    Drafted last night in a 14 team league. It's the first time I've ever been in a league with more than 12. I'm pretty sure my strategy was fucked up.
  • Dr. KnOiTaLL
    Had my draft over the weekend. Pretty happy with the way it turned out. Unconventional draft style, so I'll post the round and pick in the round. Standard scoring league with passing TD's counting for 6 points and individual defensive players. QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR, TE, K, DEF, D, D, D, 6 BENCH

    1(5). Lacy
    2(12). Jeffery
    3(7). V. Jackson
    4(2). L Bell
    5(9). Gerhart
    6(4). Ryan
    7(11). Derrick Johnson (IDP)
    8(6). R Randle
    9(1). B Wagner (IDP)
    10(8). Jordan Reed
    11(3). P Worrilow (IDP)
    12(10). Josh Gordon
    13(5). G Jennings
    14(12). M Ingram
    15(7). A Dobson
    16(2). D Freeman
    17(9). J Tucker
    18(4). CLE D

    Thoughts? Pretty pleased with it overall!

    Question for people who have keeper leagues where your keeper is drafted in the round he was originally selected:

    Can you have draft pick trading?

    In my league we are contemplating moving from just our keepers being drafted in the 14th round, to where if you kept shady McCoy and he was a first round pick you "lose" your first round pick next season. But I don't see how you can enable draft pick trading with this style.

    I'm keeping McCoy and losing my 1st. We have draft pick trading but it must be an equal amount of picks given up by each side. I could trade my 2nd and 8th for a 3rd and 5th for example.

    What are you unsure about when it comes to trading picks? I'm confused as to where you're confused.

    Yeah I'm not sure I am wording this correctly haha

    So say in year 1 I draft McCoy in the first. Throughout that year I do not know if McCoy will be my keeper. Throughout that year, I get a trade offer where I give up my first round pick.

    Wouldn't by accepting that trade not allow me to keep shady?

    In your scenario, what if you decide you want to keep your second round pick (say McCoy breaks his fucking neck). Yet you already traded your second round pick this year. What do you do?

    I use the site called football guys. If you Google rate my team it'll pop up. Its always been accurate for me and weekly would send me ideas for the week. It's pretty cool.

    Since I'm commish, for my league I would say that if you accept a trade where you give up your first rounder, you'd be forfeiting the right to keep your previous 1st rounder (here it's McCoy).

    I see what you mean now.

    In that scenario I would give the owner two options: keep the player but forfeit your first rounder or you can't keep that player.
  • SportsAndLady
    Okay that makes sense. So basically you have to be careful about trading a draft pick with this setup

    Because it could prevent you from keeping the player drafted in that round.
  • SportsAndLady
    What if you trade away your first rounder, want to keep a player drafted in the first round, so you trade for someone else's first rounder. Can you now keep that player?

    I don't see why not, I would allow it. Since we do random draft orders every year, even with a keeper, I treat all picks from the same round the same. The last place team trading their 1st is the same as the first place team trading their 1st, IMO.

    See, we do it differently. Draft order determined by regular season finish from precious year.

    Id still allow it. No way to know where a team will finish when trade is made. ONLY way I would see a commish not seeing picks as equal is if the trade happens in the off-season where draft order is known 100%

    Yeah I would allow it too.

    I just hate draft pick trading altogether but my league loves it and I put everything up to a vote.
  • SportsAndLady
    We have the keeper round in the 14th round this is our leagues third season with keepers.

    We are voting on whether to wipe it clean next season and start the keepers rounds where your keeper was drafted.

    It's a 6-6 vote lol

    Ah yeah that completely different. Don't know how I'd approach that...

    Edit: probably what Laley said.

    Draft tomorrow night. I've done zero research this year. If someone would send me their tiers or a link to some decent ones I would give them one rep.

    I can send you mine later tonight. Its VERY generic, and doesnt stray too much from Yahoo!. I did it really quickly last night. My bigger money leagues arent for another 5 days, so I will spend more time before those ones. I have #1 pick in one, so I really need to do some strategy. You can never afford to wait on players making it back to you when the pick is 20+ players away...

    Running backs leave a lot to be desired. There's even been talk that Ridley doesn't make the final 53 man roster in New England. Not that I think that's an accurate assumption, but it's a scary thought given your roster.
