Inspired by dissentowner's claim that his list would likely beat Craig Buttons I thought it would be fun to have a CP challenge, post your 1st round picks and get scored 32pts for 1st OA down to 1pt for 32nd. It's not an easy task as you think because teams make their lists from organizational needs not just best player available, the final four isn't set but below is the draft order to #28.
I ask politely not to post in this thread until you post your list to play. maybe a mod can pin this so it doesn't get lost
