Is it a one time draft or is it like last year where we go one at a time? If its a 1 time draft, this weekend isn't going to work great for me because I dont have 2 hours free. I have a few mins here and there though where I can post my picks (wont take me much time since I'm only going to draft the players i know)

And, Mulva destroyed us all picking 12th last year.

As for websites, I just use ESPN stats from last year and ignore the guys who graduated. Then pick what freshman I want to target.

Ok I saw it. I only have a few more quesitons:

1) When people are drafted will they be taken off of the website or do we just hae to keep track of everyone?
2) Are the players on the fantrax website (under players) all available to be picked? IE theyre in the conferences that are allowed.

Any player can be picked, but all conferences are included in the player pool. You only get 2 wildcard players from outside the 12 major conferences that are listed in the rules, so you definitely have to pay attention to which conference a guy is from.

And I don't think the players will be taken down until Az does it manually at the end. Since we aren't drafting through them, it won't know. Maybe Az can add them as we go, but that is asking a lot.

I would hope we could get it updated round to round or something, but not every pick.

I will try to update the Fantrax site as we go. It won't be pick by pick, but I will go in there and input the rosters as we go, if I can. I suggest everyone at least check that website out before we start. Obviously people are going to use their own sources and such to pick players, but at least become familar with it and what not.

Would love if it started tomorrow instead. I'm cracking open a beer and about to go stand outside the Browns bar here in Chicago to get a table.

Needless to say I will be hammered all day

Can't be as bad as me taking Wayne Selden in about the 4th round last year.

I was gonna start it at 8 PM tonight, but honestly, it's a 12-hour window between picks and we really have issues with if we skip people in round 1. So, I'll leave it at 8 PM, but S&L picks 5th, and say that's at 10 PM OTC, really you won't have your pick due until 2 PM tomorrow because no timer between 12-8AM.

dont mean to nag, but can we keep the discussion in this thread and not in the draft thread? I dont have much time to check and its hard to follow where we are with all of the discussion there. I dont want to hold us up when it is my turn and I think it would speed the process up as well in general.

Just out of curiosity, is trading picks permitted?

Like if I had wanted to go the RGIII route and offer my first 3 picks to Pick6 for the #1 and his 14th and 15th rounders or something like that to land Williams, would I have had the option to propose it? Just wondering since the highest scoring player is worth $25 by himself.

I honestly don't really care, but everyone has to have 15 players. So, however it works out, I don't see why not. Do people object?

Speaking of that, I think we should make a requirement that the "highest scorer" plays in like 75%+ of his team's total games to be eligible.

I don't think it's particularly relevant anymore for this year, because presumably if you think a guy is going to end up MVP you would take him with your first pick. Trades after the 1st round would just add more time to the process, and with 4000 players to choose from shouldn't be necessary.

True, and with that argument, I don't think it's worth giving up the #1 overall scorer to move up slightly in other spots. In college, things are much more up in the air performance-wise than other sports.

I wouldn't have had a problem with it.

I think we said they have to play in 20+ games which would be like 67%. I'm cool with 20+ games or 75%.
