just my .02...
1) Precedent was set when Brantley was picked by accident earlier in the draft. I know it isn't the perfect comparison, but there was a legitimate reasoning involved on that one as well... And Brantley wasn't anywhere near his ADP when he was taken.
2) Mahle was around his ADP and was also one of the top players on my list.
3) It is a tough situation all around.

We're also coming up to the next time limit here....
Somehow forgot about the Brantley precedent. Seems like months ago.
For the record, I would say drop Mahle and let him replace the pick at this point (can’t take anyone who was already drafted, before or after). But I’ll let the majority decide.
I'm going to be blunt on this response. Provide a list or pick in a timely fashion. Im done beating around the bush.
We asked plenty of times. This isn't a force of a pick but doing your job to allow others to do there's.
We gave 15hrs between picks, 5hrs longer than originally given. Don't be mad at us for your tardiness. My vote is to keep Mahle and move on.
You're kidding yourself if you think you were as responsive as everyone. I was at a visitation and funeral Thursday/Friday and still was able to provide a list. We have someone who is in Scotland providing a list so we can keep it going.
It's incredibly unfortunate what happened in your life, but come on...you def had a list in your head of who you wanted. You could have helped us out and provided a list/plan to someone
I sent an email Monday at 11am with the 10 hour rule. I'm sure there were countless private messages as well. And there is always the Yahoo Fantasy app which you are now finally responding to me on.
I feel for you Mavericks, life can be tough and get in the way sometimes. At the same time, sometimes things happen in drafts, be it live drafts, slow drafts, etc, where you get the wrong guy, or get autodrafted someone, and it continues to move forward.
You can trade your guy, drop him, etc, but at least you got value for your miss/mistake unlike some of us. Sorry to say but my vote is that we stick with the precedent and try to keep things moving.
