<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">So as a reminder, you can keep 2 players from your 2014 final roster and players can be kept a maximum of 3 seasons in a row before they must be placed in the draft. Below are the lists of players that either cannot be kept, can be kept for the last time this season, or can be kept this season and next. Anybody on your final roster from last season and not on these lists is eligible to be kept through 2017.
<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">
<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Also, remember that when you choose your keepers, they must be kept one draft spot higher than the previous season (i.e., a 2014 5th round pick would be kept as a 2015 4th round pick), regardless of whether or not you drafted the player (so a 2014 fourth round pick that was released and then claimed off of waivers would still have to be kept as a 3rd round pick). The only exception to this is that a 2014 1st round pick is kept as a 2015 1st round pick as well.
<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">
<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">2014 undrafted players are kept as 7th round picks. If you don't have a particular draft pick or you want to keep 2 players in the same round, then you have to use an earlier pick to keep the player (i.e., if you want to keep 2 players who would were 2014 5th round picks, then you would need to use a 3rd and a 4th round pick to keep them). This means that you can't keep both your 2014 1st & 2nd round picks unless you happen to have 2 2015 1st round picks.

This is not some silly theory that's unsupported and deserves being mocked by photos of Xena.
