@neanderthal ike OTC

 

I'll check back in a little bit to see if @neanderthal ike pops by with a pick. If so, I'll pick tonight. If not, I guess I'll see everyone in the morning...

 

If Ike accepts my trade offer and says something about it just know it's good. I'll set my alarm for around 8:15.

 

Amazing pick, thank you... Its like you read my mind, he was my true pick for the Buccaneers. Thats a hole on the defense that needed addressed ASAP and you nailed it.

By the way - I do sleep from time to time and thought i could slip in a nap, but i over-slept... sorry for the hold up.

 

I will be on and off of here for the rest the day. Also, the Panthers are willing to move back a little bit if somebody just wanting to jump up and grab their guy.

 

I'll be back in an hour, hour and a half.

 

I've been lurking too.

I need coffee. Back in about 20-25 minutes.

 

Man, if that’s true I’m on an unprecedented run.

 

By the way, trying something new this year. Starting now, no autopicks...!!

If someone is late, they’re late. The next team can jump them as soon as their time is up. And teams after can continue to pick when ready.

When the late GM does show they can make their own selection from the players still available.

It’s on them for not being on time OR leaving a list with Joe or myself. So it’s on them if their favorite option has been sniped between their actual time slot and their actual arrival. Hopefully this adds a little excitement if nothing else. At least after the first round I’ve decided this doesn’t impact the draft all that much.

Edit: At my discretion, if something like 20-30 picks passes by and they haven’t returned I might THEN deem the GM awol and assume the GM duties.

 

Back in the years with tons of autos I went on a run that was a little crazy as well. Probably not archived anymore.

 

After proposing to do a mock draft without autopicks (I actually did run one that way long ago on SeeBS), it's a bit ironic that I might be the one making the first pick to jump the gun, so to speak.

 

Yours may well have been better. I just meant unprecedented for myself. In years past when we’ve disagreed about the auto you’ve been accurate more often than I have.
I’m 3-for-3 in this one, which is probably the best streak I’ve managed. Helps when they’re top 10 though.

 

For the one I ran (actually, I was sort of drafted to run it after the original guy basically gave up on it in the middle of the first round), I used a 24 hour rule.

If the GM was a full day late, the team was up for grabs if someone else wanted to jump in and join the draft. It wasn't all that hard to recruit new participants to join a mock when they could make their first pick or two immediately.

 

We used to have a million rules. People nitpicked and bitched. The group getting more defined probably helped but the same people stopped batching as soon as we added a rule that shit was up to our discretion or we removed many rules altogether.

 

That touches on why I'm so big on the "anything goes" idea on trades. You guys were always good about understanding what made sense for a team's situation and going with it. But every other mock in the SeeBS days tended to be "this one will be SOOOOO much more realistic than every other mock because trades will be heavily moderated. We'll go strictly by the chart, etc, etc."

To me, that was utter nonsense. The more you restrict potentially stupid moves, the LESS realistic the mocks will be. Billy Devaney and Matt Millen happen in real life.

 

Torgo you can pick @jd0313 on deck then myself.
