Round 9 questions
Predictions by 8:00 p.m. Wednesday
This round is an NFL draft special !!
Before I start though, as we are drawing towards the end of the league, a reminder to check the rules in the first post in this thread. The last playoff spot goes to the top-scorer across rounds 9, 10 and 11 â so even if you have had a shocker so far, there is still a chance to grab that fourth seed!
.
(1) When will the first Tight End be drafted?
[donât mind if you say âthe 50th pick, or Round 2 Pick 6, whatever works for you as long as it is clear]
1 point if you are within 5 places of the correct spot
And 1 point if you are closer than your opponent for this week
.
(2) When will the first Kicker or Punter be drafted?
[donât mind if you say âthe 50th pick, or Round 2 Pick 6, whatever works for you as long as it is clear]
1 point if you are within 5 places of the correct spot
And 1 point if you are closer than your opponent for this week
.
(3) When will the first Tennessee Volunteers player be drafted?
[donât mind if you say âthe 50th pick, or Round 2 Pick 6, whatever works for you as long as it is clear]
1 point if you are within 5 places of the correct spot
And 1 point if you are closer than your opponent for this week
Iâm going to be disappointed if Shani doesnât get this one spot on !!
.
(4) How many Wide Receivers will be drafted on Day 1 of the Draft (i.e. Round 1)?
2 points if you are spot on
Or 1 point if you miss by one either way
.
(5) How many Quarterbacks will be drafted on Day 3 of the Draft (i.e. Rounds 4 to 7)?
2 points if you are spot on
Or 1 point if you miss by one either way
.
(just to be clear, a multi position player counts for all of their positions â so if a rookie is listed as a Quarterback / Tight End, they will be counted as a Tight End for Q1. Iâll go by what is on the NFLâs own site)
Round 9 guesses:
Quite a wide range of opinions, am looking forward to how this NFL draft plays outâŚ
Round 9 results
Some great guesses on the first Tight End !
Some poor guesses on day 3 Quarterbacks (George excludedâŚ) !!
Six people spot on with six Wide Receivers !!!

11 out of 12 entries in, but I need to get to bed, so Dan A is out of time Iâm afraid. To be fair he was unlikely to win at this stageâŚ
best of luck all !
Round 11 results
Late drama in the dogs - the 2nd, 3rd and 4th seeds all lose - but all hang onto their spots in the post seasonâŚ
Scores:
League table
To confirm:
1 seed - best record - George claimed this with a bit of daylight
2 seed - next best record - two Dans were tied, but it then goes to points scored so Dan C prevails
3 seed - most points scored - Al pipped Sean by a point
4 seed - most points in the three week run in - Mike pipped Sean by a point
For the not-so-great-eight, the game is over. Thanks for playing!
For the four seeds, I will sort out the final round of questions, probably around this time tomorrowâŚ
Here we are, the final set of questions, with 20 points on offer to find the Lockdown Champion
As a reminder, top seed George has earned a 3.75 point head start. Dan gets 2.5, and Al gets 1.25. This will guarantee no ties, as well as rewarding performance during the regular season.
