Compensatory picks have been added to official draft order...please review and verify

[Bounty Hunter]

Hunters are correct.

[pacificscrub]

Looks good for Clowns

[emerald]

Hell Mutts are correct

[Miners]

I'm good, but if you want to give me a compensatory pick in the third round so that Hans has to draft there instead of my normal spot, that would be much appreciated.

[bigmash33]

My picks look correct as well

[Shiners]

I'm good.

[Liquid Swords]

Other than the inferior Disciples of the 26 Chambers hijacking our team, all looks good.

Sincerely,
Disciples of the 36 Chambers

[PencilGeeks]

Im good.. I like my 2 spots in the 3rd round. Gives me more to trade with

[Burt the Butcher]

The official start of the draft is 12:01am May 24, which is when clock will begin keeping time on each pick, but picks can begin being made anytime prior to that, in order of course.

For those of you who like reports from Rookie mini camps here is a real treat.


In an effort to save you some time so you can enjoy your Memorial Day period, and prep for all those college graduation parties, etc., I’d like to do a quick recap of reporting from all the rookie mini-camps, for all 32 teams, concerning all the rookies you are looking at from your favorite team, and/or for a Dynasty Rookie Draft purposes.

Here’s what the coach said about that high-round draft pick, after watching him from recent rookie mini-camps:

“We’re excited about ______ (fill in whatever rookie you were looking up info on). He’s as good and/or better than we thought. We’re really excited about what _______ brings to the table. ________ had a very good camp. We’re looking forward to a big year from ________. “

Here’s what the coach said about that undrafted free agent rookie long-shot you had your eye on:

“________ is working hard. __________ did some good things out there. ________ needs to keep working hard. We liked what we saw from _______.”

Here’s what the guys paid to follow the team said about the exciting rookie ________. “They really like this kid.“

Here’s what you never hear about any rookie from the rookie mini-camps:

“I was on the fence with _______, but after seeing him in camp just now, my suspicions were confirmed…we made another $#!tty draft pick. I’m not sure if the GM has his head up his ass, or just his scouts. Either way, I’m stuck with this turd. We can’t cut him already, but I’d like to speed up the inevitable if I could. What were we thinking? Is that microphone on?“

[Burt the Butcher]

And we're off

[bigmash33]

Huh...kinda of unexpected at the top. Has to make Philly a bit happier about 1.03

[Burt the Butcher]

Solid speed WR going to one of the the top offenses in the league? I like it myself.

[pacificscrub]

Yes, but taking a "solid" receiver with the first overall pick in the draft? I think that's defined as a reach. I think I'd rather have very good talent on a solid team than solid talent on a very good team, but time will tell.

[Burt the Butcher]

This year, I just don't see that there is stand out, obvious, consensus #1 pick. Cooks is just as good as any of the other WR's available. And in this day and age, RB's just are not as valuable any more, unless you can get a McCoy or AP. But we'll see....

[bigmash33]

Not a #1, but there is some solid argument that there is a #1 and #1A in most scoring systems, especially with some ppr. I don't think Cooks is a bad pick, just surprising. If he's your guy, go for it.

[Bounty Hunter]

Cooks is the bigger,badder,stronger, more agile, just as fast as Tavon Austin. So I think he's in the ball park for the #1 overall pick.

[Burt the Butcher]

The 'clock' will officially begin running tomorrow at 12:01 am...good luck everyone

[Shiners]

16 hrs to official start!

Fair warning, i likely won't make my pick until this evening.

I can see no benefit to picking early.

[Burt the Butcher]

Clock is officially rolling now, as of 12:01 this morning. PencilNeck Geeks is on the clock.

[bigmash33]

I'm in a wedding today so in very unlikely I can get on to pick if it gets to 2.05. I will be back tomorrow. Just wanted to give the heads up.

[Burt the Butcher]

Thanks for the heads up Scott. Enjoy.

[Burt the Butcher]

Clowns were traveling back from Cali...he said he should make his pick this afternoon - Enjoy the holiday today!

[Liquid Swords]

Today is a travel day for me. I will be flying out of Hawaii at 1:00pm (7:00pm ET) with a short layover in Phoenix before landing back in Indy at 6:00am ET.

[Burt the Butcher]

As Mike did in Frenzy draft tracker, I've added a summary by team at the bottom - I liked it in Frenzy...helps keep track of what each team is doing better...

Enjoy

[Bounty Hunter]

Thanks Burt, I like that feature.

[Bounty Hunter]

About time for someone to select a QB. In Frenzy 3 QBs came off the board in 3rd round.

Johnny "Freakin Football" Manziel is still in the green room!! And whoever selects him needs to post good pics. Check out Frenzy pick 2.01. Well worth the time to see pics and read the comments.

Bobby....you stepped on my touchdown call....
