    Well, till the lockout is over, I figure we need some football stuff to keep us busy. I got this idea from the Fantasy Draft option in Madden, but more interactive and purposefully subjective.

    Here's how it works:

    1. A small number of guys (max 12) sign up for the game here.

    2. Over the next few weeks we'll run a snake-style draft picked from ALL active NFL players (no retirees, no rookies). Each guy will select a full NFL starting lineup consisting of the following:

    OFFENSE

    -1 QB
    -Your choice of five "skill guys" (RBs and WRs)
    -Your choice of two "flex" guys (TEs and FBs)
    -Full O-line (LT, LG, C, RG, RT)

    DEFENSE

    Either base 3-4...

    1 NT
    2 DEs
    2 OLBs
    2 ILBs
    2 CBs
    1 FS
    1 SS

    Or base 4-3...

    2 DTs (DT and NT)
    2 DEs (LDE and RDE)
    1 MLB
    2 OLBs (Strong-side and weak-side)
    2 CBs
    1 FS
    1 SS

    Plus...

    1 Nickel CB
    1 "alt" D-lineman (pass-rushing specialist, run-stuffing specialist, your choice)

    For a total roster of 26 (no Ks and no Ps UNLESS the players vote to do so by a majority).

    3. We'll do the draft snake-style: First in Round 1 goes last in Round 2, and so on and so forth. Once you are on the clock, you have 12 hours to make your next pick, or you lose the pick. Pick order will be assigned at random.

    4. If you lose a pick, you get to fill your empty slot in the very last "makeup" round.

    5. At the end of the draft, we post the full rosters for the Board, and the Board votes on who has put together the best team.

    It's kind of unfair IMO because we don't actually have pro results to compare them to. Right now their abilities--for better or for worse--are total speculation. So you can get or lose votes based on what people THINK Rookie X is going to be like and not based on what he's done so far to substantiate that.

    But we can make that another thing to vote on, along with Ks and Ps, if enough people really want to do that.

    What team name ya want, man?

    I'm in.

    Titans Colors.

    Team name: Long Island Titans

    I think we should be able to select drafted players as they are now (or pretty much now) in the league.

    I think we SHOULD also draft a kicker and a punter.

    We could also put this on next years Madden perhaps and see how it simulates.

    I think we should have 24 hours to make a selection as 12 hours could go by without me knowing a selection has been made. I can't check this site every 12 hours. Or perhaps when our pick is near we can email the commish with a list of our next 5 guys in order and if we don't make a selection in the allotted time, the commish selects the highest ranked player on your list.
