I'm not gonna put up a dozen different variations, not gonna screw around with any "well what about this.." stuff..we either keep 24 hours per pick or we go with this..

First round, remain 24 hours, constant running clock
2nd round-4th round 12 hours, click stops between the hours of 12am est and 8 am est, picks can be made during this time of course

I do not feel comfortable going any shorter than 12 hours as we all have differing work schedules, some of us, myself specifically,, don't even know whether our day will be an 8 hour day, or a 12 hour day, or longer, until we get halfway into it.

I would also like to propose that once the first pick is made then the clock starts for everyone.

Clarification??

As of now, picks can be made whenever, but there's gotta be an official start date, so everyone is aware the draft is in progress. We can't expect the clock to start on pick #2, on the evening of the first night of the NFL draft, just because the guy holding #1 is now dead set on the RB the Phins draft next year. They guy number 2 picks, could still be sitting in the green room. So we either keep it as is, or we mandate no picks can be officially made until the official start, a week later.

Really wouldn't add much for me..I always carve out 5 minutes here, five minutes there to jump in and check on the drafts in progress. I may not have the time to update results and rosters all that often, but a quick check to see if the clock has expired on Steelerspride or not won't bother me much :)

Fair enough.

This is one that I don't really care about either way as the amount of time never really seemed to be a problem until this year. I voted to leave it alone, but if the majority go the other way that's perfectly fine with me. Hell all of my picks are 1st rounders anyway so I'll get 24 hours regardless.

I’m fine with it staying the same.

But I’d like it to be against the rules to complain about someone else taking their allotted time. Not this league, but another dynasty slow draft has a guy that accuses others of milking time to see if guys get hurt in camp. Which is funny, since he’s dead serious.

I'm also fine either way, I only brought it up as it seemed to be a reoccurring theme

I like this proposal. Caveat being someone whose just totally mia.

I really don’t think this matters. I don’t think anyone purposely takes the full clock around here. It’s simply a pick when you want to pick.

it’s not like we don’t finish the drafts months before the season starts.

Well when someone says something ahead of time, yes, no problems. It's the "no call no shows" that irritate people

I would also be in favor for no clock for the first 2 rounds. And then make a 6 hour clock for the rest. With sleeping in place.
