I'm sure it's the same people who never put a list together and don't even check the auto pick and then never show up to draft their guy.

Currently deadlocked, what about the following as a middle ground for people like George or anyone else who still wants to speed up the process

R1: 1:00 (no change)
R2: 0:30 (no change)
R3+: 0:15 (half)

An hour is just plain dumb! Either you are ready or you aren't (and won't be making the pick anyways). It's not like we don't have a week or so to prepare.

You can feel however you want, but you're obviously not getting what you want with the current vote. As much as you follow politics, you should know you'll have to concede something to make progress and then keep trying to get the original plan down the road

I'm not trying to impeach Billy over this vote. I just don't understand how there are that many against it, especially when the draft comes around and there a bunch of people calling for shorter draft timer. I honestly thought this was a slam dunk. And for the record, I didn't put this to a vote as I really didn't think it would go thru as most people are just okay with taking the whole timer with no list made or list pick selected. I'd be happy with 30 minutes each round, as once we get to the 3rd round most are on auto pick by then anyways.

I for the life of me do not understand how anyone can vote against this.The only rational for their freezing cold opinion is they must be trolling.

I am the new guy and should probably take the longest and I don't even use close to an hour to make a pick. It has to be those that do absolutely no prep and go into each pick completely blind?!?! IDK....

But it's funny how only the 30 minute guys are posting.
