Here we are into the last couple rounds of the draft, and we have already had 2 teams that let the 12 hour timer expire, and are about to get a 3rd.  What's up guys?  Does anyone care, or are people hoping to hold up the draft to get to this weekends games so they have a better idea of what player to take on a "flyer"?  I hope people wake up from their hybernation soon, we are about to head into my favorite season of the year.  FOOTBALL SEASON!!!!!!

I think what's going on is that these people are happy with their rosters and don't see any reason to draft a player they feel they will probably have to drop in a week or two anyway. Personally, I think this is very short sighted. I would like to use all of my picks if at all possible and maybe even pick up a player that really shines during the preseason and ends up getting a starting job somewhere. Since we have until the end of the month, it's worth it to draft an extra player or two until then.

So on that note, if someone wants to trade me their draft pick in this next round, let me know. Please don't try to get my better players for this. I might be willing to part with a draft pick for next year though. We'll see.

Finally, maybe if we cut the number of keepers down to 12 or 14 going into the off season, the draft might have more value this time of year. Just a thought. :-)
