KEEPER LEAGUE - THE FINAL DECISION

"There will be no keeper league this season in CNFLE."  These were the words of league Commissioner Gordon as he finally put to bed the issue that has dominated the off-season.  Although Coach Martin's proposal scored a narrow victory in the first ever league poll to receive a 100% response the Commish decreed that the league will retain the format that has seen such phenomenal success during its 3 year lifespan.
       
With the league format now decreed all thoughts turn to this weekends live draft.  Many Coaches have turned to CBS Sports for there mock draft due to the poor availability of 12 team standard league mocks on the NFL Fantasy site.  The big problem here though are the discrepancies between the CBS and NFL player rankings.  Cam Newton 24th in CBS, 9th in NFL, Peterson 20th in CBS, 32nd in NFL to name but two.  So if you've been mock drafting on CBS or ESPN or that matter you may as well toss those plans in the bin.

Expect this years draft to be the most unpredictable to date.  The NFL has become so pass heavy that will anyone bother drafting a RB early?  Surely QB, WR is the way to go?  Will this be the year that a TE goes in the first round?  It's not as crazy as it sounds if you look at last years stats.  On top of all this there is the possibility that Coach Paul may actually turn up!

There is no pressure quite like that live draft.  Can you handle it?
