ROD 2014 Mock Draft

[jsimcox]

so - what did we decide on how long the clock lasts?

12 hours?

 

[Alan]

Rams and Gators castigating me for my faux pas:
That photo was sent privately I told you that at the time

You're gonna have to stop taking selfies and sending them to me. I get confused as to which ones I can share.

At least I didn't post the one with you modeling that speedo.

I'm sure his mother was on an epidural at the time but what was his father taking?

I hope that Macky is at least short for something. Can't think what it would be though. Any ideas?

I believe we decided 24 hours when we first started this?

Was never finalized. 24 hours is way too long IMO.

I thought Phx agreed to that. I could be wrong. People have stuff going on in life. I could have never did 12 hours with my work schedule.

Hang on a second... That name doesn't even have Mack in it!!!

I'm not even going to give you a like for this. I mean really, everyone on this board probably already thought of this one and immediately discarded it. It's too obvious. It's like the second one I thought of. Right after Ed.

Really? 12 hours and you can't get in front of a computer or smart phone?

Anyway, I looked up the conversations on it and it was never finalized. Here you go:

How about 24 hours, but you can make the pick in the first minute if you want, then the clock starts for the next pick. I think a lot of picks will go pretty fast, but having a 24 hour window will give busy people time in the evening or whenever to get their pick in in case they cant in the morning or during the day or whenever.

12 Hours would work for me. That said, someone would have to pick right when I am going to work for 8 hours not to work (I'm also figuring in commuting time). But knowing my luck with Murphy's Law...

Now... Are you guys going to get the championship game up for tonight?

I would just encourage everyone to jab someone if they are posting and haven't made their pick. It'd be cool to get through all the rounds fairly quickly. At least that's my 2 cents worth.

As soon as possible, and I would say between 12 and 24 hours. Don't want to be too long so we can try to do multiple rounds, but also not too short so we have time.

Are we going to do it in a new thread? Maybe a sticky where only the draft picks can be posted, then a regular thread dedicated to comments and crap. Let me know when its starting since i have the first pick.

PM me trade offers!!!!

So are we doing 12 or 24 hours?

24 hours seems pretty fair to me.

I doubt it takes that long for picks to happen, but you have to give people a chance if they have work/family commitments.

I could be texted. I read them at breaks and lunch.. No cell's allowed in working environment

Quick question. How do we want to handle trade talks?
I'd guess private messages would work best (for privacy sake and to keep the thread size down) but want to know what everybody else thinks. If everybody wants to keep all related stuff open and in the thread that's fine too.

I would say messages, but I don't think they are quite private.

24hrs would work for me as I'm in a different time zone down here. Saying that though, I'm happy to message my top 5 picks to Broke as my pick approaches so if it happens overnight done here you guys aren't waiting for me to wake up!!!

Trade talks should be done by PM in my opinion.

I think he means PM

I understand your jealousy. I'm used to it.:fighting:

Really? 12 hours and you can't get in front of a computer or smart phone?

Anyway, I looked up the conversations on it and it was never finalized. Here you go:

Maybe Phx said that in the chat. I dunno, but I recall him also saying people have stuff going on in life too. I'll shoot him a PM and ask him what and where he said it. That cool?

No, there are times I can't get in front of a computer within 12 hours. Sometimes my work schedule can run 13 hours with commute included. it just depends on how busy we are. Making a living most definitely comes before getting on a PC to make my draft pick.

I also don't have, no the desire to have a smartphone. Besides, any type of cell phone is not allowed in my workplace. I can text on breaks or lunch and that's about it. And most times then, I'm texting and/or talking to my fiancee, as she works 10:00 PM to 6:00 to 8:00 AM.

We have 26 days until the draft. Not all people will take 24 hours. Some may need it. Just saying.

Once it's pointed out to you it just kind of jumps right out at you doesn't it?

Damn it, of course. I guess is shouldn't have skipped that free eyesight test last month...

 

[Mojo Ram]

We should schedule a "live" draft at some point for the 1st rd. Schedule it. Make it LEGIT

Was never finalized. 24 hours is way too long IMO.

When I originally started this thing I said it was up to the board. I proposed 12 or 24 hours as a way to make sure there was enough time for trades to happen. But no one traded anyway, so I was a moot point

Still plenty of picks to go, we could see some trading yet! (Other than that CRAZY one)

503 here was the other thread. I was wrong on Phx and it was Merlin who said it. I am busy, so my bad. Here's the linkage to the original thread though.

http://ramsondemand.com/threads/how-about-a-mock-draft-where-we-each-pick-a-team.24570/page-8

That said, you guys can do whatever you wish, but in this thread 24 hours was pretty much the consensus (or so I thought?). Please realize there are people participating that are not in the US. Much different time zones as Australia and etc..

Testing again.. lol
