How long do we give before Auto pick kicks in?

I say 8:10...
If TN hasn't at least made an appearance to make his presence known by then, then we'll pick.

To restate the last question from the previous
thread...

We are actually having 3 WR and 1 floater TE/WR, which seems like a lot of WR.

Maybe go with 2 RB, 2WR, and maybe 1-2 floaters (1 RB/WR and/or 1 TE/WR)?

I think 3 running backs would be too much.

On Thursday I wrote...
As for the league settings, go take a peek and let me know if there's anything that you'd like to be changed. I set it up with 1 QB (and other offensive positions) and only a defense, as opposed to individual defensive players. I also altered various other standard settings, so let me know what you all think.

Too late, bitches.

Yahoo/AIM

Either one works for me.  I think greg has a point I hadn't realized.. 14 teams taking 5 mins per pick = 70 mins per round, times 16 rounds is something like 18 hours.

by sonant1 on Sep 4, 2007 8:22 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

At the same time, there
are definitely not 14 of us here, and I'm willing to pick quick for those who I know are not here.

I'll have to call him Larry then.

Every mock draft had the Colts getting him in the first round that year.. then the sum of all evil (NE Pats) snaked him.

Guess it worked out for us in the end though.  Addai is making me forget about Edge.

What'cha gonna do, Red Reporters, when Brennamania runs wild on you?

time
1 or 1.5 minutes is pretty standard, and frankly that's plenty of time. I've done two drafts this year that got done in less than two hours. This is on pace for 12, and I'm not exaggerating.

yeah, sorry
I didn't read the part where you said you'd take over. I'm ok with that.

Wouldn't it be better
to wait until thursday afternoon, or at least wednesday night, to turn it over to the yahoo autopilot? I keep hoping we can get some done, but maybe that's too optimistic.

That would pretty much
force me to autopick, as RR is also a no-no at my place of work, not to mention drafting a fantasy team.

I say that either those of us who are
able regroup tomorrow evening around 8. If you can't make it, e-mail me what positions you'd like to have on your bench, and I'll select best available.

IF we want week one action
we need to have rosters in by midnight PT tonight I believe.....

Id say 7 or 8 rounds of live is enough.  Then just give the best available.

We did this last year and it worked well.  If someone wanted a special low round pick, email the commish, and if they are still there at your turn then you get him.

It would be a lot easier and a lot less work on Ash, and she has already put in a bunch.

Good idea
but it screws some teams if we do it in the middle of the draft

by Brian B on Sep 4, 2007 11:06 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm in the middle..
I don't care.. :)

 I could post the list of those left after this or the next round as well.
