Reading the Moonbeams: 120 Picks Predicted
So while Dave and I were crusing home from the boundary waters, still surrounded by the serene afterglow of the draft lottery, we decided to do a little mockery of a draft. First ten rounds. We had no stats, and our only pieces of paper were ragged reciepts. We did not pay to much attention to balanced rosters, position wise.
But, if there is more than a 3% variance from our actual draft, I will swim the Mississippi in a tuxedo.

Now CCK doesn't have to do his own draft board.
And, for the record if the draft fell out the way you say, Knick33 wouldn't be taking Brad Miller with its pick at #17.
I don't know how you're going to measure 3% variance from your mock, but whatever you were blazing up in the boundary waters has distorted your perception of reality... either that or you are bound to take the Layden from young Cassel try as he might to defend.

I think WB just wants to swim in a tux, and that's his right as former commish and future married guy.
However, if you could've seen the scraps of paper we did this on, you'd be more worried about our mental health and perception of all reality, not just moonball. It was like a scene from Beautiful Mind when Russell Crowe was at his worst.
P.S. If your wife goes into early labor and you ask me to draft for K33, you ARE taking Brad Miller at 17, FYI.

1. I'm happy to take on the analysis of variance proposed by Mike. I think you'll all be pleased with the result.
2. I confess that Davy's first comment was the first thought that entered my head when I read this post.
3. There's no way JLev will let Josh Howard fall to round 6.
4. If Mariann goes into early labor, I claim the right to draft for K33. Revenge will be sweet.
