more info about draft Friday 8/26 1pm EDT / 10 AM AZ Time

Draft

Live Draft Instructions
After you join or create a Live Draft league, you will have the opportunity to make changes to NFL.com's default Rank List, which is a list of all NFL players that are eligible to be drafted, ranked from best to worst by our Fantasy experts.

It is recommended that, prior to your draft, you organize the Rank List according to your own player preferences. However you are welcome to leave the Rank List in the order our experts have provided. During the live draft NFL.com will use your Rank List as a backup in case your time limit expires before you make a pick (explained below). If you decide to make changes to your Rank List, you will have until approximately 24 hours prior to your draft time to do so. At that time, the Rank list will be closed and considered ready for the draft.

On draft day there will be a "Draft Room" link in the lower-left area of your League's Home page. This link will allow entry into the draft room. During the Live Draft, each team will have 90 seconds to select an NFL player. The order of the draft will be randomly generated between midnight and 6:00:00 AM ET either the day of, or the day before, the draft (if your league has the mandatory 12 owners as of 48 hours prior to your scheduled draft date, the draft order will be generated at that point. If not, your league will receive an email explaining that you must have 12 owners as of 24 hours prior to your draft date. If you have 12 owners in time, the draft order will be generated the day of your draft. If not, your league will be disbanded and each owner will have to join or create another league.) The draft order will "snake" at the end of each round, meaning that the team with the last pick in the current round will have the first pick in the next round.

In the draft room, you will be able to place NFL players into a Draft Queue - which is simply a list, in order of priority, of players you are interested in taking with your next draft pick. When it is your turn to pick, you will have 90 seconds to draft a player. If the 90 seconds pass and you have not manually selected a player, the player ranked highest in your Draft Queue will be automatically drafted. If the Draft Queue is empty, a pick will then be made from your Rank List.

You'll find more help with the live draft inside the league after signup.

One of the moderators may want to "unsticky" this discussion or even move it to the Fantasy board now that we have our 12 teams.

Thanks-

Best thing about the nfl.com league is that they include The Vinnie Intercepteverde Rule (i.e. you lose 2 points for every interception thrown or fumble surrendered).

Also - the nfl.com site is very user-friendly, with interactive ranker boards, updates and other bells & whistles - all of which are (the magic word:) "Free!"

But you pick 3 in round 2!
They reverse the draft order every other round so picking 5 or 6 is worse.

I had the 5 pick, that sucked a big one.

After looking at your picks from the draft, I think you should have spent more time on your homework then just cramming the night before. :biglaugh:
