Where is Perch?
Both drafts are crawling.
I just got home from a week vacation and didn't realize that we started either. Can't log into the site. Beaumont, can you pm me a new password?
Thanks.

I sent him a text message, missing your 1st pick in a 16 team league would sucketh.
Do we keep picking if someone misses their pick or does Beaumont pick for them?

Keep going, they can make it up at any time ...
I'm here, I'm here... I am on 26k dialup, give me a few minutes to get my pick in please.
Wow, I wasn't that late! Cool, I figured I got skipped. I completely forgot about this silly draft yesterday, but I didn't forget to get trashed!

I like Brady at 1.06, Beaumont. I think there's a real drop off after the first 5 RBs and Brady gives you primo production and consistency.
In other words, I wish he had fallen to me at 1.10.
At 1.03 left with Addai, Westy & Sjax
Sjax holdout scares me
Westy's knees scare me
Safe bet was Addai
With 16 teams, who wouldn't want a 35 year old WR as their #1 pick?

I like Brady a whole lot better at 1.12

Yeah - there have been some real differences in the first round between houses.

Playing it safe in a 16 team draft is a recipe for failure.
full disclosure: i forgot i was even in this league until a couple hours ago, when bushwacked PM'd me to say it was my turn to draft.

I'm a night huddler now but I will preselect to the best of my ability.
What's the timer set at?
Like Jamal Lewis there at 1.14.

I'm finding pre-selection tough past the next round - the 16 team format, slow pace and different owner strategy is throwing off my draft mojo.
I believe the time limit is 16 hours.
Lewis was a good choice there - one of the few RBs left that carry the load for his team. There were more explosive guys on the board, but I'm guessing they'll be sharing a lot of carries in muddled backfields.

I should have an easier time with the 14th as far as being able to get two preselects in. I will have to check in often leading up to those picks. This is my 3rddraft and I start another tomorrow so if I can check-in, I will at least every 12 hours.
1.14 on the clock. At 1.16 I'm looking at Larry Johnson with Wayne to follow at 2.1. I'll get at least one.
Pick 1.14 Johnson
Pick 1.15 Wayne
So its Jacobs and A. Johnson. Not an auspicious start.
4 QBs off the board by 2.07 in the house! I would not have guessed that.
I was extremely tempted to take Romo at 2:9 but after takign WR in round 1 I had to take a RB here. Looks like another year of underperforming QB for the Commander.

I don't think I can preselect this far out. I will try and check in before going to work but it'll probably be tomorrow night. Feel free to call my cell if it gets to me before then.

Me too. I went Edwards in round one and with MJD sat there at 2.02, it was a no-brainer.
Sitting at 2.14 and watching my 3 top choices go off the board - AJ, Graham & TJ - left me with a S Holmes
Was happy to see my next choice still there at 3.03 - Turner the Burner :happydance:
hmmm, two of my first three picks are Rams. This does not bode well.

At least you're guaranteed a spot in the House next year.
Wow, I got santonio holmes at 3.11, I was targeting M.Turner or T.Jones but they went 3.05 and 3.07
when I wore my first dressing Brewer. That's the second time monster truck aficionado.

I agree, I'll put you in the 'suck bigtime' catagory.
Marshawn lynch? Greg jennings?
I like my start Wayne, Bush, S. Smith; which means I will probably suck bigtime.

You're just blinded by your suck ass team. I will rule the Rep. Senate once again and lose in the Superbowl for the 3rd year running.

I'll comment on the House draft...
Some of y'all are 'over-paying' way too much for those rookie RBs. I'm also surprised to see some TEs getting picked already.

Grabbed Whitten as the best receiver on the board at the time. Dunno why the others are going.
I think I WAYYY overpaid for Big Ben. Thought I would have scrub QBs by the time the next swing rolled around, but only two more QBs went in the next 32 picks.
Man, what a stupid drunk preselect I made last night.

When you're picking the 14th QB what difference does it make? Gotta try to get a difference maker somewhere else.

I took Witten at 3.01. Just you wait, newbie. By week 7 TEs are, well, tight.

Unfortunately for me, I always do well in the beginning of the season to the point where I don't have a chance at some good meat on the waiver wire...then my players get injured and there is noone worth getting.
