You can do it yourself by highlighting all of the names on your predraft list and hitting "remove" until they're all gone. Then re-enter your picks and save. Rinse repeat for each round.Brian,Can you cancel my pre-draft list when you get a chance? I gotta update it and hopefully by the time I get home I'll be able to make my pick.I'm assuming if Faletti/Parrish/Tonn/ pick before me I won't be able to.

Time for a long overdue pick recap:
21.01(321)Mathis, Rashean - He's a solid CB1 year after year and mixes in his share of big plays to boot. I waited until a lot of guys were off the board and then grabbed him.
22.16(352) Anderson, James - He's slated to be the second year starter at WLB in Carolina and may take over the very valuable MLB spot in that defense.
24.16(384) Wiggins, Jermaine - this is a TE-heavy league and I only have two TE's; I'm also a little light at RB2, so I need TE depth for options. Wiggins is a dependable if unexciting addition here.
25.01(385) McFadden, Bryant - He took over the starting job late last season and was scoring reasonably well. Now that they're going to a Cover-2 scheme with Timlin, I like his prospects. It was probably a bit early to pick him here though.
25.07(391) Dobbins, Tim - One word: depth. Dobbins is talented and figures to start in San Diego for a long time.
26.16(416) Dumervil, Elvis - I'm pretty set at DE going forward with Peppers and Suggs, but for bye week and injury purposes I'd like to have a young guy with upside to fill in, and Dumerville quietly grabbed 7 sacks last year in limited action as a rookie.
27.01(417) Kaeding, Nate - It looked to me like the kickers were going to start going off the board, so I opted to go for a young guy with a strong leg and a good offense in good weather before I had my choices limited. We get bonuses for long FG's.
28.16(448) Wallace, Seneca - With Carr as my QB2 with his future very much in doubt, I wanted a guy who might be able to start in the not too distant future (likely with another team). It's a relative long-shot perhaps, but I needed depth at this position, and I went for depth with upside.
29.01(449) Williams, Jamal - DT, like CB, can be tough to predict year to year. Williams is as solid and reliable as anyone at DT/NT in fantasy so I grabbed him.
30.10(474) Williams, Jamar - He was drafted to take over for Briggs at WLB until he was derailed last year as a rookie by a knee injury. We'll see if he recovers, but he'll certainly get a second chance at a great job.
32.16(512) Thomas, Anthony - I love this pick here. He's a steal as a RB2 prospect here, and the fact that he fits a need for me is even better.
33.01(513) Quarles, Shelton - I've gone with the youth movement at LB, so I need a veteran who can contribute for another year or two (maybe) if I need to buy time for my youngsters to settle in.
My current roster:
QB - Bulger, Carr, S. Wallace
RB - Tomlinson, L. White, C. Brown, C. Houston, A. Thomas

TE - Scheffler, Graham, Wiggins

If you consider that Smith had one huge weakness...the lack of a stud RB, I think his trades were well worth what he is getting. And I also don't think Lynch is anywhere near Peterson in terms of being a future stud RB. To get a RB of that caliber costs....and he really didn't give up all that much in my opinion. The original deal he gave up his 2008 1st, but got 2007 2.01 and 2.15. He turned around and traded 2.01, along with 2.08 to get a 2008 1st from another owner.I look at the net of the 2 trades, and think it was well worth it to get a stud like AP.
I give a big
to his move up to 1.01.

This is the best current team in my opinion. About the only weakness is backup QB...and that is only because of the uncertainty regarding Carr. He has some elite IDP's, especially Peppers and Wilson. A nice core of offensive players led by LT, Bulger, Colston, Burress, and Scheffler, who put up Gates like numbers the last 4 weeks. He seemed to have a chemistry with Cutler, and will only get better. Graham was a great pick IMO, and Porter may very well wind up being the best value pick of the draft, if he can get his head on straight. His starters are unmatched in my opinion, up to now.

I agree with Lions there, that team is the one to beat, he has done a tremendous job so far.Graham and Porter were fabulous picks when they were taken, agreed. Not sure I would say that Chris has the "best" team....but he does look very solid.

