Todd Gurley will be my only keeper and he will be a 3rd round pick this year.

Well on second thought I'll keep Hopkins (2nd Rd) and Gurley (3rd Rd).

I have a wedding that day. I thought we were talking about midweek after the third preseason game. August 6 is way too early

August 6th is just temporary. I had to pick a date that was earlier so I could adjust the keeper rules that needed changing. We can come up with a later date that works for everyone.

Might I suggest we come up with a keeper change deadline? I don't want to be held to what I'm saying in July, but commish shouldn't have to be making changes right up to draft night, either.

Agree with this. Maybe once we come up with a hard date for the draft I propose we make the keeper date one week before that date. That should give me plenty of time to approve everyone's selections and adjust the draft order.

I'm definitely still in. I will have to look at the keeper thing, but way later in August for draft would be appreciated!

I think we're going to shoot for the third week of the preseason for the draft.

You should try to do it after the 3rd week if possible, because that is when starters play the most. They receive no playing time in the 4th week.

Proposal:

Keeper deadline Monday August 29th. This is the day after all preseason week 3 games are completed.

Draft the evening of Sunday September 4th. This would be after all preseason games have been played.

I, personally, don't want to draft during the ND game. 😉

Oh shit forgot about the switch to Sunday.

Alright how about Keeper deadline Monday August 29th and the draft Friday September 2nd?

Texas weekend is not going to work for me. Can we just do it the Thursday night before Texas? Weeknights are usually easier for everyone anyway.

Why can't we just do it that Sunday after week 3 of preseason?

Is that the Sunday before Texas? That's good with me.

The problem is that I will need time between the keeper deadline and the draft. If the draft is right after week 3 of the preseason then people are going to have to pick their keepers before week 3 when the starters get the bulk of their action.

It's not that difficult to know who you want to keep. We are making this process more complicated then needed.

I agree with bkess. It's really not that complicated. If you are keeping someone because of the preseason you are doing it wrong IMO. I am fine with any night August 28-September 1st. Preferably as late as possible.

I agree. Only thing I would add is that if one of your keepers is injured during that week 3 preseason game, we should be able to adjust. I get that, administratively, you can't do all the keepers the day of the draft. But presumably not a ton of guys are going to be severely injured that weekend so we would be talking about making a couple changes, if any.
