What time are we starting tomorrow? And how long for each pick?
What time are we starting tomorrow? And how long for each pick?
Officially it's 8 hours per pick but that's mainly to account for people sleeping/working. I'm hoping it'll move much faster. We did 12 hours in my other league and got through 45 picks or so in 2 days.
It'll obviously shorten if people are moving too slowly.
Taywan Taylor was selected.
@Gray Fox kick us off whenever you’re on and then tag the next man up. Once we get to Thommo tag me so I can inform the non TTH guys.
Are you going to pick in the spirit of Pleb?
Is it 10pm this Sunday?
I'm a twit
8pm I believe.
That’s good. I’ll be in a pub but with a mate who’s into NFL so can get away with joining in, at least for the first ten rounds or so. Hopefully the mobile interface is decent. Shame I won’t be able to have my spreadsheet with me - I fear switching between apps will kick me out and I’ll miss a turn.
Is everyone else planning on joining in live?
I'm a twit
So I've looked at the autodraft list.... it's not too terrible, but I make no apologies if you miss your pick and end up with a second DST/Kicker. There are quite a few ranked fairly high on the list. Easiest way to avoid it is to pick on time, or send me a list to draft from if you want me to autodraft.
Oh- I'm also going to exclude DeMarco Murray (and any other retired players if I come across them), even though he would be the 1st choice, for some reason.
Plebs pick is very pleb like if it happens.

We are about half way through @Gray Fox ‘s time. Great start this.
I hope Mahow and Thommo have their picks lined up.
We’ve got nine rounds of this, right?
Indeed. Time will be cut down fairly rapidly at this rate. We've got 2 people (at least) auto picking so those should be fast, but yea...
In the interest of speeding this shit up, just autodraft my picks @Browning and leave the QBs out obvs.
Damn it, your pick was genuinely Tyrod Taylor
But I'll exclude QBs for you in that case.
Amazing
I hit my QB quota last night didn't I?

One way or another @Sir Andy Mahowry is on the clock in 4 minutes.
Shit, Mahow was before Pleb?
Well, if he wants Beasley..... I'll have to redo Pleb's pick.
@Pleb, you did, but you're technically still allowed Tyrod because he plays for the same team as Baker, and the limit is on teams that your QBs play for.
Sure in that case then I'll take Taylor
Alright, I'll change your pick to Tyrod once Mahow picks, assuming he doesn't want Tyrod.
Unless you're joking, in which case... make it known.
You can pick whoever the fuck you want to be fair, at least you're here to pick them.
Stick with Tyrod please if Mahow doesn't pick him.
This made me lol: "Despite drawing the No. 4 overall pick, The Pleb Dream drafted a roster that will struggle to earn wins. Opponents are likely to enjoy defeating them on a weekly basis, as this team is projected to finish 11th in 12 Team Dynasty. The Pleb Dream are predicted to have a record of 1-12 (2,173 points)."
El Plebbo confirmed.
Mayfield's pick summed up perfectly: "You know when they ask at airport security if your bags have been with you at all times? We have the same question about your draft. Or at least we're questioning why you would select Mayfield in the 3rd round, about seven rounds earlier than his ADP of 117. You may be onto something, though. Mayfield is projected to score 141 fantasy points this season with the Browns. But do you really need so many QBs? After all, you can only start one per week. Mayfield will slot in as the No. 3 QB for The Pleb Dream, according to projected points."
Amazing

After this round I’m going to shorten the pick time to 6 hours and maybe further from there. This isn’t working...
I'll take TY Montgomery please.
@thommo is up
Sam Darnold please.
Whatever this is that's happening now is for some other league and I can ignore, right? It looks a right faff.
Indeed, and it is. We should have just done an extra hour last night.
The guy who is up now has been in contact with me all day so I can't imagine his pick will take long, and the next 2 have given me their choices, so we'll motor through those 3. Be ready Dan. I'm going to suggest people send me picks once my picks are out the way because it's unlikely I'm going to be able to snipe you with 24 picks until I go again. Obviously, if you don't want to, you don't have to, but if you're likely to miss the 6 hour deadline otherwise, it would be a good idea.
Me, Sam and Rich (Fay) should move quickly too so it's possible it could even come back to Dan fast, I just need Zach to make his pick.
As promised those 3 picks are in so @Dan is on the clock.
Blimey, that moved fast I'll have a quick look at the list.
That QB run has fucked me. Guess I'll take Peyton Barber to make my RoJo pick look even worse @Browning

Almost back to @Dan, just one more pick.
How many until it's my pick? Roughly how many hours?
I honestly can't believe what I'm about to do.
It better not be what I'm thinking.
If it is it'll make it completely worth it.
Dan was 9th and you were 3rd Mahow, so there's 7 picks ahead of you. The Discord lot seem to be quicker/auto picking so.... it shouldn't be too long, pending Thommo and Pleb getting their picks in.
I really didn't want Winston, but I only realised today that Luck/Wentz share a bye week. I wanted Ben/Rivers but no luck. Oh well.
So many of the available starting QBs also shared that week.... so I had basically no choice.
Then a 2nd DST was a no brainer because you can't rely on the Ravens every week.
I should also point out that @Gray Fox is on auto draft until he actually shows up....
Wait I was told we'd use the offline draft thread on Yahoo? That's the only thing I've been checking and there's been no updates on it.
Had no idea we'd even started or I was on the clock.
Oops.
Did you not see the transactions going through?
I created the thread primarily for people who had no better way to contact me, but it's probably redundant. I don't get notified properly when people post there, so it's better to use this and Discord.
At least you only missed one pick, but we could have done without waiting 8 hours...
I had my app open on the offline draft page. When I hit a 4G pocket I'd refresh that page for risk of shit signal.
Still at least it was only my long wait I've missed and not 2 picks back to back. I was going to go for a kicker anyway so it's not worked out horrifically.
@Dan is up.
There is no way to properly express through text the complete emptiness with which I say this.
Toggle Spoiler
Okay, even I wasn't feeling that dirty.
But I have spotted who Fay took, the cunt.
I imagine Dan is currently showering away how dirty he feels.
@Browning when my pick comes up can you send me a message via the offline thread? Or I have Discord too if you want to message me on that. That should speed me right up through this.
I can do Discord if it helps too.
Mahow #5274
@thommo is on the clock.
