Official RJ Mock Draft Discussion Thread

Ed, the chat area appears to be stalled, and isn't updating the picks.

No idea why. You can check the recent picks on the Draft Board.

Chat area might be working again now, just lost the data from the last couple days.

[swampdragon]

do we have a bench and if yes, can we pick before filling out the active roster?

Yes and yes. Guys will just show up as another starter (so you'll suddenly have two 2Bs)

I can't say much good about the fantrax draft room...it's essentially crashed at least 4 times now, IIRC. Might work better for a straight draft or auction, but for a slow draft, no bueno...

[The Feral Slasher]

Decided to go with Nate Pearson, apparently a strong start in spring, although only 3 IP or something like that.

Many of the mixed league sleepers that I thought would technically be reserve round picks (24 - 35) have been gobbled up during the last few rounds. My late round draft plan has been shredded and now I feel like I'm just scrambling.

Agreed...losing the ability to scroll through the chat to see the recent picks is frustrating.

Yeah, not sure why that keeps happening.

Plus, I've had to reach out to them twice -- once, to move a player to another position mid-draft, and second, to change the clock. For a site with a ton of customizations, why you can't do either of those are beyond me.

It's not a big deal...no site is perfect (the Sportshub one that The Athletic/NFCB is using has worked pretty well, though) .

I appreciate you doing/hosting this for everyone, Revo...it's been a fun way to get back into the roto/baseball frame of mind for the upcoming season!

Yeah, this is a group of sharks that isn't afraid to go way over ADP. Since those players are gone though, you should tell us who they were

I was certainly hoping to wait another 4-5 rounds on Jordan Montgomery.

The last time I mentioned someone I liked that you or Revo took, either quoin or Cool Hand snatched a similar player that I really wanted, right before my pick. I'm not peeking out and risk getting sniped until I grab a few players currently in my queue.

A mock draft where you actively avoid discussion about players who are already picked, for fear that you might not get another player (on your mock team) has to be one of the most useless things I've ever heard of.

[joncarlos]

Pairing Oberg and Wade Davis on the turn is brilliant in a best ball league where you don't have to worry about which of them to start in a given week.
