You need an intermediary. Start with League 1 and send all of your WRs and OLBs to my team and I'll take care of the rest of the red-tape.

As a reminder to everybody, get your draft boards ready. The draft starts on Friday at noon CST.

A couple more details about the draft.

1. It is worth reading Help->Draft. Seriously go read it now.

2. I don't remember the exact start-stop times but the people who go on the clock after a certain time don't have their clock expire until morning. Of course auto pick can keep things moving while you're asleep. All other aspects of the site are operational.

3. I'm going to turn on the email notification to let you know when you are on the clock. If you want to turn it off you can do so in Account Management -> email notification.

4. Always refresh the draft page and do one final check of your draft order before checking the autopick button.

A few questions just so I can clear some things up.
1: If a player on my roster did not play in 1 game the whole 2012 season, he is basically worthless correct? Better to drop that player?
2: If the daft autoselect is on, does it autopick by perceived need or best available?
3: How do we obtain free agents? Is there a waiver wire? Where can I find a list of available free agents?

So UDFA's are not draft eligible? Seems a little odd - shouldn't all rookies be in the draft pool?

If it wasn't endearing enough for my starting guard, Evan Mathis, to be rated #1 among guards by PFF (by a huge margin), he goes above and beyond the call of duty to win my heart here:

The 2012 draft is slightly different since it's retroactive, but it should contain any 2012 rookies who stuck on a roster and any who were drafted, regardless of whether they stuck on a roster.

In your scenario he is worthless in 2012, and it's your decision on whether to drop him or whether you think he's worth a roster spot because he might play in 2013.

It drafts the top player on your draft board. The draft autoselect does not pick who to draft, so you have to move names from the list on the left to the draft board in the middle. When they're in the middle, you can drag them up or down to get them in your preferred order.

We're going to have a bidding process for free agents. We haven't compiled the list yet, but it's anyone who played in 2012 who is not on a roster. (I guess that's the definition of a free agent, isn't it?)

Actually, I believe we agreed to only include rookies that were drafted in rounds 1-7 to maintain consistency with future rookie drafts. Normally our pool of draftable rookies will only be those drafted by NFL teams. UDFA will be available in free agent pools.

Oh. Okay. I express my sincere apologies for my misleading information.

Odd question since it's important this year. Does Josh Gordon (supplemental draft) go into the drafted rookies or the UDFA rookies?

A slight refinement is necessary here. If the player is injured all of 2012, this answer is correct. However, a second string G or QB that never sees the field, will play slightly better than a street free agent. The assumption is that the if someone makes an NFL roster as a second stringer their ability is greater than that of a street free agent. So that might be an additional reason to keep a player who did not play in 2012.

Seems like it would make sense to put him in the pool of draftable rookies. I'll do that tonight.

Just going to go over my roster real quick.

Green - set
Blue - could be better, but solid group
Brown - needs improvement
Red - I'm ****ed

OFFENSE

QB - Tom Brady- set here, but may look to take a guy in the draft for the future. Dumped Boller.

RB - Reggie Bush, Ahmad Bradshaw - both had good seasons in 2012 so I'm excited about what they can do. Released Ricky Williams.

FB - Owen Marecic - This guy didn't play much at all last year, and probably needs replaced. I'll keep him around just in case I feel like not playing with a fullback this year.

WR - Torrey Smith, Roddy White, Kenny Britt, Santonio Holmes, Brandon Banks, Anthony Armstrong - bad season for Santonio, but the other three should give me a fairly solid group. It'll be nice to see Britt playing this year. The other two guys are scrubs but I'll keep them around for kick returns and depth.

TE - Delanie Walker - I'm in bad shape here and I released Kellen Winslow, who currently isn't even on an NFL team. Definitely need to grab someone in the draft.

LT - Donald Penn, J'Marcus Webb, Jason Peters - Penn solidifies this position. Webb is a decent backup who may end up playing RT for me if I can't find one. I'll keep Peters around to see if he recovers this season.

LG - Evan Mathis - Mathis was the top G in football last season.[/B]

C - Lyle Sendlein, Brad Meester - Sendlein was injury prone and had a poor season. Brad Meester started every game and was god awful. I'm up shit creek here, give me a paddle that can snap the ball.

RG - Josh Sitton - It's nice to have Sitton back for another All-Pro level season.

RT - Jeremy Bridges, Brandon Keith - Kareem McKenzie's broke dick has been released. Bridges and Keith didn't play in 2012 so I'm ****ed. I need a RT. Perhaps I could flip Zane Beadles for one? Anyone?


