Logan D. Hurricanes Posted August 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 So we're going to lose either Old Man or Tribble, which is always going to be the case. I can move to earlier on a weekend, but that's really the only alternative I see. Nobody stated a problem with the weeknight idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 There's also the possibility that I will have to use the toilet at 2am anyway. Just keep that in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted August 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 With apologies to the Tribble, this a reminder that tomorrow night is the draft. If it's any consolation, DT, I'm sure there will be Vikings available. If it's any other consolation, I'm going to miss my other league's draft for a business trip ?

Cancer Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Among the stuff on my agenda today is figure out what I'm gonna do, complicated by the dental procedure I am having done beginning three hours before our draft starts.

Cancer Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Y'know, I have no idea how this draft thing is supposed to work. The mechanics of it, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlord Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Snake draft (draft order is reversed every round - the last person that drafts in a round then they draft first the next); randomly chosen draft position; make sure you at least have enough players to fill every starting position by the end of the draft; realistically you only need 1 tight end, 1 Defense and 1 kicker since you can fill the backup for the those positions the week of their bye. Beyond that you have to find your own draft style. Personally I like to get my starting QB and best RB and WR each in the first 3 rounds and then fill in with RBs and WRs, but some like to load up with RBs in the beginning. PS - If you draft a backup kicker you'll be voted out of the league and be derided endlessly here on the boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 So if I'm in the league's draft web page during the real-time draft thing, I try typing in names of whom I want when it's my turn, once per round? (Just back from of my pre-med committee meeting.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlord Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 There should be a link that opens 10-15 mins before start time that takes you to another page where you can click on the player you want and you can also shuffle through lists of the players you might be thinking of getting next.

Old Man Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 If you have a spare 30 minutes, it might be a good idea to do a mock draft, which is the same as an actual draft but the team you wind up with just isn't saved. 1. Go here 2. Select any draft that isn't an auction draft. (City names are entirely irrelevant.) If it says "join next available similar draft", do that 3. You might have to wait like ten minutes before you can click start 4. The draft screen: 5. You're choosing players out of the middle by clicking "draft". When it's not your turn those "draft" buttons will say "queue", which will mark them and put them in the upper left corner so you can find them easily when it is your turn. 6. Don't pick the players I want. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 I'll try those. I'm at home right now, having my last meal (and toothbrushing) before I go off to the Marathon Man antagonist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grailknight Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Draft starts in one hour. I have been cursed with 1st pick. David Johnson can't get hurt two years in a row.(can he?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Tribbles look much stronger than what I got, but I didn't dare draft more Seahawks due to the All I Touch Turns To Dreck effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Yes, Tribble came out well, though he probably didn't get as many Vikings as he would have wanted. I was having an okay draft up until about Round 5, and then somehow I was behind and scrambling. I made some panicky decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan D. Hurricanes Posted August 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Tribbles do look pretty good, I didn't realize. Geez, let's hear it for auto drafting. The B-Holes look okay too, at least they have several that were on my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Woo, that's the B-Holes' cheerleader squad: the B-Girls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
