No issues with a Wed or Thu draft for me. ---

The big league draft is actually sep 3 (possibly switching to sep 2), it’s the all pro draft that’s aug 26. the auction league also drafts Thursday the 28th. So of those, Wednesday is the best. ---

My mistake, I forgot to mention it. I’ll be throwing in my 15th round pick to even the numbers. ---

I’m here! Totally missed that the thread was open. I am fine with getting rid of keeper pick trades. I’ll be keeping Gio Bernard (2nd round cost), Reuben Randle (8th round cost, kept last year), and Martellus Bennett (10th). since I draft last in those rounds anyway. All three are being drafted higher than I expected; I wasn’t sure I’d be keeping _anyone_ at the end of last season. It’ll be weird to draft first after drafting dead last two years in a row. ---

The NFL is fucking ridiculous dragging the Gordon suspension out like this. I don’t know they’re going to announce whether he’s suspended or not by the time the deadline comes around. ---

Considering three months ago nobody thought he had a snowball’s chance in hell of taking a snap you should probably be happy. ---

I’m not going to be happy until he actually takes a snap. Things are looking a lot more positive, but if I end up keeping Gordon, and the NFL announces an indefinite suspension 2 days later, I get double screwed. ---

Under the circumstances I think we’d let you out of that one. ---

I don’t know - that’s kind of the point of deadlines. We had an issue last year where someone wanted to try to keep someone after he learned that an injury wasn’t so bad a day or two after the deadline, and I think we held it against him. I wouldn’t expect special treatment in this case, although obviously it would be appreciated. The NFL is really fucking over everyone involved here by delaying things - Gordon, the team, and fantasy players. ---

Yeah, but that’s different: he’d have been taking that guy away from _everyone else_. Here it’s only you that is affected by Gordon. ---

Any objections if Beef announces a 4th backup keeper, pending Gordon’s status? I’ll give it until the keeper deadline. ---

No objections. This is a pretty special case, considering it’s a possible year long ban and there seems to be no hurry in deciding the appeal. ---

Well I appreciate you guys giving me flexibility on this issue. There’s a chance they’ll announce the suspension before the deadline, and it’ll be moot, but if not… Can I say that if he’s suspended for any more than 6 games, I’d rather keep Kendall Wright in the 10th instead? Or is that too conditional? I’m concerned that I’ll make a suspended indefinitely/not suspended indefinitely statement, but then they issue an 8 game ban or something. Hopefully they’ll announce it soon and I can just make the decision. ---

Oh, right, my other keepers. Jordan Cameron in the 8th Zac Stacy in the 11th If suspended 6 games or less: Josh Gordon in the 5th Otherwise Kendall Wright in the 10th Edit: There’s a chance he might get a temporary restraining order or injunction against the NFL and play this year while he ties it in the courts like the Williams did with the StarCaps things. I would hope in that case, it’s obvious he’d be a keeper. So basically, if he’s going to play 10 games or more (ignoring injury obviously), I’m willing to spend a 5th on him. ---

I’ll keep Julius Thomas in the 14th… and that will be it for me. ---
