That’s the same thing I did last year (in a different round) and it didn’t go over that well - even people who acknowledged that it was a legal move within the rules didn’t like it - but I forgot about the whole thing and never held a vote about it. I don’t think anyone will care that much if we’re just talking about a middle round swap. I don’t know. Opinions? ---

Dumb question: are other peoples’ keepers going to be listed as “already drafted” while we’re doing the live draft? or do I have to remember who has been drafted AND kept ETA: Wait, does that mean I can’t keep David Johnson? Aw man, I would have loved him. ---

Yes, once keepers are declared I’ll enter the keepers into the system and they’ll be automatically drafted in the slot they’re kept with. They won’t be available, you can’t accidentally take them. I’m afraid so on the David Johnson thing. I wish there was something better we could do to new incoming players than to randomly assign them an old roster, but that’s how we’ve done it and the only thing offhand that makes sense. To be fair no one really has a lot of amazing keepers this year, although mine are very good. You can make your mark on your team by how you draft this year, which will allow you to set up your own keepers next year. It’s usually a good idea to use some of those late round picks on guys you think might be worth keeping next year. ---

We still need to hear keeper declarations from Dale, Sir T-Cups and his wife. The draft is tomorrow, in about 18 hours. ---

> [@The\_Mad\_Hermit](#): > > I’m about to go in for my heart catheterization, so I say good luck to all who are drafting. > > I’ll keep Tyreek Hill, Matt Ryan and Nelson Agholor Good luck with the medical stuff. Did you intend to keep Tyreek Hill in round 1? He’s listed on your eligible keepers as being (3), but as I clarified in the post, those were last year’s draft results, and so to keep a player this year requires a bump up of two rounds. You may not be around to answer that question, and plan to auto draft, so I’m not quite sure what to do in this situation. He’d be keeping Tyreek Hill at 9th overall, which would be early for him, which makes me think he misunderstood which round he’d be keeping him in. Or maybe he’s super high on Tyreek, and realizing that some top 10 picks are off the board, the #9 pick might not be a crazy place to take him. I don’t know. Opinions? ---

> [@Omniscient](#): > > I got 4 worthwhile keepers and can only use 3. Figure _someone_ might be willing to do a pick swap in the middle rounds in exchange for the keeper rights to a certain tight end. I remain opposed to this in principle. I thought we had actually voted on that last yea in Yahoo (not in SDMB thread) but I can’t find a record of it. Regardless - I will not raise a Johnny Ace style stink about it if it happens this year, but would like to at least put it to a formal rules vote so we remove ambiguity going forward.
