Anyone interested in playing NFL draft "stock market" game?

No one on Saints Talk seems interested, partly because no one felt like spending ~3 minutes reading the post. So here's the quick explanation:
Get $12m salary cap. Buy as many/few rookies as you can fit given their cost, which is based on a plethora of mock drafts. Check/print out "Draft Order" to see how much they are worth if they are drafted at a given position and compare to cost. Example: Clowney costs $3.9m. The #1 pick is worth $4.2m, so you make $300k profit if he goes #1. The #6 pick is worth $3m, so you lose $900k if he goes 6th.
Only players drafted in the top 3 rounds are worth anything, so if you buy a player that you think will be drafted highly but is taken in the 4th, you lose everything you spent on him. Prices are updated daily so you can sell a player and use profit on different ones if you want. Go to the site and use code 885B8FC7 to enter league (15 player limit per league). The "market" is closed on draft Thursday and the team with the most valuable roster at the end of round 3 wins.
Here's the website:

If you want a more detailed explanation (the website well set up, but the "tutorial" is terrible):

Joined but Im still kinda just winging it. Stocks have never really been a strong suit of mine, to say the least 
Eta: I think u got it actually I just couldn't find the draft order on mobile.

I don't know shite about stocks either. Browsing through the list, a handful of guys stood out as good values, but it took me a while to fill it all out. Kind of skiddish on buying guys that I like but that still have a chance not being drafted by the end of round 3. You can make good money buying those fring guys in bulk, but individually, the risk of losing that $420-500k is more significant than gaining ~$200k if they are drafted in the late second.

when can we start buying guys?
Posted on 4/10/14 at 10:49 pm to fightingtigers98
You can buy/sell them now. The league's feed says you've already bought/sold some. Under the "My Fund" section, you can see how much you've spent, the players you own, and cap space available. I'm pretty sure that the "League Standings" page is updated in the morning once they re-adjust player values.

This is a pretty neat thing.
