2017 Rookie Draft Commentary

[The Knights of Ni]

I am back home and will be ready to make my pick as soon as I am up.

[Preds]

Nate will officially be on the clock at 2.03 in about 30 minutes (1:53pm ET).

I texted the new guy (Miguel) roughly an hour ago but no response. Once 1:53pm ET hits the draft can move on and Miguel can step in with his 2.02 pick at any time after.

[Burt the Butcher]

48 hour clock when last pick made on Friday or Saturday. So he has until tomorrow to pick

I'm getting old, had no recollection of extra draft time on weekends. I should have sat on my pick on Friday in that case just for kicks.

[emerald]

Yeah, he could wait another 24 hours to pick or have Jim proxy it in for him...it's allowed.

[emerald]

We should concider using MFL system for rookie draft and utilize Preds message board for comments. No doubt I would be using the pre-draft feature.

[Burt the Butcher]

We use it in another league and it works quite well

I spoke with Miguel via text last night and know his pick, but I really want him to get online and post it himself. I think he's feeling overwhelmed. If he Ian able to get online I'll proxy pick for him.

Just let him know we don't bite. Oh, wait some times my team has trouble with that; but for the most part we're well behaved.

I chatted with Miguel via text a short while ago. Told him we're all willing to help him navigate the intricacies of the league which we all know is quite complex!

[The Knights of Ni]

I still need help after all these years. Lol

lol, nope, should I text him again?

[chasmvp19]

What if I dont make any picks this year in the draft??? Does it even matter??? Just curious...

[chasmvp19]

I do need another kicker...was one drafted in 2017??? hmmmm....

[chasmvp19]

Cards had Mixon and Watson pegged to fall at 2.09....guess not...all my draft picks are up for grabs...what a crappy draft class...

[Bounty Hunter]

Payer doesn't have to be drafted, just eligible for the draft.

on Mixon. too funny

[chasmvp19]

Well I guess FFB owners are not real NFL owners and could care less about a players personal problems...got it...

Oh the kid is a bad human being, no doubt, but when has that ever mattered in the NFL, much less fantasy? He'll produce for a few years before doing something stupid to get himself suspended or thrown in jail.

[chasmvp19]

Well...Ray Rice had a few left in him aaaaannnnndddd nada...

Its ok he went to the Bengals, he'll feel right at home with all the other thugs. The guy I feel for is Dalvin Walker, kid has no bad influences in MIN.

[chasmvp19]

Yeah...all the Sex boat crew are gone...(did you mean Cook?)

Although Dalvin Cook was selected before my pick I removed him from my board because he was not a good fit for my locker room. it was just never going to work!!

I pick 3 from now at 2.15. Bees says stuck in meeting and could be a few hours. Then Scorpions. I have a predraft list BUT I work 3p-12p everyday until Fathers Day. If I get texts from Mike or Jim I will check in at 6p, 8p and 10p and if my turn will pick. Best I can do after my only weekend off in June (work picked up new contract with tight time frame to complete - informed us Friday 2nd at 5p). I'll do my best to keep us moving...

[Royal Hawaiian Opihi]

No worries. Do what you can. I'll be sending text updates.
And I don't pick until 3.10... so if you get in a bind, I'm happy to proxy pick for you.

John, want to text me a proxy list? I won't be making any moves to move up.

[Burt the Butcher]

thanks for the heads up John. Hopefully they are paying you well!!

They should pay him well, sucks when important stuff interferes with a FF Rookie Draft.

[Liquid Swords]

Looks like this draft will need to come to a screeching halt after the 3.12 pick as (thanks to me) Crowell is still on the board and a 3rd round comp pick may be necessary.
