If an owner misses their time slot, does that mean that they can pick any time after that until the end of the round? Or only after the last person has gone? (ie, in the 'catch up time')

RetroRaiders81
04-19-2005, 11:49 AM
I was against getting him in the first round...I hope he doesn't get injured, but theres Manning's go to guy.

R. Rich
04-19-2005, 11:49 AM
What's the consensus here? Are we going to go ahead w/ the 4th round immediately, or wait until the starting time for round 4? If we do the latter, I'll just check in around 3pm or so.

L.A. Playa
04-19-2005, 11:50 AM
I think they have until the end of catch up time to make the pick then they forfeit the pick

L.A. Playa

sitting out 2 rounds of the draft has been hard especially like someone said seeing some of the players go off the board but oh well there is always the future

I know its terrible.:cynic:

I just freed up 10mill and moved up from the 10th to the 8th and got the #1 in 6.

I have 3 6th rounders now.

Shrewd.

Devin
04-19-2005, 11:56 AM
Rich we will be doing the 4th today.

Maine Men will have until 3:15 to make both picks, after that both the catch up rounds and missed picks for round 3 cannot be made up.

RetroRaiders81
04-19-2005, 11:57 AM
I had five 6th rounders, but now I have four, got rid of my 8th, which I wanted to do anyway, and picked up a big player.

Nate Clements is happy Owens is out of the division.

R. Rich
04-19-2005, 12:00 PM
Yeah, I knew we started today, but I was just wondering if people wanted to go right into the 4th round (ASSuming Maine Men picks) or if we were going to wait until 3pm to start the 4th.

L.A. Playa
04-19-2005, 12:11 PM
I have to admit since I really dont know any of you guys, didnt know what to expect but this is gonna be a great league because of everyone's knowledge and well thought out strategies I must admit the draft has gone a little different than I thought it would but I am impressed with the majority of the picks

L.A. Playa
04-19-2005, 12:24 PM
I have a question we all are required to have a 53 man roster lets say someone isnt paying attention and by pick 40 is at the $85 million cap do they forfeit their picks and have to cut players to get under cap so they can have their roster???

Devin
04-19-2005, 12:24 PM
lol hit the Edit button instead of quote.

"Yeah, I knew we started today, but I was just wondering if people wanted to go right into the 4th round (ASSuming Maine Men picks) or if we were going to wait until 3pm to start the 4th."

Anyway, yeahwe will continue on soon as Maine Men choose.

R. Rich
04-19-2005, 12:42 PM
Okay folks, I've gotta take an interview and then I'm going to lunch, so I'm outta here for a while. I'll check back in around 3pm.

L.A. Playa
04-19-2005, 01:53 PM
so we move on at 12:15 PST ???

Devin
04-19-2005, 01:55 PM
yes.

R. Rich
04-19-2005, 01:59 PM
Alright, let's get this thing in motion again.

Devin

Devin
04-19-2005, 02:49 PM
F_L must have fallen asleep lol

R. Rich
04-19-2005, 02:50 PM
Good pick, ryjam. I kind of figured it would be Moss.

R. Rich
04-19-2005, 03:13 PM
What happened to Forward Lateral? He made his first pick, then disappeared.

L.A. Playa
04-19-2005, 03:14 PM
ok back I see this thing has gone to a snails pace LOL

Devin
04-19-2005, 03:16 PM
two wr.....interesting.

A lot of other talent on the board.

R. Rich
04-19-2005, 03:17 PM
Clayton was the WR I was hoping to land a little later on. Nice pick, FL. He had a great rookie season.

Forward_Lateral
04-19-2005, 03:18 PM
Bushwhackers decided, after much deliberation, taht taking 2 stud, young WRs is the best move at this point. They will provide many matchup problems for opposing D's.

Devin
04-19-2005, 03:18 PM
they will have to, you dont have a RB :P

Forward_Lateral
04-19-2005, 03:20 PM
they will have to, you dont have a RB :P

While eveyrone is over paying for RBs, the Bushwhackers will get theirs in a later, cheaper round.

RetroRaiders81
04-19-2005, 03:21 PM
Still looking for a fourth rounder!

R. Rich
04-19-2005, 03:22 PM
While eveyrone is over paying for RBs, the Bushwhackers will get theirs in a later, cheaper round.


Good idea. I'm still trying to build my OL and defense, but I will be on the lookout for a good RB falling to me at the right time.

Forward_Lateral
04-19-2005, 03:31 PM
Good idea. I'm still trying to build my OL and defense, but I will be on the lookout for a good RB falling to me at the right time.

:up: There will be tons falling.

Devin
04-19-2005, 03:35 PM
I dont know how Kerney fell to me but he did.

