Not trying to argue or be an asshole Chris, I'm fine with guys talking a little time if needed here, my point was that if it had been New Jersey, there would still be no pick at 86 until tomorrow and I think everyone would agree that that would be a little excessive

To clear up my view, I like the early draft window. It gives you time to make a realistic pick and also negotiate moving up/down. Like Brian said we don't have one day with all GMs in a room where we have phones and can make a deal happen in a matter of minutes. I also like the draft moving along but it's also a week ahead of schedule so I'd like to make my own picks rather than continuously give a list with potential sleepers while it's unnecessary to do so. There is really no incentive to give a list to someone else rather than to avoid being labeled an asshole or whatever because you're holding up the draft. I think the process is fine as is but maybe something that will help in one way or another is to either create a penalty for an excessively long wait or a reward for a quick pick. |

The best part about the belly aching is that one of the GMs belly aching about it taking too long got pissy about something and sat on his pick a few years ago. IMO the early draft window is a convenience and it shouldn't be tinkered with. If someone takes an entire day, oh well, life happens. Hopefully they plan ahead and utilize a buddy or message a mod/Glenn with a list.

Excellent point, Jed. I don't know if this is too much or if it's a good idea so I'll just throw it out there: Guys have a pretty good idea of when they'll be unavailable. I'm a stay at home dad so my schedule is pretty flexible. Others can pick at work while some are dead to the outside world. Plus this is a busy time with vacations and everything. What if we had a chart where guys can post when they'll be unavailable? It could also list who is making picks for teams that are unavailable. I made a few picks for Boston when he was away and I didn't get any messages saying he was up. This could solve that problem as well as provide a quick reference for league run teams. I don't have a problem with the early draft or the length of time between picks. I just think it could be more efficient. If I'm on deck I'd like to have an idea of whether I'll be up in 10 minutes or 10 hours. |

Protesting a Glennsa ruling is not the same as lagging on a pick.

In the event of someone holding up the draft out of vindictiveness, (even the early open window mind you) I reserve the right to open the window for the subsequent teams after fair warning has been given. This has in the past, and I assume will continue in future to spurn owners to action. Again, to be crystal clear, this will not done in cases where a user is tied up for work or some other personal issue.
