At this point, the Second Round bids are virtually complete, and the next milestone is the FA draft. Fortunately, there aren't very many roster vacancies to fill, so this draft should be a fairly quick one.
For those who like to monitor players' progress through the preseason games, you might like to have more than just this first week's worth of games to judge by. I'd propose that we start the FA draft on Monday, August 19th. That's more than two weeks before the start of the regular season on Sept 5.
If anyone has a strong objection to this please state it soon.
(My next posting in this thread will be the draft order. Remember, the FA draft order is a little convoluted, as it's based partly on final standings, and partly on the finish in the consolation playoff rounds from last year.)

Rule on the FA Draft order: Picks #7 through #12 will be reverse order of regular season finish using total points against to break any ties. Picks #1 through #6 will be determined by finish in playoff consolation bracket with the first pick going to the winner and proceeding down to 6th place finisher.
Round 1 1. Here 4 Beer - pass the draft 2. 4th St Clubhouse - pass the draft 3. Jersey Jets - Jeremy Maclin, WR, Eagles 4. NY Cobesters - pass the draft 5. Texas Bulldogs - pass the draft 6. Soultakers - Falcons DST 7. Backyard Brawlers - pass the draft 8. Killer Joeckel - Kenbrell Thompkins, WR, Patriots 9. Black and Gold - Donnie Avery, WR, Chiefs 10. Payton's Revenge - Andre Roberts, WR, Cardinals 11. San Joaquin Valley Fever - pass the draft 12. Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse - pass the draft
Round 2 3. Jersey Jets - pass the draft 6. Soultakers - Shaun Suisham, K, Steelers 8. Killer Joeckel - Zach Sudfeld, TE, Patriots 10. Payton's Revenge - pass the draft
Round 3 6. Soultakers - pass
Not a snake - this order in place for all rounds. Not all of the teams will participate because some are happy with their current rosters. On the other hand, some teams with full rosters may opt to drop one or more players and participate in the draft.

after looking over the available FA's, Here 4 Beer will pass on the FA draft. When will we be able to start picking up players from other teams released lists? I see a couple there I might want.

We'll do one waiver round after the FA draft is finished, reset the waiver priorities based on the pick-ups made at that time, then load those priorities into the ESPN settings. After that, dropped player claims will be made through the ESPN platform. Thanx for the notice on passing the draft.

Rich Ormsbee has first pick in the draft. Once he posts his, the clock will start.

Gulp he says rolling the dice
With an eye towards 2014 Mets and Jets sign Jeremy Maclin WR PHI to a 1/1. I did some research and think this is legal.
He is listed as a FA by ESPN. Soultakers had him last year with a 7/1 contract. Thus he was free for 2013 and since he tore his ACL early no one bid on him in 1st or 2nd rounds.
To make room we will drop Rashard Mendenhall RB ARI 8/2.
I will put Maclin on IR and will make a pick in the FA draft 2nd round
Mike can we change my team name to the Jersey Jets?
**DONE** - will also make the name change on your roster, Rich.

Cobesters passing on the draft. Took a look and tempted but will keep my open slot and save a $1 for later.

Black and Gold will select Donnie Avery, WR, KC...if I haven't missed something. He was a $5/1 last year and I still see him available on the BackYards2 League page.
**DONE**
