What to bring to the draft? (1 Viewer)

Also, assume no laptop, so no DD..

I'm thinking so far:

Excel App cheatsheet

QBBC and "defense by committee" article summaries

Depth Chart sheet

pen, highlighter, etc.

What else? What do you bring to your draft?

Sorry if a honda, I searched a little.. :bag:

 
Bring lots of Beer and Liquor for you league mates ;)

Food is good to if you can afford it.

Also bring some old Maxim and ESPN magazines to distract them. (spread them around the room.)

 
I'm going to wear my Portis jersey and buy a Denver Broncos cap (my team's called the White Stallions).

I won the championship last year and created a trophy for myself to keep out of a Marvin Harrison McFarlane figure, so I'll bring that.

Last year I printed out a sheet of all my players that I wanted to trade for display. I ended up trading Warrick Dunn and Darrell Jackson for draft picks.

:nerd:

 
Also, bringing 2002-2004 FF Magazines to leave around..

Beer sounds like a good idea. We're in Germany, so I think a couple of cases of good german beer should do the trick..

 
I have a local draft tomorrow night to attend to. I showered last night and that'll be the last time I shower until after the draft. So to answer your question, bring BO.

 
As discussed in the blackeyedjoe goings-on, some faked cheatsheets that slip onto the floor.

Perhaps a printout of the ESPN fantasy TV crew "draft".

Greg Raymer glasses or a Unibomber hoodie.

Peanuts or popcorn: something that can be thrown

 
Booze is ok, but not until the midpoint of the draft, and don't drink the most... unless you get Bulger as the back-up to Warner for your third QB in the last round, like I did a few years back...

Also agree with fake charts, and B.O.-- You did all this work, why let some guppy take it from you? "NO CHEATING--Keep your eyes on your own paper!" Some people need to be reminded...

Also bring your magic talisman that always gets you out of a bind and gives you good luck (unless you tried that last year and missed the playoffs; in that case, you can throw it away.)

A VERY current depth chart (as in: printed out that morning) of all NFL teams may seem like overkill, but if it's the 3rd to last round and all your "sleepers" have been gone for a while, it's very handy.

And most importaintly, the next best thing to a FF draft, besides your draft list, you can bring:

A GOOD, POSITIVE ATTITUDE.

Seriously, you are SOOOOO far ahead of your competition right now, just by being here...

I bring a sheet that allows me to track the positions taken by the other teams in my league so I can get an idea of what positions they're looking at as the draft progresses. That, and a digital camera so I can post pictures of these guys on the league site (after taking some liberties with Photoshop first).

 
I think drinking is part of the fun at the draft.

I have a layout of how my draft should go before the draft, so no matter what drinking takes place, I can always fall back to my outline.

The draft is fun, let it be fun.

If fun for you doesn't intail a drink or two, don't do it, otherwise, enjoy a drink.

 
I take a laptop so I can't help you on the paper materials, but what I do every year is bring sticky snacks (like wings), salty or spicey foods, or anything else that will make them either have sticky fingers and can't handle their draft sheets, or something that will make them drink more beer.

I've even planted phoney depth charts and draft sheets around to confuse other drafters. Someday I'd love to have a stripper show up, but of course, that would probably distract me as much as anyone else. :stalker:

Oh, and cow bells. You can never have enough cow bells.

 
My list of things include:

- Crystal ball

- 3 packs of cigarettes

- "Drafting for Dummies" book

- Podium (I am gonna act like Tagliabue and announce each pick I make)

- 20 shots of vodka, one to be taken after each of my picks

- Airhorn, to be used for every "steal" I get in the later rounds

- Cellphone, on conference call with all NFL scouts

- Pepto Bismol, to be taken when I choose to wait "just one more round" before selecting a guy I want

- Bedpan (no explanation needed)

- 11 voodoo dolls (one of each of other owner, to be used as needed)

- Victory cigar, only to be lit if I love my team when the draft ends

:goodposting: Is there a "post of the year" award. If so, that is it.I am burning the cigar during the draft. A little buzz, but I can still keep my edge.The booze will have to wait for the post-draft poker game.Other than that, swap out the Pepto for a rosary....and you have my Friday night too!!
 
I basically bring a folder with

-depth charts as of that day

-injury report

-top 200 for marking off players

-antsports ADP list

-some tier sheets of each position

-markers ( one for players to target, players taken. players to avoid )

-smokes

Since my draft is held in the "hall" at the back of a private bar...draft beer & food is provided ( 25 bucks for draft night each team )

That air horn is brilliant.

As for the upper decker...heh, my buddy just got a new house and his brother and i ut him on a easter egg hunt with all the empty beer bottles..needless to say i did the "bubble" verison of a upper decker.....dish detergient in the back of the toilet so when he flushes...knee high in bubbles :D

:lmao:I think I am the only sick puppy in here that got that. Then again, I spend more time in the FFA than in here so that might explain why I found this to be so funny.

I got it too! I have been threatening the Upper Decker to my friends for years when they invite me to their house. One of these days, I will do it.

Don't forget to :pics: and when you attach it and send it through e-mail, simply say "Flush"

Bring a brain, beer, brashness, and no bra. Please, no ------g yellow faces...Sherlock Holmes already dealt with that. Be they happy, sad, melancholy, sarcastic, they are gay.(response being to the original post) PMC.

:goodposting: Laptop Tip: if your laptop has Windows 2000 or XP Pro, use the WindowsKey+L key combo locks your computer screen so nobody else can see it when you get up to take a leak or get another beer. Just make sure you remember your password. :ninja:

(Windows Key location varies on laptops - usually near Spacer Bar, but sometimes in upper-right corner of keyboard)

 
I am thinking of bringing a cooler full of Smirnoff Ice in a variety of flavors. That stuff sneaks up on you, but can easily be passed off as a low alcohol content drink.

 
Bring some food and drinks

I hosted a draft last weekend for a 16 teamer and not 1 cheap ##### brought beers or any kind of chow.

 
Everyone brings food to our draft so I am smoking baby back ribes. Aside from that, here are my necessities:

1. My own tiered cheatsheet.

2. Hi-lighters and a pen

3. 6 pack of Sam Adams Octoberfest

4. 6 pack of Penn Brewry's Octoberfest

5. Bottle of Gulden Draak for after the draft

6. 3 cigars, saving the Montecristo for after the draft

7. Torch lighter

 
This thread covers almost everything I bring.

The only exception is I also bring the last 12 issues of my Playboy subscription and spread them all around.

There are guys that could not put them down last year. Worked like a charm.

Besides, I'm all done with those B****es. :yes:

 
Leave a bunch of condoms in the bathroom. This will confused the other owners, leading you to greater chance for success.
