Sorry, was away all day. Moved the Panthers on and used my pick, so Oh Look and Eagle! is on the clock....

Jamaal Charles picked.. padji1 pm'ed

RBs really dry up fast. Mad, considering the depth at WR and TE this year.

I think that's the point. Plenty of depth at WR and TE so RB's become more premium and are taken quicker

That was my strategy at the start too many leagues last year got caught out short with my starting backs going down and being too low on waiver to pick up their replacements leaving me scraping points where WR/TE were always handy finding ample replacements for. Besides with the RB/WR you can go 3 RB or 3 WR on your starting depth.

I noticed you were on the same strategy as me alright, get 3 very good starting backs with first 3 picks and worry about the rest after! Quite happy with McCoy, Richardson and Bradshaw

Those Dillon Panthers are holding the show up again. I think he is well over 24 hours again.

Eire-Dearg

Moved him on, sorry guys.

4thandforever is on the clock.

I'll make my pick when I get home this evening, Flea flicker is blocked in work...

Is that twice now you've made the pick for Dillon Panthers?

TBH I'd look at finding a replacement if there is a similar hold-up for his next pick.

Yeah I would agree. Whatever about missing a short draft how does one miss picks with 24 hour time allowed on the clock.

Eire-Dearg

Yeah it is, and I've been mad busy the past few days so haven't been on the ball with the 24 hour time max. I'll shoot him a PM later and if he doesn't reply I'll go about replacing him.

Is everyone getting the emails when picks are made?

I get the emails alright...

I've changed my team name to the Bolts, dunno how I didn't think of that on Day 1!
Accidentally did my 3rd and 4th round picks on Monday night after being on the beer for 2 days, bad call!

Accordingly, I'd like to trade up back up in the 4th or early 5th. I'll give my 2012 5th and 7th and next year's 5th?

adrian522

Just selected Frank Gore, hope Jacobs doesn't take all his td's away ...

Ball So Hard University is up next

All that for a 5th round pick?

Was just about to post something similar. I won't veto but I think you are giving up too much and should reconsider.

Eire-Dearg

Don't have any real qualms with the trade considering he's moving up 9 spots but can see that it's a hefty bid!

If four more people veto the trade is cancelled.

adrian522

Is next years draft just for rookies?

Mr. Guappa

No, we'll all get to keep 4 players from our team at the end of the season, with the remaining players joining the 2013 rookies in the draft pool.

So effectively there will be 48 players already assigned to teams before the draft and all other players available to draft.

adrian522

In that case the trade isn't too bad as fifth round next year isn't worth nearly as much as a fifth round this year.

True that I actually thought it was a rookies only draft next season Really should read the OP on these things when I sign up.

Eire-Dearg

Will I exectute the trade then? Only 2/5 vetoes.

Your laptop charger breaking on a bank holiday weekend that's how. Got it to the repair shop on Tuesday and only got it back less than an hour ago.

Pretty annoyed as the two picks I ended up with couldn't of been further from what I'd actually have gone with.

Sorry guys.

Sorry to hear that and my apologies for sounding like a d1ckhead. Tis frustrating waiting on picks in this type of draft and im not very patient at all

Ball Hard Uni is up before me now and if he doesnt hurry up im sending the heavies round his house to tell him whats for.

Approaching 72 hours now :mad:

Spongey1975

Is there no way ye can set a timer on that fleaflicker site?

Padji1

Jesus, I really screwed myself up with my (lack of a) RB pick.
Really struggling for a proven starter now, was hoping I'd nick Reggie Bush by trading up.
A bit more research is needed and i'll pick this evening

Eire-Dearg

Hulk Hands is in Poland so he'll be on autopick.

Padji1

Tough decision but went with Beanie Wells. Of the remaining RBs, he had the second highest score for last year and is more or less guaranteed to be Arizona's No. 1 back next season.

Took twice as many carries as 2011 with 245 and, with their problems at QB, hopefully he'll be getting plenty of touches and his injury worries from last year are behind him.

Hulk's up again so can the commish do the needful.

eagle eye

How long does autopick take on this thing? Hulk is still on the clock.

Pick made, pm sent to Mr Guappa.

For the record I picked Dez Bryant.

For which pick? You're on the clock at the minute.

TO is off on his travels while Hulk Hands is in Poland so that's three people I've to make picks for. HH is on auto while TO has provided a list.

Edit: Just looked at the times again, looks like I misread the limit thought you were over 24 but you were only over 12. Sorry about that man

adrian522

Happy to find Mike vick in the 6th round,

Pudsy is up next (PM sent)

eagle eye

Another one goes over the 24 hour mark.
