[TheDYVKX]

I got the Dolphins? I can live with that.

TRADING NDAMUKONG SUH. ASKING 7 FIRST ROUND PICKS PLUS THE REST OF YOUR 2017 DRAFT. IF YOU SAY NO, I'LL HAVE HIM STOMP YOUR FACE IN. CHOOSE WISELY.

 

[shaunpinney]

Damn!! I'm drafting 14 for the Vikings, and NO !ST Round Pick!! SHUCKS!!!@#$^^*()_+++)(**&^%##@#
At least I know how to Build around Bradford!

I guess you know their QB pretty well

 

[shaunpinney]

OK - so the Saints it is!

It's definitely homework time - I don't know too much about their roster or needs yet - and I don't think that I watched a single game they were in last season!! argggghhhh

 

[Riverumbbq]

Wow, the Factory of Sad!! Well, it's not as if they don;t need just about everything so this shouldn't be too hard!!

If you would prefer the Redskins, i'll trade teams with you.

 

[Tron]

The cowpokes? Why do you forsake me so?

Jk. At least it's not the texans for a 3rd year in a row lol

 

[Ramrocket]

If you would prefer the Redskins, i'll trade teams with you.

Thanks but I feel a god complex coming on!! The Browns can be saved with one good draft.........

jrry32 back with some clarification:
It keeps you and others from having to repost the list constantly. You put the draft picks in one thread with the google doc in the OP. You open it up for editing, so people can add their picks as they make them (and make a post in the thread). That way, people will be able to check the OP of that thread for the draft order and who has been drafted. Just seemed easier to me.

So you still appear to be asking everyone to visit multiple threads every time they make a pick. I don't think many would be happy with that. Those of us who have no life would probably find it more organized but from experience I've found that many of our GMs have trouble just checking in regularly.

But here's the thing, I don't want anybody else making changes to either the "players already chosen" list or the draft results because I'd simply have to spend an inordinate amount of time checking their work. I say inordinate because you can never know what changes they've made so you have to check and recheck everything. How would I even know if they made the changes they were required to make? When I copy the last version into a new post I know exactly what changes have been made (none) and what changes I've made (only those that are necessary and all those that are necessary). I even alert the next GMs that they're on the clock/on deck despite the fact that they've already been notified by the last picker. I do that because ultimately the responsibility for making this mock work is mine. Though I often need close supervision. Especially at night.

I'm not vehemently against multiple threads and we're having this discussion in public because something I might not be fond of might be highly popular with the other members so let's hear some feedback from whoever might decide to comment and see how that goes.

To be perfectly honest I do think the way we worked it last year was pretty good, and the only problem was getting the 'next up' GM to sign in - btw - have we discussed the length of time the draft 'window' is open for?

The colour co-ordination is also cool, I think if one person, the commissioner (@Alan) controls the master list then there is less chance of a mistake. we'll obviously all be keeping a keen eye on what's happening too, but I think the one thread solution is the easiest to manage for me - there are some days where I don't have the luxury to pop into multiple threads - and I know, again from the last couple of years as soon as its ROD draft time - it's the first thread I hit up in the morning and the last one I hit at night.

 

[shaunpinney]

I will have my own big board that I will have here on Google Docs and I will tick players off myself too - I'm happy to grant @Alan access to that list or a backup GM in the instance of keeping the board going if something unforeseen happens and I'm AWOL.

 

[Alan]

I just popped in for a quick check and then it's off to one of my many medical appointments but I'll answer more fully later. Course you'll probably be in bed by then. Slacker!:sleepz:

It's time for everyone to do their Homework, or they won't stand a chance against me!!:rolllaugh::mrburnsevil:

I for one like the way you have it set up already Alan!!

 

[JackDRams]

I'm open to sharing contact information. That way if youre on the clock, you can get a friendly "get your shit together" text letting you know.

 

[T-REX]

So I got the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, first thing first...we're going back to the creamsicle uniforms...let the draft begin!

Fair to say I'm elated with getting

Nay. They only have to visit one thread. The second thread exists for people who want to talk about the picks as they are made.

But here's the thing, I don't want anybody else making changes to either the "players already chosen" list or the draft results because I'd simply have to spend an inordinate amount of time checking their work. I say inordinate because you can never know what changes they've made so you have to check and recheck everything. How would I even know if they made the changes they were required to make?

I do that because ultimately the responsibility for making this mock work is mine. Though I often need close supervision. Especially at night.

I've done this before on another board. You just trust people to do it right. People live up to your expectations. When somebody makes a mistake, there are always people around who can alert them to it.(for example, drafting somebody who was already taken)

It is just less work for the person running the mock. But if you want to take that work on, who am I to stop you?
