What came in 2nd/3rd place? Why can't we change it to that? 1 day notice to have the draft is not great either, could lead to a lot of no shows.

just had a look and tuesday at 9pm lead with 10 votes, three times tied for second, tuesday 30th at 10, wednesday 31st at 10 and Tuesday 6th at 9pm.

Id prefer Tuesday 6th myself personally but its not up to me.

All the schedules have been updated, so we're good to go. One small point in that Interceptions were -2 but the official settings has them at -1, so I changed that.

Also can I ask everyone just to have their email address up to date on nfl.com in case I need to send out a message to the group.

Thanks and enjoy. Its a great time of year!

Cheers for all the work Johnny!

I'm not supposed to be in D2 (missed the registration date), but when I log into nfl.com I'm showing up being in it, I think?

I knew the rule but didn't even notice or give it much thought so c'est la vie. I'm on a plan landing 10 minutes before draft time so we'll see what happens.

Fair play for your honesty. Maybe PM Adrian to confirm but I don't know that there's much that can be done now?

division 2 from last year probably wasnt renamed. He's certainly not in our league!

adrian522

I'd imagine that is the new division 1, or else it is one of last years that was reactivated and not used as it has a few teams missing.

BaronVon

FFS, Pick 11, never got a high draft pick in Boards.....

Anyway, best of luck lads

I'm in Division 7 alright... I'm guessing my 'Boards Division 2' is an old/dormant one that's not relevant to here. No worries.

Johnny_Fontane

Hopefully everyone is happy with their draft!

Roll on tomorrow night.....its shaping up to be a very interesting season.

radharc

Sent out a few trade proposals there, anyone interested in trading a good WR for your choice of my running backs, give me a shout (The Expendables)

BizzyC

Anyone interested in a trade for Cam Newton?

jester1980

What you after?

My team is swords sharks

Looking for a solid RB or WR, doesn't have to be a superstar though.
Could do Newton for Hill or Crabtree?

jester1980

sent trade there

Realalemadrid

So it looks like there will be 4 clear division winners and 4 teams on 7-6 - only 2 of which can go forward as WC's - does anyone know what the tie breaker situation is ? H2H doesn't seem to help. Thanks.

Barney92

The way I understand it, it is done by head-to-head record. Unfortunately so for me because that seems to have ruled me out. Myself, Yippie, Bray Broncos and Infacteh all finished 7-6. We didn't all play each other though as it happens. I played Yippie twice and Infacteh once, whilst Yippie only played me twice. Infacteh played myself and Bray, with Bray only playing Infacteh and none of the rest of us. The results of those games, mean that out of the games between the four teams the standings are as follows:
(1) Bray 1-0 (75.12 for, 61.6 against)
(2) Infacteh 1-1 (188.78 for, 172.92 against)
(3) Yippie 1-1 (174.1 for, 186.68 against)
(4) Barney 1-2 (284.48 for, 301.28 against)
Now I'm guessing it goes by win percentage because we all have the same number of wins against each other. That's how I believe it has been done because I am seeded below Yippie, despite having a better points difference against them over our two games. If I'm wrong on any of this I do apologise.

Johnny_Fontane

Best of luck to Swords Sharks and Boccys Jockeys who upset the no.1 and no.2 seeds to make the final.

Great stuff thanks Johnny. Let the mock drafts commence.
My advice to all fantasy owners - sell on the Broncos offensive players!

Podge_irl

I shall be in the air so let's hope the autodraft is kind.

You should still be able to set up some sort of drafting order for yourself if I remember correctly

If you are unable to attend your league's scheduled live draft, don't worry. Your team will still be drafted according to the Pre-Draft Rankings you specify or the default NFL player rankings. To customize your Pre-Draft rankings, visit the Pre-Draft Rankings tool from your My Team page prior to your league's draft.

