Live draft date/time

I'm go for it.

And I think "Reid's Roman Helmets" (don't ask unless you're really sure you want to know) and "Troy Brown's Boyz" can make that time as well.

[Slaughter]

I already get it. ... Unless they mean Andy Reid.. ah crap.

[[AK]The Beast]

He does mean Andy Reid...enjoy the mental image!

[Slaughter]

Crap, it is what I thought!

6:30 pm is fine with me.

Can't do it. So, the computer will choose automatically for me? (I've assigned player rankings)

If you ranked all the players.. the computer will pick the highest ranked player available - pending position availability.

For example.. lets say it is your pick and you have Joe QB ranked #16 and John RB ranked #17, but the QB position is already filled from a previous pick/ranking, it will skip the QB and pick the RB. So just make sure you double check your rankings and rank as many players manually as you can - otherwise it will pull from it's own "default" rankings - which are not the best by any means IMHO.

Hylander's got it right. The default rankings are based on last year's stats. I quoted this once before, but the manager of "Troy Brown's Boyz" put it best:

Because in yahoo's rankings some weight is given to last years stats, there are some guys who had halfway respectable seasons last year but will be lucky to be on a practice squad in september ranked in the top 150 (*cough* Doug Flutie, Troy Hambrick *cough*), and some high round rookies and legit younger guys buried way back in the rankings. Be sure to rank players as you see fit.

The other thing you can do with your rankings is block certain players entirely--for instance, a certain Philadelphia receiver upon whom I've wished various creative painful conditions shows up on my "block" list--my auto-picker won't choose him under any circumstances. Frankly, I've considered adding all of the division rivals of my favorite team to my block list, just to avoid being put in the awkward position of having to root for one of my hated rivals to have a good game.

T.O. HATER!..

Him and McNabb will go a long way, I think.
