Ok.. I have considered some offers but as the standout rookie is in a position im desperate in i will keep the number 1 pick and take :

Ezekiel Elliott - Dallas Cowboys

[Sheriff Fatman]

I have pmed Sicilian with a trade offer. Is it not valid to do it via pm?

For now, you can use PM's until I can get the site up and running to do trades.  It just needs a post to confirm any deals made.

[KarmaDope]

Sigh at me only getting online now, cant even trade out of the #2.

Ah well, I'll take Laquon Treadwell, MIN.

[TightEnd]

Pick 3 Corey Coleman wr. Pick 4 is up

[TightEnd]

[TightEnd]

Pick 5 Michael Thomas, WR, Saints

Pick 5 Michael Thomas, WR, Saints

Pick 6 is ForthThistle. He is currently blogging the Goliath until Monday and i very much doubt has even seen this thread for a while

may be worth Curtis sending him a text or email (if he has the details) rather than relying on PM on here

I've sent him a message via FB.

[ForthThistle]

My Pick is Will Fuller - WR Houston

Nest Up Sheriff

[Sheriff Fatman]

I've now begun the season on the Yahoo site so you should now all see your existing rosters showing (although they will all be shown on the bench at the moment).

Bizarrely the process of setting 30 keepers created a draft in which those players were all 'drafted' so you will see a very bizarre set of draft results where we somehow all picked our existing rosters.  In order for any team not to be disadvantaged by the keeper process I have added back some players you had originally selected as non-keepers to give everyone a full starting roster of 30 players (if they had 30 players to begin with).  Consequently, the keeper process has simply shed players from those managers who held more than 30 players due to IR slots.

There's a waiver period in progress at the moment which will end in a couple of days time.  Once this is complete, this will allow people to make their draft picks on the site in a similar way to last year (and seeing that no-one has yet advised of a player they intend to drop, this means I won't have to second guess anyone).  Initially, please ensure you only process your draft picks.  Do not make any general picks from free agency or post any waiver claims until I confirm you can do so.

With hindsight, I'm glad we've proceeded in this way, as it makes much more sense to do the draft offline and then do free agent pickups.  Yahoo is trying to account for all possible scenarios for keeper leagues in it's settings, which means it does some bizarre things behind the scenes at the start of the season.  From my experience, this seems to be the same on every site I've tried, but Yahoo seems to handle most things better than the others.  ESPN in comparison was a disaster area when it came to the 2nd season of a D-League.

In the draft, I'm taking Derrick Henry, RB, TEN with pick 1.07.

Tighty is next up with the last of his 3 1st round picks.

[TightEnd]

Sheriff there is a trade

I sent 1.08 to bobby1 in exchange for 1.09 and 2.09

bobby1 to confirm then pick

[bobby1]

First 2 rules for draft day, don't draft  a rookie WR that you had at around 4 in your draft order that's injured like last year. Don't give away any value trading. Epic fails.

With pick number 8 after trading up with Tighty I select Josh Doctson WR

Thanks