R. Rich
04-19-2005, 03:36 PM
Kerney is a nice pick in the 4th.

RetroRaiders81
04-19-2005, 03:37 PM
I'm surprised how long Donnie Edwards went. I really wanted him.

Sportsuser101
04-19-2005, 03:37 PM
Kerney is a nice pick in the 4th.
I was either going to draft Kerney or Pace. I went offense for the 1st time.

Devin
04-19-2005, 03:38 PM
Yeah I was gonna go DT, but decided Kerney was a better play.

RetroRaiders81
04-19-2005, 03:38 PM
Since I traded my 6th and 8th for TO(1st rounder), is he gonna be worth 10 mil?

Devin
04-19-2005, 03:46 PM
TO is the best WR in football, thats a huge money hit though.

Not to mention he was injured last year. All depends on how you weigh it up.

RetroRaiders81
04-19-2005, 03:48 PM
For a 6th and a 8th, how could you not. I wasn't gonna draft a reciever any time soon, just build by defense and O-Line.

Devin
04-19-2005, 03:51 PM
Well fi your happy with the pick thats all that matters. Just watch your cap ;)

L.A. Playa
04-19-2005, 03:59 PM
Kearney was a great pick I just figured I needed to go OL at that point

Devin
04-19-2005, 04:01 PM
Yeah I knew I needed to make a defensive pick after going 3 offense.

Sportsuser101
04-19-2005, 04:02 PM
Kearney was a great pick I just figured I needed to go OL at that point
Same here although I preferred Kerney over Kearney.:funny:

L.A. Playa
04-19-2005, 04:05 PM
Hey when ya at work spelling goes out the window LOL I think at this point the only bad pick is not picking with no compensation otherwise how can you really complain about your choice we are still at the point of high end players just your personal preference

Sportsuser101
04-19-2005, 04:06 PM
Round 11 is when it will start getting interesting.

R. Rich
04-19-2005, 04:16 PM
Round 11 is when it will start getting interesting.


That's when I'll probably be away for a while, since I traded out of a lot of the teens. Now, once the 20s come up, then it will get interesting for me.

RetroRaiders81
04-19-2005, 04:17 PM
The 6th round will be interesting for me :snicker:

L.A. Playa
04-19-2005, 04:19 PM
I agree I think rds 11-25 will be interesting because some will be scrambling for postions in their starting lineup and key reserves, also around 25 could be when special teams come into play

Sportsuser101
04-19-2005, 04:19 PM
The 6th round will be interesting for me :snicker:
Sure will be.. PASS... PASS.. PASS :funny:

Im here now just dont have a 4th so i had to you know go to class and other such things

Devin
04-19-2005, 05:10 PM
Wow "That Guy" wasted some good 4th round picks, unless he skipped on purpose.

That Guy
04-19-2005, 05:17 PM
I can't make my pick up right now? Nobody has picked since my designated time.... my computer got raped with viruses and I couldn't get online. I take tackle Matt Light with pick that I made during the specified time period.

Devin
04-19-2005, 05:19 PM
Nah man cause thats the way the rules are setup.

That Guy
04-19-2005, 05:19 PM
Read the post in the draft thread.

Devin
04-19-2005, 05:22 PM
You are still able to pick for this round in the designated time. You cant just jump in anywhere.

Devin
04-19-2005, 05:53 PM
R.Rich only has 6 minutes, ill try PM'ing him.

RetroRaiders81
04-19-2005, 06:02 PM
Hey Devin, make sure you update rd 4, I have LA's pick.

MikeInRoch
04-19-2005, 06:15 PM
I know it's been resolved this time - however, I fail to see why it would be a problem if someone who missed their time (work does call, ya know...) put their pick in ASAP. It's not at all unfair for people drafting after them, because if they had the pick in on time, the exact same number of players are off the board.

Besides, that's exactly how the NFL draft works.

Devin
04-19-2005, 06:20 PM
Even though its been resolved and the horse is dead, it was likely just a missinterpretation of the rules.

Either way he got his picks.

DraftBoy
04-19-2005, 06:32 PM
Damn you Rich that was my top rated Rb

Devin
04-19-2005, 06:40 PM
Take Eb's player list, put it into word and delete players as they come off fellas. 2-3 times now today owners trying to take players that were already gone.

I cant imagine the 40th round.

L.A. Playa
04-19-2005, 06:41 PM
or just print it out and cross players off as they come off the board

Devin
04-19-2005, 06:41 PM
either way works lol.

L.A. Playa
04-19-2005, 06:42 PM
Devin if the people for the beginning of the 5th rd are here are we gonna continue after the hour make up period???

Yah, sorry about that, I do have a list I just must have missed him or something.

Devin
04-19-2005, 06:51 PM
Devin if the people for the beginning of the 5th rd are here are we gonna continue after the hour make up period???

probably not. If Eb shows up and says its ok im indifferent as id like to keep it going. But unless the commish says yes, fraid my hands are tied.

