The draft gurus for each team should pick the player that will be the best asset to the team.  If, for example, the Indianapolis Colts had the first pick in this year's recent draft, they would have been foolish to pick up Vince Young or Matt Leinart, since they already have their starting QB in Peyton Manning.  The Houston Texans evaluated what they were lacking and decided that a big playmaker on Defense would help them out the most.  That is why they went with Mario Williams.  He may not be a better player than Leinart, Young, or Reggie Bush, but he was what was needed.  Clearly, you don't just draft the best players out there, but specifically which ones will fill the needs in your team's Depth Chart.\n\nFantasy drafts are the same way.  There may be some great QBs or RBs still on the boards, but you need to fill all of your positions so that you can have a starting lineup.\n\nYour comment about prestige and bonus money is valid, but the team owners and GMs should look to what is good for the team as a whole, not for the benefit for one up and coming prospect.

Remember, that the decision to even become available to be drafted is up to the player. Therefore, as long as he abides by the 3-year rule agreed upon by the NCAA and the NFL, a college player has the ability to NOT declare himself eligble to be drafted.\n\nThis idea would definitely turn the football community upside down. This would allow a player to skip the draft and be signed by a team for his liking. However, the competition of draft day increases the amount of money paid. Walk-on players and practice players get paid much less than the household name stars of today.\n\nTo sum it up, there is no rule that says "If you're a top collegiate athlete, than you must go into the NFL Draft." The NFL cannot prevent a player from going into business out of college, as well as, they cannot prevent him from trying to walk on to a football team.\n\nHope this helps!

You can through nfl.com, but it looks like you will have to pay for it.

None. There is a minimum age for the NFL. I don't know exactly what it is, but I believe it is in the low 20's.

yeah bro it's not to late to join a  Mid-Season Fantasy baseball leauge.  i actually just joined one on yahoo. it's my first time ever doing fantasy anything but i joined a leauge set up a live draft and i should start playing June 16. \n\nSo if you want to join a Mid-Season Fanasy Baseball leauge make sure you join before the 15th. So you can be ready to play by the 16th. If you can't make it to your draft yahoo will pick for you or the smart thing to do is create a list and rank the players you would pick first and if you can't make the draft then yahoo will pick your players based on your list of ranked players.\n\nI also joined a NFL league through yahoo. and that one is cool because you still have time to create a league of your own if you want and have some of your friend join your league. You can pick what day your Draft will be anywhere from now thru the end of August. You can also join an existing NFL fantasy league on yahoo if you don't wish to start your own league.

It might be hard to find ex-nfl or current nfl players. I would suggest you to go to 24 hours fitness and you can hire a trainer there. I remember my friend, ex-nfl running back, worked out at 24 hours fitness and he had a trainer there. When you go there, keep working out. Second, focus on where you play as your position like running back or wide receiver. Otherwise, you can try out for Arena Football League2. Other league scout will watch how you play before offer you a tryout. Good luck.

No, you don't automatically get in, but they should give you an idea when recruiting about whether you are a shoe-in to get into the school, or whether there are some other things you need to work on like grades or test scores to ensure you get into the school.  And be careful about being recruited right now, its not legal.  If you want to play in the NCAA, you need to read up on the rules and regulations for recruiting so you don't accidentally break any rules and ruin your eligibility.

Your question is not very specfic and therefore hard to answer.  And I looked. I think the best thing to do is go to the NFL site, click on the team nearest you, and look for player-led camps on the sites.  For instance, I live in Seattle and Hasselbeck has feelers out for his QB camps already.\nHope that helps.

You are big enough to play on even a not crappy HS football team. \n\nIf you are athletic, fast, and strong there is no reason why you could not play WR, CB or Safety. It all really depends on your skill level and work ethic.\n\nI would suggest working out like a madman, joining the teams off-season workout program if at all possible, and even attending a football summer camp if you could. \n\nGood luck!!!\n\nEdited to add that Barry Sanders was 5'8" and Walter Payton was 5'10"\n\nhttp://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/PaytWa00.htm\nhttp://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/SandBa00.htm

I've played yahoo fantasy football for a few years now and they usually open it up middle July at the earliest to the beginning of August. The drafts can be held up to the first regular game is played usually, there can be some exception to that though. Don't worry about missing it, they post it on their home page as soon as it opens. And the NFL training camps are not open yet, hell the draft picks haven't even begun signing yet. All they are having now is mini camps and they can only have a couple of them before the actually training camps open later in the summer.

I would just do the draft in person or in an online chat room if you can get everyone in your league together.  All of the free leagues are far too rigid to be any good.  Plus this way is flexible for last moment trades invovling draft picks.
