Dues paid

Re: 2017 Warpath $$$ League
 

Dues paid. Hope there's another motivated owner out there who wants to take the last spot. We've had some in the past that lost interest by Week 4...

Re: 2017 Warpath $$$ League
 

Nice. Thanks for the heads up.

Is pick trading allowed? or would the mechanics be too much of a pain in the ass to do (if anyone were actually interested in it)?

2017 Warpath $$$ League
 

Trading picks is allowed although I'm not sure how it works exactly. Looks like it's during the draft only?

Re: 2017 Warpath $$$ League
 

Same payouts as in previous years $400 to the winner $200 for second place

Re: 2017 Warpath $$$ League
 

As to trading, probably have to work it out in advance b/c everyone needs to have same number of picks in the end. If yahoo works like it has in the past, teams have only so many slots to fill.

Regardless, should make things a little more interesting.

Re: 2017 Warpath $$$ League
 

If trading going to be contemplated, and can only be done during draft, we really should consider some guidelines. Otherwise, with only two minutes between rounds, potential for lots of griping and moaning.

Matty, is there anything outlining how the trades can happen on draft day? Will the slots be actually exchanged or will it just be "I am picking this player for X in exchange for him picking a player of my choice with X's next pick." ?

Couple of thoughts:
1) Trades must be announced and terms completely set out in the draft chat. Only published trades are enforceable and only for there published terms.

2) Once one manager acts in reliance on the terms of the trade, the other manager(s) are bound to the published terms of the trade even if draft board unexpectedly changes.

3) Trade of picked player for draft pick final once draft pick at issue taken.

4) Trade of picked players must include one draft pick (otherwise, if just players, has to wait until post draft).

Also, if in draft trading allowed, would an increase of the round time to three minutes be objectionable? It will add time if folks are zombie drafting but leaves a little time for wheeling and dealing. Not sure if the benefit worth the time cost, but just throwing it out there.

During draft, I'll be happy to try and memorialize the trades as they happen for tracking purposes.

I would recommend people contemplate potential trades ahead of time and discuss with potential partners to facilitate draft day trading.

Final thought - in season trades can be vetoed by a majority of owners. Should there be an in draft veto mechanism? I would suggest not as it would be cumbersome and, generally, the purpose of the in season veto is to prevent a losing team from dumping players or due to lost interest. I don't think either of these would be a draft day concern.

Re: 2017 Warpath $$$ League
 

I'll try to research it. As for the time between picks 2 minutes is the max.

Re: 2017 Warpath $$$ League
 

This is what the description says for the trading picks option:

Increase the level of strategic competition in your league by allowing managers to trade draft picks for next year’s draft. When this setting is enabled, managers can trade draft picks in any round for players and/or other draft picks. Once a trade involving a draft pick is made, this setting cannot be disabled. Draft pick trading is not available for auction draft leagues

Re: 2017 Warpath $$$ League
 

my preference is no trades. but if folks want to shoot themselves in the foot, by all means...

Well, that's confusing. On one hand, it looks like a legacy rule but in the next sentence implies trades can be for picks in this year's draft. Whatever .. if there is a mechanism in place to lock in trades, great.

Guess we'll find out on draft day.

What am I offered for the 7th slot? lol

My 3rd rounder next year and an apple pie

Re: 2017 Warpath $$$ League
 

it would make my decade if I could actually send/mail a ham sandwich to someone for a 15 round pick.

Re: 2017 Warpath $$$ League
 

Seems like for the draft pick trading to work we would need to ensure the same group is back next year.

In honor of Bobby Beatherd getting nominated for the HOF, I propose the following trade with JR

I'll trade you my:
1st Round Pick 2018
3rd Round Pick 2018

For JR's:
2nd Round Pick 2017

Re: 2017 Warpath $$$ League
 

FWIW, I'm against trading picks.

Re: 2017 Warpath $$$ League
 

Are we not doing an IR slot (in addition to 5 BN)? To the extent it is not too late, and others are in favor, so am I.

I like that idea, I'll add one if nobody has an issue with it

Re: 2017 Warpath $$$ League
 

how did everyone like their drafts? i liked mine, only regret may be taking a qb too early.

Re: 2017 Warpath $$$ League
 

my WR corps could be better. 2nd overall pick leaves a very thin WR selection once your 2nd/3rd pick come around. Otherwise, happy with the other positions.

Re: 2017 Warpath $$$ League
 

That dickface Matty effing took 3 players who I had planned to take one spot before me in the middle rounds. Completely effed my game team up.

Re: 2017 Warpath $$$ League
 

Stoked about my D, WR's, QB's, TE and kicker. Got Melvin Gordon but need some depth at RB bad. I do hold the top spot in waivers so i will see who is out there after week one but if anyone feels stacked at RB and needs a QB lets make a deal!

I hate that. Lol. Got a guy lined up for like 16 picks and he lasts right up until that 17th pick. Terrible feeling.

lol that's the worst, what a dick

Re: 2017 Warpath $$$ League
 

Feel:
Great about my QB's.
Pretty good about my WR's, D, and K.
Good about my TE's
Concerned about my RB's.

After the 6th round, all the guys I was interested in were rated in the 105- 109 range and no one on the available list was jumping out at me. My 7th (M. Bennett); 8th (Arizona); and 9th (Stafford) were all the equivalent of "Best available athlete."

Guys I wanted but missed out on:
Houston in the 7th
T. Riddick in the 10th
Henry Hunter in the 10th

The Houston pick made me scramble a little b/c I didn't realize they were gone until after I was on the clock. I had Riddick, Theilen, and Hunter queued up after that and almost grabbed Riddick in the 9th but Stafford was too tempting.

My RB's are my Ajayi, Abdullah, Kelly and Lacy. Other than Lacy, they are all starters but none have the "wow" factor and Abdullah as a RB2 just makes me nervous. Hopefully Fat Rob goes all "Arian Foster" and wildly exceeds all expectations. As it is, I am just hopeful they give me solid production week in and week out - but I lack confidence that they will.


Anyone else care to share the "one (or two) that got away"?

I thought Ajayi was getting alot of wow factor. Wasn't he rated like top 5? Im too lazy to switch screens right now.

EDIT: I wanted Bennett bad at 84 and you took him at 79. Also wanted Duke Johnson at 132 and Jamf took him at 126.

I wanted Bennett so bad. Guess JR is off the hook since u would have snagged him. Dude is going to be a beast with GB.

Re: 2017 Warpath $$$ League
 

I managed to grab Bennett as my backup TE to Reed in another league, I might just end up starting him as my flex. He could be a TD machine in GB.

i have gronk and reed in another league but i forgot that the league was 0.5 pts per carry. i would have loaded up on rbs early instead of later.

i opened that league against kareem hunt.

Re: 2017 Warpath $$$ League
 

I got only one guy i can use in the flex - Howard with TB. Obviously ppd. If i do a drop add now will that drop me to the bottom of waivers???? If so im probably just going to roll without a flex player.
