Anybody heard what time the draft is gonna start?

[Mt. Crushmore]

I'll post the thread when I get home. Currently on my way.

Finally

[Mt. Crushmore]

We are under way.  I PM'd Yata who is on the clock.

The threads up are. Please reserve all of your discussions exclusively to this thread. That means no posting anything other than your selections in The Draft thread and no posting anything at all in the Big Board thread.

[Mt. Crushmore]

As I said in the Big Board thread, we are trying something new this year using a Google Doc and having everyone contribute.  Please try and add your pick to it after you pick.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Did we decide on coaches or not? Yes we can draft them? Yes we have to draft one?

 

Anytime you want one.  We've always said spend your picks how you want, so I don't think you would have to have one.

Should there be 27 rounds in this case?

[-Truth-]

Obviously a fan of the pick.

We do have a continuation at the end where members can continue drafting so technically we already have the 27th in place.

[ravensdan]

Yeah. Not much of a debate at number one.

Does this mean that Aaron Rodgers is still available with A.A. Ron being selected?

[-Truth-]

Yeah. Not much of a debate at number one.

 

I agree with you there, but I remember Rodgers falling to No.2 last year so I feel like it could be a tighter race among others.

Andrew Luck is most likely gone with this second pick. @BmoreBird22 was talking earlier about how he likes him at #2

You're new to this process and it hasn't been made mention of before so there's no way that you would've known, but we have a rule in place that we don't discuss players who are still available. Just figured I'd give a heads up.

It would be hard to argue that upside at two I think I would take a QB in his prime right now with a ton of successful playoff experience and no injury concern.

Gotcha. Since he said it in an open forum I thought it was fair game... My bad

No apologies necessary my friend. In fact, we dropped the ball on our end by not mentioning it sooner so I apologize for not giving the heads up in advance. We had a long, detailed thread for the Forum Mock called "Rules Thread" but that was mostly because the process was far more complex. The only other rules that I can think of which apply to this process are:

 

1. No trading players or draft selections.

2. No picking out of turn.

3. Each team is given 12 hours to make a selection.

4. If a team is skipped twice, their allotted time is halved thereafter (i.e. 12=6=3, etc.).

5. Every team must have an entry in the "Directory and Rosters" thread.

6. No socks with sandals.

 

We also have a rule that colluding with other participants isn't allowed, but it's rather difficult to collude under the circumstances. I hope I didn't miss anything.

Rule 6: No socks with sandals

No shirt, no shoes, no service

Thank you and I'm glad you mentioned that.  Boy do I hate that...

I see nothing has changed about the discussion thread essentially being another Dump Thread at times
