I will be out of town 9-12 AUG. Should you be deciding draft order then, just give me the closest pick to the middle available when its my turn.

Since we are all here now, I am going to set up the order to select the draft picks. Unlike the other two sports that we have leagues for (baseball and hoops), we use my fantasy league to set the order. That being said, the order is...


1 Promize
2 twilson
3 Bean
4 Chucktaylor
5 louky
6 gurudan64
7 marbam
8 wolfer
9 ArtofMonk

This is an untimed process with all rules the same as the RIFC. In other words, if a person takes over 24 hours to make their pick, they will be skipped. Remember, this is also a banzai draft where the third wound is the same as 2 and 4. Promize is up.

I actually wanted pick 1. But yes, I took too long- weekends get busy around here. I texted Tree to let him know he was up, and he said he’d be a while. Was surprised not to get a text back when he picked.

If that’s compelling enough for Holt to switch picks with me, good. If not, I’ll also win from pick 5.

I'm still unclear of when the draft officially starts.

If we're on a clock, I'm picking. But if we're not, sorry, I'm waiting for the games to wrap up this weekend, because if I draft a player who gets injured over the weekend, I won't be thrilled.

OK, so apparently you want Ezekiel Elliott or Johnson, cause they play at 6PM on Sunday. Guess I wont even check in til late Sunday night then.

Or are you just waiting for the steelers this afternoon to grab Bell?

I just turned off the clock and reset the draft to pick #2. I'll let wolfer decide how he wants to handle round #1, but the clock should have been off (per post 35)

40Guru

      Sat, Aug 25, 2018, 19:55
Wolfer - I suggest you turn on the timer Sunday morning.

The purpose of allowing the first round to be untimed is to make sure everyone is on board and ready to go before the timer is turned on.

But the expectation is that when people are alert to being up, they are expected to draft within a reasonable time frame. Stonewalling the draft in order to wait until games are played is not the purpose. I always expect the first round should take no longer than a day.

If we had started the first round on Monday, it wouldn't take but a few hours.

An early pick should be an advantage. If I draft a guy who gets injured a few hours later, it's certainly not an advantage.

Why should I be punished for having an early pick?

If we don't have a clock, we don't have a clock. Now we suddenly want add one?

That's bull$hit.

How do we know if a first round, if started on Monday, would take a few hours? Besides, the football leagues have always started on the weekend.

I checked the draft of my league from last year. After the first week of the draft, we still had to make 120 picks. So if we started on Monday, we would of had to make roughly 60 picks on Monday and Tuesday to make sure we get done in time.
45louky

Some people work, and knocking out the 1st few picks over the weekend would be cool, but punishing an innocent drafter well that would be... unfair.

Remember that during weeks with byes, you may start only one RB, substituting an extra receiver. The system has now been set to allow this.

nothing like leaving 40+ points on your bench from your QB.

nothing like leaving 40+ points on your bench from your QB when he's Mitch Trubisky.

nothing like realizing one of your opponents left 39 points on the bench with his QB, Jared Goff.

Thanks Bean. It's been a while since the fantasy gods showed mercy on any of my football teams. Somehow I ended up winning both leagues I played in this season, with both squads putting up their highest scores in the championship games.

Thankfully my team was pretty consistent this season. My lowest week was a 125 and usually in the 150 to 160 range. In spite of that I had a hard time getting wins in the regular season (16-10) and was in the lower half of the standings for a while. Things really turned my way with other teams having problems during weeks 14-16 while my squad stayed productive.

I rolled out the same guys most of the year other than my WR's. Big Ben, Gurley, Mixon, JuJu, A.Donald, M Garrett, John Johnson, CJ Mosley, Telvin Smith, Roquan Smith... My WR/TE group was the weak spot, with M.Jones & OJ Howard going down, and Demaryius playing terribly.

Looking at my original draft, 5 of the 7 IDP I started in week 16 were guys I drafted. That is pretty unusual for me. Especially John Johnson who I took in the 23rd and ended up starting every week but his bye. This may be the least amount of repair I've ever needed to do to any of my draft classes.

Was a fun fantasy season and it's a little anti-climactic to see it coming to an end. Now I'll see if the Steelers can luck into the playoffs and if the Sooners can give Alabama some hell. Then watch a little Thunder basketball til baseball comes back around! Til next time guys!

Oh I wanted to mention Dede Westbrook. He turned out to be a pretty useful 20th rd pick in spite of being a Jags WR.

Correction to post 85. My week 16 score was my second highest score of the season. My squad put up 196 in week 12.

Ironically, those happen to be the two weeks that I didn't start Gurley this season. Go figure.
