OK. The draft is set for Sunday, September 2 at 8:00 p.m. CT. All ticklers must be set by Saturday, September 1. Keepers must be set on Yahoo. You can choose your keepers by going to the league page on Yahoo, then go to the "My Team" menu and select "Choose Keepers."

2017 draft results are available at: https://archive.fantasysports.yahoo.com/...aftresults
Note that we had a lot of draft picks traded. You can see who has picks in each round at: https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com...radedpicks
Keeper Rules:
1. You can keep a maximum of 2 players.
2. Players are kept 1 round higher than the previous year (e.g., a 2016 4th round pick can be kept as a 2013 3rd round pick). The exception to this is that both 1st and 2nd round picks are kept as 1st round picks.
3. Players are kept according to their prior year draft status even if later released and claimed off waivers or acquired as a free agent.
4. Players that went entirely undrafted the previous year are kept as 7th round picks.
5. If you don't have a pick available, then the next highest pick is used. For example, if you want to keep 2 undrafted players, then it will cost a 6th & 7th round pick to keep them. This also means that you can't keep both your prior year's 1st & 2nd round picks unless you have two 1st round picks.
6. A new rule adopted for this year is that if you keep a player higher than is required because you don't have the appropriate draft pick available, then you can use the "correct spot" the following year. So, let's say you want to keep a player that went undrafted last year, but you don't have either a 7th or 6th round pick. This year, you would have to use a 5th round pick. However, next year, you could keep that player in the 6th round instead of the 4th round, because his keeper spot this year *should have* been the 7th round instead of the 5th. It is the responsibility of the player using a better pick than required to inform the commissioners that this has happened.

This is not some silly theory that's unsupported and deserves being mocked by photos of Xena.
