    Everybody signed up.

    We have 4 people yet to vote. Tuesday at 10pm looks like the winning time at the moment.

    Strangely one person can do 9.30pm but not 10pm!!

    anyways, its ramping up now.

    I generally do the draft at work, as I have access to more servers and screens for the kind of processing power that is needed!

    Why are all the options late in the evening?
    We'll be there all night drafting if it starts after 10pm.

    I can see myself doing the first couple rounds and leaving the bulk to auto picks.

    Lads, the draft takes maximum 90 minutes, as long as people arent fluting around.

    so you go to bed at 11.30pm for one night.

    Is that so bad?

    Quite a few of us have kids (I think), so doing 7.30/8.00 just isn't possible.

    Ok lads,

    I'm happy that with a (quite remarkable) turnout of 15 people, we can set the draft for 10pm next Tuesday.

    See you all there.

    Mine disconnected too, quite unusual, but I got back in in time! Happy enough with my draft, certainly more depth in my team than last year. It's a hell of a lot harder to draft in a 16 team league, you hit second string an awful lot quicker!

    I always seem to pick arse end of the first round!

    Didn't do too badly, but I think I jumped on QB too soon and picked Brady in the 4th.
    Could have picked up a better RB there and still had Ryan available a few rounds later.

    QB: Aaron Rodgers, Josh McCown
    RB: Ray Rice, Stevan Ridley, Fred Jackson, James White
    WR: Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Crabtree, Kenny Stills, Jarrett Boykin, Steve Johnson
    TE: Julius Thomas
    PK: Mason Crosby
    TD: Carolina Panthers

    Considering where I drafted I'm reasonably happy with how it turned out. Need a lot of pleasant surprises for this to work.

    Drafted (first).

    QB: Cutler, Locker, Manziel
    RB: Shady, Stacy, McFadden
    WR:Torrey Smith, Welker, M.Evans, Tavon Austin, Malcolm Floyd
    TE: Gronk, Kelce
    K: None
    Def: Buffalo

    Second I picked Welker, I regretted it, I reached for him in the fifth round (via my own projections) and sure enough, 45 minutes later, he out until week 6. Should sort out his concussions though. With Gronk on board, Im very susceptible to big time injuries, aswell. Only picked manziel as it was the last pick of the draft. He'll come in handy somewhere.

    NFL.com emailed me, giving me an A grade in the draft, telling me I'm gonna finish tied for third. I'll take that!!!

    I think that was quite possibly my worst draft ever. I paid to much attention to avoiding having two teams the same. In another draft I had a good team which I could have replicated here but tried to avoid it cause didn't want to go all in.

    I allowed Other picks to throw me also. Will have a lot of work to do on waivers to avoid relegation this year.