Lots have happened since Round 28.34.07 Griese, Brian CHI QB
36.07 Bollinger, Brooks MIN QB
Two QBs with upside. Griese is self-explanatory with Rex, but Bollinger is allegedly competing with Tarvaris. Either way, nice to have both.
37.04 Ward, Derrick NYG RB
Second RB on the roster right now for the Giants. Also an interesting pickup if Buckhalter goes to the G-men.
37.10 McMullen, Billy MIN WR
Former Eagle is doing well with the Vikings (and TJax) and is a nice sleeper. He actually can catch over half his targets.
36.04 Akers, David PHI PK
My #1 PK in the 36th round. Sounds good to me.
38.07. Tapp, Darryl SEA DE ®
The former Hokie had a nice first year, and he's already Top 50 DL on most Dynasty lists.
37.10 Banta-Cain, Tully NEP LB
Either a solid young LB in NE, or possibly the next SF LB that does well. Either way, I like the upside.
37.02 Sheppard, Lito PHI CB
Can't have too many Eagles, right? Actually he's about my 5th or 6th (Westbrook, Avant, Akers, possibly C-Buck) but he's a solid Pro Bowl corner.
34.15 Brown, Mike CHI S (I)
33.10 Bullocks, Josh NOS S
37.14 Smith, Anthony PIT S ®
32.70 Smith, Dwight MIN S
That "I" next to Mike Brown means injured, but it could also mean "Incredible" Value. This guy was lights out good two years ago, so I'll take that chance.
Bullocks is a bright young prospect for the Saints in a bad secondary.
Not an expert on Anthony Smith, but Bloom says he's good so that works for me
. Actually I do know him - 3rd rounder from Syracuse, started in December. Good young prospect.Daryl Smith is an oldie but a goodie. Actually he's on the right side of 30, but he might not be a Viking much longer. Their secondary is a mess, but he's a solid S in a league where good DBs stick around.
I also traded 2 4th round rookies and a 5th rounder for 3 veteran picks. I figured that my 4 rookies picks (1.05, 1.07, 1.08 and 2.10) are worth enough, and then there is enough value to scoop up in the veteran rounds.

I like Redman's team quite a bit overall, but am not crazy about his linebackers. Not much IDP depth in general, but that's easier to build at this point than depth at the other positions.
Tomlinson gives him a huge advantage over any other team, but I think my team should be able to compete with him and any other in year 1.

34.16(544) Milloy, Lawyer - Depth pick. He doesn't make many "big plays", but he's still good for tackles which works just fine on a bye week.
35.01(545) Martin, Ingle - With Aaron Rodgers apparently not impressing, Martin seems as much in the mix as anyone to start for the Packers in 2008 when Favre retires . . . Favre's going to retire, right? Eventually?
36.16(576) Dyson, Andre - He's young, he starts, and he tackles a good amount for a CB. What's not to like? Anyway, Dyson's don't have sucking problems, right?
37.01(577) Hilliard, Ike - I like Ike, but let's be honest, I hope to God that I never have to start him . . . but if I did, I can rest easy knowing that he has Bruce Almighty and The Spleen lobbing the rock at him.

I wrapped up my vet draft tonight with a total of 50 players (three second round rookie picks yet to go). Overall, I'd have to say I am very pleased with how my draft worked out. There are 3-4 picks I'd like to have back in hindsight. Considering I did this draft in the midst of working 14 hours per day, 6-7 days per week though, I can't complain. 
QB - McNabb, Hasselbeck, Garrard, J. McCown. I'd say I have the deepest QB pool in the league, easy.
RB - R. Johnson, D. McAllister, Norwood, G. Jones, K. Barlow, M. Smith, J. Griffith. Respectable. Nothing "earth-shattering", but I think I have a decent enough mix of young guys and guys in their prime to do okay.
WR - R. Brown, S. Holmes, D. Branch, M. Furrey, Mi. Clayton, A. Lelie, K. Colbert. Same story as at RB, only younger. Clayton, Lelie and Colbert are all young(er) guys who have talent and potential but have been underwhelming for a season or two. I have the most hope of a turn-around with Clayton, then Lelie as a distant second. Colbert is more of a low-odds roll of the dice, but as my 50th player selected, I thought it was worth a flier.
TE - B. Watson, J. Stevens. A very solid 1-2 punch at TE, in my opinion. I'd feel better if I had a third solid TE to help shield me from injuries, but those two are as good a TE tandem as all but 3-4 other teams in the league.
K - A. Vinatieri, J. Brown. I couldn't resist "loading up" a bit at the position, as at the point I drafted those guys, all of my other "need" areas had been resolved.
DT - L. Castillo (DE?), Redding, K. Williams, J. Henderson. A solid DT corps. Very solid.
DE - W. Smith, P. Kerney, V. Adeyanju, M. Roth, M. Spears. I wanted ONE more guy in the "Will Smith" tier/basket, but the draft didn't shake out that way for me. Still, I am very happy with what I have, as I think I've got a nice mix of "prime" and "young" guys to ride for the indefinite future.
LB - L Fletcher-Baker, B. Scott, E. Sims, Derrick Johnson, T. Davis, L. Hill, B. Leber, C. Miller. Terry has a better "now" LB corps, but if there is a better set of young LBs in Red Dog, I would like to see it. A definite area of strength on my roster as I prepare to run the 3-4 for the indefinite future.
CB - C. Tillman, Winfield, D. Hall, Trufant, N. Harper, D. Hester. A solid mix of "prime" and "youth", with Devin Hester being one of the fun "flier" picks for me late. Our league rewards punt and kickoff returns for TDs....and Bears GM Jerry Angelo has recently talked about the Bears using Hester as a WR. If Hester can get on the field in nickel/dime situations, as well as the occasional WR set, he could actually be a sneaky three-way type of player. Spectacular on special teams, but also padding his FP totals with the occasional tackle or reception.
S - Sanders, M. Williams, Bethea, C. Harris, K. Simpson. Another area of strength on my team, in my opinion. Sanders and Harris struggled with injuries last year, but once both players return to form, this will be a lights-out unit.....the best in Red Dog.
Lights-out at every position? Hardly. SOLID/deep at every position? Yep. Top-five team in the Red Dog once all of the dust settles? Probably.
It was a fun draft. I still wish I had another 5-6 picks so I could load-up on a few more solid IDP guys that shouldn't still be on the board. However, now I get to shift into "rookie" mode as I try and figure out what to do with the #29, #31 and #32 overall........

