Quick heads up. You guys need to pick up the pace. I target a 4 week completion time for these drafts with a max of 5 weeks. This draft is behind the 5 week pace. I'll revisit this next Monday and adjust the clock as need to get get this draft back on pace.
For example, how does a guy in Shadowfox who knows he would be up by morning not check in by now? I'm calling everyone in this league out, you all are so dang slow its pathetic. Have done a bunch of these and have never seen one this slow. You all should be ashamed to sign up for something and treat it with total disrespect like the league revolves around you. Want me to stop complaining pick up the pace, if the pace does not pick up then I will not shut up and you will have to put me on ignore because I will cry whine and complain until it picks up not to mention fill your in box until you get the clue.
You made a pick at 3:30 in the morning PST. You EST people need to chill. You don't see me #####ing about lack of picks after 6pm PST. Or do you want me to point out your first pick took over 10 hours? I've been doing these drafts for 8 years before you even joined this board, so let me offer some advice...relax. It's a slow message board draft for a league that won't even start for another 7 months. Everyone knows to check in as much as they can but sometimes things do come up and parts of the draft drag a bit. But other rounds will pick up. It's going to take about 4 weeks and it'll get done. So stop complaining and try and enjoy it. If not, then maybe these drafts aren't for you.

I do not see Turner in Atl next season. His productivity dropped this year and he is on the wrong side of 30. Tie that in with a more pass based offense and the retirement of Gonzalas, there are a bunch of carries and receptions to be had in Atlanta. I envision Sproles type stats.
hmmmmm...ok....thats quite a jump in production if we are looking at Sproles as a comparision...based on last year in this format, that would mean Quizz would have to double his avg weekly production....Sproles was a little over 16 and Quizz a little over 8 PPG....(and Sproles missed 3 games)not sure ATL goes into the season with just Quizz/Snelling....so while there may be a slight increase if Turner leaves....if ATL brings somebody else in (say Steven Jackson/Benson/Bradshaw type)...then I think Quizz will have a difficult time doubling his PPG avg and jumping into that Sproles type area....we'll see
 
1.06 - Marshawn Lynch RB62.11 - Maurice Jones-Drew RB133.06 - Percy Harvin WR11 4.11 - Steve Smith WR22I was really happy with my first three picks. I'm pretty conservative with my first round picks, and generally don't go QB or WR unless I feel it's a huge gap (I was one of the guys who was willing to take Mathews over Rodgers or Megatron last year, pre collarbone), so Lynch was a pretty easy decision for me. I debated between MJD and Roddy in the 2nd. Roddy was probably the safer overall choice, but I didn't trust myself to pick a good value RB in the mid-rounds, so I went with someone I felt comfortable would hold his draft position. I thought going conservative RB-RB to start off would hurt me, but getting Harvin in the 3rd made everything okay. Felt I had a really solid foundation, with some upside in MJD and Harvin. Really unhappy with Smith in the 4th. I was planning on going QB, hoping for Wilson or Luck, with RG3 as a highupside backup plan. Unfortunately, the QB run ended just before it got back to me, and my QB wish list was depleted well before it got back to me. If Wayne had just lasted 2 more picks, then I would have loved my team. The dumb thing about the Smith pick is I really thought on it for a long time, and ended up making a decision that I'm not sure makes sense. I wanted a high upside guy to go with my solid foundation, but not sure how much upside he has in this offense. Plus, he's turning 33 this year, not a good sign for a guy who relies on his speed to make plays. In hindsight, the right play probably would have been Jennings, but I was too conservative to go with a guy whose future is that uncertain at this point.

Looks like we started off the same, Lynch/MJD. I didn't have the Harvin option but would have taken him in the 3rd. I agree with you about Smitty. I suspect we'll see a decline this year unless the Panthers can get a reliable deep threat across from him. I think you would have been better served with Bowe or Antonio Brown in the 4th. You'll have a very competitive team unless you get caught on the wrong side of a QB/TE run.
 
