    Yep can advance at 8


    Ah no! Earliest I can get back to my house is probably half 7. That leaves me with maybe, 20 mins to get through Free Agency and scouting that I need to do.

    Those that have scouted, do you know who you are targeting yet?

    I have my 3 main guys earmarked (I'll surely get one of them in the first!) and a couple of lower round gems. It seems a much poorer draft than last year though from what I've scouted.

    I don't have any huge positions of need though so I'm not sure if many of my drafted guys will see much playing time, it's more to fill out the squad and get to 53 really.

    Have some definite targets although who I take depends on how FA goes

    Yeah thats fine. Only really need 5mins to set the board.
    Quick question: How do I do that? Will it allow me to tell the CPU my preferred order?

    8.15 is better. I need time to scout some players after JJ Watts leaves me with over 10 mill in cap space that I have nowhere to invest. Smith aswell. This free agency is either going to be immense or absolute crap.

    Yep, you can set a draft board mate. I think it's a setting on the home page once the advancement happens. If not, it's in some sort of draft option.

    Plenty of them in this draft mate, no idea if they're any good as I haven't scouted them but lots of them have 1st or 2nd round grades. What number are you picking at?

    I might try and get a mock draft up before tonight actually. If I get off here, stop procrastinating and get my work done it might help :pac:

    Well after Dez Byant rejected me,WR tops my list.

    On a side note for anyones interest,the Chargers will either be going WR,LT or QB with pick 3

    Even those with a decent QB will probably take him if they can :pac:

    Might be an idea for next year to make these FA selections run on draft order, so the human player with the lowest record gets first choice, second lowest gets second choice etc etc.

    I'll be on the mic tonight but below is a chatroom if anyone needs it.

    Might be handy for the guys who can't get on the mic to have a bit of banter during the draft or even if those on the mic want to set up a trade with those without one or something (and vice-versa).

    I know it was a good laugh on there for the last draft, especially when Pudsy wasn't happy that I grabbed Keithen Vincent 1 pick ahead of him :pac:

    4 of us in here atm if ppl wanna join.

    Also even though I've had 30 minutes to make my pick,I'm still gonna use the extra 2
