I picked the 17th because some of us, in the MFN 7/NFL/Pay Dirt Leagues, will have 3 drafts going at the same time for a few days. The last day, for those 3 teams would be MFN 7 on the 15th. By drafting on the 17th, it will allow these owners to catch their breaths and begin, or continue, prepping for the long inaugural draft and give the league more time to fill up.
