With the draft one week away, it's that time of year again! Draftivus is upon us and so is our annual Mock For GM contest that Metalman started back in 2013. We've got a tough year coming up ahead of us, but with a new coaching staff, new quarterback, and some tasty draft picks coming up, anything can happen. Please note that the rules will be slightly different this year. My hope is that these changes will speed up the results and keep them a little more clear. I've also taken the following advice from Cartman and decided to offer a free hat to the winner of this year's contest!

"You’re not offering any fabulous prizes. You have to offer fabulous prizes if you want people to show up for your stupid crap."



– Cartman

My original idea was to provide a draft cap, but after seeing the mixed reaction to this year's design, I'm opening it up to any cap from the online team store. No matter which you decide, it's still a FREE HAT!

The Rules (Please note there are changes this year)

As always, you may enter as many mocks as you like, but your last mock is the only one that will count. If you are posting multiple mocks, I do request that you post any new mocks as a reply to the last mock you submitted. This helps me keep track of which entry I should be using. The cutoff date will be 4 p.m. MT on Thursday, April 25. That's two hours before the draft starts. Tie breaker is determined by the first mock entered, so please get your picks in as soon as possible!

Points System

7 points for every correct player selected, correct round

6 points for every correct player selected, incorrect round

3 points for every correct position (incorrect player) selected, correct round. (Note: Player positions this year will be determined by the position given by CBS Sports. If they list the player you select as EDGE, that's what he will count as. For instance, you cannot count Nick Bosa as a DL or LB).

CBS Sports. 1 points for every correct position (incorrect player) selected, incorrect round.

Note: Undrafted Free Agents will not be counted this year. That process runs an extended amount of time and the cutoff point is too subjective. Only players the Broncos draft will count for points.

Positions up for grabs:

President Joe Ellis = Person who comes closest to a spot traded up or down by the Broncos. (NOTE: The maximum number of picks you can gain by trade is 10 to avoid abuse of this system).

GM Elway = Most Points

DPP Matt Russell = 2nd Most Points

HC Vic Fangio = 3rd Most Points

DC Ed Donatell = 4th Most Points

OC Rich Scangarello = 5th Most Points

STC Tom McMahon = 6th Most Points

S&C Loren Landow = 7th Most Points

QC T.C. McCartney = 8th Most Points
