SEASON TWO--WIS NFL DRAFT LEAGUE (DEAD) Topic

After a very popular first season of this league, we will make some changes.

Gone is the "drafting by position" part of the draft.  For this season, we will have a ten round draft.  Last year we had an eight round draft, but we will add an extra two "wild card" rounds for whatever players or positions you want.

Each player that is drafted becomes yours EXCLUSIVELY.  This means that once a team drafts Jim Brown, they get to pick ANY Jim Brown year they want, and then no other team may draft any Jim Brown year.  Same for every other player and team Defense and offensive line or kicker or special teams or WHATEVER. 

Each team from season one will be allowed ONE "franchise player" that they may protect and keep from the previous season.  Here's the catch though...if you decide to keep a franchise player, you lose your first round draft pick.

Draft selection order will be determined by lowest records from owners returning from the previous season.  Any new owners will be randomly assignerd draft slot numbers after returning owners.  The draft will be snake style though, so it's not that much of a penalty even for new teams, to be drafting later in the first round.

When you sign up below in this thread, please indicate if you are returning and who you are protecting as your "franchise player", if anyone. 

Salary cap is $80 million per team

I will get caught up with this in the next day or two I promise.  Been really hectic working lots of overnights and getting ready for and doing actual live fantasy football drafts.  

I am obviously returning and will protect Aaron Rodgers

Im in. Im not keeping anyone.
8/31/2011 11:05 AM
I'll return and protect QB Peyton Manning
9/3/2011 11:32 AM
OK, I sitemailed everyone from season one, and only heard back from babykong as far as coming back.  bargearse says he definitely is not.  So hopefully there will be more from last year, but if not, we might as well start recruiting.

So, please tell everyone in all your leagues about this league on the message board and encourage them to come here and sign up.  With so few protecting franchise players, I'm hoping getting new owners won't be too hard.
