Working from 3-12 next Sunday, can I set up my potential picks and then join in once I'm finished?

yeah but we'll be done by then. any chance you could take a break around the time it starts and pick on your phone?
and yeah you can set up potential picks, it's pretty easy and worth doing, though obviously not as good as being there

Jesus need to work on my pre-draft as I don't think I'll be able to get online for the actual thing. Mock draft was iffy:
QB: Bradford RB: Hill RB: Blount WR: Megatron WR: Jordan Matthews TE: Kelce Flex: Keenan Allen K: Who cares DEF: Philly
Bench: Charles Johnson, Witten, Devonta Freeman, Alex Smith, DEF, K
RB's were weak. I'm so reliant on my Eagles knowledge haha, I wanted to draft so many more Eagles players but it's stupid with the bye I'd be fucked

RBs run out real quick don't they.
I've gone receiver, receiver then rb in a few mock drafts when I'm one of the later picks and I end up with 2 amazing receivers but I'm never happy with my rbs.
Usually I can get Hyde and Ivory or similar but nothing overly impressive.

Yeah exactly, if you're lower down the draft order the depth at RB is pretty hard to predict, at least for me. But if you go WR, WR you seem to get 2 stud receivers no matter what

Yeah once you get past Lynch I'm not as comfortable using a first round pick on what's left of the RBs. I'd rather go WR, WR and get a combination of Megatron, Beckham, Bryant, Jones, Thomas and Green.
Brown is usually gone by the 7th pick.

Yeah Bollo when will we know? I'm planning all kinds of combinations to make me competitive. not until the night iirc notpropaganda i'm done talking about strategies but the zero RB method looks more and more appealing, be surprised if i reach for any of them if i'm picking outside of top 5. imo mental to reach for someone like jeremy hill ahead of megatron or demaryius or someone. still there's loads of WRs i'd feel good about taking in rounds 4-7ish but i'd be needing some amazing waiver wire business if i took them round 1 and 2. experimented with picking at 5 and taking brown + d.thomas/megatron/julio etc and my team was so sketchy outside of that, it's a risk. imo you're basically left needing a great waiver pick up to do well if you do that, not giving any hints but there's a fair few late WRs i fancy to do well, especially ones that will develop as it goes on. basically i'm praying for a top 5 pick so i can feel really good about my first pick. 4 or 5 would be perfect, much of a muchness between the top 5 RBs (AP, bell, lacy, charles, lynch fwiw and in fact i'd rather have the decision taken out of my hands if 3 of them have already gone) but i'd feel better about coming back for d.thomas or megatron than i would for alshon jeffery or mike evans. wouldn't rule out drafting just about anyone but i've already got a big list of players that i would only pick way below their ADP haha (average draft position)

I'm doing a draft tonight for a Boro league I joined, it was 20 quid in and then the guy decided it was going to be a fucking 20 team league.
I have no idea how I'm going to approach it. Imagine if you're picking 20th you're basically not going to have a stud RB or WR while everyone in the top 16-18 will have one.
Any one have ideas how I should attack it? I guess I'll have to take a QB much earlier than I usually would.
