Answers tomorrow.

I'll take a stab:

1. Round 25 (30 is too late which narrows it to a 50/50)
2. A. Six picks apart
3. C. Twelfth
4. B. A round apart
5. I'm going to go with Sano as NFBCers are big on speculation.

I'll also give it a shot.

1. Round 30
2. A (6 picks apart)
3. B (10th round)
4. C (five rounds apart)
5. Plouffe

Very interesting how different the pre-mature draft is compared to the first 50-rounder. For instance, Buxton and Bogaerts were drafted back-to back in one, and 11 rounds apart in another. That's quite the variation.

And I think we would continue to see variation in all the drafts were it not for the published ADPs. Sometimes I think they're more of a hindrance than a help. I know it won't happen, but I'd love to see the ADPs after a full season or representative period of drafting without the benefit of the trends.

I compare it to fishing when we were kids. We started spread out, but as soon as someone got a bite in their spot, everyone flocked to that spot.

Agreed.
Greg and Tom use the adp as a selling point for the NFBC/NFFC on radio so I know we will ALWAYS have adp in our ear.
It's too bad.
I liked the times before adp was even adp. It was a more innocent period, sort of like before folks drove or walked down a street without their face plastered to a cell phone.
