Clarified Mon 18th Feb 2008 3:16pm PST by donal: Special teams means Kickers or Punters. If a KR is listed as a offensive or defensive player, then that takes precedent.

We are going to clarify a lot of this stuff in the lead up to the draft

Also, they won't pick on time isn't really an outcome. If they don't pick on time, they don't lose the pick....see the Vikings selection of Kevin Williams a few years back

Suspended because it requires clarification

The skins could conceivably have two first round picks in the draft this year much like the 49ers last year.
If this question as structured were asked about the 49ers last year, it would have been un-settleable as they picked a defensive player (Willis) and an offensive player(Staley).


I could re-word it to refer to the 21st pick specifically. If they trade up or down with that pick, then it is settled as "None"

Any thoughts on the best way to resolve this?

I believe it should be thier first pick. So if they have two pics in the first round it would go on which player was picked first. That seems the easiest way to decide.

So can we just reword the question to make it their first pick?

Ok...I've gone with Destry's suggestion.

I think from now on however, that questions should refer to the specific pick.

I've started a thread on GetSatisfaction to discuss draft questions and the potential difficulties that could arise. see link above
