2014 Mock Draft Discussion Thread

[gkekoa]

Compensatory picks haven't been awarded yet. They won't be until the owner's meeting.

Good point, so obviously then they will not be included.

 

[MrMoJoRisin63]

ok there are 4 threads for our draft.

This one which obviously is the discussion thread.

The selection thread which will used when you want to announce your pick

The pick thread which will be used only to view the draft, please dont post on this thread.

And the trade thread which will be used to show all the trades that have been made, please do not post on this thread either.

Ask a MOD to sticky the PICKS ONLY thread.

 

[Nosferatu]

So what teams lack representation at this point Ravens and Bills?

Yes, we also have some GM's that haven't checked in since they signed up so we might have more teams available once we get started.

 

[MrMoJoRisin63]

Jesus someone already posted in the selection thread. Oyyyyy

 

[Nosferatu]

Ok, we can now add the Packers to the list of teams we need a GM for, thank you Trudem for letting me know.

Packers
Bills
Ravens

And again we still have GM's that have not checked in since signing up, please let us know you are ready

Oakland, New Orleans, Carolina, Dallas, Philadelphia & the Giants... Please let us know you are ready to go...

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

We are starting tomorrow morning aren't we?

 

[Shanemansj13]

I am still confused. Way too many threads!

So basically we discuss on here and use the selection thread to post picks. The other threads we do not use. ok, got it

 

[MrMoJoRisin63]

I am still confused. Way too many threads!

Just use this one and the trade thread. When it's your turn to post there is a thread for selections only.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Same here... Can't figure out which thread to follow

Don't forget Cleveland takes two 3rd rounders from the PIT-CLE transaction of last year's draft.

 

[Nosferatu]

I was worried about this....

There are 4 threads, the only ones you will ever post on are the discussion thread and the selection thread, the other two threads are for viewing only, those other two threads are where it will show all trades made and the other thread is where the full draft will be shown.

Thanks for the clarification

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

I'm still confused as to the drafting time frames... Are we supposed to draft on our assigned time block or are we given 1 hr after the person before you picks?

I have meetings tomorrow morning so I don't know what my availability will be. I can definitely do the assigned 1 hr block on Wednesday at noon (Pittsburgh's)

 

[NJBuckO's]

They should stick to the time frames since a person may not know the people in front picked and may have gone out until their time.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Okay here's how it will work. We will have a time frame of one hour for each pick. So say Houston picks from 10-11am. If he comes on and picks at 10:23. The next team will have from 10:23-11:23 to make their pick. You have one hour to make your selection from the minute the team before you picks. The main title should be edited to say what team is up and the time frame. Unfortunately idk if we will be able to do that since me and Nosferatu aren't mods on the boards and have that power.

But that's how it will work, understand?

 

[Nosferatu]

We will stick to the posted draft times but you will be allowed to pick if your turn comes up regardless of the time.

The draft times for the following day can change so please be sure to keep checking in for the following days times. The reason for this is if we are scheduled to do 12 teams a day but have 25 picks made we arent going to give team 26 an antire day to draft.

Let me explain that better

12 teams are scheduled to draft 10:00am - 10:00 pm everyday then the following day the 13th team would be the first scheduled team to draft but if we have 25 teams draft the first day that 26th team might not have been scheduled to draft until late in the day or even the following day so I will post the draft times for the following day around 9:00pm.

I know that sounds confusing because I made it confusing but you'll understand once it happens.

This cannot be the way we do it, it will lead to way to many people missing their pick because if we have 10 picks in the first hour the guy who wasnt suppose to draft until 8:00 would be on the clock, we cant do it that way.

This thread is for discussion and other thingss. Other one is for draft picks ONLY.

Okay that's fine, so then what happens if somebody does pick a little early into their scheduled time? When does the clock start for the next team? Or you wanna just keep the one hour clock no matter what? I'm open to suggestions, not trying to be a dick and control it all. You know i'm willing to work with ya, especially since you jumped in to help me.

Agreed.

Imo, a person should be allowed to draft early but not be allowed to draft late. This keeps the time slots intact
