GIF ESPN Keeper League

my team sucks balls, i really appreciate the computer giving me Shonn Greene in the second round

 

Yeah I forgot about The Nuge. Gonna be a tight one tonight.


That's what she said.

 

well my teams not that bad, how many keepers for next year ?

 

2. Yeah it's not a bad team, it just hasnt been being managed.

 

Only two? :icon_cry:

 

Two keepers seems best to me.. I don't want all the decent WRs off the market for next year's draft because I was too dumb to take one before the third, haha. My team would be beasting even harder if I had taken Andre Johnson instead of Michael Turner in the first.

Still looking to make a RB for WR trade if anyone's up for it. Not gonna force it, but I'll include pretty much anyone I have in the right deal.

Are we doing any weird keeper rules, like losing picks for keeping players? I've never liked that too much, but I wanna be clear before we get to close to making those decisions. I also wondered if, once you put someone in the IR slot, if they're stuck there until the end of the year? I've been too cautious to put anyone in it since I didn't know.

 

I have Miles Austin, Pierre Garcon, Malcom Floyd, Michael Crabtree, Mohamed Massaquoi, and Deon Branch if you are interested in any of them

 

Announcement: I will be changing my team's name to recognize Michael Vick's MVP status on Snowman's Rapin' Van. Until I feel like changing it back, you're all going to have to try to shut down Ron Mexico's Free Clinic.

 

When is the trade deadline. I have Randy Moss and Mike Wallace that I would consider dealing for the right price.

 

Randy Moss?

:Loco:

Would you prefer a Kit Kat or a Snickers bar?

 

something cheap...lol.

 

See if I have someone you want for Moss

I want to get rid of some RBs, anyone who wants one hit me up

 

Standard keeper rules. I'd like to make it where you give up the next years pick of whatever round you selected your keeper in but ESPN doesn't do that as far as I can tell. If everyone keeps 2 then the draft proceeds normally but anyone that doesn't choose to keep 2 (as in one or none) picks ahead of everyone else. Basically your keepers count as your first two picks in the draft.

 

Is that possible AJ? I ask because I don't know how ESPN works. If I hold two players does the draft next year acknowledge that, as far as when I get my first draft pick?

 

Um. I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, I guess.

The draft order is the draft order, randomly picked. Your two keepers count as your first two picks in the draft, so if everyone has two keepers the draft proceeds as normal, except our first round of actual picks is technically the 3rd round of the draft. If someone chooses to keep one player rather than two, they get a pick in the "second" round that everyone else forfeited in lieu of a keeper, so they would basically get a pick ahead of everyone else whose first picks would be in the "3rd" round. It's a way of giving a team with crap keepers a chance to come up on the first available players in the draft instead of forcing them to keep garbage.

What I'd like to have it do, and I've played in leagues where it's the case, is instead of forfeiting your first two picks for 2 keepers, you forfeit the pick in the round you chose the player in. So if you drafted Arian Foster in the 6th and chose him as your keeper, you forfeit your 6th round pick in the draft. You want to keep Chris Johnson, you give up your first round pick to do so. Just a way of rewarding shrewd or lucky drafters as the league moves forward.

I hope I answered your question, I couldn't quite explain it as clearly as I would have liked to.

 

No you answered my question perfectly.

If I keep my first two draft picks from this year I don't have a pick until the 3rd round. Right?

Vs. if I keep my 6th rounder from this years draft, I just concede my 6th round pick. Right?

 

No. That's how I'd ideally like it to be but can't figure out how to make ESPN let me. As it is, no matter what round you drafted the players you set as keepers, they count as your first two picks in the draft.

 

I'll help you try to figure it out because every keeper league I've played in that's how we did it. It's not fair to "punish" a player for getting lucky on a flier in the 6th round.

We have a long time to figure it out.
