Diesel was frantically looking for clinics the other night... maybe his hepatitis is flaring up again.

PDM91285: i hope to get a G and DE at the first two picks and then at 25, get either FB or CB.

^^ From an AIM session yesterday with dieselboy..

I'd say pick his highest rated CB of FB from his draft board if his time is about to expire, or now.

I'd say wait until 3:40 ET before making any picks for him. No reason to change the rules just because people are impatient.

[Guest]

Agreed. Thought I would give that option though. :)

[Clay]

Does the system do something automatically if you hit the timer? I'm asking that out of curiousity... does it just skip?

Other leagues move your pick to the back of the round if you miss out. Since we're late in the 5th, I'm not sure that's much of a penalty, and we'd be waiting on him again.

One thing another league of mine does is when the clock expires:

1. If the owner has players loaded in their utility, select the top-ranked player
2. Select the top-ranked player (by adjusted bureau score) who fills an in-game need position

a. If all three need positions have been filled in the draft, select the top-ranked non-kicker/punter (by NON-adjusted bureau score, aka 'grade' in FOF)

[Dave]

Yeah, the six hour time limit exists for a reason and people will pay the price in the court of public opinion if they actually take the full six hours to make a pick (in the 5th round).

[ExtremeGamer]

I say give him the lowest ranked punter.

[Dave]

I'm not really sure what the utility does when it expires, but he said he wanted a FB and he has a FB ranked #1 in his queue, so I'll just auto-pick him a FB when his time is close to expiring.

None. We've waited all day.
