Free.

I've been preparing pre-draft lists, and it's interesting how the orders have changed for the offensive positions. The division winners aren't as cut and dry either. There are at least 2 legitamite teams in each division who could win it. Some divisions have 4

Hey thanks for the reminder, I just ranked my players. I won't be there tonight because of football practice, but hopefully I'll get what I want. Hey, is there an auto pick function so that you all don't have to wait through my picks?

there is. it should go on auto pilot once you don't make your first pick but you could be a good guy and click it now

Sorry, didn't see that in time, hope I didn't hold anyone up. Anyways, I love my team. I did pre rank, so hopefully that worked. My draft went as if I was making the picks my self. There were some backups I'm not sure about, but the rest was good. That went much better than my baseball auto pick draft.

Hey, are all you suckas going to respond to trade offers or what? I've got offers out to like 4 different teams and no responses.

Just so everyone knows, I'm not the commish in this league. Trades get voted on by the other owners and if there are too many objections (think it takes 4) then it's up to CBS to decide. And I can't take over any abandoned teams so hopefully every one plays out the season.

Also everyone should sign up with their regular email (or at least check the email you did sign up with daily) and click the 'update fantasy alerts' on the home page so you know when you get offered a trade. The alerts and e-reports are one of the best features of CBS so hopefully everyone uses them.

And as TJ said, let's try to either accept or decline trade offers promptly, or even make a counter offer. Most trade offers do get declined so don't be afraid to decline. TJ is used to rejection

That I am...

I just think that drafting a team and keeping the same team the whole season is extremely boring. I also find the negotiating and trading to be just as much fun as the actual match that week, so I'm sure everyone will end up with several offers from me before the season is out. And accept, counter or reject, you won't hurt my feelings, but no responses are not fun... also, if my offers annoy you, feel free to send me a message and tell me to stop, I'll never send another! My intent is not to be a pest.

I'm looking forward to the season!

I hear ya, but the offer of Ronnie Brown wasn't good because I just don't like Ronnie Brown. Every draft I move him down in the pre rank and then for some reason I get offered Ronnie Brown a lot in trades. I also like having Sproles and LT on the same team. That's always safe.

Not a problem, and my post was general in nature, not directed at you in particular. And I can't blame you for keeping LT. Had I not missed my first two picks, he be on my team right now! I can't understand how he drops to the second round with a 1500 total yard, 12 TD year (while he was injured).

Anyway everybody, I've got a lot of depth at RB, but would be willing to give a lot of it up to get a "top-tier" guy. If you missed out on some depth in later rounds, let me know! I also have pretty decent WRs.

I'm just the opposite. I tend to draft guys I like and stick with them. I put too much time into draft prep just to keep trading guys for the sake of trading. I also try to keep all my teams as similar as possible so you don't have a player in one league and you're going against him in another. But I know trading is the fun part for some. To me the draft is the best part.
