And your winner is ...
Prior to the start of the 2017 NFL Draft last week, I posted the annual Bleeding Green Nation draft prediction game contest. It was a hard-fought, competitive field as there were a total of 226 entries. That's 117 more than last year! Blood, sweat, and tears were left out in the comment section. Before we get to the results, let's recap the Eagles 2017 draft class.
1st - No. 14 - Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee
2nd - No. 43 - Sidney Jones, CB, Washington
3rd - No. 99 - Rasul Douglas, CB, West Virginia
4th - No. 118 - Mack Hollins, WR, North Carolina
4th - No. 132 - Donnel Pumphrey, RB, San Diego State
5th - No. 166 - Shelton Gibson, WR, West Virginia
5th - No. 184 - Nathan Gerry, LB, Nebraska
6th - No. 214 - Elijah Qualls, DT, Washington
Now for your winner ... longlivesimba! This member got three picks correct (Derek Barnett, Sidney Jones, Shelton Gibson). As a result, they will receive one free t-shirt from Philly Phaithful for every number of picks they correctly guessed. So that's three free t-shirts. Stay tuned for details on how to claim your prize.
Two other users got three names right: frankmurph119 and JLDawk. They missed out on winning the competition since our winner posted before them. Speed counts as a tie-breaker. In addition, our winner also nailed the Eagles' first two picks unlike the other two, so that's pretty good.
Some more stats for you:
• 97 users didn't get a single pick right. That's 43% of the field. Shame!
• 58 users got Sidney Jones. 42 users got Derek Barnett. 35 users got Shelton Gibson. 15 users got Rasul Douglas. 7 users got Donnel Pumphrey. Two users got Elijah Qualls. No one got Mack Hollins or Nate Gerry.
• Kudos to Lip-Out who predicted the Eagles would draft a player the team ended up signing in undrafted free agency instead: Tyler Orlosky.
For everyone who didn't win who still wants some Philly Phaithful merch, BGN readers can get a 10% discount on every purchase by using code bgn10 at checkout. This offer is valid 24-7-365!
