    Just wanted to make sure you guys know the draft is this weekend.

    It doesn't give a specific time, so I'd suggest you have your preferences set by late Friday night.


    Oh... and DO NOT draft Jerrod Johnson. He sux, but I'll take him just because I have to.
    :p

    Don, you are absolutely correct!
    Guess I'm in a hurry for the games to start!

    Ok... you've all got an extra week.

    Ro...

    Go to "League Home"...then under "Draft Prep" choose "Rank Players".

    You get a choice of "Expert Pick's" (the default), "Projected Rankings based on League Rules" (I think that should be the default and is what I am using for the most part), or you can drag-and-drop in the list, making up your own customized list, give it a name, save it, and then that list will turn up in the drop-down as one of your choices.

    Then you're done. I have no idea how trading, walkons, scout teams, etc. will work...figure I'll find out later.

    It will draft automatically based on your list...if you do nothing it will use, I believe the "Expert Pick's" list and give you the top player on the list for a position that you do not have filled yet.

    So you really don't have to do anything, other than maybe it would be better to switch it from the default to the "Projected Rankings" list.

    For the record according to A&M coaches Jerrod Johnson has not fully recovered from off season shoulder surgery, so might keep that in mind if you have thoughts of taking him #1! :) Plus the A&M running game may be excellent this year further eroding his stats!

    Careful, Scott. Methinks Terry wants to draft Jerrod and wants you out of the way. :wink:
