JP has the best skill guys, but d-lines and o-lines win championships, so Johanns21 gets my #1 vote overall.

Thanks Eagle-Eye!!

Only 6 more votes needed.

I am confident that time will exonerate my defensive line though, lol....

QBs: PoM
RBs: bcdrama
WRs: JP
OL: kynmike
DL: Johanns
LBs: CJ
DBs: JP
Specialists: Johanns

Overall: PatriotofMaine
Locker, Moreno, Benn, and Maclin, with Tebow coming off the bench would be a hard offense to stop.

It's been great, guys. Looking forward to next year's already!

Unless I'm wrong, but in the trade and trash talk thread PatriotofMaine gave the the go for myself and kynmike to vote, so here are my picks.

QB: JPmaxdraft
RB: BCdrama
WR: BCdrama
OL: Ramsdraft
DL: Johanns21
LB: Johanns21
DB: JPmaxdraft
Special Teams: Kymike

Overall: JPmaxdraft

Each position was very tough to really call, however one must be chosen. Therefore.....

(I selected each of my choices based on overall quality 'as a whole unit'.)

QBs - kynmike

RBs/FBs - BCdrama

WRs/TEs - PatriotofMaine

OL - kynmike

DL - PatriotofMaine

LBs - cjs206

DBs - JPmaxdraft

STs - Johanns21 (heck, he's the only one with a LS...lol)


OVERALL - PatriotofMaine

Thanks guys, and congrats to whomever ends up the winner.

Hey all...

What should happen in the event of a tie? Should we have a second round of voting?

That would probably be the best, as well as the easiest, manner in order to determine the one and only '2009/10 Expansion Draft Champion'.

That sounds good, but what happens if all the votes are between three teams? Correct me if I'm wrong but the only three teams with votes are Johanns21, PatriotofMaine, and JPmaxdraft....what it if ends that way?

QBs: JPMaxDraft
RBs: bcdrama

Amazingly close between JP and Johanns, but I had to give the edge to the team with Mark Sanchez leading it.

QB - PoM
RB - bcdrama
WR/TE - JPmax
OL - Ramsdraft

Thanks, Erik!

Somebody help me figure out which mods haven't voted yet, and I'll bug him(them).

BCdrama is one. Bendo is another. CJ too, I think...Did I forget anyone?

I will vote tomorrow, just finished my team's depth chart, offensive install, defense install and play-sheets.

Just checking in to see how things are going with the Voting.

I see that the voting period ended and there is a tie.

Earlier there was talk of a second round of voting. Is that what the next step is?

or

Are we going to extend the voting period to allow the remaining mods/admins to vote?

Personally It doesn't matter, but I'm just curious.

CJ,

Please PM whatever mods haven't voted yet and ask them to please do so ASAP.

Sorry guys, I am working on the "Mother of All Articles about the development of Spread Formations and Spread Option called, [working title] Spreading Confusion, I am looking for a book on Gene Beck's Fly Offense and any of Hampton Pool's Fly-T Books, anyone with resources give me a hollar. My ballot-

QB: JPmaxdraft
RB: BCdrama
WR: BCdrama
OL: KynMike
DL: PatriotofMaine

well there are mods that still haven't voted. CJS, Bendo and JWest are all listed as mods/admins that haven't voted.

Thanks, Johanns....Just getting back from a week in FL...I'll PM those three guys and see if we can't get something done....

Sorry it took me so long. It took a while to sift through each team's roster (and decipher some of them).

It's a shame that only one individual can be congratulated as a 'winner', because everyone did such a great job. With that being said, I would personally like to say thank you to everyone, for your efforts as well as patience. And thank you to CDS, for the opportunity for all of us to be able to get together on such a wonderful website and enjoy ourselves in such a fashion.

So true....everyone did a terrific job, and it was a blast. I'm embarrassed to admit how much fun I had, even losing!...lol...AND, even more embarrassed to admit how much time I spent thinking about this thing, even when I wasn't "up" for a couple of days!

Well I had some spare time on my hands and decided to tally up to see who won the position battles....so here we go.

Personally I don't know how I didn't win all of the special teams. Come on I'm the only one with a long snapper. How else are you guys going to get to ball back to you holders????? I'm just kidding.

Well it has been fun. I'm anxious for next year to do this all over again.

Very interesting. Thanks for compiling that!

Who thinks we should have a 2010 IMD soon?

ME!

I'm addicted, so my answer will always be yes.

Thanks everybody, it's a great honor to be named expansion draft champion
This was way more fun and addicting than I thought it would be, I have to admit I would check the draft every time I got on a computer and was constantly thinking about strategy and how certain players would fit my schemes lol. I can't wait for the next one!

I would be interested too if I could get the Bears.

Any word on this?

I know there are a couple of us interested.

I've never done one before and think it would be a lot of fun.

I can get an advertisement up as soon as CJ starts a sign up thread....We need at least 16 guys to make a real go of it though, and likely won't proceed uintil/unless we get them.

Sounds good. Hopefully there are enough people who want to do this. I've seen about four or five that want to. I'm anxious that it happens.

Trouble is that right now, I can't set a date when I KNOW I will be here. I can pin it down to 1 of 2 Saturdays, but I can't tell you just yet which one.

NP, Craig. I have found that standard IMDs that begin before the NFL season is at least half way over usually flop anyways. We can wait, bud....

I can do Sat 14th November if that's not too soon? Thats 3 weeks tomorrow methinks...should be just about enough time?

Works for me. Although, I can't stress how important it is that if we do this that someone with highspeed actually runs in. On dialup, it would be a disaster to depend on me to help much.

Anticipation is making me wait. Or maybe that's ketchup. I forget which....lol.
