Yeah, I thought it was safe haha. I'll reveal the Alex Smith answers I have already for fun, but will have to not award any points for the Alex Smith questions.

Can't wait for someone to have accidentally left "Washington" as their answer to #1

Resubmits are obviously totally acceptable until SB.

This Alex smiff news completely derailed my submissions. But, I do not think my overall score would’ve been affected much lol. I’ll keep it as is.

perfect - was just coming here to ask that

Reminder that there is less than 2 days left to enter and/or resubmit.

Reminder that questions 5 & 6 are no longer going to be counted so if you have not submitted, yet, you don't need to bother with those ones. Probably a good thing on #6 because I would have to extrapolate Fuller's chart value to come up with that #.

IN!

May the lols begin

Yeah, this is going to be bad. Hour and a half left to get your answers in!

2 hours or so left to get in.

ETA: solid x-post

I have 16 entries. Sadly, none from nath :/

Will probably reveal answers as things become official, for now I'll get the early Alex Smith guesses out of the way.

So these were the choices of teams that Alex Smith would be on prior to the news leaking that he was heading to the WASHINGTON REDSKINS.

Entrant	Alex Smith Team
wheatrich	Ravens
Perhaps Shimmy	Jaguars
NL Soldier	Browns
toedder	Chiefs
SuperUberBob	Chiefs
qbler	Chiefs
feel wrath	Cardinals
Dudd	Chiefs
younguns87	Browns
bigben241	Cardinals

A lot of you didn't do a great job of following directions regarding formatting of the pick...

(single # which represents the approximate pick if the picks traded were combined into 1 draft pick using the Chase Stuart Draft Value Chart)

Entrant	Alex Smith Compensation
wheatrich	50
Perhaps Shimmy	120
NL Soldier	90 & 120
toedder	None
SuperUberBob	None
qbler	None
feel wrath	High second round
Dudd	None
younguns87	39
bigben241	3rd Round

So I had to do Guesstimate some conversions (well, had to is a strong word since this question doesn't count anyway)...

Entrant	Alex Smith Compensation	Converted
wheatrich	50	50
Perhaps Shimmy	120	120
NL Soldier	90 & 120	47.5
toedder	None	None
SuperUberBob	None	None
qbler	None	None
feel wrath	High second round	36
Dudd	None	None
younguns87	39	39
bigben241	3rd Round	80

So the actual trade was the 77th pick + Kendall Fuller for Alex Smith. I didn't really anticipate players being included in the trade, & it doesn't count anyway, so I decided the best course of action would be to arbitrarily & capriciously assign Kendall Fuller a value in terms of what he would likely be worth in a trade on his own.

He was a 3rd round draft choice 2 years ago, has 2 very cheap years left on his contract, & was the #1 slot corner per PFF.

I think the 40th pick is a reasonable corollary for his worth. Per the Stuart chart, the 40th pick + the 77th pick is worth approximately the 14th pick.

Pursuant to the Stuart chart, though, I could have graded Fuller anywhere from the 106th pick or better & the result would be the same.

The most controversial thing about this, if this question, actually counted, is wtf pick does "high second round" equal? I would probably have gone top quadrant & made it 40th overall if this actually counted so as not to reward the inability to follow directions, but for the purposes of this exercise, 36 seems fine.

Entrant	Alex Smith Compensation	Converted	"Correct"	How Far Off?

younguns87	39	39	14	25

wheatrich	50	50	14	36
bigben241	3rd Round	80	14	66
Perhaps Shimmy	120	120	14	106
toedder	None	None	14	Infinity
SuperUberBob	None	None	14	Infinity
qbler	None	None	14	Infinity
Dudd	None	None	14	Infinity

How are you planning to do reveal? As news comes in? Or fixed chronological order ones training camps open or something?

As news comes in & is confirmed & such.

Yeah, I had a big thing this weekend and wasn't able to get around to it. There were a lot of questions!

Will wait for some more confirmation, but it looks like the 1st shoe has dropped (Q3). If reports are accurate of 5/$137.5m deal, the correct answer is $27.5m.

Eh, seems official enough. 5/$137.5m/$74m in guarantees to stay with the 49ers.

was 2 million a joke (trying to write 20m)?

Decent start, and it being high bodes well for my other answers.

I think xander doesn't follow NFL whatsoever, but doesn't like not playing games, so he submitted an entry, which is likely not going to turn out to be very accurate.

bink.

is it too late to resubmit on some other answers lol

Not sure if you're looking for a serious answer or not, but yes haha.

pretty much this

For a couple of the guys I looked up where their wives/girlfriends were from and assumed they would be henpecked into moving back there.

It's probably not how the NFL functions, but it gave me some answers
