Everyone is free to move their 2nd-6th round draft picks to their development squad.

Players still on the development squad can be promoted at 2018 salaries until the start of free agency in a week or 2.

Can rookies we win in free agency for $1k be put on the development squad?

What's the max amount of players we can have on the DS?

Pretty happy to get Simmons this late in the draft. That could be a massive pick for my DL rotation

I like your entire draft in general. I think you’ve done a great job picking from the 12 slot. Another big year for the defending champ?

My bubble is going to burst a bit quicker than it might seem i think, i really am not a fan of my WRs
Ill be active in the trade market with my glut of RBs looking to get something done at WR to help balance... but yeah i set this team up 12 months ago with a huge FA haul to have like a 2-3 year window, and im confident ill be in the thick of it again this year

Warring is a great option this late, plenty of potential there
I was hoping he'd go before me because i'd have felt obligated to take him and i already had Irv Smith

Thornhill is a good pick up too, had hoped he'd make it to me

Haha shit. Took Daniel Jones accidentally. Oh well, I’ll stash him for a few years. Could be a good selection eventually.

Yeah that's not bad, you'll get to clear that Carr albatross contract off your books next year, and then you have Jones as a back up to Cam.
Id have taken Jones a round ago if i didnt have Wentz and Jimmy G for locked in for the next 2 years

Did I read somewhere that we can add players to the taxi squad now? I’m unable to do so, it says all my players are ineligible. Maybe I’m jumping the gun?

Yeah i noticed the same too, think we just cool our jets and wait for this draft to finish up and then it'll get sorted before FA starts

Try now. Site updated their options so I had to specify what players can be demoted.

Rookie draft picks from the 2nd round and down only for the developers squad + any undrafted rookie acquired in free agency on a maximum $1000 contract.

4 taxi squad slots.

Once a player is promoted they can't be demoted again. Salary is as per the salaries thread when promoted, up to a 5-year contract assigned.

All demotions need to be finalised before the season starts. Once the season kicks off you can only promote players.

We are getting to the end of the draft.

Free agency will start at a random time on Sunday 28th July. Gives a week to get ready/research.

You can PM or email me 2 nominations (name and bid amount) for the start of the draft. If owners nominate the same player, highest bid wins, if it's the same bid amount, it's whoever nominated first.

I'll put up those nominated bids, send an email out, then it's open slather.

Auctions will end after 48 hours of no activity.

Post contract years in the Auction Results - Contract Designations thread. Up to 5 years.

Be mindful of these 2 points:

The salary cap is $200,000, but you have a limit of $220,000 through the auction to allow flexibility.

The roster limit is 34, but you have 37 through the auction to allow flexibility.

I liked my draft, traded away my 1st and 2nd last year and turned those into Kerryon Johnson and Lamar Jackson, happy with that.

Diontae Johnson in the 3rd is ok, he has an opportunity to get a decent number of snaps, 2 LBs with 3-down opportunities in the next year or 2, and Boykin was a steal, he was on my shortlist the whole way through, perfect dev guy while the Ravens sort out what's what at WR.