Overall, I'd have to say I am very pleased with how my draft worked out. There are 3-4 picks I'd like to have back in hindsight. Considering I did this draft in the midst of working 14 hours per day, 6-7 days per week though, I can't complain.
QB - McNabb, Hasselbeck, Garrard, J. McCown. I'd say I have the deepest QB pool in the league, easy.
RB - R. Johnson, D. McAllister, Norwood, G. Jones, K. Barlow, M. Smith, J. Griffith. Respectable. Nothing "earth-shattering", but I think I have a decent enough mix of young guys and guys in their prime to do okay.
WR - R. Brown, S. Holmes, D. Branch, M. Furrey, Mi. Clayton, A. Lelie, K. Colbert. Same story as at RB, only younger. Clayton, Lelie and Colbert are all young(er) guys who have talent and potential but have been underwhelming for a season or two. I have the most hope of a turn-around with Clayton, then Lelie as a distant second. Colbert is more of a low-odds roll of the dice, but as my 50th player selected, I thought it was worth a flier.
TE - B. Watson, J. Stevens. A very solid 1-2 punch at TE, in my opinion. I'd feel better if I had a third solid TE to help shield me from injuries, but those two are as good a TE tandem as all but 3-4 other teams in the league.
K - A. Vinatieri, J. Brown. I couldn't resist "loading up" a bit at the position, as at the point I drafted those guys, all of my other "need" areas had been resolved.
DT - L. Castillo (DE?), Redding, K. Williams, J. Henderson. A solid DT corps. Very solid.
DE - W. Smith, P. Kerney, V. Adeyanju, M. Roth, M. Spears. I wanted ONE more guy in the "Will Smith" tier/basket, but the draft didn't shake out that way for me. Still, I am very happy with what I have, as I think I've got a nice mix of "prime" and "young" guys to ride for the indefinite future.
LB - L Fletcher-Baker, B. Scott, E. Sims, Derrick Johnson, T. Davis, L. Hill, B. Leber, C. Miller. Terry has a better "now" LB corps, but if there is a better set of young LBs in Red Dog, I would like to see it. A definite area of strength on my roster as I prepare to run the 3-4 for the indefinite future.
CB - C. Tillman, Winfield, D. Hall, Trufant, N. Harper, D. Hester. A solid mix of "prime" and "youth", with Devin Hester being one of the fun "flier" picks for me late. Our league rewards punt and kickoff returns for TDs....and Bears GM Jerry Angelo has recently talked about the Bears using Hester as a WR. If Hester can get on the field in nickel/dime situations, as well as the occasional WR set, he could actually be a sneaky three-way type of player. Spectacular on special teams, but also padding his FP totals with the occasional tackle or reception.
S - Sanders, M. Williams, Bethea, C. Harris, K. Simpson. Another area of strength on my team, in my opinion. Sanders and Harris struggled with injuries last year, but once both players return to form, this will be a lights-out unit.....the best in Red Dog.
Lights-out at every position? Hardly. SOLID/deep at every position? Yep. Top-five team in the Red Dog once all of the dust settles? Probably.
It was a fun draft. I still wish I had another 5-6 picks so I could load-up on a few more solid IDP guys that shouldn't still be on the board. However, now I get to shift into "rookie" mode as I try and figure out what to do with the #29, #31 and #32 overall........

