When I pick late, I try to comfort myself keeping in mind that I pick early in 2nd round. Or that @allblackraven will watch 60 good players go before his second pick.

Very true. That's been my biggest fall back. I've leaned on it often since I've been near the end in literally every random order of the last two years. Just hurts a bit more in this process since being near the top has a more distinct advantage.

Definitely feeling that vibe right now

The first round always goes by fast. Check in several times so we can keep this thing moving along.

Last time I played, I was third from the back.  This year I am third!  I like this much better.  

Won't have to have another Bortles/Manziel type discussion in my head this year.

I'll take Bortles no problem

Introducing the latest addition to the DaF game courtesy of @regz1997: divisions!

Basically, they will add maybe a bit more thought while creating your team. If someone does what @Dubs did last year and picks Antonio Brown and Odell Beckham Jr. with their first two picks and you are in their division, maybe you want to draft a cornerback higher than before to try and stop him. Things like that. Some people may take the divisions into effect, others may not and that is fine. Just a minor thing to add to maybe add a bit more fun. Also, it would help people rank teams after if they want to do that (pick a division winner).

So here are the divisions. Method of creation was just counting to 8 in order of the signup thread.

Division 1:
@Mt. Crushmore
@KDUBB44
@harfordravenfan
@PuRock

Division 2:
@allblackraven
@ravensdan
@757RavensFan
@PaRAYdise

Division 3:
@52520Andrew
@Ozzsome
@usmccharles
@Tru11

Division 4:
@ludy51
@LosT_in_TranSlatioN
@Dubs
@ALSKAN RAVEN FAN

Division 5:
@Archeearl92
@RaineV1
@BALTIMOREFLACCO
@BOLDnPurPnBlacK

Division 6:
@RavensFanMania
@CalvinSmoke
@codizzle
@Deflated Football

Division 7:
@-Truth-
@ravefan52
@VeiledPsychosis
@thieverycorporation

Division 8:
@BmoreBird22
@regz1997
@Daft Classic
@Sizzlebshu

[Mt. Crushmore]

Oh boy, the top 2 picks are in the same division 

[Mt. Crushmore]

Everyone needs to have a roster/depth chart (whatever you want to call it) posted in the Directory thread. Thanks.

[BmoreBird22]

You got pick #5.

[RavensFanMania]

How do I always pick towards the bottom in the draft a franchise league.  

[ludy51]

Got my roster up first.

That entitles me to the #1 pick

[ludy51]

All three of my division opponents pick higher than me

Me and @52520Andrew picking next to each other? This will be interesting. I think you can rule out at least 1 player Andrew...
