| The 2008 Fan Forum NFL Fantasy Draft Thread  Welcome to the 2008 Fan Fanforum NFL Fantasy Draft. This is where we will select our players in accordance with the rules mentioned below. We're 14 teams this year, and in order to complete the draft before the season starts, it is important that everyone complies with the rules. For example, if you know you probably won't be around when it's your turn to pick, please send your pick(s) to someone else who is. The draft will commence today, Sunday, August 3rd., at midnight EST. Good luck everyone  Rules  Draft order will be determined by a first come, first serve basis in the first round. The snaking method will be implemented for the rest of the draft. This means that if you make the first overall selection, then you will be the last one to pick in the second round. 24-hour rule. You have twenty-four hours to make your selection. Should you not do so within this timeframe, then we will autodraft the next highest rated player from Yahoo’s rankings. An effort will be made to help fill open positions left on your roster. (Please make an effort to make your selections as quickly as possible. We would like to complete the draft in a timely manner. If you know that you will not be able to be at the board to make your next pick, then it would be a good idea to PM your picks to someone you trust.) This is not necessarily a “rule,” but please heed this suggestion. Try to keep track of everyone’s picks and cross off players that have already been selected. This will prevent accidental duplicate picks and keep the draft rolling smoothly. Once you have made a pick, there is no going back. If a player happens to get injured in the preseason, that is a difficult break. However, you cannot do anything with that player until after the draft is completed. | |||

| Ah yeah! I can't wait to get started. It's going to be real interesting this year with 14 teams. The depth for each team isn't going to be like it used to be. I tried a couple mock drafts yesterday and the talent pool gets thin pretty quick. It'll be interesting to see what kind of strategies people will use during the draft. Good luck to everyone! Hope your #1 pick breaks a leg.  __________________ I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death. -Nas | |||

| Just one, your first round pick to establish the draft order. It probably won't get back around to you for a bit. __________________ "I am way curious as to how a Best Rapper Alive contest can include the likes of Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em, Shawty Lo and Flo Rida, but not list lyrical geniuses Rakim, MC Lyte, Chuck D, KRS-One or Slick Rick."
