4.15 is still the Mutts pick as far as I know (it wasn't included in the Lynch trade).

Jake is on the clock.

[Nittany Dodgers]

Correct, not mine.

How long does he have, 24 hrs? He's been on then clock since this morning.
I've been checking all day. Ugh.

:lame :tool :loser :tribe :insane :retard :Alcoholic :BS

[Mutts]

Sorry guys - was thinking I gave this pick away. I've gotten about a thousand "heads up" messages before every other pick I've made in SAC'D or Frenzy. My picks up all day and not a single message from anybody? lol

Hold your horses, I'll make a pick in a few minutes.

You are up now.

I like what I've done so far in my draft without a 1st rounder...

TE Zach Miller (2.10)
WR Johnnie Lee Higgins (3.11)
RB Dwayne Wright (3.13)
WR Laurent Robinson (5.5)

All these guys were taken in the 2nd round of the Frenzy Rookie draft!

I think Miller, Higgins, and Robinson have legitimate chances to be fantasy starters with Miller becoming a Top 12 TE and Higgins and Robinson can developing into WR2 and possibly #1 (Higgins).

Dwayne Wright to me sounds and watching him on film (Sports Illustrated NFL Draft profiles and youtube clips) looks to be a great sleeper canidate as a power back.

As the loser in the SACD Bowl Game.... I'll give myself a huge pat on the back for this draft since I didn't have a 1st rounder.

Let's wait till 3 years from now to see what you think about that class.

I'll forget what we were talking about in 3 years....

[Burt the Butcher]

Of course but I like the talent I have chosen. At each pick I felt I got the BPA far and away (consider me an anti-IDP guy after last years draft) and like I said each of these players were taken in the 2nd round of the Frenzy Draft so Miller, Higgins, and Wright are were taken roughly at the same spots and Robinson has to be an aboslute steal taken in the 5th round of this draft when he was taken AHEAD of Higgins and Wright in Frenzy.

[Flaxwless]

You think we can finish the draft today? That would be nice.

This will be the last time I check in today, so I won't be able to make any more picks today.

[Philadelphia Freedom]

I will check back again in another hour or so. I think I have picks 5.13 and 5.14 so if we are there I will make both and then it is on to round 6.

got pulled into an interview and an impromptu meeting that turned into 90 minutes after that.

I'll have my pick up shortly.

[Philadelphia Freedom]

Bedtime for bonzo. En la manana mi amigos.

[Philadelphia Freedom]

I see pick 6.07 but not pick 6.06. What am I missing?

Okay, It looks like 6.06 went up just after 6.07.

Sorry..made a mistake on who I wanted with 6.06. They are both out there now....

[Flaxwless]

Hopefully Dodgers get back in. They were just here a few minutes ago.

[Flaxwless]

Woooo!

2 more picks before me.... we're nearing the end.

Doggler and Freedom!

[Burt the Butcher]

Well, we only have Preds Mr. Irrelevant pick left to go, and then we are done with the 2007 SAC'd rookie draft. Well done all. It moved along nicely and a fun time was had by all. We will go ahead and kick off the UFA bidding Sunday at midnight (so essentially Monday morning), regardless of when Mike gets done Gator Razzlin to make his pick. Any problems with that?

[Philadelphia Freedom]

Hi Burt,

Normally I would agree with the UFA starting at midnight but what about people wanting to sign undrafted (in the SAC'd) rookies. Until Mike makes the last pick it seems like we should wait since someone could start the bidding on the Irrelevant player that Mike is going to pick.

2 things. 1st, I IM'd with Mike Friday evening, and he said he wasn't going to make his pick. 2nd, there is a 24 hour clock on making picks, so his time has expired and all players are up for grabs.

So, let's begin this thing.

[Philadelphia Freedom]

Thanks, the 24 hour thing makes sense. However, I swear we had something somewhere that said that picks had to be made. I think this is from section 5B (however the formating in Word sucks):

Draft Picks CANNOT be waived.

Not sure how that would work with the 24 limit since this does not hold up anyone else from picking.

I came here to post that exact same thing. Let's not set a bad precedent here. Come on, Mike. Why not make a pick? Plus, a pick is not lost when the 24 hour clock expires. The drafting team makes their pick anytime after the 24 hour clock, other teams can just step in front of them. There's no one to step in front, he just needs to get it done and we can move on.
