Punk is huge value as 9th draft pick. There are a bunch of storylines they can play out that end up with him finishing in a payout spot. Youre only losing value here if Punk retains the WWE title (which to be fair is likely though not close to certain).

I think Cody Rhodes has solid "last longest" value.

I have class tonight from 5pm EST to around 10pm EST, so if my 2nd pick lands in that area, I will make it once I leave class.

Until I realised Sheamus was still free I was going to pick Kane as he has a chance at winning Most Eliminations.

Yeah, i think Kane is a great pick as he is a lock to enter as he is on 13 consecutive entrances and is 4 eliminations away from equalling HBK's record so given he is in a push for WM right now it seems a lock he will be in for a fair amount of time, get at least 5 eliminations and in all likelyhood be booked to eliminate the most to maximise that impact.

Dolph is huge value at 13. HUGE. I mean I seriously think he has a shot to win the whole thing. Not a great shot, but considering the place that he picked from wesr just got a massive steal IMO.

Yea Ziggler is almost a lock for final four and a small chance to win

Okay well "almost a lock" totally overstates the situation. He's not even a lock to be in the damn thing.

I think even the world champs will be in the rumble. so whoever wins between punk and ziggler might still be in the rumble

I'm glad we've scaled back from "almost a lock" to "might be."

Just getting home from a solid 15 hour day. Going to make some dinner while I attempt to dredge up at least one facemelt. Be back in a bit!

god i am so tempted to go for double fliers here. i think that is a bad idea though and there is some value to be found.

because even though this is a stupid idea (we should have capped it at 8 people or something) drafting numbers is the most boring thing i can think of ever.

that being said, this was a really stupid question!
