Yeah, getting tagged is definitely better than receiving 50 PMs and the corresponding emails.

Seems like I'm not the only one that hates them then. Also with pms since the update, You get a pm, a notification and an email. So annoying... just tag or quote me reminding me I'm up please

Pick will be in when I get home in around 30

That notification's superfluous at best, but the emails are the really annoying thing. Whenever I got a PM letting me know I was on the clock, I used to delete them on sight without even opening them. As @rmw10 said, I've generally been one of the most active people around and it's not difficult to see when I'm on the clock. Getting a PM, an email and now a superfluous notification telling me what I already know is very annoying, so tags are a very refreshing change.

I think the Falcons have some good young players to build around along with decent cap space and draft position. For picking 27, I'm good with that.

I also find it unnecessary that every PM comes with its own notification and that notification is located right next to the Inbox, which defeats its purpose. I wish that we could change whether we want to receive the notifications or not.

I agree.  At 27, I'd gladly take what talent the Falcons do have.  They still need a lot of work but a nice core to build around.

Had the Falcons pretty high up myself, would have been my pick, going between 2 teams here so give me a sec

You could definitely do worse. It seems their problems stem more from the franchise itself, which you obviously can't do a lot about.

I was hoping not to land them. Still a couple teams worth having out there but my board got destroyed in those last few picks.

I wish I could say that but I was considering them last year.

I get the feeling it's not the last time we'll be hearing that.

You were here last year? I just hate PMs  possibly because on the old mobile skin you couldn't delete them, and my inbox was always full. Might be different now, actually haven't tried deleting PMs.

PMs can be deleted now

Sucks to hear as I would've been happy to have them. I didn't even bother setting a board with how low I ended up being.

Geving has my permission to manage the Cowboys if he wants. I've been in contact with him through a proxy, and just booked a vacation today in March (too good to pass) in the middle of school, so now I gotta catch up so I can get ahead so I can return caught up or close to it. 

I'll still be around here, and may participate later, but I'm here if anyone wants help in the game or whatever. Unless Geving isn't interested, then I'll just auto pilot like I planned.

Anyone have an updated list of what teams are left. On mobile so kinda tricky and my numbers /teams aren't working out.

Saints, Bills, Cheatriots, Washington.

Yep, those four but I feel I know which one will be yours.

Kinda sad to see the bills fall this far

Let's not discuss teams that haven't been picked.

It's never in good taste, especially for those who have yet to pick.

Much appreciated. I was hoping I wasn't coming off as harsh, but this does seem similar to our unwritten rule about not discussing available players during the draft portion, and I'm glad that somebody else saw it from my perspective.
