Are you around Curtis, two of us have agreed a trade for the draft pick I am on the clock for but we cannot process it on the site and it needs to be made before 19.00.

The problem is if I select it and then we trade it afterwards I think I am going to have to drop a player to make it go thru so we need to trade the pick and the additional bits instead.

Anyone got a suggestion as to how to trade this years draft picks?

ok cheers, will see if I can get hold of him

I was unable to contact the other guy as I'm in the middle of nowhere and got no signal.

I have taken the player myself and had to drop a D to make it go thru, we had outlined what the trade was to Curtis a little earlier but were not sure how to process it.Hopefully we can sort the additional stuff out later as the pick had to be made by someone before 7 oclock.

[Tal]

Sorry. My bad.

I've offered you a trade for the player you've selected.

[bobby1]

I'm not sure whats happened there Tal, Ive got a mail saying you have accepted the trade and it is pending but then I have been able to pick up the player myself but had to drop someone else.

Hang fire a second, as I've just processed the trade including the pick, which means you've picked out of turn (as Tal now owns that pick).

I will undo the pick, and re-do it as Tal's draft pick, so don't do any trades.

For info to everyone else, I was aware of the deal going through.  The issue now is that the pick has been traded and made (and there was still 20mins available to do it).  Consequently, this is just applying a fix to correct it all.

Back in a sec.

Right, bobby1's pick has been undone and the trade has been processed, so Tal can now use the 4th round pick he's on the clock for (and there's 9 minutes left of clock time before Sicilian is free to make his pick.

Thanks Curtis

I have taken Ty Montgomery, wide receiver, green bay, dropping James Jones

Tighty on the clock?

And yes,  thanks Curtis

Sicilian on the clock now at 4.03.  You've just used Tighty's pick, which he traded to Phil.

My head hurts.

[bobby1]

Thanks Curtis, sorry for making it a mess there but thought taking the player would at least stop the next guy taking that player and then making it messier.

[Sheriff Fatman]

My head hurts.

Good job I've got my Commish note to track what's going on!

I realise the delay has been a frustration for everyone, but this is why the 24 hours is sometimes needed for the trades.  Phil is stuck somewhere in the Lake District struggling for signal and Tal has been busy at work all day, so it's been hard for them to communicate and get this done earlier.

Just waiting to hear now that Sicilian is deep-sea diving in the Maldives, or similar

A day of relative calm in the blondepoker draft belied the drama unfolding being the scenes. The Arkansas Gravediggers staff worked through the night to hammer out two deals, involving no fewer than five people walking through the famous Gravediggers patio doors for the first time. The Gravediggers Head of Recruitment didn't leave until nightfall:



First on the list was Green Bay Packers new boy, Ty Montgomery, after the 4.2 pick was traded for the second time, leaving the full list as it stands as:

1.01 Gordon
1.02 Gurley
1.03 Agholor
1.04 Yeldon
1.05 Cooper
1.06 Coleman
1.07 Kevin White
1.08 Devante Parker
1.09 Perriman
1.10 Ameer Abdullah

2.1 David Johnson
2.2 Jameis Winston
2.3 Marcus Mariota
2.4 Jaelen Strong
2.5 Phillip Dorsett
2.6 Dorial Green-Beckham
2.7 Devin Funchess
2.8 Duke Johnson
2.9 Javorius 'Buck' Allen
2.10 Maxx Williams

3.1 Matt Jones
3.2 Tyler Lockett
3.3 Karlos Williams
3.4 Jay Ajayi
3.5 Josh Robinson
3.6 David Cobb
3.7 Jeremy Langford
3.8 Chris Conley
3.9 Justin Hardy
3.10 Cameron Artis-Payne

4.1 Clive Walford
4.2 Ty Montgomery

Head Coach, Rex J. Talington III, was delighted to secure his man, commenting "We did our homework and found out this kid's 40 time is not his greatest weapon...he can actually fly"



Joining him are Marcus Wheaton and Deangelo Williams of the team that will finish second in the AFC North behind the Bengals, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and two tight ends: Antonio Gates and Martellus Bennett.

Talington spoke to draft correspondent, Jim White: "We have to be delighted with the business we have done in this window and now boast a very competitive team for 2015. Yes, we have lost some great guys in the process but I wish them well and I just hope Matt Stafford continues to find Megatron in the deep."



Asked what this means for long-suffering veteran, Kyle Rudolph, Talington was surprisingly candid in response: "He's been good for the Gravediggers, but he recognises it is probably time to move on. We're interested in hearing from teams, particularly those with picks for next year available. The lad knows he's not going to see much action in Arkansas and he still has a few years of top level play ahead of him."

For now, the Gravediggers Faithful are looking forward finally to challenging for honours. Just look at their little faces
