It was a very interesting KDS list we received from our 15 league champs from 2008 and we'll analyze them for your enjoyment shortly. Here's a look at all 15 KDS preferences, not in any particular order:



1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15

6,7,8,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,4,3,2,1,5

8,9,10,4,1,2,3,5,6,7,11,12,13,14,15

2,1,7,9,8,10,6,5,4,3,11,12,13,14,15

9,10,11,12,4,3,2,1,6,5,15,14,13,8,7

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,15,14,13,12,11,10

7,6,5,8,9,4,10,11,3,13,12,2,1,14,15

5,4,3,2,1,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,8,7,6

9,8,7,13,14,15,1,2,3,4,5,6,10,11,12

1,2,3,4,12,13,14,15,5,11,6,10,7,9,8

3,4,2,1,5,15,14,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13

5,4,3,2,1,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15



Here's some of the facts from this list:



** SIX owners got their No.1 preference, an incredibly high number, but indicative of so many different listings this year.



** Nine owners had a Top 4 choice. After that, owners got their 6th, 7th, 9th, 10th, 10th and 14th preferences.



** The average KDS preference was 4.7, which means on average owners got their fourth or fifth preference, a great average for 15 teams.



** Four owners went straight 1-14. Of the other 11 owners who set their KDS preferences, only two had No. 1 listed as their top preference. No. 1 wasn't even a Top 5 preference for four owners. Nobody had a top preference higher than 9 and the back-end still wasn't a favorite of most owners in this draft.



Good luck all and thanks again.

Greg - can MDC support a viewing gallery...even better with chat capabilities MDC does not have that capability, but I agree it would be fun if they did. I'll post these results the next day for the first few rounds and then we'll obviously have this in our magazine shortly after that. But yes, this should be fun and the KDS preferences are already interesting.

Greg - can MDC support a viewing gallery...even better with chat capabilities Well, I spoke out of turn. I believe that MDC.com is going to try to accommodate a viewing gallery and Geoff Stein will make it official on these boards soon. So set aside Tuesday for your viewing pleasure and enjoy the draft.

This draft has been created and e-mail invites have been sent.



Viewers can watch on Tuesday by logging in with the username: nfbcviewer and the password: nfbcpass.
