- I have several questions. - Spawn May 21, 11:48

  - And yes there has to be a cap. -- nm - Strongbad May 21, 11:31
  - That's fair. Need to establish draft order. Could lead to some wild pick swaps. -- nm - Reagen May 21, 11:31 7
    - For order...just use the 2019 standings. Last bear never happened. -- nm - Will Hunting May 21, 11:32 6

- Sounds good to me. -- nm - Shaun May 21, 11:14
- as an owner of mahommes, I would agree with that. edited for a bit more - how would we determine the value of others? based on other drafts? -- (edited) - tRuMAN May 21, 11:13 2
  - It's simpler than that. - David May 21, 11:20 1
    - aww, so then the keepers are truly more of a value consideration against what you would lose. - tRuMAN May 21, 11:26
