We'll be on the clock starting tomorrow.

Just waiting on a reply on a trade offer. If I don’t hear anything by 6 pm EST, I’ll pick shortly after. If any others are keen, get those over the top offers in by then too! :)

ONLY reason I hate the trading. It slows things down. Plus getting 2 VERY Early draft picks seem like a huge thing

This is standard for this league. Do not expect the draft to begin until the actual posted dates. We will never be ahead or behind schedule. Any early picks are a bonus. The lag time is expected and built in.

And kelly1 runs aa smooth a draft as schwarze does. Top notch all around.

I’d say it’s been a mixed bag of results when people have made the trade for an extra early pick. I’d be curious if someone actually compared results for that.

I always send my Radical/Blockbuster trade proposals to everyone in the league...EVERYONE has an equal chance to say 'yes'...There is (most) always a small core group that respond positively...

FWIW, it's the guys that regularly do well who mostly show interest, and eventually make the trade...

I, OTOH, don't generally do so well...But then, I'm not the greatest of drafters...In spite of that, I will continue to offer up the trade because it makes things more interesting for me...

I know i am just saying it seems to me that it is a pretty good deal if you can score 2 of the top4 players on the board. not mad or saying it is underhanded. i guess I just would not have given up a first round but hey I finish toward the bottom. We all have different strategies. I love drafts GL to all
