but it adds picks after the draft is over, correct? So only if you think your potential keeper would go undrafted does it make sense to leave open a keeper spot...

or duz I has it wrong?

So if you keep four players, those are essentially your first four picks. If you don’t feel like you have guys you’d pick in the first four rounds, only keeping 1 or 3 gives you back those picks. Because I’m keeping four, I won’t draft til the fifth round. Someone keeping one will have their second round pick as their “first” pick Wednesday.

Settings say you set the draft order; how far in advance will we know our draft slot?

I can't recall if in this league it was like an hour before the draft or not...

So it adds picks to the beginning? That changes everything.

Order of finish. Like the NFL. I’ll check to make sure it’s correct tonight.

Treat your keepers as your first four picks.

Draft is Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET. I’m not sure if I can be there.

I think I had set the keeper date for a week ago, so check your team. If you want someone from your team last year and didn’t get it in, PM me.

MO, thanks for taking care of this. I appreciate it!

Yeah! What he said! But I feel it even more genuine!

Damn - seems like one un-managed team still?

Much time as we have wasted spent here over the years we can't find a 10th owner?

The draft order is set. It's based on last year's results. Thanks to everyone for putting up with my late organization.

That's Mobster's team. He's an old Freak and a Facebook friend. I've left his team open. If he doesn't show up (and I've messaged him), I'll monitor that team, it will autodraft and no trades will be allowed with it. He's been in the league for a decade. Maybe next year I'll be a little more proactive.

Mobster is in, so we have all 10 active.

Auto draft gave me Cam Newton

Anyone want him?

I’ll give you Lamar Jackson and a box of peanuts.

For Dak Prescott or Mitchell Trubisky

The league limits on WR and RB are weird in this league. I guess it’s fine, but it kind of makes the tactic of streaming defenses impossible as most will decide to carry two instead of using that slot for a skill player.

It leaves serviceable waiver talent at the WR position if you suffer an injury, but without a need for a useless backup TE or 3rd string QB or a second kicker I left an empty slot on my bench a lot of the season.

It’s not bad necessarily, but it’s unusual. I drafted a QB3 and immediately dropped him. We’ll see if I find anything roster-worthy to add.
