I just went here and set this to two. I'm going to see what happens. If I don't autodraft immediately, it's broken. I set it for my next two picks.

I set this up for a new work league as well where we already have two or three other leagues that a majority of us participate in. It's going to be interesting to see how different people draft, but last year we had back to back drafts (Friday night, Saturday morning), and it definitely caused people to notice our draft tendencies. I snuck away with Adrian Peterson in the very late rounds in two of the leagues, but damned if someone didn't almost jump me 3-4 rounds in the last one.

I'm surprised to get Melvin Gordon at #7. I know he had injury problems at the end, but he was Gurley Tier before that, his name just isn't as shiny.

So was I. I almost mashed but thought he maybe was available because he might have literally died in the last couple hours so Googled to make sure he was still alive before tabbing to mash the draft button. Then I get JuJu after the turn in a 3WR 1pt reception league. I win.

I dunno how long it was on me. But Melvin Gordon, meet Antonio Brown/you were almost Mixon.

I have mixed feelings on Brown in Oakland. But, if he has been the best WR in football for the past 5 years. I'll take the over. And Amari Cooper sucks. Carr has a great deep ball.

It's a good pick. I was hoping he'd slide just a bit further, but I knew he'd probably be taken.

Actually, I briefly forgot it was Best Ball. AB84 is an excellent best ball pick half way in the 2nd. I happy.

I was hoping for Brown here, but I feel like Evans would be decent in best ball since he seems kind of boom or bustish.

Was glad to get Allen at 2, was hoping Cooper to Hilton made it back, but no luck there. Not too excited about Diggs, but we do have 3 WR, so it seemed the wise choice.

I love Diggs in the third. Second year with cousins, and he's got the talent.

In other news, one of our writers had to talk me out of going Kittle over Mixon, yesterday, and then Kittle came back to me. Everything's coming up Drunk!

So the autodraft worked pretty great, outside of me opening my phone right when I got on the clock and getting a huge air horn. Which was dumb, because it still autopicked for me. Why make the noise just to draft for me.

You had no chance at Hilton or Cooper. I took Hilton second knowing Spoeank wouldn't let him fall to me. In turn, Spoeank took Freeman to spite me. Little did he know AJ Green was the guy I really wanted. But if he'd taken Green, Cooper was gone to me.

I was close to grabbing Ertz instead of Damien Williams, but top tier TEs seem devalued in best ball. Don't have to worry about week to week consistency

Yea, the problem with TEs is that few are consistently good, but in best ball you don't really need consistent. I was close to grabbing Ertz both in the second round and third round.

I know, I know, conventional wisdom and wait for a quarterback and all that, but man, Pat Mahomes was just staring me in the face like a lost puppy begging me to take him at the bottom of the fourth.

It's working perfectly.

Edit: my average pick time is two seconds. The rest of you scrubs need to step up your game.

I'm just messing around. Two rounds a day is a great clip for a slow draft. I've just been queuing up 14 players after I draft and letting it work itself out.

Even when it’s a slow draft I still get impatient. The only other slow draft I’ve done is Drunk Nerds’ first Fish Bowl and the frustration of knowing your pick three in advance and just having to wait can be intense.

Then someone picks your guy in front of you and you fly into a :argh: rage and have to take your time lining up a proper substitute.
