SF Board Draft 2025 Comments & Rules
Posted: Sat Mar 15, 2025 8:02 pm
WELCOME TO THE 23st (at least) ANNUAL BEST DAY ON THE SITE!
We will have a soft start (no clock) on Sunday afternoon, March 16th.. The clock will start 8am Eastern on Monday morning, March 17th.
The clock will be a little shorter again this year: 90min max for rounds 1-3, 1 hour for 4-7. We've been 90% picking in 30 min or less the last few years, and it's only been a few outlier picks that held things up. If you miss your turn, you'll be skipped just like the real draft; you may pick any available player as soon as you are able to pick. The clock will run from 8AM-10pm Eastern, although special consideration given for west coasters in the AM. Picks can be made at any time.

AVAILABLE PLAYERS LIST (not comprehensive and sometimes slow to update), just to help keep track):
https://forumsnew.sportsandshit.com/vie ... =4&t=24222
***IMPORTANT NOTE***
Not all eligible players are listed and no guarantee all players listed are eligible, although pretty likely they are available if they made it to this list. It should be 99.9% correct, I will eliminate any prospect on the list that I know is not in the draft/returned to school. If you are in doubt, let me know and I will give you a ruling.
Pick only on the other thread makeed "PICKS ONLY". Announce any trades at the beginning of your pick selection post, if I haven't already done it for you.. If you are up for including a description, scouting report, photo, GIF, or video for your selection, go for it. If not, that's okay, too. I may add a photo for you if I have a good one.
This thread is perfect for questions, comments, corrections, and complaints, but I will also set up a site chat: A dedicated chat here on the site for talking amongst ourselves, trade notices, comments, etc. Access the chat at the bottom of the menu bar/white bars at the top on desktop or via the white bars button in the menu on mobile.
This thread and the chat room (see below) are great for questions or trade offers or comments. As always, I am happy to facilitate trade offers/negotiation or I can share text numbers between parties if you're so inclined. I'll be honest: even the craziest among us (you know who you are) are people I text with all year long, so I think we've more or less eliminated people you'd rather not have your number. Besides, I guess you can block them if it goes south. Anyway, that's for everyone to decide on their own.
This year we’ll have a dedicated chat for the draft comments, trade talk, etc.

THIS google drive spreadsheet HAS THE PICKS, PROSPECTS SELECTED, PROSPECTS AVAILABLE, PICKS BY TEAM< PICKS BY POSITION AND MORE. It may not be as up-to-date as the thread but I will try to keep it going. If anyone else would like to have the power to update it and has the time to do so, please let me know and I will give you editing permissions:

RULES:
Trading picks and SIGNED PLAYERS UNDER CONTRACT is allowed, but no future year picks, please. Please run the trades by me or SteelPerch if there's any doubt about their legality or fairness. I reserve the right to veto if there's a problem, especially when trading players. Be realistic enough and there will be no problems.
That said, I can also help facilitate a trade via texts or twitter for anyone who's hard to reach. At this point I have texts for 28 of you, I think, and twitter only for 2. Everyone is registered here so easy enough to contact each other, even for you non-social media Luddites. Try to get your trades roughed out before you're on the clock, because the receiving team doesn't get a fresh clock when the trade is made.
You can also send me a list of picks before your turn and I will use it to select for you. In fact, you can even send me lists with complicated instructions like : "if both these SS are gone, then pick this guy, unless the Browns pick a LB, in which case select the EDGE rusher first." You may laugh, but I have gotten more or less this instruction before.
Also note: I try not to see your listed players before I have to go to the list. I won't open your DM or scroll down your text if I get the gist you'll be listing players. I don't like to know before I pick, so I won't intentionally or unintentionally select your player and face your wrath. For that reason, if you have a question that's not a "picks list", be sure to use a subject line in DMs that doesn't say "my list".
I'm going to try and list the picks in a thread on twitter, so if you have a twitter handle, then please pass it on to me so I can tag you in the thread.
Any new real-life trades will be added if it seems appropriate. Trades that happen IRL after we start the draft will only be included if:
A. the picks haven't already been traded or used in this board draft AND
B. both parties involved agree
Cheers and good drafting to all!