....so try to at least get a starting lineup in some sort of order and maybe mark down any/all players you definitely don't want drafting...

also might be worth marking down K and DEF if you don't want them drafted early....Justin Tucker and Stephen Gostkowski are ranked very high this year, still plenty of good RB and WR on the board around the time they will go.

Also, you can exclude players you know to be injured or released etc before the draft....Edelman is ranked #70-odd WR for instance.

I don't see a way to ensure you don't end up with 3 QB or 2 WR - but maybe the auto draft AI is clever enough to try and pick you a normal starting lineup - maybe someone can clarify if they've used before.

Tristram

The only way to be sure is to rank as many players as possible in order of preference. I did it last year for about 100 players. After that it was in the lap of the autodraft gods

Podge_irl

I had actually forgotten about that option. Have my main league draft this Sunday so can use that as a basis and set up a ranking.

Cheers!

And based on how that went I'm beginning to think autodraft may be better at drafting than me anyway...

.....ahem... your main league draft? Surely Boards Division 2 is your primary concern for fantasy!

Tristram

Unlikely to be online for the draft but have edited pre-draft rankings as best I can. Hopefully it's a speedy draft!

Johnny_Fontane

90 second draft time is a bit insane.....too late now to change it, but going forward 45 seconds would be better imho

It is if a player wait until the last few seconds to pick, consistently. Annoying. I usually am very quick as I know who to pick, unless my choice has been picked up just before me...

well anyone autodrafting will be fast. Most of the players n the league should be quite experienced at this stage - hopefully we won't get too many 90 second picks.

Sorry lads, looks like I'll be in the air too for the draft. Sitting on the runway atm. Apologies if it causes delay for anyone!

Got back in time for the 7th round, but I'm a quick picker!

Benimar

Ended up with:

QB: Ryan & Wentz
RB: D.Johnson, Perkins, D.Martin, Prosise
WR: Britt, Jeffrey, Pryor, Perriman, Stills
TE: Witten
K: Hopkins
DEF: Ravens

Johnny_Fontane

all set for the new season. I got the 14th pick and proceeded to stack up my team well enough

QB: Eli
RB: Gurley, Powell, Breida, Connor
WR: Dez, Marshall, D. Adams, C. Hogan (not sure why his ADP is not higher, hes the no.2 wideout in maybe the most high powered offense in the nfl), Sharpe (whos on IR:rolleyes:)
TE: Graham
K: Bryant
DEF: Vikings

NFL told me that I would finish 12th but they can f**k right off.

Realalemadrid

15th Pick.

QB: Taylor, Flacco
RB: Freeman, Howard, Kelley, Williams (GB)
WR: Landry, Decker, Sanders, Jones(Buf)
TE: Bennett, Brate
K: Blair Walsh
DEF: Eagles

Happy enough overall - a little disappointed with myself WR wise (Forgot Landry was on a bye ) but its not bad.

BizzyC

Dammit!
I was doing nothing last night and missed the draft because I forgot to add a reminder to the calendar entry I created to remind myself about the draft!

QB: A.Luck, B.Bortles
RB: D.Murray, E.Elliott, A.Kamara, S.Perine
WR: D.Thomas, A.Robinson, D.Moncrief, N.Agholor
TE: J.Doyle, C.Fleener
K: J.Tucker
DEF: Chiefs

BaronVon

Only got in at the start of the 7th round.

QB: Mariota

RB's Gillislee, Mixon, Jadquiz Rodgers, D'Onta Foreman

WR's Baldwin, Beasley, OBJ, Benjamin, Snead, John Brown

TE: Olsen

K: Lutz

Def: Cardinals

Personally I wouldn't have drafted Mixon in the 3rd, especially with Keenan Allen on the board, but I'm happy enough.

I got a D rating, and I'm projected to go 0-16. Of course, Nfl.com is recommending I pick up Spencer Ware on the waiver:D

aferru

Mixed feelings about my draft. Had to go too many times to pick-up players outside my comfort zone...will see!
