Completely understandable, MTR. I've found if most people are around, it takes less than an hour to draft. Hell, even with a few auto-picks, it'll take a minute for their first selection, then 5 seconds for each pick after. I think last year's was around 40 minutes, if even.

Snake Draft, so for even rounds, the order will flip. Good luck to everyone. I know I will be running a few mock drafts in my spot to prep. There is nobody in my office today...
Thanks man! I love drafting in the middle of each round much more than getting the back to back picks.
Thank the randomizer in the League Manager Settings.
I am a bit torn. I do like being in the middle, so there is an even pace to when you pick. But i do like doing back to back picks as well.
I like back to back picks better if I'm the last pick of the first round. First pick overall kind of sucks, to me, because I don't want to wait until the last pick of the 2nd round to pick again.
Ha! Clever.
I like picking at the ends of rounds more than in the middle. I like 2 fairly quick picks myself
So this is Monday 10pm UK time?

If anyone wants to join my league. Many sports open, hoping for a draft tomorrow but could be set a couple days later if need be.

A little over 24 hours until the draft. Good luck.
Joined.
Ready to rock and roll.
Is the pick in the draft room right now our actual pick?
I am ready.
Made it in to make my last pick.
Solid draft all around. Was hoping Julio Jones would fall to me in round one.

How does everyone feel about their teams?
I think I did ok. Other than drafting my defense when I didn't mean to.
The only mistake I made was drafting Brees when I meant to draft Rodgers. Otherwise I like my team.
And I'll always entertain trade offers. I know some guys who hate to trade and won't even listen to an offer. Always down to negotiate.

