Which Pony will you ride?

The Pony Draft

Do not underestimate the power of the Pony

By Mel Kiper, Jr.

FOXBORO - Just like a smooth tasting Rolling Rock Beer, the BDFL's Rolling Rock Pony Draft can be very satisfying, especially when the fall rolls around. Just ask the Jugtown Juggernauts what Adrian Peterson meant to their team last fall. The Pony, as it is referred to by the draft insiders, is where a BDFL team can get better before the Genuine Draft ever takes place, but does take a little work and some keen insight. The key is in projecting a players value in the league for next season. Who will be this year's difference makers? What's Ryan's upside? Will McFadden go to the right system for him to flourish? Who will be the big surprises? These questions and others will take their first steps to being answered when the BDFL rolls out the red carpet the week of April 21st. So Pony Up! Get ready for another fun filled adventure known as the BDFL's Rolling Rock Pony Draft!

 

The BDFL News

New rules for the 2008 Rolling Rock Pony Draft

FOXBORO - The 2008 Rolling Rock Pony Draft will start with each team submitting their top five picks in order. From this list the Commissioner, Iron Hand, will jump start the draft with at least five picks and hopefully more. If you do not submit your "Top 5" list by the deadline TBA, then you will be skipped from the entire draft and you can add a Pony once the draft is complete. If you submit your "Top 5" list and all five of your players are picked by your time in the draft you will be emailed and asked to select a player in a timely fashion that has not been selected. More information available on a need be basis.
