Also Jordy has an average draft price of $34 these days, $24 is a bargain.

no I know but that wasnt my question. i thought we set a deadline (which i thought was the start of the playoffs) where anyone picked up after that time couldnt be kept. it prevented guys from dumping their entire team to pick up prospective keepers, even if those keepers were guys no one wanted at the time.

1st trade of 2014 in the books!

danny and nick trade keepers, bell $6 for alshon $2 (barring injuries so trade is not official until 9/3)

with that said, do you think we should allow the potential of being able to trade points for keepers?

the more I thought about it the more it wouldn't work so forget this idea.  if there was a trade to be made NFL.com doesn't allow me to add more $ in the auction for somebody so it wouldn't work.

 

this trade is pretty telling.  im guessing alshon n bell probably would have went for about the same money so you have more faith in an injury prone RB behind a bad oline over what you thought was a top 5-10 wr?

 

Now before this gets out of hand with predraft trading... for this to work it needs to be a 1 for 1, each person keeping the 1 player traded correct?

Also....

Could we go to 2 keepers this year?

2 keepers? way to not get out of hand there josh haha

oh im not arguing cause i have plenty of keeper options too but it took 6 years to convince people that 1 keeper was a good idea....

if after the draft people enjoyed this keeper system and it is not a huge pain in the ass doing it on NFL.com I would def consider 2 keepers if everyone liked that idea.

 

the #1 thing is everyone needs to be on time and #2 is to pay attention.

I am going to email everyone the day before AND the day of the draft letting everyone know who is a kepper and who NOT to bid on.  Then during the 1st round I can pause the draft and I will make it every clear to not bid on that specific person.  but again, everyone has to be in the room on time for it otherwise the computer will screw it up.

CPT?

erm and mikey are bad and paul usually waits til 2 minutes before to sign on and usually has computer issues so hopefully everyone can sign on 15 min before since we're starting so late.

also, josh idk your boys situation but hopefully he doesn't have any issues as well wherever is he doing it from 

should you tell people 10 and make the draft for 1015? can you start it early if everyones on?

Was speaking with Nickerson, he said he won't be keeping anyone, so add Jordy back to the pool.

So far:
Nick: Le'Veon @$6
Danny: Alshon @$2
Fish: Maclin 22 @$2
Nickerson: Nobody
Mikey: Stafford @ $22

TBA:
Forster: We all know he aint keeping ****.
Me: All depends on the Gordon Verdict.
Kearns: This is actually not as cut and dry as I thought. AB at $18 isn't terrible, Foles at $2 is a steal but so is Toby Gerhart at $4. My money is still on Nick Foles though.
Ermyas: Cutler or Mathews. Something tells me Erm goes the RB route for sure.
Paul: Joique Bell @ $2 seems to be the only reasonable option here.
New Mike: I still say Rudolph @$4
Mouth: If we do allow the post playoff push pick up then it's $28 for Montee... We need to talk about this.

I'm just realizing we're like the illuminati of the fantasy league, controlling the happenings from behind the scenes.

Yeah, I suppose if I'm Forster I would just to feel secure in having a position locked up for cheap. But it's so ehhh

Who the hell is that?

Ughhhhhhh can we draft already? I fee like a crack head, NEED MY FIX

Luckily my home league is this Sunday night, so I'll get a bit of a fix, otherwise just our league. I need to find myself a third league.

how many games you think they're gonna be out for?

they wont be suspended any games this season. gotta let the trial process run its course first. if anything steelers would suspend him a game but i doubt that. im dissapointed by these guys but reading the internets you would think they killed someone.

these things pass over very quicky. the DUI is a bigger deal than the weed since its their first offense but jerome simpson was just suspended from his DUI from last november. if anything they will be suspended one game next season.

i dont even care about the fantasy ramifications. im more worried about the steelers who finally put everything together and were ready for a great season then these 2 idiots get arrested 2 weeks before it starts.

the worst part about this is that a) they were on their way to the airport to board a team plane meaning at the very least coaches and management were present and b) they might have to carry an extra RB now just in case which means they have to cut someone at another position. these guys caused a young player like josh mauro who worked his ass off over the preseason to go to the practice squad becuase they need his roster spot for no reason.


in the end, like i said no one remembers players first offense and the punishment wont be bad. i would like to smoke with these guys thou im sure that was some fya!!

good point but bowe was also arrested in november and his case was finished in april

plus bowe has been in the news before: "Bowe was previously suspended four games for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances in 2009."

lets hear it...

that's not too bad, I actually like 3-4 of those guys.

gronk obviously has huge potential but theres always the injury factor.

cooks could also put up huge numbers but he is still a rookie so it might take some time.  he'd be a good potential keeper in our league unless he gets bid up.

Welp, unless I get a last minute Injunction looks like it's gonna be Vereen @ $4
