    I also concur with letting Dizzy redo the 4th round pick at the same time as his 5th if he wants.

    Can we get some other managers to weigh in on allowing Dizzy to also retake the 4th round pick. It would be nice if it was a consensus before he makes his pick(s).

    Why would we allow a retake?

    To be clear, Dizzy hasn't asked to retake the 4th round pick.

    My thinking on why I suggested it, is that, in my opinion, it was a weak pick and was only 6 picks ago. It doesn't appear to me that any of the last 6 pickers were negatively impacted by Keyser's Round 4 pick. In fact, they benefited since it meant one more stronger pick was available to them. It is tough enough to inherit the picks of a previous manager in the middle of the draft, so my thinking was it might make it easier if we let him redo Keyser's last pick.

    It's not a hard suggestion, as Dizzy will have the Post Draft Squad Adjustment period to refine the drafted squad. Just my thinking.

    My thoughts are that lets him make it more his team and would not seem to effect the rest of us much as it is on his pick now, different than if it was not. Sort of a welcome gift before he sees we are all monsters.

    But perhaps Dizzy is happy with Cunha, who certainly has the potential to have a great year.

    My vote would be for Dizzy to start with Round 5, but I will abide the majority devision.

    Hey guys, thanks for the warm-ish welcome everyone. I'm perfectly fine with Cunha on my squad. I have posted my first pick, and I am hard at work on the rebrand.

    With @Hal having the very next pick, we certainly can't rule out the possibility that this "re-do Cunha offer" was just triple reverse psychology for the dastardly purpose of Hal scooping up Cunha immediately!
    :p:x3::cool::ROFLMAO:

    In any event, we are moving again. I'll be around under late afternoon pacific time, then unavailable for a few hours (when Bob will likely be sleeping anyway) before checking back in late.

    In between games and was able to make my pick. I'm around for another hour or so. If it doesn't come back by then, I'll keep checking as best as I can. Tarv and Dizzy can text me so if nothing else I can likely give my pick to one of them at that point.

    He's my new best friend!

    Sure is nice how the draft moves along so effortlessly when everyone works together.
