I really thought we'd be further along in the draft by now. I guess we'd have to check, but I think this way beats the living piss out of how we used to do it, giving 24 hours to make a pick. At least this way if a bunch of guys are able to make picks before their slot, we know we only have to wait a few hours before the next guy has to have his pick in. 13 picks in a day is pretty solid. No offence, but 3 picks in 15 hrs. doesn't cut it. We might as well just make people stick to there times. Pretty apparent that the Staff wants to get this over with. Guess no one thinks of Jon waiten aroumd night and day to update.

I'm sure we all get a little impatient and want things to move a little quicker, but I don't think we can set draft times and then criticize people for meeting them. I think the pace is fine, although I do appreciate the sacrifices Jon makes at draft time.

BTW Joe, you can make your pick in about 15 minutes, cause we may be skipping one of those guys meeting their time. LOL Well that's a different situation. No excuse for anyone missing a pick, other than family emergency or natural disaster. Is it okay to remind guys that their turn is coming up or is that akin to shouting out players? Thanks to Jon and Gavin for all their work, but I totally agree that we can't get on guys for not picking before their slot. Some guys have other things to do and it's nice to know you can go on fifteen minutes before your pick, get updated and keep things moving rather than checking the board every five minutes to see if someone has picked.

If you want to take offence to a friendly reminder from someone whose been your friend for 10 years, that's your fukin problem not mine. But there will not be anymore reminders i'm done.
I don't think of my comments as passive aggressive or sarcastic, rather humorous wit.

I personally don't think there's any problem with a GM reminding another GM that his pick is up. That's a lot different than suggesting players.

I think it would be nice to have a limit of say 4 hours after person before you picks (with a grace period between say 10pm-7am EST) but that is easy for me to say since I am online all the time and don't want to deal picks so don't have to worry about trade talks.
I agree with Jon that I thought we would be done this faster and honestly would have thought we would be finishing up today but you have to respect that some people don't have the same access to the site as others and having them miss a pick because of limited access would really suck.

I had someone in the league sending me gentle reminders at my request when my slot was coming up. I was not offended in the least. I have no problem reminding people when their picks are up. It's a good thing.

Guys I'll need a little bit of time to make the next pick since the trade materialized last min and haven't had much time to prepare (also internet not working where I am so all the research being done through my phone). Hopefully won't take too long

It was him or Kempe for me. Decided to not try and outsmart myself and go bpa, but Pollock is on the rise and could be something special.

Thanks guys! I don't have another pick until late in the 4th round so I really wanted to do the research and make this pick count. It came down to Pollock and another player but when I watched Pollock's highlight reel I was sold.

I'll pick shortly, gents; thought McKeown was slippin' to me - should've known! Nice pick, Scott.
