NFL Rookie Draft:
We conduct a 4 round Rookie Draft every pre-season after July 4th. This draft is for NFL Rookies that were eligible for the most recent NFL draft. Players that were eligible for a previous year's NFL draft and went undrafted (but are still technically NFL Rookies), are considered free agents and are no longer eligible to be drafted.
Draft order for non-playoff teams will be in the reverse order of the final regular season fantasy football standings. Playoff teams will draft in the reverse order of their playoff results (teams eliminated the same week will follow the same tiebreaker rules based on their regular season finish).
Draft Order Tiebreaker Rules...
1. Overall Record
2. Head-to-Head Record (2 teams only)
3. Overall Points
4. Points Against
Teams will be OTC (On The Clock) starting from the exact time the previous selection was made or skipped. The time to make a selection or trade the draft pick will be 24 hours in round 1, 12 hours in rounds 2 and 3, and 8 hours in rounds 4 and any compensatory rounds. You must have salary cap room available to sign your draft pick(s) or they will be forfeited and become Free Agents.
All NFL rookies not drafted during our rookie draft become Free Agents at the conclusion of our draft.
Skipped Draft Picks:
If a team misses their pick, they will be skipped and the next team will be "on the clock". Skipped teams may pick anytime and will not affect the current clock. A team will not be skipped more than two selections during the first 3 rounds. The draft will be paused and the TAB will make the pick based on that team's needs. This ensures no franchise gets "truly hurt" by an owner that may become inactive. After the 3rd round, the TAB will no longer make selections for skipped picks. Teams may still pick anytime up until 12 hours after the final pick of the draft. At that time all skipped picks will be forfeited.
A team may post they want to skip their pick and then pick later in the draft (at any point) at which point their player is given the salary relating to the pick when the pick is made.
Example:
A team has the #10 pick in the draft and does not make a selection in 24 hours, they go into a "pick anytime" mode. If they have not made their selection by the time team #12 picks, then the draft will be paused (Pick #13 would be put on hold). The TAB would make the #10 pick, and then the draft will be resumed with Pick #13 on the clock.
Trading of Draft Picks:
Draft picks may be traded up to two years in the future. For example, in 2009 you were able to trade 2009, 2010 and 2011 draft picks throughout the 2009 playing year up until the trade deadline.
When the pick on the clock is traded during the draft, there is an exception to the time limit. If a trade is approved by both parties involving a pick currently on the clock, that team will not be skipped until a final verdict is reached on approving or rejecting the trade. The recipient of the pick is then awarded the amount of time remaining on the clock, as well as the time it took for the trade to be approved up to a maximum of four hours. Trading of skipped picks do not receive this special time treatment.
If a trade is posted involving a team's pick on the clock that is not accepted by the other team by the end of the time on the clock, then the trade is ruled void, and the team on the clock will be skipped. The teams may resubmit the trade if they wish.
