I liked the change from last year where we are not following the same people throughout the draft and seeing them draft the player you want several times. I was halfway through the draft before I was waiting on multiple owners who needed to make multiple picks.

Regarding multiple picks: On Friday and Saturday I made my picks in the morning and given what happened after I got offline the night before I made 5 picks and then 3 picks. Checked back yesterday afternoon and I could make 2 picks but waited an hour to have 3 because I was looking to cover two positions and each team provided options with the third having my top choice. So, I waited, but it is not something I would do regularly. Today (so far) I have done single picks three times, and now I'm back to waiting. I don't anticipate delaying my picks again until the very end when I have to make those last picks and get under the cap.

My two cents as a first timer- the draft set-up is fine. Obviously recognize the potential advantage of waiting, each person can just weigh that as one of the many strategies at play. I'm impatient by nature so will probably pick when I can--but different strokes for different folks.

Mine as well, and I kind of love it. Pretty rapid, the help of chewy keeping it sorted, and the level of engagement is great. I was at work for a short time and had 5 picks back up all of a sudden. I can see where it could be a slight advantage if you have the right kind of brain, however I just found all the iterations overwhelming and like just blasting out a pick at a time as rapidly as possible. Great format overall and happy to be a part of it all.

One last thought. I get it that we all can't be available to pick right away and I just think it MIGHT help if u know u be away for a long time to at least post this is when I am expecting to be back as a courtesy is all. Or give some other player a list. I am sorry for bringing it up, but I guess I was just a little frustrated that I was checking back ALOT of times to see if I need to post my players and NOT HOLD up the draft on my part as I apparently did that 1st day. My apologies to ALL. Like I said before it is a great / fun draft to do and ermocito does a fantastic job running it. I will be quiet and now only post my picks. Thanks & sorry

I will be updating p1 and sheet Mon morning, as the place I'm running late for now has bad internet.

Timestamp on the spreadsheet of 2/8/2026 2:07 PM reflects the most recent update I made. That was the Larry Gura pick. Sorry I did not get more this afternoon but another league and a much bigger thing occupied my attention.
