This was a huge cluster, hopefully Droppings has a better go at it.

Huge CF.

You have to stay online during the auction. ESPN has you autobidding on every nomination if you are not and you will be stuck with players you do not want.

It was constant off-on-off-on after we restarted due to RB10 not being online to start the draft and fricking up everything.

Draft tomorrow night.

Please have a 2-3 hour block clear so you are not offline because all hell breaks loose if you are not.

Email going out.

I'll be there.

Did y'all not have those issues with the draft last year? Sleeper auction works pretty well. This will be my first using ESPN.

Another guy failed to show and he auto bid his was to last place.

The issue last week was that ESPN also gave him BHall for $2 and some other top player for $1.

I was 12 minutes late due to a teething 10 month old.

Not to drag this out but how did one player on auto-bid mess everything else up?

I understand it would auto-bid for that absent player until they log in but everyone else should be normal, no?

I was wondering the same thing but didn’t want to poke the bear. It was full blown meltdown when I signed on. I had auto drafted 4 guys but would have been out of money. They should have just kept going but I guess they tried to stop the draft without actually pausing it and I ended up getting Breece for $2 and Tyreek for $1, which threw everything out of whack.

Had they just kept going I would have been fricked and ended up with a pretty bad team, and I wouldn’t have been able to complain about it because I was late.

ETA: The 2nd go wasn’t much better. There was a guy who auto drafted and his team is awful (like mine would have been) and another guy who swore he didn’t bid on Puka but ended up getting him.

Are you the auto draft team?

Auto-drafting pretty much bids up every player until they are finally out of money. It prevents the possibility of getting players slightly below value.

I paid $8 more for a player because someone temporarily lost connection and bid me up. Imagine that for the whole first round or two.

Also, and more importantly, it's lame.

ETA: I wasn't partaking in the melting that night, no big deal imo to pause the draft for a bit and get everyone in the draft room. Life happens.

I think this is my 3rd year in the league. I don’t know who is who so I was just wondering if you were the auto draft team.

I'm just messing with you. And yes I am an auto bid team.

The false start threw me off and I never recovered. Although I will say I aint as upset with my team as others may be.

Starting lineup: Bryce Young, CMC, Saquon, Mike Evans, James Cook, Josh Jacobs

There is a depth issue at every position besides RB.

Your RBs are stacked and Evans is solid. I’ll probably be flinging trade offers your way at some point.

Considering the rest of your team were all $1 you may be hurting at those other positions.

Makes a lot of sense. The Mock Drafts are trash for this reason.
