It was called to our attention yesterday that the draft order was incorrect for three teams (NYJ, LAC, and DET). We have since corrected the error for both the Rookie and UFA Draft picks. NYJ, who was previously slated to pick #21, will pick #23. LAC, which was previously slated to pick #22, will pick #21, and DET, who was previously slated to pick #23, will pick #22. Any further errors have not been found as of yet, but if they are, please notify a League Manager IMMEDIATELY!
The issue of why this happened is not quite clear, but as I publish the reverse draft order, I will take the blame. It appears the reasoning for my putting the Jets ahead of LAC and DET was that I was factoring in division titles, which do not count for the purposes of reverse draft order. While this is unfortunate, and I do offer my apologies, this is why we post that these reverse draft orders are unofficial, as we require help sometimes, and are human and can get it wrong. Ultimately, that was the case here. So this both serves as a notification and warning to other teams, PLEASE pay attention to this/your roster and police it for us/tell us when you see something wrong, so that when we find out there is something wrong and correct it, it doesn't come by surprise.
