    Do I have to keep guys? If the top 4 picks are keepers, and it doesn't matter where we drafted, the only guy I'd pick in the top 4 rounds is hurt.

    So should the keepers be the last picks? Everyone leaves the keepers alone, and start drafting w/ round one and keep picking until you fill your roster minus your keepers. Then pick your keepers last.

    that's what I'm trying to figure out, how they plan on doing this. I always assumed keepers were kept at their correct round, but nobody bothered to put that info down apparently.

    Whoever's deciding the rules, LMK so I can decide if I want to keep any of these jackbags on my roster.

    This obviously should have been decided beforehand, but there are a couple of different ways in which leagues handle keepers.

    #1) Keep X number of players in the round that they were drafted. Personally I like this method because it allows for a wider variety of players to be kept, but the problem is that it can cause severe competitive imbalance if someone drafts a relative unknown near the end of the draft and he suddenly becomes a fantasy stud. Also, you usually need some sort of limit on how many years a player can be kept in this system. You don't want Larry Johnson being a 6th round pick for the next five plus years, for instance.

    #2) Keep X number of players based on the round they were drafted, but bump them up one round for every year that they're kept. This is one way of getting around the aforementioned problem if you don't favor limitations on how long a player can be kept by one team. So, for instance, if you drafted Larry Johnson in the 6th round then he would count as a 5th round pick this year, a 4th round pick next year, etc.

    #3) Allocate keepers to either the first X or last X number of rounds in the draft regardless of their original draft position. This is probably the least confusing approach, and while it does tend to mean that only a fairly small group of players are worthy of keeper consideration and thus there is somewhat less strategy involved, it tends to avoid some of the competitive imbalance issues in the other models.