I like my team.
Drafting Fournette in Round 2 might have been an overreach, but I didn't want to be the guy who waited until Round 3 to draft an RB and I wasn't thrilled with the other options.
My WR could be spruced up so I will probably look around for an offer to get something good there.
I'm pretty happy with how things played out for me. I stuck to my plan pretty well and it'll pay off later
Good fun draft guys!!!
Question - do you have PPR scoring on because the projections seem very high for week 1.
Yeah, PPR does seem to be turned on.
Yeah, it was the default point system. I turned it off.
Gillislee is going to be that guy all season I'll never be able to start correctly. If I start him he'll gain 16 yards on 7 carries. If I don't start him he'll end up with 2 TDs and 110 yards.
He's a Patriots running back, that's how it works
If you're that concerned I'll be more than happy to take him off your hands.
Oh I know. Seems like every year though there's 1 guy I never play correctly.
Make me an offer.
I will definetly send an offer for him. Hill finally broke a 75 yard TD. Was getting worried
KAREEM MOTHERFUCKING HUNT!
Yeah, a host on our local sports talk radio was raving about Kareem Hunt, and really wanted to take Hunt. He looked incredible last night. Also, Hill balances out the Chiefs defense for me this week.
Oh, I was super pleased with Brady's 10 points this week. Thanks @fro
I take back what I said about overdrafting Leonard Fournette. Very impressive.
So far the top two RB are busts. I feel bad for David getting hurt though. Going to their game in Indy next week
Who is British Strong Styles?
*raises hand*
That's me.
Very pleased with my week 1 performance here, especially with #1 draft pick not playing.
Mine only good bloody hurt within like the first 10 minutes or some shit.
My team is in dire straights. Need OBJ to play next week, since I benched him this week.
It looks like he will
IF ANYONE NEEDS A RB, PLEASE LOOK AT MY TEAM. I'M DEEP AT POSITION AND WILLING TO TRADE ANY OF THEM FOR A WR.
What's your team name?
Stupid Idiot.
Dude I was just asking. Chill. No need for name calling.
Just kidding. I'll take a look and see if there's anybody that interests me.
Sent you an email through the league.
I don't see it.
I resent it as a PM on here.
just missed the chance to trade. dang. I'm looking for running backs, feel free to throw an offer or PM my way. Most of my team is available.
Glance at my team if you want. I'm willing to wheel and deal.
Nice doing business with you Big Ale.
Just out of curiosity, for the league manager, why will the trade that Big Ale and I just executed take until September 26 to process? That is almost a week from today. I've seen some leagues take 2-3 days to process a trade, but never 6 days. Is this an error with the way the league settings were established?
It's because the trade review period is 2 days and Hyde plays tomorrow night. Once a player plays his game he's locked for the week, which ends on Monday night after the MNF game. No trades can process until a player isn't locked any longer.
Unless the league manager wants to go ahead an approve the trade, which would be great.
Yeah, I mean, I am cool with it. I would love to have the new players.
Unless someone comes in here in the next 6-8 hours and throws a fit about the trade, I don't see an issue with pushing it through.
I would be fine for it being pushed through.
I've got no problem with that.
My rule going forward is that if two people agree to a trade, we won't need to vote on it. I'm just going to approve all trades.
Any objections?
Also, I've changed it from 48 hours to 24 hours.
Works for me. I've always been under the assumption that if 2 people feel it makes their team better, why not allow them to do it? As long as it's not Le'veon Bell for Jets Defense, I think we're good.
I just sent a trade offer to Pere Cheney Cheneyites.
Please let me know if interest. I can see you're struggling at the RB position.
Hyde already paying dividends for me. Thanks, HB. And thank god I had the foresight to grab his backup as soon as the trade was agreed on.
Glad I could be of service.
I feel bad for whoever had the Ravens' D.
Ouch
Kareem Hunt is a monster
Things are not going great for the watchers on the wall this year. OBJ out the first two weeks hurt, then Reed announced as out when it was too late for me to get another TE was brutal. Also, I benched Murray, so of course he ran scorched earth against Seattle. Going to be a rough season.
Need a second opinion on something because it seems too good to be true. In my PPR league I was offered this trade:
Give up:
Jags D
Jamison Crowder
Get:
Randall Cobb
Emmanuel Sanders
Eagles D
My QB is Rodgers and I also have Davante Adams as my other WR starter, so Cobb would be a great replacement for him. Sanders would do well to replace Crowder.
Am I missing something on this trade? Seems like he's giving up a lot and not getting much in return.
Sanders had 15 targets last week and only plays 1 more top 10 pass defense the rest of the year.
Cobb has a tough schedule, but is Aaron's #2 with Adams out and a great PPR choice.
The Jaguars play some really shit offenses and have an easy schedule, so it's possible he wants a top 5 defense. If that's the case, and he likes Crowder, maybe that's why he is offering it. Other than that, I have no clue why you would NOT accept it. Sanders and Cobb are fantastic additions to any team, especially PPR.
Yeah that's kind of what I figured. And he doesn't even want Adams! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something and was about to get swindled. Thanks dude.
My team might be done. Hard to come back from 0-4. Looking for running backs, now that Cook is done. Dez Bryant, Tyreek Hill, Matt Ryan, and Jordan Reed are available.
To make things worse, put Big Ben in with Matt Ryan on a bye. 5 picks.
And now OBJ out with an ankle injury.
I need running backs as well. Just take a look
I'm glad I picked Devin Funchess up
In a miraculous turn of events, my team wins by 1 point.
You can thank Parker or Ebron for that W, since they put up goose eggs! Haha
Really should not be close with Big Ben throwing 5 picks.
Speaking of Big Ben and his five picks, I had the Jags defense on my bench in two of my leagues. I sat them to play the Vikings defense tonight. I mean I know it was the right call because there's always that chance that Ben goes off for 350 yards, 3 TDs, and Bell adds another TD and 150 yards on the ground, but damn. Hurts to see all those points on my bench.
Watson saved my ass this week
Anybody interested in Alex Smith? #1 overall QB in our league at the moment.
Oh good, so my 1-4 squad gets to face him (vs the browns) and gurley/bell. Congrats in advance.
I destroyed Sikeston Rebels in week 5.
To be fair, I wouldn’t have won without Watson’s performance.
Five TDs two weeks in a row is very impressive, especially for a rookie.
I loved Watson's hustle and scoring that final touchdown, even though the Texans were already screwed. I think the Texans have done good with him.
Agreed. It just sucks that Watt and Mercilus got hurt. Watt should already be a finalist for the Walter Payton award for all he’s done for Houston.
The dream continues
Yeah, you have a 60 point lead. The OBJ injury really cemented my first sub .500 fantasy season in years. At least I'll have a good shot of adding AP again...
Thankfully I decided to wait until after the Packers' bye week before trying to trade Cam Newton
In the last two days, in one of my leagues, I've traded away:
Rivers
Ivory
Roger Lewis (NYG WR)
Alvin Kamara
Martellus Bennett
and received back:
Alex Smith
Travis Kelce
Jordy Nelson
Amir Abdullah
Amari Cooper
Nelson is a bit of a risk considering I lost Rodgers as my QB, but it's fine. He's a good fill in. Cooper is a throwaway essentially, if he takes off, great but I expect nothing out of him. I'd say I did alright for myself.
The Byes for this week are a bit rough for me.
I will never bench you again Watson
My bench has all the points today
Nothing to see here
I don't know who Scouse Dolphins is but congrats on your 2 point victory over me. I was out on Thursday night and didn't realize that Benjamin wasn't playing until I got home halfway into the 2nd quarter and obviously couldn't swap him out. Hate when that kind of thing happens.
If anyone wants Joe Mixon, Doug Martin or Christian McCafftey, I'm all ears. Offer me something.
Now that's what I like to see from Julio Jones!
Best of luck to those up for the title. My team shat the bed this year, with a majority of my none Matt Ryan/Jordan Reed starters ended up on IR...
I love Todd Gurley
I am hoping I can come back in the second week like I did in the semi-finals except not come up a point short.
