Am I correct that when I draft, I will be prompted to drop a player? My team is full, so I want to make sure.

No, you will not have to cut a guy. The roster will be expanded by three for the three rounds of the draft. Our league is an "all-keeper" league. You have the option to keep EVERYONE on your team. Rosters expand by 3 slots each season (dunno if there is, or will be, an eventual cap on that). In order to cut players and resign new ones, you can do that after the draft and during the season as well.

OK - I thought we had a limit on the number of players already? As long as I can draft I'm fine!

Here is the draft order if you did not already see it on ESPN's site:

3. Walkin' Dudes (Lookwhoitis), 6-10
4. Waste Lands Blaine's Pains (Jason*), 6-10
5. Ben Staad Bears, 7-9
6. The Derry's Rejects (thegunslinger41), 8-8
7. Rube's .45s, 8-7-1
8. The Forbidden Zone (Doctor Zaius), 9-7
9. The La-Z-Boys (Joe*), 8-8, Fourth-Place
10. Equus Asinus (SkippyDo23), 11-5, Third-Place
11. Garrell's Raiders, 12-3-1, League Runner-up
12. Death by Snu Snu (Kent*), 10-6, League Champion

BTW, as we learned last year, if you do not have a kicker or defense on your team currently then ESPN's draft software will make you take one with one of your picks. I know of at least one team in that situation right now. The teams are locked but if you want me to put a kicker on your team so you do not have to draft one then let me know. PM me the player you want and the one you want to drop. This applies only to this situation. Every other player will either need to be drafted or picked up after the draft.

My team is Bethlehem Steel, not Mid World Mediocrity. Hope I still get first pick.

Sorry. I switched yours with SpaceMaN's. They were both new names so I should have looked closer. You still draft first.

The plan was to cut it off the year we hit 31 players but I may do it earlier. This year you do not need to worry about it though.

[RUBE]

Would anyone care if we had the draft Saturday instead? Jason has another draft Sunday. Let me know which y'all would prefer.

[ELazansky]

I'm good either evening at 8 EST

I figure we should let it ride until 31 like was originally specified. I could just not remember what the number was...

[RUBE]

It's going to stay Sunday unless someone else has a conflict.

I just found out I have another draft at the exact same time Sunday Aug 30th at 8pm, so I'd be down for a change to saturday night. If I have to I can do both at the same time as our draft isn't many rounds (and I know im definitely picking 1 of 3 players withmy first pick)

[RUBE]

Seeing how I haven't received any emails or messages about a conflict with Saturday, I will change the draft date to this Saturday night. I hope everyone has looked at who they want to draft because that is less than four days away.

[Lookwhoitis]

It is only three rounds correct? Shouldn't be too hard to get through...

Looking forward to it.

[RUBE]

Yes it is three rounds but I don't want someone to auto-draft because they weren't paying attention to emails.

[Ben Staad]

I'm in unless something comes up.

[RUBE]

Less than two days until the draft...

BTW, while adding the three spots for the new players on our teams I also upped the position limits a little and I did something I meant to do last year: I added an IR position. The position will allow you to store a player as long as they are listed "out" and not have it count against your 25 roster spots. Seeing players like Woodhead in the available players reminded me that this was something we need. Now you can hold onto one injured player.

[Ben Staad]

Glad you added the IR position.

[RUBE]

19 hours until the draft...

It has been quiet in here so I sent another reminder about the draft. I hope everyone has checked their emails recently. I have to work most of the day tomorrow so I will get this in now: Good luck with your drafts.

[Ben Staad]

Sorry I missed the draft. I am using a new computer and having issues.

[RUBE]

Well you got two decent RBs and a possible starting WR for Baltimore with auto-draft. Garrell is going to try to trade you for Yeldon.

[SpaceMaN]

For the record i did know it would make me draft a kicker, i'm fine with that. I got basically all young people. And suck ass kaepernick. On the block, possibly for a punter.

[RUBE]

I hope everyone got what they were looking for in the draft. I will post the ESPN draft grades later once they are ready.

Now that it is over, all the rest of the players will drop to waivers. If there is still someone you want, don't forget to put in your waiver request. Trades will be available again as well, so y'all can start making deals.

[Lookwhoitis]

I took two guys with injury issues but tremendous upside. But it is a keeper league so I'm looking forward to them having fruitful careers on my team.

I'm loaded with young WR talent, so if you are in need be sure to give me a jingle.

[Ben Staad]

That is good. Still can't log in. I will need to try and get my old computer running.

[SpaceMaN]

I swear you guys have no concept of even trades.

[Ben Staad]

I swear you guys have no concept of even trades.

So....Denard Robinson for Adrian P is not a good trade then?

[SpaceMaN]

Thats about whats been offered. Mostly offering my non forum brother, tryin to get leveon bell and 3 other people for a possibly good wr and 3 scrubs... Why offer that when you see its not fair?
