He was the last true difference maker I saw at DE4. That's why I made the trade-up to grab him.

Had I not traded into that spot in the trade with Billay I think you'd have been ahead of me this round so once again, that deal paid off nicely for me.

So what if for future drafts, cuz this is just to help league, what if you kept the hour and no one could pick next until that hour was up. And you could have a set 8-12 time frame scheduled so that you knew exactly when it was your hour to pick and you could plan accordingly. I’m mean we’re all in a rush cuz we have no life, but really this is supposed to take a month. If it took 3 days, what would we do with all the extra time?

Just a thought

It seems like I'm the only one with the issue so I don't think it warrants making a big change.

BUT, I'm not going to deal with you guys bitching about me cancelling my auto draft in the hopes that I'll actually be able to make my pick, only to be stymied by early-AF pick times during the work week. If the software was predictive or fluid enough to understand my thoughts I'd be more inclined to set up the auto feature.

It took Pat Peterson for me with my first pick. Not ideal but OK, I can deal with that. Then it immediately turned around and picked another CB. A trash corner... come on lol

I hate to cite Madden so much because it's a shit game but their CPU drafing actually does a decent job. It would have picked another premium position after going CB with the 1st pick... whatevs. Just something cdcox could take a look at.

Just my two cents on the length of time between picks.

1. I spent a good hour and a half last night, sorting through players to get 20 on my draft board so I would be covered to make picks while I was at work. With 30 minute picks I would have needed many more players. I would honestly have a hard time keeping up.

2. What's the hurry? Drafting is an engaging part of the game. If we rush through it there will be longer gaps between game activity. I suggest adopting a mindset of savor the fun of carefully considering each pick.

Not to say improvements in notifying or timing couldn't be beneficial. I just am not in any kind of hurry to do all my picks in a few days.

I agree 100% with this post. You only draft like this once. It can take time and be meaningful. I’ve not had to auto pick, even while working. I like this format.

That's a really convincing argument. I actually think this is the most fun part of the game.

I've got 7 players on my must-get list. I'm picking 21 spots from now. How many of those 7 will be on the board when I get to pick? I'm quivering with excitement.

TambaBerry 03-01-2019 06:54 PM

I'm Sugarland Headhunters if someone wants to trade down let me know

If it's anything like my draft board has been, zero.

Titty Meat 03-01-2019 07:39 PM

I'm tryna move up a few spots

CoMoChief 03-01-2019 08:18 PM

2nd god damn time ****ass from Lawrence took my pick right before my selection.

Next time he's gonna get a knockin on his front door lol.

Titty Meat 03-01-2019 08:23 PM

2 stud corners an elite defensive tackle paired with Ngata nobody is gonna run up the middle on us. Enjoy our 10-6 games DJ

CoMoChief 03-01-2019 08:45 PM

The ones who got solid starters from initial auto fill are going to benefit the most. I didn't get one starter, or any role players worth a shit. Others are getting players like Talib, Dee Ford. How's that even remotely fair?

****in bullshit. Yes I'm bitter as **** about it. I didn't get jack shit.

Blaine Gabbert
Vinny Curry
Jordan Reed
Chance Warmack
84 yr old Brandon ****ing Marshall.


**** that shit man.

Dude me too man, I don't even know how a guy like Dee Ford is not in the main draft

Titty Meat 03-01-2019 09:06 PM

Ford was a 100% mistake on my part. I think I came up with a decent formula for sorting out the stars, but a few gems like Bosa (injured most of the year) slipped through. I don't think I got anything other than a role player in my draft.
