I need something to think about till we get our draft spots for the Main.
And those fast/slows move too damn fast for that!
Are you going to be in Vegas, Bill ?
I'm doing a slow/slow right now. It's not all it's cracked up to be Dan, although the time to think is a process you must put yourself through.
To give you an update, as we speak we are in Day 3 round 7 pick 10. I resigned myself to this pace when we started, it hasn't been all bad. I think it's a good group that hasn't gelled yet. Day one we zoomed through 2 and half rounds in a few hours and got stalled out at a spot in the middle. This player had proclaimed that he'd be taking his time after round 2, I wasn't sure what that meant, but that's where we stalled.
Day 2 we made it though to 5.5 and stalled out at the same spot with the now obligatory slow/slow statement, "What's the hurry, it's why they call it a slow draft. We have a month before the season starts". I immediately said, uh oh, "Houston do we have a problem"?
Day three started at me using an hour and a half as I picked at 6 am pacific time, so I felt guilty but was happy that it made it to me. It probably won't make it back to me today.
With this said, I don't think the place we've stalled out is going to be an ongoing problem, but that's just a hunch. We've had 10 -14 guys in the draft room most nights. Some are getting antsy, but I think this group will work it out and come in at the 17 -21 day mark.
The bottom line is you have to go in expecting no more that a 3 round per day pace which I did. It's not living up to it so far but it might. I'm gaining a lot of learning with all the down time. Good luck and enjoy the experiance, I know you'll be better for it.
