yeah, this 5th round is going one pick a day. i'll volunteer to drop my 5th round pick if it means we can move on to some other stuff like the supplemental draft. cause i'll be drafting my 5th rounder in june at this pace.

Anyone can modify the round 5 thread so if you notice that someone's time is up then type in skipped beside their name and set the next OTC up. If we keep on top of this draft round we can get through it by Wednesday

i'm with shortening fifth round selections as they are pretty much minor league free agents at this point

Managers can always send their top 2 or 3 picks to the Admins and we'll post it for them. Being that it is the 5th round I doubt we'll have the same guys on our short lists.

Again, this is brutally slow! I understand people have lives but we've said over and over....send a list of your top guys to an admin so they can pick for you if you're not available.
My only suggestion to speed this up is to cut down the time limit to 2hrs. If you know you can't make it to a computer to check/draft, send a list of your top players to an admin so they can do it for you.
......at this pace we'll be 2 weeks into the season before we complete the draft.

Keep the OTC times on a fixed schedule would make things easier

i don't expect us to get through one more round before opening day, let alone 4 more rounds. i think the best option would be to end the draft and open it up to free agency.
we can hold a 24-hour window where if you want a player still out there, you can email a list to the commish or co-commish that you agree to use your waiver pick on said player. otherwise i think we should have a free for all with the remaining players out there. set a day and time, and sign who you want. we've already held the 1st round, so everyone's had the chance to draft 'their guy.' we need to speed this up. we've been drafting for a month.
i've got 3 guys out with injury and possibly 4 or 5 by the time sunday's game rolls around. i think it's fair to expect that i can add players in free agency to replace my injured guys before sunday's game.

just throwing out ideas. why don't we kill the draft and just go to free agency.

I think it will still be a fair "draft" if we finish this through free agent waivers. Once the season starts off then we can just take the waivers off
