Okay, poll one is in the books, and option 2 won.

 

So as of now, we are keeping one player (based on last year's vote) and we give up one round ahead of when that player was drafted. As a follow up to this, I want to bring to the table the question of keeping a player who was drafted in the 1st round of last year. This is in particular a bit of an issue as you can't give up a round higher than the 1st round the player was taken. What I thought a potential option here, if we want to keep 1st rounders, would be to make the person keeping a 1st round player pick at the top of the round.

 

For example, I took Steven Jackson in the 1st last year. Lets say I want to keep him this year. I would move to the front of the draft, and give up my 1st round pick. Thus, my penalty for keeping that player is that I (a) give up max value (top pick) for him and ( my 2nd pick is not until the end of round two.

 

I am not sure how else we can effectively keep a round one player while keeping the same mentality of losing a round up. What I am going to put into this poll are three options (a) no first round keepers ( the above description and © other.

Slowly but surely we are getting there. I voted no 1st round keeper.

 

As before, while the poll will not reflect it, Papabear has said he also would vote for the first option of no 1st round keepers.

I voted #deuce

Btw...of my 83 posts, I think 70 is from the fantasy threads and ive been a member since the old board

LOL. Hey, that just means you need to talk on the boards more

 

By the way, I am not sure whether best to use a section on this board, or on the yahoo site, but one thing I missed last year in our FF league was a bit of trash talk (though my team was not really good enough to talk trash). Regardless, that is part of the fun with FF and something I would like to see more of this year.

Other leagues Im in, trash talking is quite the norm, name the format and Ill be there, I have a werid sense of humor

Nopper doesnt use the forum but he votes 1. Poll complete.

Are we sure yahoo offers a tool to let us do this? This seems like it could be very difficult to manually implement into the draft . Im not sure if anyone considered that yet.

you can manually draft a team,no idea about loosing rounds

Actually it looks like you can do it. The only thing is then we cant use the random draft order. In that case do we want to go by record last year or use a randomization web site to pick the draft order?
