So if you keep Brandon Lloyd and you drafted him with a 12th rounder, you lose your 12th rounder in the draft. If you drafted Chris Johnson in the 1st and you keep him, you lose your 1st rounder.
I'd walk from that league if things don't change. Those rules he's got suck balls.

I've got a question for Schneed, if you check back, and a comment.
I like the idea of this type of keeper league. Leagues I've been in, in the past, simply gave you a choice of how many players to keep. Let's say 5-10. If you only kept 5, then you would have a pick in the 1st round (effectively the 6th) of the upcoming draft. If you kept 10, then you didn't pick until round 11.
Now for the style of KL you are describing, is Brandon Lloyd a 12th rounder from now to his retirement, or is it only in the year after you drafted him? Have you ever had a league that ranked players (i.e. If they are in the top 10 overall, you have to give up a 1st rounder for them, if they are from 30-... you give up a 3rd)?
Now as too my comments. I disagree with your commish about league vote. How I draft, and what FA's I pick up at the end of the year are based on whether the league is a Keeper L. or not. If it's a KL, and my season is shot, I will look at young players in case 1 or 2 is ready to break out. I think it sucks for a league to switch to a Keeper league just before a draft.
I am looking for 6 owners for a brand new keeper league on NFL.com follow the link, and here's the password: giantstime
Yeah, I'm a Giants' fan, but I ask my league owners before I make changes, and encourage their input at all times. I recently joined a league that was supposed to have 16 teams. The day after I joined as the 14th team, the league manager closed the league, and set the draft for the next day. I hadn't even had a chance to rank 1 player, so I got who I got. Then he changed the setting league vote on trades, to commish veto, and allowed 3 bad trades (oddly he was on the down side of each trade, but they were awful trades). Then he made a whole bunch of FA pickups, and changed the setting for how many you could make in a year (was originally 10). That's not how I run my league.
It is a 16 team league with IDP no team defense.
