Hello everyone,

By now, you've probably noticed that we've kicked off the 2nd annual Arrowhead Pride Community Mock Draft with UC's pick of Aaron Curry. UC is heading out of town this week so we wanted to allow him ample time to defend his pick in the comment section.

For the rest of us, the mock draft will commence this Monday, March 16th. We'll be doing two picks a day, which should give us enough wiggle room before the draft if someone cancels on us or something.

This is how you make your pick:

• Check the schedule (below). Be prepared with your pick on the day you are scheduled. We will post one pick in the morning and one in the afternoon/evening. That means that if you're scheduled first, you have to email me your pick by 11 AMish that day. The second pick must be in by that evening (I know some people are at work during the day and can't send a write up in).
  
• E-mail me your pick (chiefssportsblognation@gmail.com) along with your write up. You don't need to include a picture. We will post that for you.
• Do not send me just a name. You must provide a full write up on why you made that particular pick. 
• Look at UC's pick of Aaron Curry for the Lions. It's a great example of what you should be sending in.
• If you can't make your pick on time, please e-mail me immediately so we can get that pick made by someone else. I understand things come up that are beyond your control.
• Defend your pick in the comment section. I know many of you won't be able to defend it right away but at least make time to come back respond to other readers' questions.

Here is the Round 1 schedule. Round 2 will be posted later. Be prepared to make your pick on the day you are scheduled!
