Welcome to the 2019 Armchair GM challenge! We’re back for another year of random predictions.

How it works

The Armchair GM Championship is a confidence poll, much like the ones you may have done for the college football bowl season. You will submit a list of 20 names that you believe the 49ers will draft, in order of how confident you are that the player will be picked by San Francisco. This is confidence of a pick at any point in the draft, not just first round picks.

The first name on your list will be worth 20 points, the second name 19 points, the third 18 points, and so on. We will include UDFA signings, although the cutoff for them signing with the team will be the Wednesday following the draft. Once this is over, we’ll add up everyone’s points and see who finishes atop the rankings.

In the event of a tie, the winner will be decided based first off of who picked the most players, then who had the highest scoring correct pick, then by who had the higher scoring pick from the lowest round.

Submitting your picks

We are using a Google Form to collect everyone’s picks.

2019 Armchair GM Challenge Ballot

When entering names into the form, only use the first and last name of the player. The school, position, and other information isn’t needed. This will make things easier when it comes time to score everyone’s picks. For players with initials (DK Metcalf), do NOT use periods. I’ve included some examples on the form so you know what kind of information I need.

I encourage you to discuss your picks in the comments, but only picks submitted through the form will be counted.

The deadline for submitting your picks is the start of the draft. April 25th, 4:55 pm PT. Please only submit once.