4.03 Russell Wilson1.13 Trent Richardson3.13 Larry Fitzgerald2.03 Aaron HernandezWas really hoping that Jimmy or Gronk would fall to me in round 1, but wasn't really expecting it. Was happy to see Richardson still on the board. I like his ability to be the "man" in Cleveland and with Norv being his new offensive coordinator I think he can do special things. Even though Norv isn't a good head coach he has proven to be able to have a stud offense when he is the coordinator. Debated Rodgers and J Charles here also, but it wasn't a hard decision.Went with Hernandez in round 2 so I was still able to lay claim to a top TE and Brady and Belichek seem to be constantly finding ways to get the ball in his hands and he continues to make plays. With what seems to be regularly occurring injuries to Gronk, Hernandez should continue producing TE1 numbers. Witten was the only other consideration here as I wanted a top 4 TE going into this thing.Fitz at 3.13 was a surprise and I couldn't pass him up here. Even with a horrible QB he put up respectable numbers and that situation can't get any worse next year, right?? He still is one of the top 3-4 WR's in the game and I feel will have a better QB throwing the ball to him in 2013. Would have preferred taking Crabtree here, but he was snagged one pick before.Went with my QB here in the 4th because I figured the drop off to the next tier was fairly steep. Was actually wanting Luck or Romo, but they were taken off the board a few picks before. I think Wilson will have a huge progression in his improvement now that he has become more accustomed to the NFL and proved he belongs. Considered RGIII here, but I think defenses will adjust to him more and is the most likely young QB to have a sophomore slump next year as teams adjust to his style and the injury factor is a major concern of when he will be back on the field.Overall, I like the start of this team. Solid foundation with all but Fitz in excellent situations. I feel WR is the position that is more likely to be easier to fill with solid depth than any other so I am less concerned with that than I would be at other skill positions.

 
3.07 QB - Matthew Stafford (Det)1.07 RB - CJ Spiller (Buf)4.10 RB - Jacquizz Rodgers (Atl)5.07 RB - Vick Ballard (Ind)2.10 TE - Jason Witten (Dal)Overall, as the draft has been going I am liking my team. I managed a top 5 RB in CJ and a top 3 TE in Witten. I thought being able to grab a 5,000yrd passer in Stafford with my 3rd pick was a very lucky bonus on top of that. Detroit had a tough schedule this year vs the pass and their RB and WR corp was a mess along with their OL. Giving them another year to strengthen their OL in the draft I can see the numbers from a couple years ago. Besides, the #1 WR off all the boards was Calvin Johnson so what better QB to have than the one throwing to him. The WRs left are all a dime a dozen it seems, at least none I'm excited about, so I figured to keep on the RB track while there was still water in that well in the 4th and 5th, snagging the guys I figure will be the main cow bells in Atlanta and Indy next year.As with most drafts the next 6-10 are the money rounds. It will be interesting to see how they roll out during this weekend.

I really like this team. Haven't looked at the rest, but this would be one of my early leaders. TRich was a bargain that late in round one. Hernadez a solid pick. Fitz is slipping too far in these drafts and Wilson is a solid pick 4.3. Seems like you got one of the last guys in their tier at every pick.

As much as I like bro1ncos' draft, I don't like yours. I must have missed FJax's obituary and Buffalo finding a QB to lead that offense. I like the Witten and Stafford picks. Rodgers is the only guy I ever remember being over hyped one year, turn out to be a bust, and then getted hyped even harder the next year. Danny freaking Woodhead playing behind Ridley outproduced Rodgers. Ballard :yawn: Might pan out but 6 other backs drafted after him will outproduce him.
 
3.01 QB Cam Newton5.01 QB Eli Manning1.01 RB Adrian Peterson2.16 RB Darren McFadden4.16 WR Stevie JohnsonADP - I can’t fault anyone going with Foster as #1 but ADP was a no brainer for me. A little regression to the mean is expected but still a great player to start the draft.McFadden - I don’t remember the last time I started RB/RB but took the chance McFadden and the Raiders rushing game comes back now that Knapp is gone. Now he just needs to stay healthy. Thought about Sproles here. Newton - First tough decision for round 3 – QB or WR. Decided on Cam, as I was imagining a good QB run and felt the drop off greater there than WR. Besides, I was comfortable with the next 15 or so WRs. Little did I know 18 WRs would be gone before I picked again. Really wanted 2 of Garcon, Brown, Austin, Jennings, Wayne….and thought that was very doable, so Cam was the choice. Looking back now….with Eli and Ben available, I would have gone WR with this pick instead of Cam, most likely Cruz or VJackson.Johnson - Needed a WR and Stevie was the next best for me. He’s not one to put up 20+ point weeks, which I usually prefer in my top WR or two, but should be a solid 13-15 ppg on average. Got him at WR27 and he finished WR18 (and WR16 2 years ago) so could be a little value here. Eli - My 5th round was the second tough decision. TE wasn’t an option. Do I follow the trend and draft my WR2 after 20 have just gone? Draft RB3? Draft 2 QBs with my first 5 picks? Already behind with the WR position but I think I can fill this in adequately throughout the rest of the draft. Tempted to go with RB and possibly be done with the position. I ended up going BPA and the position that scores the most. Both Cam and Eli have the potential to put up 35-40+ points any week, which can single handedly help you survive. Going with 2 QBs this early does concern me a little but hopefully it works out ok…but it’s going to be hard on the end because nobody is going to slide that far. So time to drafting aggressively.

