jclee4 532 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I've never done a mock draft but I'm really looking forward to trying it out this year. Does anyone know when Espn or yahoo opens it up for practice? Around September or October? Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone know when Espn or yahoo opens it up for practice? Around September or October? I got bored at work today and tried to find this same thing out. lol You can always start up a mock on this forum. You'll find 11 other guys to make it work, no problem.

Legitnguyen 20 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Not sure about espn. But as soon as yahoo opens, their mock drafts are available. In past years I've seen yahoo open in the last week of aug., first week of sept and the latest the second week of sept. like last year. So I would assume in the next 1-3 weeks we can start mock drafting. Although I would be open in doing another mock draft here before mock drafts open. The last mock draft I was in on here didn't finish for what ever reasons and I felt I had a pretty good team Link to post Share on other sites
bonezi89 406 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Just messaged Yahoo to find out hopefully a concrete date we can look forward to Link to post Share on other sites

battaginlemon 598 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 If I recall correctly, last year Yahoo opened on Sempember 16th. But there was a delay due to the new layout changes, so they may start earlier this time, hopefully in a couple of weeks Link to post Share on other sites

I gad the same problem with the 8cat H2H mock draft. don't know if I can blame the other managers, since we had some troubles with the difference in time zone for some managers. I'm open for another 8cat H2H snake draft if other people want to participate. If enough people want to join we can maybe split by timezone to speed things up. Link to post Share on other sites
terribleswedes 406 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I'm also up for another mock, any snake draft format. Link to post Share on other sites
Kaboom 3,244 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I'm also up for another mock, any snake draft format. Me too. I need to make up for the Vegas trip during the last mock. No LV this time, promise. So far we have TerribleSwedes, ShaHerpes, Letinguyen, Kaboom. We probably need a new thread so we aren't hijacking this one. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm up for one more draft before online mocks begins. I was part of that inconclusive draft and although it was painfully slow at times, all in all I think it was really useful for me.

aaa1 560 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 ESPN opens mocks the first day you can draft, which is sep 17. HOWEVER!!! Last year I called ESPNs fantasy help line about a week before the first leagues were set to draft, and they actually opened up the mock draft lobby early for me (be very polite if you do this). Took about 10 minutes including hold time, if you guys are itching to mock I would give them a call once the first set of rankings come out. Link to post Share on other sites
