Is there a way to see the upcoming rookie draft slots?

Season is going quick and I wanted to start trying to get my ducks in a row. I know I have 7 players going to free agents, and trying to see how many rookies I might have coming in to gauge if I'll need to cut anyone, or try to start thinking of trade scenarios.

Was going to try to figure it out from trade announcements if needed, but thought maybe there was an easy way already out there.

Hitting their stride.

I've made some defensive adjustments that certainly hit this week. "Didn't miss a thing" is overstating it; Dez Bryant dropped 3 of his 8 targets and dropped another that wasn't counted due to penalty. He also dropped a TD that turned into a FG. He's been as bad as they get this year; drops and false starts virtually every week. Oh well, I guess I'd better get used to it because I'm clearly not getting Harvin next season either. ****.

I got tired of watching Melvin Ingram do nothing so I moved Malcom Smith into the Sam and slid Burnett back over to the Will - the difference was massive. Smith picked off Kaepernick and sacked him for a safety later on. If he's the real deal, that could be a massive change.

And Vance Walker continues to be among the best FA acquisitions of the offseason with his 3rd sack/fumble leading to a short field and the first TD of the game.

The defense is going to have to step up for me to succeed. This team is much less dangerous than it was with the loss of Harvin.

The draft order will be based on record, like the NFL, and will consist of seven rounds. If you made any trades involving draft picks, those will be added or subtracted, of course.

I'm not sure that we've got an easy-to-post summary of trades right now, and of course we don't have a draft order yet since I have not yet won the Sandbox Bowl.

Cool, thanks. I was going to just go look at the trade announcements, but those look to be locked out at this point. I think I remember anyhow, but wanted to check.

The best way to see your current draft slots us to start the process of entering a trade in which you offer a future pick. It will show a list of your current 2013 draft picks. Of course you can't see that right now because I have trades turned off. As soon as the season is over I'll turn them back on.

In a preview of the game of the week, two 6-4 teams that are battling for playoff spots collide when Duluth takes on Independence. A key to the game will be whether Duluth's nimble offensive line can hold off Independence's fierce pass rush and dominating d-line.

Is that a euphemism for "undersized"?

All my losses were in games where:

a) the league-wide pass rush intensity was about 1/3 of normal
OR
b) Brian Hartline was my only healthy WR

I'm undefeated in the other games. Now that everyone is healthy, the Vision is poised to defend it's Solar conference championship, beginning with this interconfernce game against Duh Luth.

I'm rooting for Duluth to win and stay in 2nd place. There's no way I want to face Anchorage in the playoffs.

I really with I could do-over a lot of these games for Topeka. I just realized last night that I was running an offensive gameplan where for close to 25% of the snaps on any longer yardage downs I was running the short yardage formations. I don't know how I didn't come to this realization earlier, but hopefully changing that will help a lot on offense.

And, even with those settings, here is what happened to the first place team in our (albeit crappy) division last game.

Cedar Rapids Angry Clam Hammers 15
Topeka Tyrannicide 27

Cedar Rapids Topeka
First Downs 6 24
Total Yards 159 368
Passing Yards 111 262
Comp/Att 10/20 26/36
Passing TDs 1 2
Passer Rating 83.5 111.1
QB Pressure % 23.8 28.6
QB Sacked 1 (6) 5 (35)
Rushing Yards 48 106
Rushing Att 19 28
YPC 2.53 3.78
Rushing TDs 0 2
Turnovers 0 2
Interceptions 0 0
Fumbles(lost) 0 (0) 3 (2)
Penalties 6 (53) 0 (0)
Time of Possession 22:44 37:16

Take out those two turnovers and 5 freakin sacks, and it really would have been ugly.

You certainly picked the right week. Matt Flynn under center and no Gronk. My game plan of "run, run, run again and when that doesn't work run some more" wasn't very effective last week. So my game plan is a complete freaking mess.

9-1 this will be tough.