Got ya beat. Been waiting most of the afternoon. See the owner show up in thread while on the clock and then go offline.
 
QB RomoRB R Bush, E LacyWR B Marshall, D Thomas, L MooreTE K DST I am seriously having buyer's remorse on Romo. Not because it's Romo, he'll be fairly solid. But I very nearly, and now wish I had, pulled the trigger on Russell Wilson instead. His ceiling is much higher than Romo's. Ohh well. Loving my WRs. No TE and meh RBs though... :mellow:

QB - Drew BreesRB - Frank GoreRB - Jonathan StewartRB - BJGEWR - Calvin JohnsonWR - Hakeem NicksVery happy with the WRs and QB at this point. Gore was more of a need pick as I didn't think he or his tier would make it back to mid Rd 4. I'll talk more about strategy as we get further into the draft.

 
Also, can we stop with the non pick discussion in the draft thread? I subscribe to the thread so everytime there is a post I get an email. Discussion and whining in that thread totally sucks as I'll stop what I'm doing to check the thread. 20 emails in a day with only 5 picks really sucks.

The end of Tuesday puts us two weeks into the draft. Based on a 4-5 week goal, we should be at the end of round 9 at that time. If you guys aren't thru round 9 by Wednesday morning, the 8 hour clock is being cut to 6 hours and all 50% / 75% clock reduction (time out penalties) will be based on the 6 hours.

 
sent a pm to shadowfax asking him to update the initial post with the guys who are on 4 hour clocks, so that people know:I believe these are the guys.....and not sure if they have been down to 2 hours for timing out again or not....if somebody knows that somebody should be on 2 hours, please post....SinrmanDepeaseRudyTeam Legacy timed out in first round, not sure if we got an answer on his clock being cut or not....

 
QB Phillip Rivers(5), Joe Flacco(6)RB Matt Forte(2), Mark Ingram(8), Beanie Wells(9)WR AJ Green(1), Micheal Crabtree(3), Marques Colston(4), Greg LIttle(10)TE: Jermaine Gresham(7) Rob Housler(11), Zach Miller(12)D: Pitt D(13)I am very happy with the look of this team so far. Love waiting on QB this year as think both of the guys I took offer good value and both will outperform there draft position next yearSolid #1 RB but #2 will be a concern and I will probably grab more thah most hereWR unit is excellent. It think Crabtree will remain a force and Green next to Calvin is easy guy to take. Colston is a big play guy and hopefully Little will play a little better this year. Not great but he will do in the 10thTE. The top guys are gone and the next tier is pretty huge. See how it goes. I wanted Finley and he was a huge consideration over Gresham but thought better chance he would drop. Wrong. I really like Housler if they improve at QB and Zach Miller played much better at end of the season. Amazed I seem like the only guy that really likes him looking at other draftsD; Pitt will rebound as they usually do. #1 or 2 D just a year ago. Has it really dropped that far. Most of the picks was who I coveted. I decided I was going WR in round 1 and hoped for Calvin but knew that was a pipe dream. Glad AJ was there because I probably go Forte and than come back with AJ JOhnson. I was glad to see Johnson in round 2. Round 3 was going to be one of many WR's but I choose Crabtree out of the mix. Any one just drafting ahead of him might have been taken. Round 4 was whoever and I went with BAP as RB's I liked later I could get and I got them. The rest has gone as plan. I hoped for Rivers/Flacco combo in round 5-6 from the get go. TE in the 7th was my next plan no matter what. There is a huge tier here again. But that tier was gone by pick 8.5 and thus the next tier had quite a few names. Almost went TE in 10th but League 1 draft has impacted me and hope the guys I want drop to the next round for me. They did in Houlser and Miller.

seeing the volume of QB's off the board this early in the draft and how far some have had to dip into the talent pool with still very early picks to get their first or second makes me feel better about getting a stud early....