RetroRaiders81
04-19-2005, 06:58 PM
Alright, but I'm ready to pick, so just let me know.

The King
04-19-2005, 07:00 PM
I would like to move up in the 5th. Ill give up my 5 and a 6

Devin
04-19-2005, 07:10 PM
"If somebody misses their pick they are able to pick it at any time just like the NFL draft. If other teams make their pick(s) in the interim so be it. The make up hour is just extra time to give folks a last minute chance."

From the horses mouth. I stand corrected and apologize for the brief controversey today.

Devin
04-19-2005, 07:10 PM
If Eb gives the ok we can start the 5th anytime.

L.A. Playa
04-19-2005, 07:12 PM
dont we have to wait till 6PM PST ??? just to give the teams that missed a chance

Devin
04-19-2005, 07:14 PM
Yeah, but after that he will tell us if we can move on or not.

L.A. Playa
04-19-2005, 07:15 PM

RetroRaiders81

Ebenezer
04-19-2005, 07:25 PM
If Eb gives the ok we can start the 5th anytime.
not until I catch up on all those trades!! Devin, if all those trades have been logged into the 5th and 6th rounds go ahead and open it up!!

Devin
04-19-2005, 07:26 PM
You might want to double check but I believe I got all the ones from today.

I trust you...and guys will let us know if the order is wrong...that and I just don't have the time to check it right now!

Ebenezer
04-19-2005, 07:35 PM
sorry about the delay guys...they have until 9PM and just want to give them all a chance.

I'm happy too get Brooking, I didn't think he'd last this long. :dance:

Devin
04-19-2005, 08:08 PM
Brooking isnt a bad pick, I want to establish my lines a bit before I go LB.

RetroRaiders81
04-19-2005, 08:10 PM
I'll address that in the 6th.

Devin
04-19-2005, 08:13 PM
OL is gonna be hard to fill decently in later rounds.

L.A. Playa
04-19-2005, 08:34 PM
its tough sitting out some of these early rounds but im gonna trust my formula that I created and see if i know anything or just full of it I think considering the run on DL berry at that pick was a great pick up

RetroRaiders81
04-19-2005, 08:36 PM
Yah, he was on my list.

Devin

R. Rich

R. Rich
04-20-2005, 06:21 AM
Schobel, huh? Not bad.

I'm done until the 8th round, but I'm happy w/ what I have so far. There is one player I'm hoping will last until my pick and, if need be, I'll trade back up to acquire. Beyond that, I'm pretty sure I'll get most of the team I projected.

Rich, don't you think you took Jones a bit early? :down: I owe you a beating.

Considering I had 2 picks in the 4th and not another pick until the 8th round...................no.

Ebenezer

He was one of those guys I didnt bother to include bc I figured he'd be done round 2, i usually dont go LB till later one but with him sitting there in round 5 it was a steal imo. Who is gonna be around this afternoon that I can pm a list of my picks too? I will not be around to make my pick.

first year is a crap shoot I guess because you dont know how the computer is gonna calculate and use the players you choose with 20 teams using 32 NFL teams starters every team should be pretty strong considering but im sure there are certain matchups the computer looks for and gives the advantage to so it will be interesting to see what those are and adjust in subsequent seasons

Thanks man! I had some others, but I wanted to make sure that I had a pair of solid tackles for McNabb and then loved that Rudi Johnson was still available and only 26 and doesn't have a history of injuries either. :dance:

I'm happy so far. But now i want to find some way to move back into the 6th round. Anyone looking to move down? I will offer you a 8th rounder and a $2 million pick too. :up:

I've been like you too. I have been tempted to change my stategy before and actually did in the 2nd round. I wasn't 100% set on Rogers, but i saw the DTs flying, so I snatched him.

You think that's bad, I have to wait out 3 rounds TWICE until I pick! I'll be lucky to land any stud players, which is why I took the ones I needed, my "foundation", early.

Just a thought out loud seems as if The Nasty Nights and the Maine Men where not members of this league that we would be at around Rd 10 in the draft because seems as if the other owners check in at the very least and would pick when they saw they could to keep things moving but thats just a thought out loud

C'mon, pmacla. It's too early to count yourself out. MBB has a nice beginning to his defense and got a great WR, but there's still plenty of good players available, one of the reasons I traded down so much to where I have a stockpile of picks in later rounds.

It's a chance you take, I guess. I took a chance on him being there if I traded down a couple spots, and it didn't work out. Even still, I couldn't pass up MBB's offer of 2 picks in the 8th for my 7th, so I pulled the trigger on that deal before you made your pick. Either way, I wasn't going to get Gates, so no big deal.
