Fantasy football

[Lucasjj]

So are we having the draft at EverBank? There was some ad to host your draft on last night's game. Fantasy football at Everbank sounds much better than "real" football at Everbank. And I think the commissioner picks up the tab....

You show up at the stadium and wait for the rest of us to get there.

I did think that was interesting until I saw you had to make reservations and you get tickets to a future game, which made me realize that it would all be expensive.

I will keep Tom Brady

I would like to officially change my keeper from Devonta Freeman to Drew Brees - I believe that would be giving up my 3rd round pick instead of my 1st round one

Do we have a location for a live draft or is everyone on their own this Thursday?

[Lucasjj]

All keepers are in. Only one person kept a keeper from last year (manasia - Tom Brady). His value is set from Yahoo's ADP which is 24.8 and makes him a 3rd round pick. All other players are set by their draft position last year. If something is incorrect, let me know.



Draft is scheduled for this Thursday at 7:30. Draft order is shown in the image above. Please note the few rule changes which took place for this year.

I am down for meeting up Thursday to do the draft and watch meaningless football. We just need a place with TV's, beer, food, and WiFi. I was thinking Mellow or Hoptinger for places in the core, but anywhere else with those features works for me. You can draft with pretty much any device now on Yahoo, so a phone or tablet will work if you don't have or want to bring a laptop.

Just found out I can't be available at draft time and will have to autodraft...do I need to do something to change my settings for this?  Thanks

You do not have to do anything. It will recognize that you are not there in the draft room and auto draft for you. If you want a little more control of the process you can add players to Preferred or Do Not Draft Lists. You can get there by mousing over "Draft" on the league site menu bar and selecting "Pre-Draft Rankings".

Just PM me your log-in name and PW and I'll handle it for you.

Today is draft day. Anyone have interest in drinking beer and drafting? This isn't some full blown draft event. Its more of an accouterments to making meaningless football interesting on a Thursday night. I assume most of us are around the core, but I am willing to get out wherever. I figure Mellow would be a good spot.

NRW - I still owe you a beer from a bet several seasons ago.

A tempting offer!

I will have kids tonight as my better half won't be home from work until around 8, so no offsite for me.

And LOL to the beer.  I had forgotten about it until you reminded me.  That's cool, maybe sometime before your first Championship and when Hell freezes over (whichever comes first) I'll collect.  The juice is still running.

This is basically my last night in town for the next week.  If a group will be at Mellow, I'll do my draft there.

LOL I thought your first sentence would be followed by something like: "gotta spend it with the family"

Silly me.

[Lucasjj]

If Mellow is a draft site, does anyone know if they have any spots to plug in? I will be on a laptop and my battery sucks. Even a quick draft could be dicey.

I would think in the large are to the right of the bar there would be some plugs. I can get there around 6ish to confirm and to get several beers down before the draft. I figure that I haven't had any success in the league drafting sober but maybe my luck will change if I am half in the bag.

Only Lake and I seem to be sure things at this point. I don't Lake wants to have dinner with just me, so if we can't get more people on board, I assume everyone will just draft from home.

It is smart that you are abiding by your lady this time. We don't need you getting dragged out of another draft again.
