You should be able to use the native web interface to set your three players at a minimum. As long as every manager drafts their three picks then auto draft should work for you worst case, since all the taken players will be gone by the time we get to round 4. It only turns into a CF if someone auto drafts something outside their first three picks.

From what I understand the first three rounds will go by in a matter of seconds with our picks from last night being automatically selected.  

I don't think anyone could pick a player chosen last night because they will all be assigned to each team in the first three rounds.

Am I mistaken?

Provided all managers set their pre-draft list with their first three picks then yes it can all be done automatically in a very short amount of time.

I guess I am not fully understanding how it works then.  It doesn't seem to make much sense for yahoo to make you edit your list if all of the drafted players have been set as keepers.  

You only have to do that if you are auto drafting, correct?

It looks like it was set up as a separate league. Not sure if you have to manually set it or just wait until the draft and make people pick their auction draft choices.

I am not sure how this will play out. Since I added the players as keepers, hopefully this overides anyones specific list.

I guess the question is why are we waiting to the last minute to address this Bryan?    (I know I am a tryant and an asshole...did I forget anything?)

I went in today and manually added all the players chosen last night to each owners team as their first three picks. I think we should be ok.

Yahoo added a pretty cool addition this year called 'Draft Grades'. You get a letter grade and detailed report. According to Yahoo, Heiny had the best draft. Sandman told me this morning looking at his team there's no way he's not winning this league.

Heineken definitely snagged at least three players right in front of me who were the only guys in my queue, that sucked!  


Yahoo rankings don't mean shit though,  both my teams sucked last year and I made the playoffs in both leagues and won the Keeper League.

Yahoo said I won the draft last year in he keeper league, but I didn't even make the playoffs.

Injuries to every one of the three RB's I started plus underwhelming receiver scores sunk me.  

I was a lot happier with the team for this league as I was drafting it.  Looking at it now, I have my doubts.

Wow.



I'd give the best grades to Dingleberries & Goblin.



I thnk Yahoo! is giving Sandy a hard time about the lack of K & DST, projecting a season worth of goose eggs from those two positions.



Heineken's team is horrible, as usual.

I also like what Goblin did...  Decker could be a bust this year though for a starting WR.  If he isn't that looks like a really strong team.

I already changed my lineup.... .   I was debating taking Cameron last night but went with a RB instead.  I think (hope) James will get more time than Davis so I made the change.  Probably the first of many wrong decisions though.

Agreed. For some reason, this year there are three or four teams right out of the gate that appear to be stacked to win. It's impressive how that many teams apparently drafted so well.

You are just being an asshole now.  Give me a fucking break, I am right in the main pack almost every year, got 3rd last year (and would have had 1st if not for a dumb ass decision on my part. )  I understand fantasy football perfectly fine, and I have a strategy, but sometimes you have to make picks based on whats available.

So anyone who wants to make a side bet when its your week to play me, just send me an IM.  Last mofo who took me up on that lost some cash, twice.
