Tomcat's 6th annual "gimme five" draft contest


Recommended Posts

up to $40 to the Bills store or any other store as long as Bills attire is purchased. I will pay for it and have it shipped to you!

 

Rules:

1. Pick the team that DRAFTS the player (if team A drafts player A and trades him to team B, team A is the correct answer)

2. Open to all posters who registered BEFORE March 16th, 2012(PM me if you didn't, I may grant an exception based on your posts or the number of beers I've had when you ask (creativity will help your odds!)

3. You must get ALL correct

4. 1 guess per person, I will freeze it an hour before the draft - edit as long as you want. In the event of a tie, the winner will be the longest-tenured TBD poster. Longevity will be rewarded here. (Per GOBILLS78 suggestion - I like it)

 

Here are the 5 players - I've change a couple to make a bit easier...

 

1: Ryan Tannehill QB

2: Michael Floyd WR

3: Courtney Upshaw OLB

4: Lamar Miller RB David DeCastro G

5: Orson Charles TE Luke Kuechly LB

 

My intentions were not to make it impossible. Hopefully more of you will join the contest now!

 

Good Luck and GO BILLS!

I usually pick from Mels top 25-30 prospects or a couple the Bills might be interested in. I picked Orson Charles because he was the top rated TE but since he got arrested for DUI hes kinda of a wild card. Tannehill, Floyd and Upshaw are talked about a lot and Miller was the 2nd RB in Mels top prospects.

 

Good Luck, have fun and GO BILLS!

2: Michael Floyd WR - Panthers

3: Courtney Upshaw OLB - Patriots (I hope he goes to either Jets or Pats because he's overrated)

4: Lamar Miller RB - Steelers (hardest one to pick, could see Broncos/Bengals/Rams)

5: Orson Charles TE - Falcons

you have about as much of a chance at winning this as being struck by lightning.

 

 

btw, The odds of getting struck by lightning are about one in 280,000 according to the National Lightning Safety Institute.

 

 

chances of winning new yorks take 5 lottery is 1 in 575,757.

 

 

chances of winning Tomcat's gimme five contest is approx 1 in 246,016.

 

 

 

have fun....
