So, this weekend I'll email the first few teams on this list, asking them for picks. As the ball gets rolling next week, I'll ask you participants to email me your picks.
We have one person doubling up, but I would like to change that. If possible (and this is only happening if the people involved are cool with it) I'd like to have saintnixon switch from the Patriots to the Rams, allowing JPBarnett to focus on the Raiders. Our nemesis at Pats Pulpit, MaPatsFan, has asked if he can drafted for the Pats. So, again, if saintnixon is cool with moving to a new team, we'll do the switch-a-roo. If not, we will keep things as they are. [Edit: saintnixon is OK with drafting the Rams. MaPatsFan will draft for Patriots-- bbs]
Below is a list of the teams and who is drafting for them. I've also included some information on the teams, taking note of those with new coaches installing new systems. With the exception of the Raiders and the Redskins, try to draft using your knowledge of how the teams have traditionally drafted. Oh, and regardless of who you are drafting for, reach out to the SB Nation blog covering your team and ask their community for guidance.
