Week Eight is quickly descending upon us, which means the Waiver Draft will occur and teams in the pool will start making some moves, shoring up some gaps in their roster at the moment. With the scoring gap not as great and the competition for prizes the highest it's been in years, these waiver drafts quickly become important.
It's a slow day at the office, so I'm going to quickly run through a certain set of possibilities for the Waiver Draft, based on the positions set through Tuesday night's action. I think we'll see a surprise first pick to get the draft started as well.

I'm really hoping that the Waiver Draft does go smoothly this time around. We'll get started on Monday morning and I'll try and touch base with most people over the weekend, just to let them know what's happening. Stay tuned to the blog site for constant updates.
I don't expect the draft to go exactly like it is above, because over the next week and a half, there could be all kinds of injuries, suspensions and/or demotions that could possibly happen, which would alter this list. This is just a guide to what I think might happen and you should take it as that.
