there is a lot of suspense being a bottom feeder with the last pick - just seeing what will fall from above like a crab on the ocean floor lol

I am looking down the barrell for third round as well and the pool thins out pretty quickly among the guys that are more commonly chosen. I think we will be using some unfamiliar guys like we did two drafts ago. :party:

Forget how this works since I haven’t played one of these in so long but since it’s through one round now a person can be skipped after 2 hours? So I’m up?
