MITH- do we actually have a thread just for picks? Might be best to start one of those with the draft order in post 1.

Great One- I would prefer not to say yet. I want to see which ways the cards fall.

that team that just got Lesnar looks pretty solid IMO. Especially since they should be able to add another solid pick today.

The first two are in. Most drafts aren't this small so it's not usually doable, but I like having all unavailable wrestlers in one place.

well, if he has nightclass it should end no later than 730. he has a 1hr drive home, thus meaning he should have a pick in by no later than 9pm.

Why is team Bring It drafting 1.06 when the list shows them as 1.11

Species -where do you live? - and so- where are you going kart racing? I am about to start racing again for real now that I have moved back up to jersey. sprint karts, legends, modifieds,... whatever I can get my hands - and feet - on... I did it all before going off to college. But I even like to go play around with the fun stuff too. Either way...

This new computer is nice. I will probably be on it all day tomorrow, playing around, and hopefully making excellent draft picks.

Hey GO - I'm in the Sacramento area.....awaiting Arnold to take residence nearby ;-)

Check this out......place is state of the art . Gorgeous surroundings....don't like the tracks.....too short. 21 and 18 second laps....although reputedly once a week they combine the two into one bigger track. The place I used to go to had 31 second laps with a wider, longer track.

Where I went tonight: RPM - Race Place Motorsports

While not as fancy, from a track standpoint I preferred: Speedring Indoor Kart Racing

MITH -- since I'm West Coast, I'm sending you a queue for the morning. But if it hasn't gotten to me by 8 am Pacific, I can make the pick.....really, it's not rocket science at this point.

Mybe it's just the way I perceive it, but I think my draft position saw the first significant dropoff of the first round. The first 7 picks featured 5 World or WWE champions and top contenders, and also Jericho and Eddie, two of the company's top pets. Mysterio is up there, too, but doesn't get the mike time of of Gurrero or Y2J and is already cruiserweight champ. I was really hoping that someone would have Cena or Orton ranked a pew pegs lower, but thems the breaks.

Interesting pick with Haas, Goatlocker. IMO, he's one of the toughest top scorers to guage.

i am here, i came home from work early with a back injury. Unfortunately it is a legit one. I have a slightly herniated (sp) disk in my lower back and it is killing me. I will be able to make my pick as soon as it is my turn.

Adam H, depending on what you are thinking i might be willing to make a trade. LEt me know what you want to do.

what i find most interesting about GL's pick of Haas is how he falls into the rest of his roster.

GL has four guys on four different teams who should all be in the tag team mix for most of the upcoming season.

Sorry for the delay guys. Meetings will do that. Tough call at pick 10, so I went with the guy I actually like the most, the Whole F’n Show. Now I have Kane and RVD, and hope that they main event across the world for the next 365 days swapping titles and beating the crap out of each other.

then you must be a solid fantasy player and reputable addition to a league - and all the guys I see who have posted in this thread support that theory...

that being said...

I just put together a H2H Yahoo Football league which will have an AutoDraft and there are 9 spots available. You are all cordially invited as they say. Would love to get this filled by tonight so we can get the draft done and be ready by tomorrow morning.

Ref told me it would be good for people without much time (both of us) and we will basically all get a stud or two each and then tweak our rosters from there... trades, waivers, etc...

though I have spent plenty of time on here the last two days waiting around on this draft.

Ok guys...for a clarification...A person would get points for each of the vignettes he does on Monday nights, right?

Is there a baseline or standard for what exactly is a vignette? Length of time, etc?

he does get points everytime he appears on screen - there are some exceptions to this - i.e., if it's a non-speaking part, but a vignette qualifies by being on screen, if i am correct.

OK, this is my fault, I had no idea that when Kev sent me his Q, it was for the whole draft. In my defense, I saw that it was a long list but deliberately did not look through it beyond what I had to to get to the next available wrestler for his 1st round pick, because I felt it could give me some unfair insight into what his priorities are. If I had scrolled down, I would have seen where he wrote,

"That should be good for 4 rounds...if you are still picking after that, I leave it up to you.".

I regret the mistake. Sorry all.

I have sub-contracted my team out to Bobby the Brain Heenan in order to combat this new 2 headed Bret Hart team.

In other moves, Stacy Keibler’s older sister, recently divorced and back from a vacation in San Juan to catch an Expos game, will be part of my management team. She will periodically make Stacy available for commentary and photo shoots, so as to distract the other managers in this league, namely, our esteemed defending champion Species.

i drafted him last year, sat on him most of the year and waived him for LOD i also waived dragon for the other lod, turned out to be a bad transaction.

i screwed Hen.

i'm going to bed soon - long before the Jets game ends, thusly, long before MITH gets home.

does anyone want his queue?

hmmm...yea, i'm actually kinda glad i screw hen, as the hen is the female of the species. i suppose those that aren't screwing hen, are, busy, screwing Cock.

Smackdown wiggs. Their manager did a run in on the girls match (TE champ).

And so we're clear, I had no prior knowledge that Tree was going to impose a keeper change, remove it, then put it to vote. No knowledge whatsoever. I swear.

so, can I change my pick then before someone else picks? self-edit everything...
or trade it down to someone who wants to put him as more of a long term thing like Wiggs is doing with Edge?

Farn, you have a nice variety of women on your roster...

I am gonna be pretty pissed with myself if my pick is lost by next round. And there is a pretty good chance he will be.

Mike D - I hope so!

I forgot about the new 6 man roster thing too, affects the # of guys I can pick as long term investments.

Hey guys, we may be done here for awhile----Didn't someone have Kev's Q? Wasn't it MITH? And MITH sent his Q to Tree, but without Kev's Q, per Tree. Who screwed Hen.

Even if a pick gets made for Kev, mIST is next, which may not be until overnight.

Kev has picked Bradshaw, who is not available in the draft. I have to go to bed. I'll wait around a little while for someone else to respond since I'm not sure what to do. I dont think I feel right posting his next pick now that he has shown up and attempted to pick for himself, especially since he chose someone who, not only was different from who was next in line according to his que, but not even on his que at all.

Alright, it's late, I have to get up for work, I've been drinking and I'm not sure what to do, but it looks like I'm going to have to make a judgement call. I'm going to pick for Kev because it's already Friday and if I don't pick fo him it may be more than anotgher 24 hours befor mist is able to pick again and that would have us depending on the availability of people over the weekend to get this done on time.
