Well, if DD doesn't say "clock off" then we have to be clear what the deadline in the evening is. I believe it has always been "if the clock hits 10pm ET, prior to the three hours being up you don't have to pick until the next day"
I don't see the point in swimming upstream against the DD time parameters. We draft twice a year. Can't we just agree to go by the DD clock, however bizarre I might be?
