Hi Everyone and a welcome to the TSW Mock Draft 2.0 sign-up thread. Not many changes to the format this year, but the rules and expectations are as follows:
Mock 2.0 is 2 rounds and with trades. Future mocks will have different rules. 3.0 will also have trades and be one round starting on the week of the actual draft.
The Bills selection will be done by a survey of the BPA’s at the time.
The Draft will begin once all 32 owners have been found. If that does not occur until after 7p EST on 4/9/25, then the draft will begin at 8a on 4/10.
Please vote in the poll attached to this thread, as many have stated they are interested in trading up in some capacity. As of now, as these mocks are meant to be both fun as well as create a perspective of how we’d feel about certain scenarios, there’s an idea of having the Bills trade a 2nd and their 1st to move up in 2.0. In TSW 3.0, the Bills may trade their 1st and both 2nds to move up as well. Will these trades really happen, who knows? But part of the point of these is to see what it would look like.
*If the Bills trade up, the trade will be run by Virgil and other select owners. The draft pick itself will be made by a Poll.
Owners - To volunteer to serve as a team GM, you need to:
· Be in good standing on this site (daily activity, account history, etc)
· Reply in this thread with the top 3 teams you want to manage (only listing one will be ignored)
· Be prepared to keep up with your picks (3 hour window between picks)
· Be prepared to follow the posting guidelines when it’s your pick (failure to do so might lead to your exclusion to participating in future mocks)

Thank you section122 for making a team needs spreadsheet:

Rules:
· Every owner has 3 hours to make their pick
· GM’s cannot control the same team in different mock drafts
· Trades must match the trade value chart linked above at a min
· No players can be traded (We have allowed trades in prior years for players that were for certain on the trade block, but that does not seem to be the case this year. No, we are not going to allow a James Cook trade unless something comes out that he’s on the block)
· When you pick, you must use the following format
· With the 30th pick, the Buffalo Bills select Josh Allen, QB, Wyoming @Virgil is on the clock. (Commas and caps make my life easier when updating the page)
· When you pick, please give a few sentence summary as to why you made the pick you did. The more commentary and ownership, the better the experience.
· Draft hours are from 8am-10pm EST. If your pick comes up at 9p, you have until 10a the next morning.
