No go. Using chrome. Then pops to app. It wants to work. Then bam to our league.

Kinda embarrassing. For the record. I took under 5 seconds on my pick. Ha ha

Having multiple leagues doing this was the best idea we've had in a long time.

I get it, it's just the 2nd round....and we had 4hrs on the first pick. Be nice to get a couple picks after work when everyone is mostly available.

I see this in every online slow draft I’m in. I realize it’s a slow draft and understand why, yet anytime I ask why one or two owners take several hours for each of their picks, they get defensive and don’t really give a reason. 99% of people have computers in their pocket. I don’t understand checking into the site just once every four to five hours.
At the end of the “journey” if all twelve owners had the same laissez-faire attitude, the season would start before the drafts were complete.
I get that it is what it is, I just don’t understand it.

So, I guess you chose McBride over Mahomes then, huh?

It’s ok. You’ll survive.

After SP UNO was kicked while down a few times today, it's worth noting the scoreboard at the conclusion of day one (as I head to bed)...
UNO: pick 4.10, four QBs thru rd 3
Dosie Dos: 3.6, zero QBs
Tres Leches: 2.5, zero QBs
D is for Donut: 3.5, zero QBs
6 pts per pass TD, -1 per int and 1 per 20 pass yds. Embrace the darkside of the Schwartz!

I swear I was going to post a “draft status update” for all 4 leagues to see how we (League Uno, of course, for those following at home) stacked up against the new upstart leagues after we got some early day abuse, but I couldn’t bother to go back to find the post with the links to all the draft boards. Thanks for doing that.

I did a quick search on my players at 12/13 prior to clicking their names. You never know when news drops.

There's a reason for clocks in master-level chess. UNO is the greatest. Today proven. That is all.

There's enjoying the journey and there's being indecisive.
I personally find that the more time I have between picks the more apt I am to second guess myself. Did it with my last pick, and now I've got to change up my strategy.
DA RAIDERS
Footballguy
You have a strategy?
Chaka
Footballguy
Congratulations.
The path towards accepting why you didn't make the cut for League Uno begins with trying to understand ones self.
You have done well.
Continue your journey, and #### grasshopper.

Didn't make the cut because I didn't notice the post in time. Also I'm very curious what the censored word was.
Well it was bpa, but I kind of boned that.

Probably not because the clock isnt going technically

Gosh IDK. At this rate if I were to finish top 3 in my league and get moved to league 1 next year or whatever the dealio is... I might decline. Have you all thought about maybe taking a rag and a mop and cleaning that stench that comes from your clubhouse? Ripe.
Chaka
Footballguy
Ouch.

I mean are we sure that going to league 1 shouldn't be considered a punishment?

At 6 points per passing TD and 1 pt/20 yards passing, that actually makes the later round pocket QBs a bit more valuable, and the early round running QBs less valuable. So who are the sharks in this case?
Literally why I did not take a QB at 3.02.
LawFitz
Footballguy
Yeah, but now it's a game of chicken for Goff and Nix in UNO. Or you are looking at a dropoff unless Bake show can recreate the magic with his OC gone to Dooovaaaaahlhalla.

yeah it's Golden and Corums on Achane. $50 and it's yours.
(I'm either a hippy in the woods off signal or a pimp in 1970s New York City take your pick)
(or alternatively - have I had too much coffee or not enough?)
I did deserve this tho. And then this morning I wanted to *test* the system so while I was actually sitting here at my desk and in the draft room, I put it on auto with Bowers at the top of my list and McBride 2nd. Just so I would ensure one of them. But I was at 2.11 and proceeded to not take it OFF auto fast enough so when it came back to me it autopicked McBride when really I wanted to go WR there lol. So I'm off to a really impressive start.

Read the fine print. TE scoring is 5 ppr

by falling on my sword. "Here lies a really impressive TE start"

Good thing this league allows trading. Someone will come knocking.

yeah they're both on the block for sure. there are so many late TE options I like too. silly. but it's fun, I like the challenge of saying ok what can I do with a WR-TE-TE start? I was actually moving from one tab to the other to click AUTO off when @Cjw_55106 acted quicker than I could lol a mere few seconds at the most

Anyone else have the first few picks obscured by a sleeper ad, using the links in the first post? If so, how do get rid of the ad?

I actually think you may have accidentally fallen into an interesting strategy for this format. There are three TE-eligible flex positions and both Bowers and McBride score points like WR1/2 - granted that's assuming last year's production holds, but for McB at least, who you took accidentally, he did that with only scoring 2 TDs. There's meat left on that bone, it seems.
Beyond being able to use both of them without missing much of a beat in your lineup, you also have the advantage of depth of ultra-premium TE points from your TE spot to cover byes/injuries - and now you've starved the rest of the league from having another big dawg TE to match Bowers.
Lastly, I think you have a greater chance of unearthing gems at WR1/2 and/or RB1/2 later than you do TEs that score like these two. I hope you keep them both as a use case strategy for us to track!

yeah I hear ya but the problem I see is that I think this is going to be the year of the rookie TE and the young veteran TE and the old veteran TE. I think there will be lots of late value at the position, which really mitigates any potential advantage I'm able to gain *if and only if* I overcome the opportunity cost involved with this roster construction. And with as much TE Premium as I play, everything I've ever experienced or read says two early TEs never works. I need to trade one of them.
