Perhaps its your celebrity status that has everyone nervous?

Separated at Birth?

Is this a live draft or does it go strickly off rankings? How would it work if I was not on and already had 2 QB's but my next 4 ranked players wer QB's? Would I end up with 6?
I usually never miss a draft, but making wife go to a High School football game Friday night have to take her out Saturday night.

Live draft and I believe your scenario is correct although you might be able to find addt'l info on the Yahoo site itself.

After you rank your players enter a mock draft before the official one. change draft order from yahoo default to your rankings. when the time comes don't make a selection, let the 2min clock wind down and yahoo will select for you based on how you ranked players. You can watch along or they will just send you an email with a breakdown of the fake draft. Run it about half a dozen times between then and now and you will get an idea of what the AI of the system will do in those situations.

Looks like everyone signed up.

Will we have a predetermined draft order or Yahoo random?

Jon, try a mock draft. It'll help a lot.
Yahoo gives you a list that you can sort by Yahoo rank, average pick, or by position player. Then you can slide players over to "your queue" and wait for your turn to draft.
There's all sorts of stuff to check out. Try the mock if you have time. It'll help. Scott came down and we did one together cause he's never drafted in yahoo, just espn. He liked it, and caught on real quick. It's really pretty simple.

Son of a *****!

My wife just called and her ride home from work tonight canceled on her and needs me to pick her at...8

I may make it back before it is over but for now I have set my picks so I hope it nets me a good team

jonumberone · 09-03-2010, 07:22 AM

Thanks Scott!

I was asking if you will be picking who gets what draft position or will yahoo do it?

I see.

Yahoo picks the draft order. It works kinda neat. It goes 1-10, then the tenth guy gets the 11th pick and it goes backwards till it gets to the first guy, then the first guy gets the next pick and it goes to the tenth, and so on.
It evens things up pretty good.

less than 24 hours to go until you can all concede.

AndyMadera · 09-04-2010, 12:50 AM

they're all aquiver with fear, andy

speaking of smack talk -- i hope we all visit this thread often during the course of the season to talk smack; fo r me, it's half the fun. the other half being whipping people's asses in the league.

sofaman · 09-04-2010, 04:56 AM

Just 13 hrs to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jonumberone · 09-04-2010, 07:13 AM

Hopefully smack talk amps up after the teams are selected and games begin!!

shilala · 09-04-2010, 07:54 AM

It's a good thing I checked this thread. I mentioned to Lisa that my draft was tomorrow night at 8. She said "that's tonight, honey."
I've been sick the last two days, we expect it's strep. I don't know what strep is, so I just ignored it. It's kinda cool, I can't remember the last two days.
Point being, I'm done sweating now.
It'd be a good time for you mooks to start.

shilala · 09-04-2010, 05:23 PM

I'm gonna be there. I'm wearing Lisa's underwear for good luck.
Vin, you gonna make it?

jonumberone · 09-04-2010, 05:51 PM

I'm in baby!!

Lets do this!: banger

AndyMadera · 09-04-2010, 07:50 PM