38.16(608) Sanders, James - Heir apparent to Rodney Harrison in NE? Trouble is Rodney's career is as hard to kill as a cockroach.
39.01(609) Harris, Arlen - KJ's recovery is in doubt, and a lot of people are not enamored of Calhoun, so . . .
40.16(640) Frerotte, Gus - Probably the most glaring problem on my team is the backup QB situation. I've got behind Bulger, David Carr and a bunch of guys who may play in 2008 and beyond. I need a guy who is guaranteed to be starting in 2007 if Bulger goes down, so Bulger's backup seems like the best choice.
41.01(641) Knight, Sammy - Again, a good, solid backup safety to have, a lot like Milloy.
My current roster:
QB - Bulger, Carr, S. Wallace, I. Martin, Frerotte
RB - Tomlinson, L. White, C. Brown, C. Houston, A. Thomas, A. Harris
WR - Colston, Burress, Henry, Randle El, Baskett, J. Porter, Hilliard
TE - Scheffler, Graham, Wiggins
K - Kaeding
DT - J. Williams
DE - Peppers, Suggs, Dumervil
LB - Pierce, Hayes, Gaither, A. Brooks, J. Anderson, Dobbins, J. Williams, Quarles
CB - Mathis, McFadden, Dyson
S - A. Wilson, N. Collins, Milloy, J. Sanders, S. Knight

:(Why is Rudnicki posting in here but not making his pick?

39.10 Rayner, Dave GBP PK Second kicker, again young with a good leg. Only knock would be the Frozen Tundra.Lots have happened since Round 28.34.07 Griese, Brian CHI QB
36.07 Bollinger, Brooks MIN QB
Two QBs with upside. Griese is self-explanatory with Rex, but Bollinger is allegedly competing with Tarvaris. Either way, nice to have both.
37.04 Ward, Derrick NYG RB
Second RB on the roster right now for the Giants. Also an interesting pickup if Buckhalter goes to the G-men.
37.10 McMullen, Billy MIN WR
Former Eagle is doing well with the Vikings (and TJax) and is a nice sleeper. He actually can catch over half his targets.
36.04 Akers, David PHI PK
My #1 PK in the 36th round. Sounds good to me.
38.07. Tapp, Darryl SEA DE ®
The former Hokie had a nice first year, and he's already Top 50 DL on most Dynasty lists.
37.10 Banta-Cain, Tully NEP LB
Either a solid young LB in NE, or possibly the next SF LB that does well. Either way, I like the upside.
37.02 Sheppard, Lito PHI CB
Can't have too many Eagles, right? Actually he's about my 5th or 6th (Westbrook, Avant, Akers, possibly C-Buck) but he's a solid Pro Bowl corner.
34.15 Brown, Mike CHI S (I)
33.10 Bullocks, Josh NOS S
37.14 Smith, Anthony PIT S ®
32.70 Smith, Dwight MIN S
That "I" next to Mike Brown means injured, but it could also mean "Incredible" Value. This guy was lights out good two years ago, so I'll take that chance.
Bullocks is a bright young prospect for the Saints in a bad secondary.
Not an expert on Anthony Smith, but Bloom says he's good so that works for me. Actually I do know him - 3rd rounder from Syracuse, started in December. Good young prospect.
Daryl Smith is an oldie but a goodie. Actually he's on the right side of 30, but he might not be a Viking much longer. Their secondary is a mess, but he's a solid S in a league where good DBs stick around.
I also traded 2 4th round rookies and a 5th rounder for 3 veteran picks. I figured that my 4 rookies picks (1.05, 1.07, 1.08 and 2.10) are worth enough, and then there is enough value to scoop up in the veteran rounds.
40.07 Shipp, Marcel ARI RB
Rumors abound on where this free agent RB goes. Giants? Denver? Detroit's out now, but he could go a lot of places, and he's under 30.
41.10 Glover, La' roi STL DT
Extremely talented DT, and a nice compliment to Kelly Gregg. DT's the least glamorous position of IDP, so two solid vets sounds great to me.
Six more vet picks to go....

Derek, I've been watching the draft from the begining. I don't understand the point about your LB corps. London Fletcher -31, Bart Scott - 26, Ernie Sims - 22, Derek Johnson - 24, Thomas Davis - 23, Leroy Hill - 24, Ben Leber - 28 and Caleb Miller - 26. Your Average age at Lineback is 25.5. Terry's Linebackers, Eric Alexander - 25, Boss Bailey - 27, Manny Lawson - 22, Shawne Merriman - 22 (yes he is only 22), DeMeco Ryans - 22, Demarcus Ware - 24, Brian Urlacher - 28 and Rod Wilson - 25. Terry's Average age is 24.3. So it looks to me like he has a very good set of young linebackers at his disposal.
I wrapped up my vet draft tonight with a total of 50 players (three second round rookie picks yet to go). Overall, I'd have to say I am very pleased with how my draft worked out.
