OK, at 8:00am on Tuesday 2/20, our draft will officially begin. The drafting order is as follows:

1. LSI Cadets
2. JZ29
3. KD in CT
4. Stl Bills
5. Ramius
6. bflodan
7. RkFast
8. RuntheDamnBall
9. DonteWhitner
10. taterhill
11. Buffan00
12. slothrop
13. d_wag
14. OGTEleven

The order reverses for every round. For instance, in round 2, OGTEleven will have the first pick, LSI Cadets will have the last. So if you have picks towards the end of a round, be aware that if you are last, youwill need to make two picks. If you are close to the end of a round you should be ready to make another pick relatively soon.

Time limits:
from 8am-11pm: 4hr limit for picks.
from 11pm-8am: 8hr limit for picks.
I am going to be fairly strict about this, and if you disappear forever I will make the decision to select the top available player from Yahoo's rankings. If you know you are not going to be around, please just PM your picks to me (DonteWhitner and StlBills can receive your picks as well). Supply a few names so that another can be picked in case your top choice is taken.

Under options, you can track this thread so that you receive updates. This will help you keep current and know when your draft position is coming up, and keep informed as to what players have already been selected.

This will be a 21-round draft.

PLEASE DRAFT YOUR PLAYERS IN THIS THREAD WITH THIS POST FORMAT:
