Despite a small cut deadline controversy, the Deuce’s auction went off without a hitch on Saturday night. From start to finish about 4 1/2 hours in Pope Dan’s first run.
The Pope himself was scrambling after declaring himself done with the auction until the rookie draft…..except he forgot a kicker. Some quick research by former Commish Berlage got Pimps off the hook in having to draft a kicker in the rookie draft (though Constitution was pretty vague…..as usual).
With the deep class of rookies coming into the league, it was surprising that three draft picks were forfeited by Qonies and Enemy. Rookie draft results below:

why were picks forfeited in the deepest rookie class in memory?!
I committed money at the draft to Antonio Brown, Larry Fitzgerald and SF DEF leaving me $3 for a kicker, another DEF and one of my two 2nd round picks. I chose to spend that last $1 on Martellus Bennett instead of the 16th pick. No apologies and no worries here!
