 I’ve only spent 15 minutes researching the football season (when is it?), yet even I know Jerry Jeudy is the best dynasty player in this draft. It’s as if you all are rooting for me, along with the rest of our fans. Thank you friends. Thank you.

I think you have missed on all of your 1st rounders since I have joined, which is a good thing because you had a crapload of them.

Due to the immense pressure these players feel when they wear the Padrino uniform, it only makes sense that most will wash out. This isn’t your standard 6-8 Tampa Porn Doctors type organization where anyone that comes in can get by with averageness. Our players become super stars or they break. 

[Gypsybrat 91]

At least we got the first round done.

Sent Vudu an email a few hours ago, he was on the board awhile ago but I don't think he can accept PMs right now... So we wait

[cbfalcon 824]

I sent Vudu a trade offer, cuz this draft needs some spice and style

No time limit on the weekends.  Clock starts at 8am Monday and he will have 12 hours to make a pick.

Pinned constitution says 8 hours, just saying

• 8 hour time limit for picks
• 8-6 EST Monday-Friday
• No time limit on weekends or evenings

This is from the Website so who knows

*EDIT:  actually, I know!   We will go with what Kutulu posted.  8 hours seems reasonable.

E. Draft:

 

1. Draft Order will be the inverse of the previous season's Post-Season Standings (Last place picks 1st and vice versa).

2. The annual rookie draft will be a standard “non-snaking” draft. The team that picked 1st in round 1, will pick 1st in round 2, 3, so on and so forth.

3. The annual draft will be scheduled just prior to the start of the first pre-season game. League members will agree on a suitable date for all, on a year by year basis.

4. The draft will be a “slow draft”, taking place on the MFL DNDL league site. The picks will also be displayed in a thread on the FFToday DNDL league forum. The commissioner will use this information to assist league members with MFL access issues at work.

• 12 hour time limit for picks
• 8-5 EST Monday-Friday
• No time limit on weekends or evenings

5. Trading is permitted throughout the course of the draft. The same rules apply, in regards to tradable assets.

6. If a team does not make a pick within the 12 hour time limit, the commish will pick the highest rated rookie available on the squad.

Dammit Pisstopher!   I was gonna take that Dillon kid from Green Bay!

I am looking to trade him, as I’d never heard of him until 3 minutes before I chose him. But I’ve learned a lot since then. He is a big deal. 

[MedStudent 56]

Highlights:

1. D'Andre Swift: 

 

2. Ke'Shawn Vaughn:

3. Adam Trautman:

 

[WhiteWonder 2,171]

What a load of crap. Dude can’t even show up to draft so my player gets sniped because he gets handed the highest adp rookie instead of highest adp available player. 
 

where do we find these owners?

[MTSkiBum 1,594]

The draft timer should be off in the evenings.

[WhiteWonder 2,171]

Timer expires you should be skipped. Not handed a good player. Silly.

That's actually what is stated in the constitution above

The timer should not have been on, it should not have expired.

Well that’s another issue. When would he have shown up? You are correct 

but it seems I’m also correct that he doesn’t get given a player. 

[vuduchile 1,941]

Sorry guys.  I had football practice til 7 , then my kids' baseball game after that.  Got home after 11 and pretty much passed out.  

[Gypsybrat 91]

The bylaws posted at FFToday and the bylaws posted on the DNDL website are different.  I was going by the DNDL bylaws when I awarded the rookie pick.   

The FFToday byways were dated from 2018.   I imagine those are the newest since I took over the following year as commissioner.  

 

This is the part where we are fixing ( any pick made after Neckbeard/Bigtraines 4.9 will be locked in and not changeable)

4.03 The Vudu Balls select:  Hamler, KJ DEN WR (pick changed to some no name that he can replace after draft)

4.04 The Tampa Porn Doctors select: Perriman, Breshad NYJ WR  (chose to change to Hamler, KJ - DEN WR)

4.05 Kat Fancy select: Washington, DeAndre KCC RB (chose to change to Perriman, Breshad -  NYJ WR)

4.06 Putin's Bitches select: Asiasi, Devin NEP TE (keeping pick)

4.07 Professor Stats select: Wilson, Jeffery SFO RB

4.08 Drunken Knights select: Taylor, Trent SFO WR (keeping pick)

4.09 Neckbeards select: Cephus, Quintez DET WR  (keeping pick)

 

Vudu will have his pick skipped. and he can draft someone (pm me your pick) after the draft is complete.

Tampa Porn doctors can have Hamler if he desires or keep his pick. (changed pick)

Kat Fancy can have his pick or the previous player not picked. (changed pick)

Putins can have his pick or the previous player not picked. (keeping pick)

Prof Stats can have his pick or the previous player not picked

Drunken Knights can have his pick or the previous player not picked (keeping pick)

Neckbeards can have his pick or the previous player not picked. (keeping pick)

[Bigtraine 24]

I'm sticking with my pick at 4.09 (Quintez Cephus).

Sounds good! 

Right now Putin's Bitches can keep their pick or change it to Washington, DeAndre KCC RB.   please declare your intentions.

Anything else is stupid.  I have a life to live a job to do and I’m not chained to my phone 24-7.  
 

I was back here this morning and could have made a pick then but now I’m skipped instead. 
 

Fock off.  

[MTSkiBum 1,594]

 

@Gypsybrat

According to the rules Vudu should not have had his pick skipped. The timer is off on evenings and weekends.

Should be modified. 

5a- 3p pst is not a reasonable window.

I am considering it to be once the clock starts, it starts and does not stop.

[kutulu 1,545]

Email sent to med to check in, can CBF go ahead and pick? If so I can text him for the heads up

[cbfalcon 824]

So what’s all this yahoobubaboout? My team is still the best, right?

[WhiteWonder 2,171]

I would have been fine with no skipping. To me the issue was a player should not be given to him. There are no rules for that. He could have stayed on the clock for 5 days for all I care and then made his own pick. 
 

top adp rookie? Top adp overall? Top xyz position? It’s totally arbitrary and unfair to people picking behind trying to build their teams.

pretty sure we all do

 

 I’m not advocating you being skipped  I’m advocating you not being picked for  

 

 

[cbfalcon 824]

Remember how every single season we’ve ever had, someone has said we need a time limit on each pick.....then someone (usually Ed) would point out that we’ve never had a time limit before and we’ve always finished on time?

My memory has been shot to hell, and even I remember this annual playlet. You guys blew it.

[MedStudent 56]

I’ll keep my pick
