Houston, we’re a go.

Hamlet, your password is “cecil5”. I’ll run it while he’s away, etc.

mouthbreather, you’re up. I have your Top 10, so we can plug that in, in case you haven’t been able to log in.

Oh crap, I just predrafted so that I’m ready when **WL** wakes up, and I didn’t even realize that Rod Jones was still available.

I’m not saying that you’re not smart enough to figure this out yourself, **BabaBooey** , but be aware that you have to predraft round by round. That is, if you pick a bunch of guys and preorder them, they don’t “carry over” into the next round if they’re still available. You have to select them again. Not sure if there is any facility to make it easier.

You can predraft all 16 rounds, if you like. But there’s a max of (I think) 18 players per round. You can also cancel your predrafts round by round, if you feel you NEED to pick up Steve DeBerg in the 11th, but failed (for some reason) to predraft him earlier.

I don’t know about **BabaBooey’s** intelligence, **ShibbOleth** but I certainly appreciate that tidbit.

Oh, and what happened to WL’s grandiose claims of “predrafting” and “sending Munch piles of cash”?

I guess he only predrafted the six players that were taken in front of him. I can’t really argue with any of those picks, and have a strong inclination regards WL’s picks, but I hope my guy falls to me.

Oh, **mrchan** , I haven’t been following the NBA playoffs, but thought that you might be able to update me on the progress of your beloved Kings.

Okay, there’s 2 picks before me. I have 3 guys predrafted; 2 that I want and 1 that I don’t. Don’t make me sad, guys.

I assure you that I’m not intelligent enough to figure this thing out. I wish everyone did the draft thing like Yahoo did. At least this one’s better than the god awful [NFL.com](http://NFL.com) setup.

Yeah, Shibb…I’m a big fan of Green this year but taking him above some of the talent still available is quite a reach.

My Ohio-centric office mate talked me into picking Green. But he later said that he plays in a keeper league, so they have an entirely different selection criterium. And he appreciated your laughter.

In a keeper league, it’s not a bad call at all.
