Philadelphia Freedom · May 30th, 2017, 10:46 AM

Thanks for confirming the 6/1 date

Bounty Hunter · May 30th, 2017, 11:46 AM

1.1 can make the pick at any time, don't have to wait until the start.

Philadelphia Freedom · May 30th, 2017, 11:48 AM

Understood. However, I will likely wait since injuries could impact my final decision. If everyone stays healthy the pick will likely be posted the morning of 6/1. Thanks!

Bounty Hunter · May 30th, 2017, 12:10 PM

RFA WR salaries were through the roof again this year so that means RBs will be drafted early and often this year. Get em while you can!! I need to build my WR core.

Royal Hawaiian Opihi · May 30th, 2017, 05:58 PM

Anyone can post picks earlier than the start date... but the 24 hour clock doesn't begin until June 1.

Missed that one!! My Mock had you taking WR Mike Williams.

chasmvp19 · May 30th, 2017, 11:00 PM

You have a Mock with WR in it??? HUH!!!!

Royal Hawaiian Opihi · June 1st, 2017, 11:23 AM

I'll make sure Miguel (CheeseBalls) gets his pick in today.

Cool...thanks Jim...now us geeks are going to have to check back hourly ;-)

Royal Hawaiian Opihi · June 1st, 2017, 12:38 PM

Miguel's pick is in! I made a proxy for him, since I just got a text from him.

Royal Hawaiian Opihi · June 1st, 2017, 11:17 PM

I sent PM's earlier today letting the next 3 drafters know they were: on the clock, on deck, or in the hole. Does anyone have an in with Nate? Don't want him to miss his pick...

Preds · June 2nd, 2017, 01:59 AM

I just sent Nate a text. Pretty sure he has little free time with new baby twins at home!

New? I thought they were almost a year old? But I am old and forgetful...

Time must really fly when you're old. The girls are only a little over 2 weeks old.

You have no idea!!!

Burt the Butcher · June 2nd, 2017, 10:16 AM

I texted Matt that he was up. He replied he is out for the day so will be a while before he gets to his pick...I sent him the 4 picks, hoping he has someone in mind...hmmm...who is top Philly pick?

Bounty Hunter · June 2nd, 2017, 06:36 PM

8 picks 1 WR, I think it's time they start flying off the board. Then I can pick another RB or maybe a QB at 2.7.

Burt the Butcher · June 2nd, 2017, 06:37 PM

I'll be having dinner with some co-workers tonight, so might not pick until later tonight if it comes to me.

Outback Steakhouse...bet there ain't many vegan options there...beer and a salad I guess....

chasmvp19 · June 2nd, 2017, 07:44 PM

Yeah cause thats where I head for vegan options...Outback STEAK house...

Royal Hawaiian Opihi · June 2nd, 2017, 08:00 PM

In about 15 minutes I'm about to leave for the night (preschool graduation at my church, and dinner to follow)... so if it gets to the 1.10 pick, I'll be able to make it around 10pm PST. Just in case folks are eager to know when the next picks will come...

Bounty Hunter · June 3rd, 2017, 12:56 PM

2 WRs and 2 TEs in the 1st 10 picks; what FF universe are we living in?

Royal Hawaiian Opihi · June 3rd, 2017, 02:00 PM

This is a DEEP rookie class of RBs... will any pan out? We'll see. But I'm not surprised to see so many selected so far.

Royal Hawaiian Opihi · June 3rd, 2017, 02:32 PM

Just heard from Miguel (CheeseBalls)... he's working today. He'll make his selection when he gets home tonight. And Nate is at his son's double header baseball game... so he's not available until later tonight, too...

So... great work this morning... but we're on a bit of a hiatus for now.

Weeks old and already in baseball? Nice

Royal Hawaiian Opihi · June 3rd, 2017, 04:04 PM

Maybe it was a veiled "twins" reference (double header), that meant he was actually changing diapers or something?!?

Wouldn't that be a double rumper?
