The choices were limited. I wish we were starting tomorrow :D I am indifferent on workday vs weekend, as they both have their pros and cons. I do most of mine on my smartphone anyway, unless I am at my desk at work.

I can make arrangements to make most of my picks live, but if I'm at work, I can't take more than a minute or so. That means no shopping while near or on the clock for me. And yes, I'd draft tomorrow too. :)

You could avoid the hassle by just giving me your 1st round picks. :D

I've already traded one, and with the right offers, I'll consider moving the others. The only thing for sure, is nothing is for sure.

In the past, when day 1 of the draft started on a weekday, we sometimes started later in the day.

Will that be the case this year, commish?

Just trying to gauge roughly where my first pick time slot will land, as I know you're still working on getting it done.

The thought with a Friday start (as originally voted and being supported again) would be just one round that first day and a later start. I'll be away Saturday and wanting to ensure things are going smoothly that first day.

Teams should be able to now go into the draft tools (click Draft from top menu) and start adding players to their draft queues. I still have work to do there, including adding the NFL order that will be used as our default and exact pick windows (hoping to have all that updated tomorrow), but teams should now be able to start ranking their players and marking picks they wish to move up/down, etc.

You are away Saturday? Should have just used your executive powers and said it's starting Monday. :lol:

Now, you just shush! Having the entire draft on weekdays, would be an absolute worst case scenario for me.

Now, go in your corner and think about what you did. :)

I have several picks for my AFFL team on Saturday too. Stuff going on, but should be able to check in every now and then to see if any situations need resolving and to put in my picks. But just won't be always around on Saturday so will be good to know things went fine or issues ironed out on Friday evening so the rest of the draft goes smoothly (hopefully).

If you didn't see in the other post this morning, draft times are now set for each pick.
