I realize that there are an odd number of teams, but between drops and adds there will be an even number by draft day.
Man...7th pick sucks, all the elite RBs will be gone unless someone goes after Vick way early...

Never traded draft picks in a fantasy league before...how would it work?

If you trade picks, what you need to do is tell the guy you trade with who to draft at the pick(s) he traded to you and vice-versa. After the draft, you then trade each other all those players. Pretty simple, but anyone who does this must read my latest note on the league main page.

That said, it's a bit early to know if the 1st pick is worth having. Also, I've never noticed much of a relationship between draft position and success, a good player will do well regardless of where he drafts.

I have pick 4 and would consider trading down to 7, maybe my 1st and 4th for your 1st and 2nd. I think there's a shot a top RB will drop to 7, since you know Vick will go and some fool always picks a WR up there.

For you Football fans.....

Former Cowboy sued over auto repair bill
Associated Press

DALLAS -- A judge listened to testimony Monday and is expected to rule soon whether former Dallas Cowboy Deion Sanders owes money to a body shop for work done on his vintage 1961 Lincoln Continental convertible.

State District Judge Joe Cox took the case under advisement after the one-day trial, said court administrator Donna Bouthton.

The owner of the repair shop said Sanders wanted to pay only $1,500 of the $4,265.57 bill, saying that Jesus had informed him that was all he needed to pay.

"It's the 'Praise Jesus' discount,'' attorney Ed Edson told The Dallas Morning News in Monday's editions.

Edson said he has been trying to collect the bill from Sanders since 2001 on behalf of Phil Compton, the owner of the car repair business.

Through court filings, the player says the accusations are untrue. Sanders was in the courtroom Monday but did not testify.

Anthony Montoya, a representative for Sanders, had contacted Compton and told him the convertible needed to be towed to his shop for repairs. The car had been repaired before by Compton.

Papers filed in his lawsuit stated that he and his mechanics installed a new radiator and thermostat, flushed the engine, repaired the car's electrical system and gauges, replaced the starter motor, removed contaminated fuel and rebuilt the carburetor. Mechanics for Magrathea Inc., Compton's company, had replaced gaskets and hoses.

Sanders had approved and Montoya had approved all the repairs, according to the lawsuit. But when the car was returned to the CBS sportscaster's home in Plano on Nov. 5, 2001, Compton said Pilar Sanders, the former Cowboy's wife, "answered the door, took the keys and invoices, started the car to make sure it was working and went back into the locked house, refusing to return the keys or invoices.''

Sanders' bodyguards and housekeepers then moved their cars in front of and behind the Lincoln so that it couldn't be towed back to the garage, the lawsuit stated.

When Sanders drove up, he refused to pay the invoice amount, handing Compton a $1,500 check and saying, "Praise Jesus ... I follow what in my heart I'm told to pay.''

Usually 60-90 minutes. Each person has 90 seconds per pick but most take only a few seconds.
