Official CelticsBlog draft contest.

[wdleehi]

Everyone who wants in can make all 30 1st round picks.


The person that goes the deepest into the draft without missing a actual pick wins.  They get one TP for every correct pick, 2 for every pick they get right by themselves (till they get one wrong)



Bonus.

Get the 1st 20 right, extra 50 TPs

Get all 30 right, 100 TPs





We do not care about trades.  Predicting trades does not help you get extra points. 




p.s.  This title is for you IP.

5) Kermit the Frog



And so on.

You know, I wouldn't put it past Wallace to draft Kermit.  He already has a huge following, and they can have him do shows on off days to make some extra cash for the franchise.
