Depends on what the most people can agree to. Current draft is set for Sun Sep 1st 5 PM BST.

 

[moomin]

I already let you know in a PM but I can make it on Sunday Sept 1st but I'm cool with any day as long as it's not too early in the day. Any time after 4PM BST is good for me.

LeVeon Bell out with looks like the dreaded lisfranc injury

Big blow for them-already missing half their backs as it is

 

[hoodlum]

Rapelisberger, Antonio Brown and Markus Wheaton are the only ones I'd touch on that team

The 40-yard dashes of Andrew Luck(4.59), Cam Newton (4.58) and RG3 (4.41) superimposed on one another

All combine 40s are electronically timed now. Chris Johnson has the official combine record at 4.24 I think

 

[hoodlum]

Rich Eisen, sports anchor, runs the 40 every combine. Here he's given a head start and still gets whupped by Luck, Newton and RG3

 

[hoodlum]

Btw, Eisen (43 years old) has run every year starting in 2005:

2005: 6.77 seconds
2006: 6.22
2007: 6.43
2008: 6.34
2009: 6.34
2010: 6.24
2011: 6.18
2012: 6.03
2013: 6.03

The slowest 40 time at the combine this year was Glenville State offensive lineman Mark Jackson. Jackson is 6'5", 328 pounds. Jackson ran a 5.65.

I 'love when they show his one against other people. Just shows how unbelievably athletic the players are, even the big ones!

Sept 1 is fine by me.

Rapelisberger, Antonio Brown and Markus Wheaton are the only ones I'd touch on that team

Emmanuel Sanders will score more TDs than Antonio Brown.

 

[furnish]

im in as usual of fantasy

 

[DFF]

Nice, now we have a full house. Everybody set your keepers, if you're keeping someone.

If you can't make the draft, please set your max players per position settings. Nobody wants 4 QBs and 2 Kickers.

 

[DFF]

Current keepers:
England Eagles - Adrian Peterson
Furnish Flyers - Aaron Rodgers
Moomin's Seahawks - LeSean McCoy
ABC Easy As RGIII - Marshawn Lynch
Team Hutch - Arian Foster
Team Oluwakayode - N/A (Don't blame you...)
Bristol Darrkspurs - Ray Rice
Waterford Werty - N/A
The Yids - MJD
Team Bowles - N/A

Some interesting picks, but it is a must get a RB year. Some good players will be dropping into the draft!

 

[tobi]

No keepers for me this year.

 

[DFF]

As I said, I don't blame you.

 

[furnish]

tempted by charles over rodgers. looking at my team im not sure how i was so rubbish last year.

 

[Darrkespur]

Do we have the draft order set yet or does that happen after we've finalised keepers?

Have set lots of auto-drafting stuff on in case I have no signal but hoping I can use the new drafting function of the app on Sunday, hope it doesn't clash with any good bands though!

 

[moomin]

Honestly that's what i would do if i were you. Rodgers is a godsend no doubt but having a solid RB1 is necessary to win. the drop off between Rodgers and a mid round QB (like an RG3 or a Matt Ryan) is a lot less than the drop off between Charles and a mid round RB. not to mention Charles will be gone in the first couple picks if you don't keep him where as Rodgers might still be around when its your pick in the 1st round

I'm going to randomize and set the order now, instead of the default one hour before the draft, so people have time to prepare for their position in the draft.
