[QUOTE="PackFanInSC, post: 157695, member: 598"] I would like to know the order as well BUT, to avoid it looking too suspicious should I get a high pick, I will let Yahoo determine the order. according to the league page -- if I have not already set a line up -- the order of picks will be determined 30 minutes before draft time. What the owners need to do -- before 45 minutes prior to the draft -- is to rank your players. List the players in the order that you would pick them if you had your ideal picks. I know it is a live draft but the system will look at your rankings and take your best player available should you not be able to be in the draft room for your turn or fall asleep at your computer. Otherwise, you may end up accidentally drafting Micheal Vick or some injured player as the default rankings are not always the most up to date. (Example, last year Clinton Portis was ranked as a top 5 RB even though he was injured in training camp). There are 10 teams and the roster is 15 players so your rankings should not have to go deeper than 150 deep. Other owners may want players that you rank lower than that but the system should never have to go beyond that for your team. It is my understanding that Yahoo does not possess the artificial intelligence in their draft software to recognize that you already have 3 QBs and to move on to a position of need so it is a good idea to be at the draft if you possibly can. The roster spots at 1 QB, 2 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, 1 Flex (WR/RB), 1 K, 1 Defensive team and 6 bench players. With only 6 bench players, you will want to keep an eye on the bye weeks so too many of your players are not off at the same time. If a player is on a bye, he can still fill your starting roster spot, if need be, but you would get no points for that position. I may consider adding another bench position or 2 before the draft if everyone wants it. It may not be a superstar acquisition but someone to cover your bye weeks. A couple of tips for new players -- contrary to what you may see on TV commercials -- KICKERS DO NOT GO EARLY!!!.
