What position is he listed on in the NFL teams roster? And what position dud the NFL list him as when he was drafted?

[Burt the Butcher]

He was not drafted....a TE in college...on NFL.com, the team roster lists him as WR

Then IMO he'd be a WR.

[Burt the Butcher]

yah...makes sense...

OK...well Jim said he would not be checking in until around 1pm EDT, so I am going to wait another hour or so, to see if any offers roll in...then will just roll the dice and take a pick

[Royal Hawaiian Opihi]

I think we have to go with whatever the NFL.COM site says he is.

[Burt the Butcher]

Still trying to work out a deal...should have either pick or trade in soon...

[Royal Hawaiian Opihi]

We're now at 3.08... aka "THE BURNERS SHOW." They have 4 of the next 5 picks. Go at it!

[Royal Hawaiian Opihi]

and we were moving along so well....

I just sent Frank a text. Maybe he doesn't know he's been up for the past 19+ hours.

[Royal Hawaiian Opihi]

I sent him a PM last night, as I've been doing all through this draft.

He didn't respond to my text. Maybe he's out of town or something.

When does his clock run out? 7:51pm ET tonight or tomorrow (not sure if it's a 24 or 48 hour clock)

[Royal Hawaiian Opihi]

24 hour clock...
He can make his pick whenever... he doesn't lose it.
But the next person up can make theirs as soon as the 24-hour clock expires.

Cool, Burt, Matt, get you're picks ready for a couple hours from now. Lets wrap this thing up!

[Burt the Butcher]

You can pick at 7:51pm if Frank doesn't do so between now and then. Let wrap this up!

[Bounty Hunter]

Since the last pick was made on Sunday I thought he had 48 hours to make the pick. This is IAW the rules on the web site or are these rules outdated.

FROM THE RULES:

Once the rookie draft begins, teams will have 24 hours to make a selection if the previous selection was made on Monday through Thursday, and 48 hours to make a selection if the previous pick was on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

Am I missing something?

I asked commish Jim if it was a 24 or 48 hour clock, he said 24 hours so I went with it.

I thought it was Friday/Saturday bids had 48 hours, but if the written rules include Sunday as well so be it (though it does seem an extremely generous amount of time considering 24 hours on a Sunday bid would expire on Monday which is a business day and a reasonable day for people to check-in by).

Frank is online!
