Well Yahoo doesn't exactly let you order the picks correctly post-trades or have a time slot so yeah you do kind of need the thread here too to keep it organized, it's easier when it's all in one location, which is why I check this board out over the Yahoo! site even though occasionally a pick will be there before it's here when you sneak it in

EDIT: Nvm, don't need to keep the last part in, I misunderstood the intent of your last post.

After VALUE picks his spot and keeper, you can do the same. Only two spots will be left though.

We all have our preferences. No need to bicker.

Crasher, if you're honestly are growing tired of this... we can make this champion is the commish each year.
And then we can all fear the year 'Taco' becomes our glorious commish. (The League / FX reference).

No one's got a gun to your face to rejoin either.....and you are the one who does the most complaining....maybe you should ask the same question to yourself....sh!t go buy some tacos and mill it over......

Kudos for "The League" reference. Fantastic show and cry laughing most of the time because they hit those rare comedy buttons you NEVER feel in a normal comedy. I LOVE RUXIN!!!!

I see the boards are in pre-draft mode.

Sorry if I offended you by giving someone else credit, but I obviously can't win either way with your hypersensitivity since you've jumped me more than once even when I was trying to defend or be fair to you.

Trades are one thing....and why announce one pick from our super-conference meetings until they're all made?? I only put them in and hit save as they go on in case of browser crash and it updates the "best available" list
and believe me I realized during the "I made a decision which isn't the decision people wanted so it doesn't count as a decision" garbage to not take anything said in here with a SHRED of credibility

PS I guess Brian needs to bring y'all a Doctor's note for his wife's back problems testing your attention spans right?

Everyone says it's funny but I almost feel like I can't watch a fantasy football satire, cause it'll just make me feel weird about doing a fantasy league that winds up using a month to draft lol (between the board draft function and the pre-draft keepers).

Besides, this league has enough comedy between the Manta Blocks, backup QB's being picked in the fourth round and CRASHER picking Frank Gore every year in the first round

I, for one, am blocked from the yahoo fantasy site while at work. (where I am most of my waking hours) So this site is where I keep up. & having the different results thread helps me track picks and trends and needs and such.

Trades are one thing....and why announce one pick from our super-conference meetings until they're all made??

I offer you an answer to your question. Lets say I'm looking at 2 guys I want on my team & the 1st guy in your conference call picks one of them and there are a couple guys picking before my next pick who also need that position, but I don't wanna miss out on the remaining player. If I knew player #1 was picked, I may be motivated to make a trade to move up.

Realistically there are points in the draft where three picks are going to happen quick anyway. That's nothing, it's not an eight-pick block the way it was last year when four people mass picked at the turn of each round. If people don't want to trade that's their prerogative. I do hope everyone looks at their PM's before their pick just in case.

The other side of the equation would be how long do we have to wait to draft in case of a trade offer? I like to pick right away unless I'm working on a trade beforehand.

I feel strange because I've been in a good mood for a while... since I gave up trying to reason the Manning ruling.
Other than keepers magically happening, I've never once said I'm tired of this league (and never did I question why I'm on this forum)

This place is great. I'm sorry you can't let people bitching at you mildly.

You should see the crap that goes on in other offline leagues I'm in.
Raping pregnant wife jokes and all... to be fair, they are quite funny - in a very dark sense.
Ok, maybe Veronica wouldn't have liked it.

Brilliant!!! This has to be our August theme song.

So lets say a trade is made moments prior to the deadline for that pick, do you get another 12 hours to make your pick??

[LOTCB]

I am thinking so: I would think it would work like the real NFL Draft when there is a trade the clock re-sets: Or can we get a ruling on this? Maybe 4 hours?

[aylbert]

No, we maintain the clock on the pick itself, and not the GM. If you trade last minute for a pick, you need to make that pick immediately.

That really should never be an issue. If you are trading for the pick on the clock, you should know immediately why you traded up.

This would be more a Crasher ruling, but I don't believe a trade would be allowed where the person on the clock announces he traded his pick at the deadline, and then the clock expires, before the other GM is back on. (ie: I send a PM to Crasher offering my 2nd/3rd for his 1st... I don't hear back... Crasher then with 2minutes to spare, responds back: done deal!.. I log in 2 hours later, and see he accepted and I got autopicked and draft moved on) Don't be shady Crasher! HA

And to add: We have a soft auto-pick. If you get autopicked, but show up prior to the next selection. You can re-pick. However, once the next pick is made... you are locked into that player at that slot. You can try to trade him for another pick in that round of course, but you can't release a player back into the draft pool after others have already picked and pick somebody new.

[redruM]

OK thx for the info, I was more worried about the scenario you talked about where I offer a trade to the team currently on the clock, they accept and i donot know it until after the pick expires....

BTW, pretty glad this process is taking its time, I have no idea what i am doing w/ my keeper yet...

[Hi, I'm VALUE!]

Sorry about the delay. I am working out a keeper dilemma here. fvcking Marshawn and his DUI
