One last thing folks.

 

For Covid reasons, we had an 8 person bench. I am going to reduce it back to 6 like it was before, now that we should have fewer Covid absences. This should also make more players available on waivers than the previous year, IMO. We will continue to have 3 players for injured reserve.

[Juanjo]

That sounds good to me. I like having bench spots to stash players, but last year the WW really didn't have anyone who could help.

^6 is a good number, sounds good to me also

[brently76]

Draft day!!! Let’s goooooo

[Statiik82]

Hope I like my actual draft more than the couple of mock drafts I have done....

 

Draft Day 2021!!

[Juanjo]

I'm used to pick almost last and I usually adapt to have a decent team. I've made some mocks and drafting from 11th spot is a headache for me when it comes to rounds 3-4 this year.

Help this poor FF player and let some studs slip, thank you

[Btown_Colt]

I’m really not thrilled with the way my mocks are going either. 

[IndyD4U]

T minus 45 minutes

[Virtuoso80]

entered the draft room, looks like the draft order hasnt been set.

You pick first and I pick 3rd now. We should just expect they don't notice the change

I’d almost trade out if the 3rd pick…I’m not digging it!

I am there and ready to go and kick us off at pick 1 if the order gets fixed as it should :-D

hopefully it gets fixed in the next 7 mins . not sure what happens otherwise once the draft starts 

[brently76]

what are we doing? my chat wouldn't load and everyone is on auto

[chad72]

I sent an email to everyone, we are meeting back up at 6 pm ET, the draft order got reset by nfl.com, not sure how. My bad for not checking on it sooner because it won't let me change it 15 minutes prior.

nfl.com set the order wrong. i dont think it would let chad correct it.

 

so everyone is going to autodraft. letting it run. then i think chads gonna clear it and we meet back at 6pm ET to do the actual draft.

 

Everyone am i tracking that right?

That is correct. I think what happened is when I randomized league schedule, nfl.com must have the 2 linked that randomizing a schedule prior to the draft randomizes draft order too. So when I set the draft order and saved it, it looked fine. Then, I went and randomized the league schedule and did not check back on the draft order. That is a bug though, league schedule and draft order shouldn't be correlated.

 

Anyways, I will reset the draft once the draft is complete, then re-enter the draft order, then put in a new draft time AFTER those are done so that I can verify my changes a gazillion times.

does @onebad150 know because that user is the only one not auto

Yeah, everyone got sent the league wide email from me.

 

Email or this forum are the ways to keep in touch. 

[chad72]

Don't worry I will not start the draft at 6 pm ET, will give you at least 15 minutes time to gather, all of you.

[Statiik82]

Sounds good, thanks for solid work/updates Chad

No, I did not know, I was busy and just logged on in time to draft. Oh well it looks like I had a practice/mock draft! So 6pm today is the REAL draft???

[IndyD4U]

Man, that autopick team was turrible (In my best Charles Barkley voice)! Here to hoping the real draft goes better for me

I’ll be there at 6 since I’m first on the clock so I can kick us off whenever you say we are good.

not a bad autodraft for me at pick 1

[chad72]

Good news and bad news:

 

Good news: Draft order is set accurately

 

Bad news: It won't allow me to set the draft any earlier than 7 pm ET. Plus the fact I am dealing with Covid (which is why I dozed off).   What a day!!!

 

Sorry guys!!

[Statiik82]

 at least we are reset and good to go!

[chad72]

Draft starts in 10 minutes, draft order is all good

[Statiik82]

5 min count down boys.

[Statiik82]

Fun Draft! Should be a fun year as always! 

 

Let the trades begin. lol

[TomDiggs]

nice job everyone. good luck!

[chad72]

Hope you guys liked your drafts!!!

 

Good liuck!!!
