2038 Draft

[PikeStance]

I was under the impression if you were not registered you would not show up on the draft page.
If I had to register and if I didn't, how would the system now it is me. If I was not registered, how would it know I am still the GM since Hooper reset everything. Knowing that, right or wrong, it is logical to assume if I see names in every slot that has a GM, then each on of those GMs are registered.

[Hooper]

Nope. The registration resets, but the names remain. I go though each season and make sure they are correct. That way it's easier for me, other draft admins and other owners to see who runs each team. Only admins can see who registered though.

[Hooper]

We're down to 1 unregistered owner. I just PM'ed him.

luis and Budda didn't answer roll call either. I was just giving them until the draft.

[Hooper]

I started the draft rather than wake up at 8am. The first 6 picks aren't on auto, so it shouldn't matter.

[Steel]

Ohhh. I guess I can pick.

[zbuckley]

I'd like to move down but if by 11am est I don't have any offers i'll take the QB

[Hooper]

Sorry for the rollback. I hate them. A certain owner couldn't login, so I reset his password. In hindsight, I should have stopped the draft prior to doing so. When I reset it, the default is 0% of an owner's time. So the pick fired.

[PikeStance]

Tough break settling on a potentially franchise QB.

[zbuckley]

Tough break settling on a potentially franchise QB.

I'm surprised nobody wanted to move up for him.

[Rawrster]

Picks 1.2-1.5 all went up on the Block. I think that says something about the top of this draft.

[Steel]

Picks 1.2-1.5 all went up on the Block. I think that says something about the top of this draft.

There are several players who will end up being studs, but this draft is so deep, that there really isn't any point in moving up. You can find an impact player late in round 1, and even in round 2.

[Slimmikey]

Pretty shocked the top TE lasted till 1.27. I almost picked him at 1.10, but OLB was a huge need for me. Perhaps he is really not that good and I made a big mistake.

[PikeStance]

If TE was a position of need for me, I might had considered. For the moment, I have bigger holes to fill.

This is for my reference later: this is the story about how either I landed my next franchise QB or spent 20 hours stressing over a third-string QB. Yesterday afternoon I saw my pick coming up and knew the time wouldn't run out until the morning, so I turned off my autopick, looked at my draft list, and saw that QB Tom Udeze was at the top of positions of need. I wasn't sure about his distance bars though and thought it was a little early for him, so I started fiddling with the weights in Draft Analyzer to better reflect recent research on FOFC and my own preferences. But no matter what I did short of making all positions equal or discounting the combine entirely, Udeze was the clear #1. I took a walk to the park with my daughter to think about it, but I made a clear decision: he was my pick. I started getting excited about having a mentor on the team to guide us for Udeze's rookie year on the bench.

I sat down to finally make my pick...and saw that I had forgotten to save the options when I turned off autopick! The game took T Amos Porter, who was high on my list but had some red flags and I had already taken an OL in the first round (this will be funny to read in a few seasons if Porter is my starting stud C and Udeze is a scrub). I was so pissed at myself! He had been talked up so muchI started firing off PMs to owners who had picks up next, got some interest from zbuckley and another team with a later pick, but had to wait on some other teams to pick overnight.

The next morning, I got up with an hour and a half left on zbuckley's clock. I go to respond to his PM...and his mailbox is full! At this point I think that fate does not want me to have this QB. But luckily during the draft zbuckley is on the forum like 24 hours a day, so we get it worked out with 45 minutes to go and I have my QB.

So, bottom line, can someone tell me they were looking at taking Udeze in the third round so I don't get upset thinking he would be around for my pick at 3.27?
