Now it's boston22407's turn.

[TheKilo]

First five picks went exactly as expected for me. Here's where it gets interesting, as ive thought all along that #6 would be the first non-QB taken

You expected Rivers to be the first pick?

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Rivers shouldn't have been picked first. I figured he would be good 3 or 5 years from now so i picked him. I'm content with my pick.

[italstallianion]

I'm not saying that Rivers was a bad pick, and I'm certainly not arguing that he's a bad player. I'm just saying that I was not expecting him to go first overall, and I wouldn't have expected him to be picked at this point either.

 

With that said, I thought about giving into the homer temptations (especially if you picked who I assumed you were going to pick), but I didn't deem it a wise strategy, especially for me.

 

I tried to be vague enough whereby I wouldn't reveal names of players who weren't drafted yet.

[Cocos Disciples]

I'm very curious to see what happens with the next few picks and what positions people consider most important.

 

Translation: I have absolutely no idea who to pick.

[TheKilo]

You expected Rivers to be the first pick?

 

 

No, but I did expect the first five picks to be a combo of Rivers, Manning, Brady, Brees, and Rodgers.

[italstallianion]

I originally expected the first 5 picks to be RB (with one of them potentially being a QB, since Brady would go quickly on this forum), but when RSFFL took Rivers, I felt that I needed to take one of the QB's.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I was thinking of taking a RB. I just choose to get a QB first.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Rivers should have been the 4th QB taken imo.

[Divinity]

Rivers should have been the 4th QB taken imo.

 

I agree, he's not better then Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Drew Brees. Even Aaron Rodgers will probably put up better stats.

I agree as well, but I wanted to save that for a different discussion.

[Divinity]

I'd like to join if thats okay, you can put me at the bottom of the list.

[italstallianion]

That'd make 15 teams...

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Is there a limit? I don't mind as long as everyone speeds up with these damn draft picks.

 

@Whiskey:You're right. I know he idn't the best player to draft first but hey it is what is it.

My point was that with 15 teams, it'd be an odd number, which would present difficulties when it comes to the voting. (someone would have to have a bye)

 

And to your other point, I agree, as the baseball redraft probably would have been in the 2nd round by now. Granted, we had an 8 hour limit I think, but considering that the draft started yesterday, (and only 5 players have been chosen) you'd think that people would be online and have their picks ready.

[Divinity]

Could give the top seed a bye imo, plus who knows if all teams will still be active at the end.

Your right I guess. Just didn't want anyone to feel left out. He wanted to join a bit late so looks like he'll have to sit this one out.

[Divinity]

or could have the weakest team not make it, I wouldn't be surprised if youker20 drafts a horribly bad team again.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Haha no need to call him out there like that.

[italstallianion]

Not yet....

[italstallianion]

So does this mean that it'll be WhiskeyBreath's turn at 10:44 AM?

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Yeah, Yankees was last to pick at 2:34 pm meaning 12 hours would have passed and boston will be skipped. This thing really needs to get moving though.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Who should I pm my pick? I won't be back on till 5 pm or so.

[italstallianion]

I'll be available, although I do like to sleep in. I'll probably be online around 11, but you can't make your pick until 10:44 at the earliest, so it won't be a huge deal if I made your pick around that time.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Yeah, give it to Itallion. Here's here a good amount of time. I have school and won't be on til about 3pm.

[yrtb]

I think the best option if we have 15 teams is just let the #1 seed get a bye and do a 1 vs bye, 2 vs 15, 3 vs 14, and so on

 

Another option is cut the 3 worst teams, give the top 4 teams byes (do 5 v12, 6 v11, 7 v10, 8v9) to get it down to 8 teams, but I think the top version is the most efficient

[italstallianion]

With the pace at which these picks are going, we'll have a long time to figure this out.

[Youker20]

this is so damn slowwwwww, guy above me whose name i cant spell and my paste button is broke im sending you my picks so you can make them for me, thanks

[Youker20]

oh and can we pick rookies and players in college still
