I reckon so - most of the folks who normally post in the NFL related threads are regular posters anyway, so I doubt it should be too much of an issue, but I dare say 24 hours is a fine limit :agree:Quote:

yes you will have 10th and 11th overall picks as the 2nd round will be in reverse order :agree:Quote:

on the previous page the 1st 2 teams have picked Sergio sledge (Loch ness monstors) is next and so on... The picks are made on this thread so keep an eye out for your turn.
I'm thinking of a better way. :) Is it possible to update the thread title with the name of the person who is currently picking? Or is that an admin function only?Quote:

Perhaps the person that makes a pick then sends a PM to the next person on the list letting them know it's their turn?Quote:

I think this helps.
say if your QB is on a bye week or against a tough D you could have a QB on the bench to be in your starting line up instead.Quote:

You just swap them back the next week. Like I said, that's how it usually works but with G listing and filling the teams I'm not sure how it works.
That's exactly how it works, i remember reading that in the rules but cant find the page.Quote:

If your really struggling you can check out the players by position and they will put them in order of who's the best. Just work your way down till you find someone no one has picked yet.
Yeah, that's what I plan on doing since I don't really follow football beyond the Patriots.....which is why team might end up looking familiar. It would be nice to know more about the players but I don't have the time for all the required research. I will just assume others have done their due diligence. For me, I think you could probably just take the best player available per position when it's my turn to pick because that's almost exactly what I will be doing.Quote:

Just taking it as it comes :agree:, its just for a laugh.Quote:
