For example: if we have 4 keepers per team and every team decides to keep their 4 best players the following year, (12 teams X 4 players = 48 players), the 1st overall pick for next year’s draft, we are looking at the 49th rank player or an actual NFL rookie from 2009 draft class.

2008 Draft Order

This standard format is put in place to help the weaker teams (last place teams) rebuild easier. For example: if we have 4 keepers per team and every team decides to keep their 4 best players the following year, (12 teams X 4 players = 48 players), the 1st overall pick for next year’s draft, we are looking at the 49th rank player or an actual NFL rookie from 2009 draft class.
