Let's say I draft or keep a WR in the 3th round, and he is out, susp, IR, for whatever reason - and I drop him, knowing I have #1 WW priority. If I picked him up would he become a 8th rounder? Or would that rule apply to anyone but me? I'm guessing the latter, especially since I've been a proponent of when you pick a guy up off the WW/FA that you drafted 12th, even weeks after you dropped him, he retains 12th round status. But I'd just like to clarify this once and for all to add this amendment to the constitution. It's gotta be one way or the other. They retain draft status up or down, IOW to your benefit or detriment if you're the own picking him up again. Or, the other way would be that that player loses his draft status the minute you drop him. That would be a minor but interesting WW strategy, in terms of saving your priority. Hope that's even a little clear. lol EDIT: Come to think of it, the success of that strategy doesn't seem right, like maybe unfair. You could be adversely affected right after the draft. Doesn't the guy who picks last get #1 WW priority? You could conceivably drop your 1st rounder and make him a 7th. lol Okay, not good, but whaddaya think if anything?

I would think if you picked him up off ww he would be under the ww rules. Dropping him and using your number one priority is kind of dirty trick but you do lose your priority which can be worth a lot when one of my Chargers comes into stardom in the middle of the season and you need him but I get him.

My question here was 'should it be allowed or not?' In the past, and it's rarely come up, but I believe that let's say you dropped a guy you drafted 12th, and dropped him, who knows someone else might have added and dropped him along the way... but if you finally picked him up again, he'd retain 12th round status. I recall arguing this once and winning. And it was not a scenario that I just brought up (moving an early draft to a later round). But this was probably the original GY league. Ancient history, all rules are up for discussion. Well, so far, it isn't even a rule here. Just anticipating the possibility. Yes, it is a dirty trick. Well we like to call that 'good game strategy' around here. haha Good point on losing your WW priority. But that would be small potatoes if your 1st round stud could now be kept as a 7th, and traded as such as well in 2 years. What do you think? Asking for input on what they should be.

I agree with the jeepers dude. You shouldn't be allowed to drop a number one pick and pick him back up just to get a better draft spot for him.
It would become an every year thing the last week of the season for whoever is number one on the ww.

No he would not become an 8th round pick, if you pick him back up he would retain his 3rd round draft pick. 2) Yes the person who picks last in the draft has the #1 WW priority.

You can also say it's cheating because you would be getting an unfair advantage over the rest of the league & something that could destroy the league..

Has anyone done a mock draft on nfl.com yet? I just did half of one and it is a totally different draft room. You should all check it out to familiarize yourself with it.

By the same token, if you drop someone you drafted round 12, and manage to get him back by end of season, he retains 12th round regardless of who else has picked him up and dropped him in between. Right? Has anyone done a mock draft on nfl.com yet? I just did half of one and it is a totally different draft room. You should all check it out to familiarize yourself with it. Do you mean different from the way it's been for years in the real draft room? Don't think I've ever done a mock at NFL, at least not in the past few years. But I will. Usually do them at FFC. But this year, they seem to be offering every kinda draft at every # of people in it, and at a far greater frequency. So there are few humans in it, they don't fill up. You're drafting with bots, which always draft the same. Thanks.
