Our Live Draft is scheduled for Thursday, August 30th at 9:00pm EDT. The NFL season starts the following Thursday, September 6th.

I'd like as many people to be able to attend the draft as possible. Rather than making a big poll with 100 different times on it, I figured I'd start out with a nice simple one to see if any change to the time is needed.

Please cast your vote.

Jammer,

I'd like to attend but as things stand right now I have to work that night. I have the following Friday through Monday (7th through 10th)off. Prior to that week, I will have Monday & Tuesday off, Plus be home in plenty of time to draft on those weekends.

Do we want to do it a bit sooner? Sometimes things come up at the last minute, and we wont be able to get a live one going if that happens. Of course...do it too early and injuries can kill you.

I'd really like to do a live draft, but you know if its not in the cards...no biggie...I missed the baseball one and I'm still kicking all your %%%%%es anyhow.

So far it's a tie between can't make it but want to draft and I'm not even in the league but I really like poll! haha

Tater, don't worry about not making the draft, I've already pre-drafted for you. I've selected all of the Detroit Lions back-ups as your top picks. The good news is that the majority of them will probably be starting by week 6. The bad news is that they'll still be playing for the Lions.

Seriously though, I really didn't put too much thought into the draft time because I figured that there would be a good chance that it would be changing anyway. I figured that 1 week before the season was the absolute latest that I'd want to draft though. However I also didn't want to draft too soon due to the injury factor that you had mentioned. Usually the starters get the most minutes in week 3, so that would be the game that injuries might be a factor for teams' starters.

Well, if I get the Lions backups you draft for me...that means I get Drew Stanton. Oh wait, TFD will take all the Qb's. I'm screwed.

Ok, well, once other people respond, hopefully we can come up with a different time I can make.

I didn't vote because i'm not sure if i can make any date/time that's set out. the reason being is i am leaving my home in london and heading over to you guys in the states for some travel. so hopefully i'll be able to find an internet cafe at whatever time is planned.

otherwise i'll be mailing in my auto-picks. the only way i could guarantee being at the draft is if it was before i leave (before 20th august). but i don't expect any allowances to be made for me. if you make a date, i'll do my best to be there.

Same here. I"ll just have preselect all of my players.

What dates might work for you bezeach?

All the weekends and every week night except Thursdays.

Sounds good.

Did you notice how Jammer tried to set the draft on a night when the two teams who were ahead of him in baseball couldn't make it?

Now, I'm not saying he's corrupt...but...

Go easy on the commish guys. He's a rookie, and it's a thankless job.
