I'm going to entertain offers for the #1 pick for the rest of the evening and post my pick late tonight or in the morning. DeMarco Murray and LeSean McCoy are available for a WR (can include picks if necessary), or to be used to jump back up into the front half of round 1. PM me with an offer.

Keepers are set. I'm going to make my pick tonight and PM the next owner. We'll see how far we get this weekend. If necessary, I'll put slots in place on Monday. Please be active. If someone ends up not showing up, @I_GET_SAX will take over as Co-Owner, and possibly replace someone.

You don't look a day over 25!

Yeah, I would probably be down for that, assuming it's run well and everyone's active.

It'll save a headache and constant PMing, that's for sure. If I remember right, I was a Sophomore in HS. So that would have made me 15.5 at the time. I was looking for mock drafts in a personal finance class.

I reached out to RyanFuller on Facebook as well. Once he responds I'll get his stuff set up. We just need to hear from @1King and we'll be good to go.

I appreciate the suggestion. I'm a bit stuck in my ways. It's hard to believe sometimes, but I joined FF almost 12 years ago. I wish I knew how many PM's I have sent in that time. I spoke with FTW on Facebook earlier today. I'm setting his keepers now.

I don't really want to get into a debate over chatzy, but I feel that they take traffic away from the Lions forum, at least. I suppose the context is important, though. Perhaps there's a situation where one could be used, but we've never run into that situation in the Lions forum. If the option became available and our forum had one, it would definitely hurt our activity level, without a doubt.

Here are the rosters of the 3 teams who have yet to select their keepers. TL was also one of them, but he had cut his roster down to 8, so I selected them as keepers for him. These owners need to make their final selections and PM them to me so I can select them on ESPN and we can get things going. Bob Quinn’s Quicksilvers Ben Roethlisberger, QB Andy Dalton, QB Le’Veon Bell, RB Jonathan Stewart, RB Theo Riddick, RB Terrance West, RB Willie Snead, RB Jordy Nelson, WR Emmauel Sanders, WR Devante Adams, WR Brandon Marshall, WR Rob Gronkowski, TE Cameron Brate, TE Chargers D/ST Dolphins D/ST Matt Bryant, K Team 1King Tom Brady, QB Tyrod Taylor, QB Latavius Murray, RB Devonte Booker, RB Eddie Lacy, RB DeAndre Washington, RB Robert Kelley, RB AJ Green, WR DeVante Parker, WR Tyler Boyd, WR Larry Fitzgerald, WR Kevin White, WR Jason Witten, TE Coby Fleener, TE Panthers D/ST Adam Vinatieri, K Discount Double Check Aaron Rodgers, QB Thomas Rawls, RB Frank Gore, RB Todd Gurley, RB Ryan Matthews, RB DeAngelo Williams, RB Dez Bryant, WR Julian Edleman, WR Michael Crabtree, WR Will Fuller, WR DeSean Jackson, WR Delanie Walker, TE Zach Miller, TE Jets D/ST Dan Bailey, K Brandon McManus, K

We can do it on FF if everyone is willing to be active and check in. I would like to get this rolling by Friday. If we have to, though, we can do it on ESPN this year. It just depends on if everyone has transitioned over and if I can get in touch with people to finalize things. For or the teams who didn't set their keepers, they can look at the league history to view their roster from last year. Type out your keepers and PM them to me. I can enter them manually. If I have time later today I'll try to look back and PM those members. But, feel free to reach out if you're one of those owners.

It's just about that time of year, guys! What is the Adopt-A-Lion draft? Every year, as a forum, we hold a draft where members can "adopt" a player, coach, or staff member to root for during the season. How do you participate? Just post your name in this thread and I'll add your username to the list of interested posters. Once we get a good turnout (probably in a week or so, due to the transition), I will randomize the usernames and post the draft order. We will then start the draft! How do you represent your draft pick? Get creative! Work it into your posts, create interesting discussion topics, represent them in your profile picture. Whether you're a Stafford fan that wants to support his quest to become the highest paid QB in the NFL, or you're a fan of the UDFA fighting to make the roster, these guys need YOU! Have some suggestions on how to improve the process? Ideas to make this more fun? Feel free to post them, or shoot me a private message and we can explore working the new ideas into this years draft, or possibly next season. Post your Username below and let me know that you want in. I will add your name to the list

I agree. Hopefully the new look brings in some new members and fresh opinions. I'm excited to watch the battle to dethrone Naga. I have a super team in a random auction draft I did for fun late one night, and so far I only have 1 early loss. I feel like it's so much more nerve wracking having a dominant team. Every time that I have one, I end up losing in the Championship game.
