Now let's get this draft movng! This is fun. Nice interlude before ATGIV comes out.
I'm all for running a smooth darft, but I do not like to skip anyone, especially this early in the draft. Life has a way of getting in the way. In any case, try to use proxies when possible, and let people know if you are going to be away for a longer period of time.
I don't know if John explicitly stated it, but I'm assuming the clock will be OFF over the weekend?
Just for future reference, I will be in London on Monday/Tuesday, and may have sporadic access. I will endeavor to leave sufficient proxies to cover my picks just in case...
