For all other traded picks this is how it will go:

The actual teams will pick for you since it will be autoed for any round after Round 1. For Round 2, you get to pick a 3.5-4.0 Spect. For Rounds 3-5 2.5-3.0 Spect. For all other rounds anything up to a 2.0 is fair game.

The draft class will be editted tonight and uploaded with Wednesday's sim. Once that happens, there will be a Draft Central Thread started. (gotta talk to Grant) Anything about the draft will be there. You can post your pre-rankings of players if you can't attend the live draft on Saturday night-Sunday Morning. Any other questions, PM me or IM me.

One thing that's been done in other leagues that works really well, is open up the draft 2 days ahead or so, and just put people on the clock, you can usually get through the first 15 or so picks by doing that, it saves time on the actual draft. But it's up to you guys.

i have the Number 2 overall pick now not KC just to tell you

[Baltimore Orioles]

Yeah I think opening it up now would be great cuz i dont have internet at home for the wkds, and since i now have 3 picks in the first 21 i want to make sure i get the players i want.

[bosoxgm]

Well, that's the whole concept of pre-ranking. I love having the live draft. I'll let Grant make the call on this, but if it's up to me, we keep it the way it is.

[Brew Crew GM]

I guarantee you that me and Poodski (O's GM) won't be at the draft. That is our bar night (as is a bunch of other nights but def sat). If by chance we are so drunk we can't walk and have to leave the bar early, you really don't want us in a draft with you guys anyway. BTW Po Sat is going to be a wild turkey night, so you know it's getting ugly. Over under how many fights you and me cause with our girlfriends. I say 8

[bosoxgm]

Well, on a Saturday night at midnight, anyone under 21, which I guarantee is 2/3 of this league, can't drink legally. From what I've seen, the majority of the league is on late at night on weekends, and it obviously has to be a time when I'm availible to conduct the draft. Either way, I'll start it up for you guys if you please.

Yeah i am not doing Wild Turkey, KG did say it was going to be Drunkville, USA so I will take the under but only because I hope she passes out before we reach the 8.
