Title: 2004 GBRFL2 Draft (Commentary Thread)
Post by StegRock on Aug 19th, 2004, 6:41pm
Fellas,

Here yas go!  You draft is "'officially' scheduled" to start at 9:00 p.m. (EST) tomorrow.  As such and as this is a "real" draft for a "real" league, you all should plan to have it all finished tomorrow night.  That said, there would be absolutely no harm in dudes' picking "early", i.e. anytime before 9:00 tomorrow night.  The only negative impact a dude's picking early can have is against himself by way of his potentially missing out on any developments between the time he picked and the "official" start of the draft.  The more important factor is not when it begins, but that it ends tomorrow night.  So, without Freddie Adu, ;) here is the 2004 GBRFL2 draft order:

1) Jeff West
2) Jimmy Carver
3) Jamie Josko
4) Gene Nestro
5) Jim O'Dell
6) Kirk Wallace
7) Jeremy Miller
8) Tony Onisko
9) Ray Matty
10) Keith Carroll

Good luck, all! [smiley=shamrock.gif]

REMINDER!!!

Guys, as this is a restocking draft, remember it does NOT go in snake format!!!  It goes 1 through 10 EVERY ROUND!!!

No problem, Kirk! [smiley=bow.gif] Why don't we use this one as a commentary and questions thread, which it already is turning into?  Here's your draft thread:

Thanks for setting this up for us Steg.  I'll get that payment for the #1 pick in the mail soon!  ;)

Anyway, since I got the first pick and knew exactly who I wanted with it... I figured I'd get started.  I would have listened to trade offers for any other pick, but 1.01 was signed, sealed, and now delivered.

Maybe you should send an e-mail to all in the league that the draft has started, maybe some people do not realize.  Nice pick!!

Hey guys, just making a quick pit stop.I've sent a short list of 3 to Philly. If those 3 are gone, my pick will have to wait until I get to the house,approx 3-4 hrs from now.

Thanks

Amen to that.  I am really surprised he fell that far.  It is appropriate that he goes to the New York fan.

The GBRFL draft is tomorrow.  I am curious to see how the top 7 picks will go.  I think the top 4 picks are a total crap shoot.  I predicted Julius Jones would go 5 and Eli would go 3 or 4, with Fitz going 3 or 4.  
Title: Re: 2004 GBRFL2 Draft (Commentary Thread)
Post by PrimeTime on Aug 20th, 2004, 3:26pm
It was purely a "need" thing for me.  I already have McNabb and Brooks who are relativity young QB's (28 yrs old I think) so any QB I add will be for bye weeks or future trade bait.

I figured I would stock up on a young RB for the future.  With LT2, A. Green, and Duce I didn't really need a guy who was staring this year.  I wanted Jackson or Kevin Jones but they were picked ahead of me.  I kind of  expected that so I traded for E. George (who stinks) so I can have the Dallas RB all year so whenever Jones takes over I am set.
Title: Re: 2004 GBRFL2 Draft (Commentary Thread)
Post by Philly on Aug 20th, 2004, 3:31pm
RB was my area of strength too (Shaun Alexander, Travis Henry, Chris Brown, Tyrone Wheatley), but I couldn't pass up Stephen Jackson at 1.01.  He's a franchise RB in the making.  Clearly he will get some starts this season if when Faulk gets hurt.  Plus he is a big, durable type of back who can run between the tackles, has the speed to go outside, and can catch the ball well too.

Gents,
My brother is going to log onto the system tonight and make my picks for me.  If my pick comes up while I am at work, I will make it.  I just wanted you to be aware of the situation.

Thanks and good luck.

Post by FourTwoOh on Aug 20th, 2004, 4:44pm
I definately went the "need pick" route. I'll be curious to find out when the draft is over just where others had Big Ben, but he was my clear cut #2 QB and I could not risk getting shut out the QB of the future market.

I had him ranked as my 7th overall and was worried (wink, wink) that I would be forced to take him at 1.07.

