Little too late for damage control everyone or almost everyone has seen the meltdown by Eddie. Now he has placed the CTM ProBoard on Maintenance Mode until the New Year. He doesn't want those who weren't there or seen his meltdown to know about it, wouldn't surprise me if he wipes clean all or most of what he said.

Hello all. Just checked in for 1st in ages and now I find myself back on this proboard. No idea what has gone on BUT basically where Steeler Jeff and Dive go, I will follow. Simple as that! If it means leaving CTM then so be it. Keep me posted Dang Neil, looks like you haven't logged in for many moons. Everyone left CTM early Dec. It is no more. Can't believe you have no idea what went on. It got pretty ugly for quite a while, you can probably go there and read if it's still there. Anyway, we're starting the league from scratch, Steeler Jeff will be the LM. Welcome back! Let's see we have: 1) me (Bev) 2) you (Neil) 3) Steeler Jeff 4) Jeppers 5) DanB 6) the other Dan (Dirtybird) 7) Craig 8) Paul (Packdog) 9) Indydave Dirtybird is here and at CTM asking what's up in the shoutbox. Busy, forgetful, confused. IDK what's up with him lol, but he should def be back. Packdog and Indy came here when we left CTM, but haven't been here in awhile. I think we should leave messages for both at CTM in case they lost the link to here. I already PMed Dirtybird over there. EDIT: Indy was here 2/27, Packdog 3/15, so I guess they are here, and will just be more active when the league gets underway.

It makes absolute sense to start afresh with a redraft and then move it to keepers. I did pick up on a debate on CTM about keepers and their worth, and their were some players who, because drafted late then went on to be mega-studs, were left with a continually high draft round which I think is wrong. Players like LeVeon Bell, A.Brown were 8th or 9th round players. Personally, I think we just lose the 1st 3 rounds (if you choose to keep 3 players) and you have to decide if they are worth a top 3 rounds pick as a keeper. It may be that you keep only or even none if you do not think the value is correct.

I had said thats how we do it at one of my yahoo keeper leagues,but I was shot down.

I had said thats how we do it at one of my yahoo keeper leagues,but I was shot down. It would certainly be easier that way. The only thing I don't know if I love is that you might, for example, have someone you think is worth a 2nd or 3rd round keep, but not a 1st. Would we all be required to keep round 1, 2, and 3 if you keep at all? Trying to wrap my head around this. Thinking if we are required to keep at least 3, there won't be much of a disadvantage even if you keep someone you think would normally be a 5th or 6th rounder, cuz we all start drafting at the same time (round 4 or 5). IDK.

I'm not sure I like that so much. I always liked trying to find a gem later in the draft. A real sleeper if you will and then he becomes a better value the next year but I got to keep him at the pick I got him at. Maybe if we couldn't trade our keepers and could only keep them one year or something. Then they go back in the mix. At least then we could keep our gems that we researched one year, or two.
Just thinking out loud.
Maybe we could keep for one year at the draft number we drafted at and then if we want to keep a second time we had to move them to the ADP for that year.
I'm a friggin genus?

I'm a friggin genus? That sounds really complicated, at least the keeping for a 2nd time. I kinda agree, not so sure I like it. Very ambivalent. Cuz it is nice to find a gem, and thus get an edge in the draft. It's also a complicated issue not to allow trades. Like what if they are mid-season? Who's gonna keep track of all that, and 'oh no, you can't keep him, you got him in a trade'? I just think it's a good idea to keep it at least a bit simpler than it was. So if anything, you can keep once, then he becomes one of your 3 or 4 keeps. Gee, IDK. Tough tough tough.

But if you get him at 9 and he plays as well as a 1 or a 2 how can he still be a nine next year. I mean you got the goodie out of em the year he was a 9 and Wait are we debating this now? Or just chucking ideas around?

Or just chucking ideas around? What do you mean by that? Not sure what Craig is saying, cuz we can only keep a guy a 2nd time if we pick them up off the WW/FA after week 1, or traded after week 1. Craig, confused by the "move them to ADP" Like whose ADP? Cuz they don't never reflect our settings that well. Just ideas, but it's never too early.

I think craig was saying he likes finding gems late in the draft and having them as keepers. I was saying that if a guy is worthy of a keeper he should not have a 9 tag. Unless of course he is an actual 9 and you just like keeping crappy players.

I think craig was saying he likes finding gems late in the draft and having them as keepers. I was saying that if a guy is worthy of a keeper he should not have a 9 tag. Unless of course he is an actual 9 and you just like keeping crappy players. For all my keepers did for me last year, Bell wasn't worth the 9th round tag, neither was McKinnon the 7th. Fitz was a 10th rounder, and while finishing 5th in 2017, he was 30th in 2018. Cooper Kupp my 14th rounder wound up playing only 7 games, finishing 51st after averaging 23 ppg the 1st 5 games. Think I figured out what Craig meant about trading. You can't trade someone that you kept. But really, it should be that you can trade mid-season, but the person you traded them to cannot keep them. But that would be a potential mess to keep track of? Maybe not - if no one tries to pull a fast one. lol It would certainly result in fewer trades in the off-season, right? Less pressure? Just thought of an interesting strategy in keeping the 1st 4 rounds, but it's only good if you're the only one doing it, or maybe one other person. If your squad is not great, don't keep anyone. That assures your 1st round choice, and probably your 2nd, even 3rd. Ya know what would be fun? If we could all declare our keepers to a trusted (to keep their mouths shut) 3rd party not in the league. Then announce them all at once a week before the draft. Not sure how much draft position would come into play.
