Last year, I managed a project where 15 writers built their own teams according to the guidelines of a strict salary cap and list of player values. They presented their picks and then answered questions about personnel talent and fit with scheme. If I had the time I would have presented a dozen more reader teams from those of you who wanted to share what they built.

The 2013 Rookie Scouting Portfolio Writers Project will be under management from Footballguys co-owner Sigmund Bloom, who will be running a 32-team start-up draft with fantasy football style serpentine order that includes a third-round reversal. For the sake of time and this being our first go at this process, we are not allowing trades and the player pool will consist of veterans only.

We’ll see how many rounds we can go with this crew. If we build an entire roster I’ll be shocked, but I think even as little as a few rounds will have fun analysis. Update: There’s strong sentiment to build at least a starting lineup. 

The draft will take place on Twitter and I will update the results every 24-36 hours with commentary from the team owners. Here is a list of the participating writers by their draft order (each name is linked to a page that will eventually have analysis of each of their picks):