Guys, Ray (Chumpzilla) is flying in from Canada tonight.  I don't think he will be home until 6:00 or 7:00.  I will call him and let a message on his cell.  If he calls me when he lands I will post his pick.

If someone is looking to trade down, I have a 2.05 and 2.07 and see a player available I'd like.
Title: Re: 2004 GBRFL2 Draft (Commentary Thread)
Post by Tony_O on Aug 20th, 2004, 5:44pm
what would you be looking for in return for 2.4?
Title: Re: 2004 GBRFL2 Draft (Commentary Thread)
Post by bgsgfan on Aug 20th, 2004, 5:54pm
I messed up - its the 2.05.

I'd really like to move up (if a certain player is still available).  My 2.04 and 2.07 for one of these next few picks and a 3rd.

If that doesn't happen, I'd think about moving down.  That's a bit harder to figure out since I don't have another pick until the 6th round.  Maybe my 2.05 and 6.01 for your 2.08 and 4.08?  Its such a long drop to the 6th round that its hard to figure.

;D You sure got that right!

I started 2 additional drafts this moring {both slow board drafts} and there has been about 23 picks made combined. Out of 24 teams! Unreal.

Well, I'm now 4th on the list of those ahead of me trucking wise. Could find out anytime. Odds are better than 50/50 that I won't pick whatever it is up until tomorrow, so I may be around for an evening of not drafting as well.  :D

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we all agreed to an 8 hour time limit beginning today, right?
Title: Re: 2004 GBRFL2 Draft (Commentary Thread)
Post by Chumpzilla on Aug 23rd, 2004, 3:27pm
I agreed... although I think that's too long.  These long time lags may create unfair advantages that would not have been afforded had the draft been completed Friday as scheduled.  
Title: Re: 2004 GBRFL2 Draft (Commentary Thread)
Post by bgsgfan on Aug 23rd, 2004, 4:50pm
Here is an option.  Since we are only 3 rounds from completion, stop the draft right now.  Set a deadline of 24 hours from now.  Everyone sends proxy lists to a trusted member (I nominate Philly - you are welcome Jeff :D).  That person fills out the remaining draft based on the proxies.  Boom!  Thats it.  We are done.
Title: Re: 2004 GBRFL2 Draft (Commentary Thread)
Post by Chumpzilla on Aug 23rd, 2004, 5:41pm
Not a bad idea, however, knowing the draft is going on, we should be making a conscious effert to make our picks or at least have someone (or be in contact with someone) to make the picks on our behalf.  If we did this we wouldn't have to worry about sending proxy lists.  I personally dislike proxy lists because they can never account for the changing dynamics of a draft (doesn't apply to me in this case since I have one pick left).   Just my thoughts!    ;D

Also. I just want to apologize for Friday's night draft holdup.  My bother's PC went down at about 11pm, and I also found out that he didn't realize that the he had to look on Page 2 to see the draft continue which may have moved the draft along further.

I thought I had my bases covered, but ultimately I did not.  Here's to Travis Taylor!!  
Sorry again!!

No problem.  S*** happens, although it was frustrating not finishing the draft on Friday night.

Good luck with Travis Taylor.  I had him last year and I swear everytime I started him he had 1 or 2 catchs for about 20 yards.  Please start him when you play me :D

I just called Kirk and left a voicemail for him.  So he'll probably be calling back or logging in soon to make his pick.



Do we want to start the coaches round now?  There's no point in waiting until we're done round 9.

With 10.01, I'm dropping Dick Vermeil and selecting Mike Tice.

(Remember, you don't have to take a new coach if you're happy with the one you have.  Just log in and pass on your pick.)

Please note that I selected Eddie Kennison in round 6 (6.04).  BGSG fan just drafted him in round 9 .  He will need to make another selection. :o

In order to finish this draft, if the remaining people send me (or Philly) their picks then we can post them and be done. 8-)

It is not fair to wait much longer because those with remaining picks will get a benefit if there is a key injury. ;)
