makes sense... but again I would prefer cmh or GB make the call (i'm not really a commish anyway) perhaps @RaiderHaters Revenge can review the situation and give his input...

I believe that is the precedent.... I remember someone wanting to change a pick a few years ago and we determined that players eligibility didn't matter it was simply if another pick had been made after. sounds like the picks were bang-bang? looking at the pick thread his pick was the last to be made again i'm abstaining for family ties reasons

im going to abstain.... i was going to make a pick but will hold off and see what @cmh6476 or @GuardBum think

Yikes. Yates was a bit of a fallback option for me after Fairbanks although I clearly never would have gotten him. Think it will be a great pick though

1.01- GuardBum (Blue Jays) - Marcus Semien, 2B, TEX 1.02 - cmh6476 (Royals) - Cole Ragans, SP, KC 1.03 - Jim Mora (Rangers) - Jacob DeGrom, SP, TEX 1.04 - Zero Tolerance (Tigers) - Jack Flaherty, SP, DET 1.05 - bbascom (Red Sox) - Chris Sale, SP, ATL 1.06 - dcb291 (Mets) - Juan Soto, OF, NYM 1.07 - BlackClouds (Angels) - Reynaldo Lopez, SP, ATL 1.08 - WhiteWonder (Rays) - Blake Snell, SP, LAD 1.09 - Lambert58 (Cardinals) - Marcell Ozuna, OF, ATL 1.10 - RaiderHaters Revenge (Padres) - Manny Machado, 3B, SDP 1.11 - Burt (Braves) - Raisel Iglesias, RP, ATL 1.12 - Mookz (Orioles) - Anthony Santander, OF, TOR 2.01 - Mooks (Orioles) - Tanner Scott, RP, LAD 2.02 - Burt (Braves) - Jurickson Profar, OF, ATL 2.03 - RaiderHaters Revenge (Padres) - Brent Rooker OF, ATH 2.04 - Lambert58 (Cardinals) - Randy Arozarena, OF, SEA 2.05 - WhiteWonder (Rays) - Nathan Eovaldi, SP, TEX 2.06 - BlackClouds (Angels) - Yusei Kikuchi, SP, LAA 2.07 - dcb291 (Mets) - Seth Lugo, SP, KC 2.08 - bbascom (Red Sox) - Liam Hendricks, RP, BOS 2.09 - Zero Tolerance (Tigers) - Robbie Ray, SP, SF 2.10 - Jim Mora (Rangers) - Pete Fairbanks, RP, TBR 2.11 - cmh6476 (Royals) - Carlos Estevez, RP, KC 2.12 - GuardBum (Blue Jays) - Kevin Gausman, SP, TOR

I had already assumed Randy would not be a Ray this year , despite his diminishing numbers I love the guy but Snell is far and away the top player on my draft eligible list. So I had already planned to be going SP/SP. the bones never seem to be all that kind to me when it comes to trickle down effect. For example if Padres pick before me in round 1 and have access to Soto, or even just prefer Machado to Snell, I get Randy AND Snell... I think a lot of the time its better to pick after the teams who share your top players so long as they have better options than your guys. Also kind of thought Fairbanks wouldn't be a 2nd/3rd rounder

2.05 - Nathan Eovaldi, SP, TEX

1.08 - Blake Snell, SP, LAD

I'd like to see it removed as well. At the end of the day, do I really care very much? probably not.... but for arguments sake, if a ball carrier gains 3 yards and is then pushed BACK by the defense, they don't lose the ground they gained. Forward progress is called. Why should a ball carrier be allowed to be pushed FORWARD by teammates from behind? As soon as pushing begins, the play should be blown dead for progress.

Maybe not. My entire post was about the Jets though

I don’t want them to trade for Stafford (unless it’s somehow cheap) but I would view it as similar to having kept Rodgers or signing a Cousins or Carr if and after they are cut. Again these are guys you want for 2 years MAX while a rookie sits and learns ala Jordan Love The bonus is that a few of these guys can actually make the Jets playoff contenders and more with the amount of talent on this roster. When you have Wilson and Hall on offense and a line that recently invested in Fashanu, Tippman, still has AVT. Maybe they draft Tet as well. If they can retain DJ Reed, they will have the Williams Bros, Sauce, Jermaine Johnson back and Will McDonald looked good last year. Etc.

I love Emeka and he is not underrated. I’ve rarely seen him fall out of round 1 mocks anymore

RBs shouldn’t normally go very high so this just seems like people projecting a Jerry pick

Are you calling Mason Graham boring? I think he’s going to be a stud. Flashy picks to the Raiders doesn’t prove whatever point you’re trying to make. Raiders have a long history of going with the fastest or most intriguing athlete so this is less about being cool and more that the Al Davis MO has stuck. Hunter Jeanty and Sanders feel like classic Raider picks

With the way we drive when sober (like a-holes) and drunk (intoxicated a-holes), I wouldnt trust a magnetic mount

I don’t. My golf buddies all use some desert fox one that straps to the side of a cart Desert Fox Phone Caddy you can get plain black or other solid colors for a few bucks cheaper probably.

I threw $5 on LA when they were down 4-0. I thought they were on hole 11 but they were about to start 12. They won 12, won 13 with a hammer, won 14, tied 15 and won the overtime. I feel like the +odds should have been greater but I’ll take the $70 win

19.08 - Taj Bradley, SP, TB 20.05 - Josh Lowe, OF, TB

21.08 - Willy Adames, SS, SF 22.05 - Brandon Lowe, 2B, TB

23.08 - Yandy Diaz, 1B, TB 24.05 - Junior Caminero, 3B, TB

25.08 - Shane McClanahan, SP, TB 26.05 - Tyler Glasnow, SP, TB

Last year we started picks on 2/24 and we had 29 days in Feb. We began the supplemental on 3/7 and finished on 3/12 18 day process. We should probably have a hard start of Wednesday 2/26 to ensure some breathing room with the March 18th game

Once Burt rolls, I will get started producing the draft threads so people can back log their exclusives and we can set a start date for the draft. I suppose once the round 1/2 thread is created people can make picks if they wish but we usually have a starting date so no one feels obligated to pick before hand and to lessen injury risk just a tad.

I pretty much disagree with all of this. Mock drafts are just for fun and often mostly wrong but biased toward “cool” teams? When did the Bears become cool? it’s not unrealistic that many mocks had Brock Bowers to the Raiders last year. It’s was a very “Raiders” pick. Not because they are seen as “cool”. i think the most bias you will see is if a mock is done by a teams fan site or beat writer. I have seen some of those where it’s clear they are making a player fall

Does he need to be fast? Lots of receivers were faster than Mike Evans when he came into the league. I bet Tets 40 time winds up being similar. Can Tet put on 10 pounds? I would comp him more to Drake London though
