[FOOTBALL] Pocket Protectors 2017

[Wrigbone]

A couple of hiccups but we are off and already we have a reacher

[Claudio1965]

I like the reacher pick - drops someone in my lap that I wasn't sure I would be able to get at 1.7

[Rockland Raiders]

Yeah...it changes everything. I almost made a queue the the two guys I was expecting to be available at 6, but then I just made a 6 player queue so I wouldn't get surprised, which I happily was when I saw that I got OBJ.

[Wrigbone]

I got an email that Rick is traveling today and didn't have time to set a queue. He said he should be able to make a pick by 2pm EST.

Let's pick up the pace a bit. Seems like nobody is ready when their pick comes up. Set your queues especially when there are only a couple picks before you are up and you know you might not be available.

[gdsmith007]

Some one is not taking your advice about setting queues. I'm not perfect on that subject either though.

[Rockland Raiders]

Note to all...the clock showing when I (Rockland Raiders) am picking is off by 3 hours

[SempleAndSons]

well, before I packed the car last night I did have a queue, but was emptied before leaving FLA for NC this morning.... The PC was under most everything in a neatly packed trunk, so I wasn't about unload everything and pick someone, not at 4:00 in the morning. Most drafts, I barely hit an hour total. I did give Brian a heads up, sorry for the delay.

Wondering where Ez Elliot was going to fall. 6 game suspension and bye week means he does not play until week 8. I think where he fell is about where he is going ADP

[Claudio1965]

Yeah - figured I'd take a shot at EE in the 3rd - and maybe he gets the suspension reduced to 4 games

[Rockland Raiders]

As a husband and a father with two daughters and one granddaughter I'm trying to avoid guys who hit women. Unfortunately, you end up eliminating a bunch of jerks.

[jeffg]

Are folks into this league or not. Several pauses. Long waits between picks.

[Claudio1965]

It's like we entered a time wrap and it's 2011 --- 1 pick per day

[dazman56]

2011? That means it'll be a Giants Super Bowl year again! WOOT WOOT!

[Rockland Raiders]

My apologies guys...set a nice long queue and neglected to set it to auto-pick.

[SempleAndSons]

the good news, once buddy picks round 7 his auto pick in round 8 should be quick... sorry, I couldn't help myself

[dazman56]

This draft is painful.............we need to change this and go to the timed format. In this day and age it's not that hard to get 12 guys in front of a computer for 3 or 4 hours one night............

[Rockland Raiders]

Relax Rich...we got 3 rounds in yesterday...I think we've found our stride. I vote to keep the current format. Why condense the best part of fantasy sports to 3 or 4 hours? If we can't all be in the same room this is the way to go.

[jmeyer]

Even though this years draft is taking longer than prior drafts, I still love the anxiety of waiting for my pick and the heart break when my guy gets scooped up right before I pick. Like in round 1, how didn't David Johnson fall to me at pick 10, totally ruined my day.

Daz- I like the fact that you got the number 1 Rb and number 1 QB. I just hate the fact that I got to run that gauntlet twice.

[dazman56]

It's probably the fact that I have to wait so long between picks. I'm getting impatient in my old age

[Rockland Raiders]

I cannot believe how many times the guy I wanted went one or two picks before my turn. We're at a point in the draft where people are taking chances and gut feel picks yet Claudio and 007 have been cleaning out my queues time and again

[Wrigbone]

***KUPP***

[jeffg]

Claudio... you emptied my 1 player queue I made last night about 10 picks ago (Hogan)! Maybe I shouldn't draft so fast

[Claudio1965]

Ha yeah, I know. I've had a few players snapped up right before I was going to pick them (Cousins, Winston).

Just a thought for next year, maybe we have the draft after the 3rd exhibition game, so big-time injuries (Ware, Edelman) don't significantly impact the draft?
