leagues that draft college players (1 Viewer)

[twr]

alot of people are off on the idea because they believe it devalues the value of picks... some ideas tossed around.

- only allow 1 college player to be "drafted" per team at one given time

- the round they are drafted in is burned, plus a 1st round pick next year

- only allow future college players to be drafted in the 1st round, any player selected after the first 6 picks requires an additional 1st round pick ( 12 team league )

these are some ideas iv thought of... would really appreciate some more.

Going into year 4 of a league with this feature. I'd like to say I'm one of the originators of this idea (???? prob. not, but at least I hadn't seen it done prior and apologize in advance to anybody else that has been doing it longer). It's gone over very well and definitely adds a new twist to a Dynasty league

I. College Players

One (1) College player is allowed per roster and can be held onto as long as desired, meaning teams will continue to own that player when they get drafted into the NFL, and another draft pick will not need to be forfeited to keep that College player when they turn pro. A College player is not mandatory to own, it is up to the owner if they want to make room for them on their roster. The college player needs to have lost at least one year of college eligibility to be drafted (so essentially a Sophomore, Junior or Senior). The College player is part of the roster, so room would need to be made for that player (not a separate taxi squad). College players can be drafted during our league Draft period only (not during any other FA pick up period throughout the year).

One week after the official underclassmen NFL declaration deadline has passed (late January) all college players now eligible for the upcoming NFL Draft are no longer considered “college players” and the one college player roster spot opens up for a new college prospect to be traded for or picked during our next Draft if desired.

There is to be a minimum of zero and a maximum of one college player per roster at all times. The deadline to decide whether to keep a college player on the roster, or release him to be available in our next Phenomz draft will be the Friday before the NFL draft at 5pm CST. Former owners of any dropped college players at this deadline are allowed to draft that same college player again during the next Draft. Any owners choosing to keep their present college player at this deadline will have their college player spot locked throughout our Draft and are not allowed to drop that college player until the completion of our Draft period.

College players are not allowed to be used in starting lineups until they are part of an NFL roster (thus, not making them “college players” anymore). College players can be traded like any other player/pick, but if a team acquires a second college player in a trade, or by any other means, than one of the two college players will need to be waived immediately (only one College player allowed per roster). If a college player is ever dropped from a roster, at any time, than they go back into the pool available for everyone again at our next league Draft period. The College player for each team will be entered into the website as “(Owner Name’s) College Player” as a generic placeholder and the specific College player owned for each team will be listed and updated in a thread on the message board (in same thread where future draft picks are tracked for easy reference).

I have been in this league for about 4 season. I will just give the rules and let you figure it out

RostersEFFL Roster has three componentsPro-Roster (24)College Roster (5) "You may carry more than 5 players on you college roster if you acquire additional picks"Taxi/Development Squad (3) .Pro-Draft will be 24 rounds (draft date to be annouced).College Draft will be 5 rounds (draft date to be annouced)Injured Roster1,Players may only be placed on the injured roster when they are placed on Injured Reserve by their NFL team2. Once placed on the Injured Roster, a team retains the player's rights but may not activate that player to the Prof-Roster for the remainder of the season3.Only players on the Pro-Roster are eligible for the Injured Roster4.Players on the Injured Roster do NOT count against the Pro-Roster limit5. Payers who are not retainable at the end of the season are not eligible for the Injured Roster and should be released instead.....College DraftFollowing the start of the Pro Supplemental Draft, or at the time designated by the Commissioner, the College Draft will take place.Any player with college eligibility and not on a EFFL team's college protected roster is eligible to be drafted.The College Draft will begin no later than August 15th and continue until all teams have the requisite number of players.The College Draft MUST be completed prior to the start of the College Football Season. Teams that have not selected by this point will forfeit their picks. The Commissioner will be responsible for completing the draft in a timely fashion. .The College Draft order is as follows:1. All selections are based on the order of the Pro Draft, except:2 Teams drafting 1-6 in the Pro Draft shall draft in reverse order (6-1) in the College Draft3.Teams drafting 7-12 in the Pro Draft shall draft in reverse order (1-6) in the College Draft.College RosterCollege player may be traded.College picks, maybe traded.Each team will have 5 college picks in 2005, un-less you trade any ofyour picks. A team may have more than 5 picks, if he gets picks via trade.A team may have more than 5 players on his college roster, if he has additional picks.Starting in 2006, you will have as many college picks, as vacantspots on your college roster.If you have 3 players drafted into the NFL, you will have 3 college picks..
