Dynasty League Draft

It’s the off-season and those of you in keeper and dynasty leagues should be preparing for your upcoming drafts. Lucky for you, my league has already done its draft! You are allowed to draft anyone in the free agent pool from last year, or any prospects/players you think will make it into the Yahoo! database next year. You control the players you draft until April 1, at which point it’s decision time. You either have to make room on your roster, trade them, or cut them loose. My team is the Bloodthirsty Guavas.

One other thing to note is one team was so bad that we gave the replacement owner three supplemental picks at the beginning of the first round as an attempt to balance things out. We also kept the same draft order from round to round, this was not a snake draft, so please keep that in mind while seeing how each owner drafted.
