as much as I want to see how big the other thread will get throughout the year, I think we needed a cleaner OP for newer members to be able to tell what is going on, so for all future discussion please come to this thread and kindly let the other one die. 

The draft is over and we have our 6 new FANTASTIC teams, I'm really excited to see how this season unfolds as I think any team can win after the draft here is the new updated rosters and the team standings as of WEEK 8.

It's kinda my fault because I was gone all week and didn't remind him to pick, but Wake if you have any guys you've noticed that are consistent through the weeks, let me know. I only ask you because you are the info guru.

Do we have this weeks updates posted?  I noticed some people talking about how their teams placed this week, but I don't see anything.  I am not computer literate.

dropped back to 21st after the last 2 weekends which haven't been very good for me at all.  this week is a new week, though.

@wolf something I just noticed you're top 5 players are you and of the other four one was undrafted and the others were 55th, 58th, and 71st, that's pretty good on your part. But I also noticed that you don't have a single player left on your team drafted from the first four rounds, that is pretty ****** lol.

Messiah, they got whacked cuz they missed events though. otherwise I don't think they would have got cut.  But yeah that is pretty interesting to say the least.  i think if I finish top 15 for the year, I will be in conversation for sleeper draft pick.  JoeKerr was picked pretty late tho too and he is doing well.

But whatever you want to call it the Probowlers, All-stars, All-Americans whatever, that's what the top 10 is designated for. A spot my boy JoeKerr currently holds. The season is only about 20% over. And I will be ending the season sometime in November to have sort of an offseason, I will decide the end date when the UFC calendar shows that far ahead.

@Messiah... So any team can just drop and pick up anyone they want at anytime?

@kalibo, yeah it's been that way all year, anyone you see with a (-) under the draft tab was picked up as a free agent.

Is there anything in place to prevent "cherry picking"?  In other words, anything to prevent someone from e-stalking a player, seeing they haven't picked all the picks and dropping them and adding some random member who has picked each and every weekend?  Just curious.
