2009 TBL2 Rookie/UFA Draft

[Nea Kameni]

I noticed the league article on draft order (12/7) and the MFL site "Future Draft Pick" page contradict themselves. Can we get an updated listing of the draft order? And yes I am thinking/working on next years draft. Gotta love Fantasy Football.

Also, as I recalled, when we were talking about adding IDPs last year, we discussed not allowing IDP's drafted prior to the 4th round. This was due to some teams already trading away draft picks in future years, i.e. 2009 picks. Am I correct? ;D

Yes. For the 2009 draft, (and the 2009 draft only), IDP's can only be drafted starting in the 5th round. That was done becuase EVERYBODY was given a 5th and 6th round pick for 2009. Since some GM's had already traded away their 1st thru 4th round picks for 2009, this was the fairest... most fair?.... ok, fairest way to implement/introduce the IDP's in a fair manner for all. In 2010 - you can draft an IDP wherever the heck you want.

The draft "order" is just the order in which your picks WOULD be, if you haven't traded them away. The Future Draft Pick page won't be updated until the new MFL season starts, which I think isn't until March. You know how these sites have to "reset" themselves and get ready for the next year. So, even though Hive has the #1 overall pick in 2009 - he doesn't - because he traded it away. If you're asking for a "true" draft order - meaning - #1 pick = Condors (from Hive) - like that, then I'll try to update that as soon as I can.
