The deadline I'm talking about is the one referenced by davidghall on the scouting page (before the draft is closed). The one you are quoting concerns the investment, is 6 days ago, and in the Help forum, so not official, but an help.
I was caught out by it too. Would think, unless it's complex (different for different locations???), put it in the listed calendar. And if it hasn't started processing yet, then leave it open (but no idea if that's the case). But no worries :-)
Typically draft picks arrive Monday morning to early afternoon in my experience.
