No real surprise, went with LT.
Help! Draft is out of control.... Something is set so the site is making picks every 3 minutes based on ADP ranking. Need to fix this and go back to pick 1.2....

Fixed. Well, it is back to 1.2. The timer was set to be off in the settings, so will be tinkering to figure out what happened and prevent it from happening again.

Are we going the slow draft route?

Sorry, tried texting kp and BC but both were out. JoJo apparently doesn't know how to use text messaging.

Sorry about the delay. I am in Charlotte and was out with a co-worker (and then PSULions!

).
I'm in a meeting all afternoon. I've preselected my next two picks. I'll check with the draft progress when I get out of the meeting around five.

5 leagues. I wanted Calvin Johnson in all of them. I got him in none.

Nice pick

I'm thinking yea.... No one ever got back to me on a day.
Yup... I drank the Peyton punch for the first time...
Then gambled on Marshall.

Nothing wrong with trying that strategy.

I like Marshall. You probably would not have gotten the player you want without gettinghim while he was there.
I'll be ablout the only person at the office today so call or email me when I'm up and we can keep the draft moving. Jut letmeknow who went since my Coles pick
I was hoping Marshall would fall to me... happy to get Boldin as my WR3, though.
I thought about taking Calvin in the 3rd, but thought it was just a tad too early. It seems like many of us were on the same page with him.... wanted him, hoped he fell to us in the 4th round, but not surprised that he didn't.

You guys are killing me...... Every WR I had targeted, gone. So now I'm thinking, well I will snag Winslow or Gates on the turn. Gone. I'm beginning to hate drafting from this position....

Yeah not much of a gamble now that he's only out for the first game.
I almost took him over Burress.
almost went with Chanbers over Maroney.
Not a big fan of that pick but thought it was well worth the risk of a 6th runder for him.
I don't think I have a Charger on any of my pay leagues.
Probably for the best. I can just root for the team instead of an individual player

Thanks for leaving Chambers for me.

I would have probably gone with Maroney over FWP had he been there. But then again, I would rather keep away from multiple Patriots (unless you're talking about Brady/Moss or Brady/Welker

).
Kinda liking this team so far. I've been trying to take players that I don't have in any of my other 15193859183591835 teams. Working out nicely so far.

It took me about 1/2 an hour to pull the trigger on Heap. I wanted to take Meachem but figured he'd be there at 7.05. I've got to run to the store real quick. I'll try and figure out what to do.
I've got my local draft tomorrow afternoon. I've preselected my next pick and will check in as often as I can.

Meachem is my man crush this year.... I managed to get him in every league but one this year.
Yeah, he seems to have really moved up the draft slot.
I think he's still listed as 3rd string on depth charts though
Guys, please try to speed up the draft.
If you can't make it to a computer for a couple of hours, please pre rank or notify the Druglords. Don't go MIA.
Not to toot my own horn but I did 75% of my draft thru internet on the cell phone. Yes, I'm that good
We have two days left before the season starts. Lets do this.

"So, with only 3 more picks to go it's looking like the Faultline League WILL be able to finish its draft. Congratulations, gentlemen!!"
"Done!!"
WE DID IT!!!!!!
Congrats guys and good luck this season.
