TheRussianRocket. Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Well I did say we could keep anyone on are team cuz it was too hard for me to keep track of, but I do like it so you can't keep anyone who was drafted in round 1 or round 2. Traded players can be kept though. However I have a feeling that over half the league won't submit there keepers. Wanna just scratch the keeper idea altogether? It'll make the draft funner and agree that there will be peoole that don't submit. Draft order you can go according from records last year. If someone prefers one spot over another, maybe give them the option to choose where they pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traded players can be kept though. However I have a feeling that over half the league won't submit there keepers. We can go with 2 options. A. Give everyone one more email/post in this thread as a fair warning to submit their keepers and that the keeper can't be anyone they drafted in the first 3 rounds. (This is easy to keep track of through the Draft Recap tab since it shows our draft from last year round by round and you just check to make sure the players a team submitted isn't from the first 3 rounds). And anyone who doesn't submit a keeper, sucks for them, they can just draft in that round instead. So just have 2 tabs open, one with that draft recap screen, and one with everyone's submitted keepers and just quickly check off. Or B. Scratch the keeper for this year, have a snake order draft based on last year's standings. Edited May 14, 2015 by NucksPatsFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreFan1 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Am I the only one that remembers the one guy joking in the texts about going to ESPN about the whole thing? I doubt he was going to ESPN to break the news that he and/or the other guy is overweight and trying to lose a few kg./lbs of fat. The balls were deflated. If Brady is smart, he'll keep denying it for a long time. I think it's more of a mental thing with the QBs that deflate the balls rather than an enhanced performance thing. Brady is not the only one who has ever done it. If the Bills' QB's feel that they need to hump the footballs before every game in order to at least get into the playoffs, I'll buy them the Viagra and keep a lookout for the refs while they go to town on the pigskin.

Once people have submitted their keepers, just ensure none of the 3 guys listed beside their name here is on their keepers list.

NucksPatsFan Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Yeah I'm easy as which way we go. I just want that #1 pick . I believe I have the 1st overall pick if we're going according to standings.

I think something weird went on with the draft recap though. No Lesean McCoy or Jamal Charles in the first 3 rounds last year and somebody took Terrance Williams?

NucksPatsFan Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I thought i did cuz i won all my games in the consolation playoffs? Or am i off on that and make that up in my head? Usually it just goes by standings, so worst record gets 1st overall, second worst record gets 2nd, etc. And then the teams that make the playoffs get seeded according to how they're eliminated. So if the 4th and 7th seeds both get eliminated in the 1st round, the 7th seed would get the draft selection before the 4th seed based on record. So does this mean I can still take Matt Stafford?

According to the Draft Recap, you took Stafford in the first 3 rounds so you can't keep him. I just went based off of what the draft recap on ESPN said. Maybe some thing's did get changed when we switched to ESPN because some people's top 3 picks did look questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmen81 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Ya the draft recap is completely wrong. When I was self drafting the teams I didn't do it in order. The real order is here. http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/tools/viewmessage?leagueId=1597063&typeId=0&topicId=0&messageId=7 Canuckfan_21 is right he does get the 1st overall. After round 1 it goes back in order of finish in the standings. I did make a post earlier asking if someone wants to help me with something in regards to setting up the draft. I would make you league manager and can tell you what you need to do later. Edited May 15, 2015 by gmen81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmen81 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) I have no idea why it's not letting me copy and paste the 1st 3 rounds on my phone. Once I get on my laptop I will post last years first 3 rounds on here. Or I'll individually PM or email everyone players that they can't keep.

gmen81 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Now since it is a keeper league there will be no snake draft. Now ESPN for some reason doesn't have it setup where you can draft 1st and then 13th. So we need to manually makes trades with the proper person in order to set that up properly. This is where I need help. It can be done by the League Manager, but i just need help figuring out which teams needs to trade with each other.
