Yes, excluded players don't count towards the 3 drops & it was completely possible that I was getting this league mixed up with the Cubit league.
Sgt D - I think I answered that question earlier abt excluded players. The disadvantage of picking an excluded player is competing vs. other owners for someone to fill that roster spot in the autodraft. Also, those owners have already been penalized during the live draft for that mistake also. E.g., if I picked Medders when there were 5 other guys with cards that I would have drafted had I known he wouldn't have a card, I've now lost out on those guys if they've been picked.
If we want to we can implement the thing I did in the Cubit draft - do a non-snake supplemental 2-round draft based on order of cap status in order to reward the best cap managers, and count the exluded players as $6M (I said this above but I was getting my drafts mixed up....)
Let me know if you'd prefer to go that route....
