OSFL 2010 Draft Discussion

[Sully]

Hey Sully, I think you're on the clock. Less talky, more picky.

I have until 11am tomorrow. I'm not sure who I like at this point.

However, for fear that I ruin jwolf's experience here at SGN any further, I will force myself to make a decision.

Didn't the Jets take a FB in the first round one year?

I think it was a kicker.

[Z]

Didn't the Jets take a FB in the first round one year?

Not that I can remember.

I'm sure someone's taken a FB in the first round at some point, just as kickers have gone in the first round before as well. But those guys were huge prospects.

I'd like to make an important point.... it's the draft, people are bitching and Z started it.... it's starting to become a tradition.

[Lintyfresh85]

Sully is correct. He has till 11 a.m. to make his pick, and he has every right to take up till 10:59 a.m. to make it.

[Z]

I knew we were missing Clay and his snappy one-liners.

[Sully]

Sully is correct. He has till 11 a.m. to make his pick, and he has every right to take up till 10:59 a.m. to make it.

I wouldn't do that.

[Pat]

For the record, Punx signed on, added two players two his queue (he picks after Sully), set it draft once-auto, then left.

Money move.

[Clay]

On this note.... this is probably way too complicated, but what if for the first round we changed the four hour rule to be conditional.... meaning... each person's pick gets four hours. If they sign on to the boards or post, or say before hand that they might be working, or out with the family, or whatever, they get four hours. On the other hand, if two hours passes and they haven't been on the boards, or haven't posted, or haven't let anyone know before they pick that they might be somewhere else when their pick could come up, then we auto for them. Because I would say 99% of the time when someone is a no show for their first two hours on the clock, they're a noshow for the entire four. But this is my only league and only my second draft, so I could be wrong, I just get that feeling.

No way, no chance, no hell, no how... that's an absolutely out of the question thought... no offense... but there's no "could be"... you're wrong.

I think the shit hit the fan earlier than ever this year though. Nice work, everybody.

Next year I'm starting a huge argument within the first five picks. Usually once this has passed, the rest of the draft runs smoothly. So best to just get it out of the way early.

Devoted followers of the 2009 OSFL Draft have fondly termed this process "Pulling a Z".

I have to agree. Sometimes the draft FLIES by, and people come an hour or two into their pick, and are surprised how fast it moved.

Agreed. I don't like the idea of a conditional 4 hour rule at all. It's needs to be the same for everyone.

Also, for what it is worth, I would draft a FB in the 1st round, just not any of the FB's that are available in this draft. However, I have taken a stud FB in the 1st round before.

Anyway, I'm AFK a bit to play a game of NCAA (I'm back to playing NCAA 06 on my Xbox as 08 on the 360 has me too frustrated with turnovers to play any more.)

Didn't you make us wait multiple times? I don't think once qualifies as "pulling a Z".

Charlotte's up.

[Sully]

We are officially into the second round. 2 hour time limit, folks.
