YF NFL Rookie Draft

Sorry Frankie, I already drafted him :D

Pick 3.10 

damn - didn't think that he had been crossed out when I looked at the list on page one earlier. 

How about a trade then? You give me Russell Wilson and then you get to keep Cameron Artis-Payne? Sound fair?

If not, I'll take the idiot who cheated on Sandra Bullock - Jesse James (TE from Penn Station)

Thanks Frankie (If it makes you feel better I was thinking about him at the end of my draft :P)

Usos are on the clock.

Usos will take Tony Lippett 

Midas Whale will go with the mighty Karlos Williams

Swarlos Rodriguez take Devante Davis (WR) - PHI

The Billikids will take Mycole Pruitt with our final pick - TE.

Will take Bryce Petty with our last pick. 

And only 4 picks remain in the draft....Fairies are up.

Fairies take Antwan Goodley WR Dallas

I'll take Sean Mannion

And for a run of QBs I'll take Garrett Grayson Saints.

Troopers take Josh Robinson and we're done. ?

so, did I win?

Final Draft Round by Round

From here I will start doing a quick analysis of each team, including their draft picks, and each of those will include how many players each team has to choose to release...Don't drop them, but either edit your keepers and set the players you wish to keep, or send me an email saying which of your players you wish to release, and then when I do the additions of rookies and open the waivers your players will be released and onto the waiver list. The Waiver Order will be the same as the draft order (If you take a player you drop to end of the list)

The analysis will be in the NFL 2015 thread :)

Just to confirm, you'll leave the keepers cut-off date at 30 June?  I'm fairly confident in who I'll keep and drop but would like to monitor a couple of my rookies to see if they go well in training camps etc.

The reason for it needing to be earlier rather than closer to the season is because all other rookies are locked and unable to be moved until the keepers are done and I add the rookies to the draft. I would love to have the cutoff date as a week out from the regular season (Which with investigation and finding some better software for running the league I hope to be able to do next year. Or even some way to have Roster cut down dates.)

30 June is fine with me. I was just wondering from your other comments if you going to move it earlier than that.

Oh nah. That was when I thought I had ways to put the rookies in as was, going to be better with June 30 :)

I'll be dropping one rookie - Tyler Kroft (TE) - my fourth round pick.  Have set my keepers on the ESPN site for the other 4 players I'll be dropping.

Dunno what I'm doing but I've dropped enough players for the rookies to come in. Is that it?!

That'll do :) You could've alternatively set your Keepers :)

I'll drop Sean Mannion please

Sweet, take it you have set your other keepers :)

Could you remind Usos please? :D

Can do, I'll get him to confirm who he wants dropped by the cut-off date

Thanks Niall :)

I think that I dropped one too many players - am I able to pick up any (non draft) free agents yet or do I have to wait until we have added all the drafted newbies?

I don't think the rookies have been added to the website yet.  So you can pick up any free agents you want (or wait until the rookies get added and pick up one of those that aren't allocated to a team I guess).

You can pick up all except for Rookies right away :)

I will also be dropping my 4th round pick - Mike Davis. 

Hmmm interesting....

I'll send out another email this week as there is now 7 days to go. Will email/tweet people individually as well, incase they ignore ones from ESPN, if you know someone hasn't completed their keepers/sent me some info please just remind them as well....

Usos, Fairies, Rodriguez being the three I haven't heard anything from (Think a couple of others have to make 1-2 more decisions (Including me :P)

...

I now have 7 days to figure out who to drop:

Lorenzo Taliaferro

Terrence West

Malcolm Floyd

Dwayne Allen

Ryan Williams

ARGH!!! I have to drop one of them, or a rookie...just no idea who :(

Right I have heard back from Rodriguez. :D

I believe I have correct rosters from everyone except Usos now :D

Fairies would end up with additional space on their roster, I will contact Martyn and check before processing the draft :)

Usos will drop Tony Lippett and Allen Hurns

I ran into an issue...DeVante Davis is not showing in the ESPN players list. As Such his player rights remain with Swarlos Rodriguez, and when he is added to the Player list he will own to that team, if their roster is full I will ask about which player to replace.

Another player seemingly missing from the ESPN site, player rights awarded to Troopers and I will assign them if they appear in the player list.