Analysis: I'm in good shape apart from C and RT.


DEFENSE

DE - Charlies Johnson, Julius Peppers, Andre Carter, Sam Acho - I'm good here. Prepare for another year of tons of pressure from my defense, sandbox.

DT - Barry Cofield, Antonio Garay, Antonio Dixon - Cofield had a strong season, but Garay only gives me half a year and Dixon just 3 games. I'll need to add a body.

MLB - D'Qwell Jackson, EJ Henderson - Jackson was pretty bad and Henderson didn't play. I'll keep Henderson around just in case he signs with someone, but this looks bad.

OLB - Michael Boley, Thomas Davis, Dontay Moch - Fine here with my starters, and glad to see Davis back on his feet after missing almost all of last season. Need depth. Gonna keep Moch around for at least one more year as he's young.

CB - Devin McCourty, Josh Wilson, Captain Munnerlyn, DJ Moore, Michael Huff - Sean Smith is gone forever, hahaha! With the trade for Devin McCourty, I feel much better about this group.

FS - Dwight Lowery, Ronde Barber - I'm set here, as both players had good seasons. Please note that Barber switched to safety for his 2012 season, so please make that change in the database.

SS - Quinten Mikell, Husain Abdullah - Mikell had a huge bounce back year in 2012 and played all 16 games, so I'm happy with that. I'll keep Abdullah on the roster in case he does well in 2013. He didn't play in 2012.


Analysis: I really need a decent starter at MLB and another DT.


Team needs: C, RT, MLB, DT, K

Ideally I can flip a high pick for a C before the draft. I can get a kicker in free agency.

Following the same code, here are the Duluth Pillagers.

QB - Phillip Rivers, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Bruce Gradkowski

I was better off when Rivers was good and Fitzpatrick was promising, but whatever. It's not a terrible roster group. Anyone want Fitzpatrick as a one-year starter?

HB - Frank Gore, Leon Washington, Rashard Mendenhall, Tim Hightower, Maurice Morris

Sure, I gave up my 1st round pick for a 29 year-old running back, but this is my year, and I turned a weakness into a strength. Gore will shoulder the load and Washington will be around on third down.

FB - Jerome Felton, Spencer Larsen

Felton was a pro bowler this year. Good shape.

Randall Cobb, Desean Jackson, Hakeem Nicks, Harry Douglas, Eddie Royal

Jackson and Nicks had off years, but lo and behold, a new star has arisen from our ranks.

TE - Greg Olsen, Rob Housler

They're not the biggest stars, but they will actually do quite nicely.

LT - Jordan Gross

He's all I need.

G - Alex Boone, Stephen Peterman, Jason Pinkson, Vince Manuwai

Two strong starters, and Pinkston is there for depth.

C - Ryan Kalil, Kyle Cook

Now, this is a problem. These guys were supposed to be good, and they both missed much of the season. I need help here.

RT - Gosder Cherilus, Jeremy Trueblood, Ryan Harris, Lydon Murtha

Picked up Cherilus in a trade to strengthen this spot. I'm happy.

K - Nick Folk

Should do fine.

P - Brian Moorman

Should do fine.

FS - Chris Prosinski, Jim Leonhard, Reggie Smith

Need help here bad.

SS - William Moore, Bob Sanders

Moore is fine. Sanders is fictional.

CB - Corey Webster, Javier Arenas, Rashean Mathis, Andre Goodman

Um, little help? Webster is solid at one corner, but this once-strong unit fell apart this year.

OLB - Shaun Phillips, Jameel McClain

No depth, but my starters are fine. I wouldn't mind upgrading McClain and Phillips is on his way down.

[COLOR="rgb(65, 105, 225)"]MLB - Demeco Ryans, Bruce Carter, Pat Angerer
[/COLOR]
I like my depth and hope Carter can take the job. Willing to trade Ryans for the right price.

DE - Elvis Dumervil, Justin Tuck, Adrian Clayborn, Da'Quan Bowers, Daryl Tapp, Dave Tollefson, Eric Moore.

In the long run, I really like this group. In the short run, they were savaged by injuries so much that I had to trade for Tuck to plug the dyke. I'm happy, though.

DT - Kevin Williams, Kyle Williams, Corey Williams, Peria Jerry, Terrell McClain

I like my version of the Williams Wall.

**** it, why not.
