2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

Post your :bs: here...

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

Thanks for confirming the 6/1 date

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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!

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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.

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

Sweet...I'll Post mine now...1.11 RB Leonard Fornette JAX....welcome to the Chickens!!!

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

:goodpost:

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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...

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

Wow! That's awesome!! Congratulations!!!:jump:

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

You have no idea!!!

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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?

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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.

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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....

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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...

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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.

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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.

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

Weeks old and already in baseball? Nice

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

Wouldn't that be a double rumper?

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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.

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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. :P

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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.

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

We use it in another league and it works quite well

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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.

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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.:D

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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!

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

I still need help after all these years. Lol

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

Thanks, Mike!
Did he say he'd be able to make his pick?

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

lol, nope, should I text him again?

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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...

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

LOL on Mixon. too funny

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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.

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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.

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

Yes meant Cook.

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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!!

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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...

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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.

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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

Re: 2017 Rookie Draft Commentary
 

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.