Yep. Thats the way it goes in these survivor league drafts. Either get a stud early or try to get 2 mid tier guys before you run out of startable options.

haven't crunched the numbers but it seems a little more out of whack this year then in years past....maybe only by a round or so, but we have 25 QB's off the board by 7.15....9 out of 16 guys took QB's with 2 of their first 7 picks....guess maybe thats normal...

like this team a lot but hated your last pick....Miller blew out everything in his leg that has the letter "L" in it....he may not be ready and if so what will he bring to the table (he aint no ADP)....were still some other decent options out there..but IMO you did really nice work elsewhere....

A couple of thoughts here...1. Last year with the shuffle coming and loaded draft class, many of us thought we had late sleepers.2. A couple of us started a mini-run in WSL1 and the other drafts are following our ADP now.
 
QBs always seem to go early in the Winter drafts. I think folks view them as a safe pick in the first half of the draft.

if I understand Bass correctly, this now puts Sinrman, Dpease, and Rudy on 3 hour clocks...

Yes...or 1.5 hours if they've missed twice. I'll monitor the progress with a completion date of 14-15 days from today being the goal completion time.

Dpease was on a 2hr clock, so I think he drops to a 1.5hr clock.

Halfway Home:2.03 Aaron Rodgers QB GB 3.14 Steven Jackson RB ?5.14 David Wislon RB NYG8.03 Willis McGahee RB DEN10.03 Andre Brown RB NYG 1.14 Julio Jones WR ATL4.03 Eric Decker WR DEN6.03 DeSean Jackson WR PHI7.14 Jermichael Finley TE GB9.14 Tony Gonzalez TE 5.14 Wilson was the RB I was hoping made it back and he did. At the time of this pick Bradshaw had not been released. At that time, this was kind of a gamble but I like his game and thought he would be worth the risk in this format as I thought no matter what he would see an increase in touches even in a three headed monster and he has proven that he can be explosive on few touches. Bradshaw release was kind of gravy here.6.03 Don't know what else to say other then I like the idea of Jackson in the new offense. He may be getting the ball in his hands quite a bit, in different ways. Could be explosive. Amendola and James Jones were other considerations, as was Vernon Davis who I think is way undervalued right now. 7.14 Thoughts of Davis making it back were dancing in my head but knew it wasn't happening. Britt would have been considered here as well. Finley has apparently "got it" and I think makes a return to the top just behind the studs, so liked getting him as my TE1. Jennings leaving would be a bonus. The plan was to shock the world and go Finley and Gates at this turn. Those dreams were shattered with the pick right before my next pick. I thought I was going to be on to something, but Sinrman pissed all over that idea.8.03 As mentioned this was going to be Gates, because as with Davis I think he is being drastically undervalued (Vick is the other captain of my all undervalued team, but more on that in a second). This pick came down to McGahee or Vick. I thought Vick had a shot of making it back and with Rodgers in tow, RB more of a need. What I also decided here was that with 20 draft slots and Finley on board, I was going to take a hrad look at Gonzalez with the next pick and roll with three TE's in this league, menaing I would take Gonzo next and then a third later. With 2 PPR I think it may be a decent strategy. So yeah I'm taking another TE eventually, no secret. I know some may think Moreno will come back as the lead dog. I don't.9.14 At this point in the draft, I took a step back and realized there was not one player out there that I had rated significantly higher at any position then some of the other guys around him. No other player that would really provide a huge impact and seperate themselves from other guys around them. Except Gonzo. 10.03 Moments before this pick word broke of Bradshaw's release. Made this kind of easy. Unless they resign him, bring somebody else in, or draft someone I had the opportunity to lock up the NYG backfield. One of those things could happen. Brown may have been a good pick for me later anyway, with the news breaking he doesn't make it back to me. Timing is everything and played a part here. :banned:
