wow i just tried a mock draft and it was depressing. And since there are no 14 team mock drafts i did a 12 and took position 10 and still it was depressing. Anybody else been playing with the mock draft? It's good even to just see what the draft board is going to look like on draft day and practice using the features.

I haven't prepared at all for tomorrow.

Posted: **Fri Sep 04, 2015 3:42 pm**

Rico, I have done very little prep because I'm also getting ready to go out of town. I think there are several of us in that boat.

Posted: **Sat Sep 05, 2015 12:08 pm**

Hope you fools are ready

Posted: **Sat Sep 05, 2015 12:11 pm**

I'm not!!!! But I figure I'm 12th so won't be in contention for anything anyway so why tie my stomach into knots - I say that but my stomach is in knots anyway.

Posted: **Sat Sep 05, 2015 1:23 pm**

I've done some preparation. So I'm going to finish in last place.

Posted: **Sat Sep 05, 2015 1:32 pm**

I've done absolutely no preparation, and I still know next to nothing about football.

I almost won my first time, and I only signed up to play because a group needed an even number, so I said, "What the hell, sure."

I changed the amount of teams that make the playoffs from 4 to 6, and the top two seeds get a Bye during the first round. This way everybody plays each other once during the regular season, then three weeks of playoffs.

Draft is today?! I thought voting ends tomorrow.

Posted: **Sat Sep 05, 2015 6:41 pm**

Look at the question we were voting on - it has the draft time in the question.

Posted: **Sat Sep 05, 2015 8:54 pm**

5 minutes until the draft, get in here y'all!

Posted: **Sat Sep 05, 2015 10:43 pm**

So I've never played with an IR slot before. How does that work? What injury status is required for a player to be stashed there, and can that player be pulled back out the moment they're healthy?

The team has to put him on IR and then you get an extra bench slot. You can reinstate him immediately but you'll have to drop someone.

Seriously? Aw man. Daisy and I met a couple of folks for dinner last night, and I thought I'd be around, but then they invited us over to play games, so I couldn't say no to that. Especially since my manual draft policy was going to be "pick the person with the coolest sounding name". :P

It worked! At least for Round 1. This guy's name is "Marshawn Lynch". Totally would have picked that because mafia. :P

Posted: **Sun Sep 06, 2015 11:30 am**

Dang it! It only worked for Round 1. All the other names are not cool. Except for maybe this guy "Nelson Agholor".

Posted: **Sun Sep 06, 2015 11:35 am**

Week 1...the two new guys face off.

Posted: **Sun Sep 06, 2015 12:05 pm**

Oh, that's true!

nah I wanted TE, then QB, got stolen my first TE pick, so picked QB, then TE, then focused on RB/WR

in a 14 team league, PPR, picking RBs round 1 is funny money.

TE's and QBs are pretty similar in that you can wait a few rounds to get either. For future reference :P

Posted: **Sun Sep 06, 2015 12:19 pm**

Unless you get first pick, then taking a top tier QB is ok. Not necessarily the best, but OK.

Eh, 0.5 per rec. That's not enough of an incentive to refrain from taking an elite RB.

I can imagine you going to check if we're PPR, finding out we are, smashing your keyboard around a bit, coming back, and trying to play it cool.

Nah- I looked over the score setup before signing up and didn't recall seeing anything that indicated PPR. It probably didn't register in my head because it's half a point.
