For the final KSK mock draft of the off-season we’re selecting one snack food for the rest of our lives. Well that’s not entirely accurate, seeing as how we went two rounds. So I guess it’s more like two snack foods for the rest of our lives. In order for a pick to qualify as a snack food it must be something that’s readily available at a grocery and/or convenience store, and it must be ready to eat as is. That means no cooking or assembly whatsoever. Oh, and good news. For the sake of this draft the snack foods in question will not make you morbidly obese. So put down the raisins and check out the results. Then take your turn in the comment section as usual.

Biopics are a tricky subject. For every masterpiece like Raging Bull there is some steaming pile of crap like The Babe that is hampered by bad writing and casting. Some of the most intriguing films never even make it to filming because of factual uncertainties. Fortunately we don’t have to worry about these tricky aspects of film making, because our only task is to pick the subject. Everyone in human history is fair game, save for those who have been the subject of a biopic that was released in theaters.

Let’s get started.

1. Punte- 1. Kurt Cobain

The most influential musician of the last 20 years. The movie will be nothing but drugs, nudity and great music. And it’ll end just like the first half of Boogie Nights.

And if there is a god the woman playing Courtney Love will look nothing like Courtney Love.

This week’s draft is a twist on an old classic. You’re drafting a singular super power from a fictional character, though not their entire catalog of abilities. Also, you must take on their appearance. Again, we’re lazy slugabeds who only got through one round, leaving commenters more opportunity to ignore the rules make picks.

Ufford’s explanationAll right, you get to have one power from a fictional character from comics, literature, TV, or the movies. Once a character has been used, s/he is off the board. (For example, if you want Wolverine’s retractable claws, no one can claim his healing powers.) Once a specific power shared by many characters has been drafted (i.e. flight or super strength), it’s off the board. And if you draft a power that is connected to appearance, you also get that appearance as well (see: The Thing, Incredible Hulk).

1. Ape
2. Maj
3. flub
4. drew
5. Punter
6. Uff
