place a value on those... they are
basically priceless.

A mask is not a political statement.
It's an IQ test. It's a compassion test. It's a decency test. It's a social responsibility test.
Cover Your Eyes for even more protection.
