    Mistakes happen...

    I sent Eb a list of the guys I wanted in round 17. The top 3 were:

    1) C Dominic Raiola
    2) C Daniel Koppen
    3) WR TJ Houshmandzadeh

    All three were picked after the two picks that I "passed". I know mistakes happen... but I'd like to know that if I leave a list, players will be picked for me.

    I agree. Eb tried to rush and get round 17 and 18 done today so we are still on schedule, but right now we have 5 teams that missed their pick and EB must have never gotten your list. We should have these lists sent to all 3 of the draft managers... EB, Rich, and Devin.

    Well Devin said he would be gone one of these days and Rich was out of town and Eb has been busy so maybe we just got by a bad stretch when all 3 couldnt be here

    Well Eb was here for my picks. Or at least he put me on the clock twice I believe. And those were two young centers with a drop-off in talent right after them. I'm not trying to *****... but I got to school during the day and won't be able to make most of these rounds... I want to know if I need to login during my English Test or something.

    There is a center out there 1-2 years older and rated the same rank as the three guys you tried to pick

    im not saying it doesnt suck but I think everything is going as fair as possible this is almost an impossible task to go through without some mistakes and bumps in the road its unfortunate we couldnt all agree to a couple of 3 hour spans when we could all be online and just knock this draft out

    I am moving fellas so until saturday I am off and on. I am trying to stay in the loop though.

    Lists you leave are typically taken, occasionally we arent around 24-7 when some of you sporadically make your picks. Its unfortunate but it happens.

    Unfortunately, I have to agree. I would be pissed but we also have to understand that with all the trades and the PM'ing of picks it is easy to get backed up.

    I for one, have to applaud the three of them I (Eb, Devin, and R. Rich) for the AMAZING job they have done thus far. And we still have over 35 rounds left.

    I understand your feelings, That Guy, but things were hectic today and the board was done for about 8 hours. When the site was down, your pm might have been lost. i know that you expect to get the players that you had on your list and I would be pissed too. What I'm guessing happened is that Eb had a whole bunch of PMs and it got buried. I'm sure there will be some way that this can be resolved.

    Mikey has most of it correct. The PM finally came through this afternoon. I did not see it as I ran out to practice. My apologies.

    I would not put a team on the clock if I had their picks. There is no real way to rectify the situation other than to allow you the two picks at any time.

    Does he have anymore players on his list? Because no offense, but he really got screwed. He would have been able to take ANY of those guys if you picked them. What's the point of lists if they arent used? I know it's not your fault, but I feel that he should at least get one of them...like the TJ Houshmandzadeh pick because he was still available when he was online.
