FFDL Draft Thread 2024 

Post#1 » by theman » Sat Oct 19, 2024 2:47 am

Make your picks here. Also, list who you are dropping. Remember, your roster must be 15 players after your pick. Most teams are at 17 so most people will need to drop three (3) players. Players can NOT remain on the IL.

Three days till tip off. Let's see if we can get this done before them. 12 hours will be strictly enforce. If you can't make a pick send a list to the commissioner. The second round will be 8 hour time limit.

Oh Sabonis screwed up the draft order or was Floppy and I skipped because of the 12 hour rule. Or would that have been 24 hours. Can someone straighten this out? All I went by is that I was picking 3rd and my top 3 was Reed, Saar, and Castle.

Yes. Sobonis picked out of turn and then Ham thought he was up. When Ham picked I thought it was Floppy.

SO. Floppy do you want castle, sarr or someone else.

I would like Floppy to pick who he wants. I would also like to move this along. I would also like Floppy to stay in the league.

Sorry guys... I'm off to bed. If my turn comes up and I'm not up by then just go ahead and give me the highest ranked rookie.

That last sentence seems to indicate Castle might have been the pick anyway, so how about we give Floppy Castle and continue the draft?

If Floppy is coming back I am good with that. If he is not I would rather have Ham get Castle. That is the dilemma.

Okay, let's do that. Give Floppy Castle and put Ham back on the clock.

I'll take Sarr. If Floppy is still in and wants Saar, I will trade Sarr for Castle.

I drop the same players listed before.
