I think there are bigger practical difficulties doing it in draft than out.
In draft you need both the drafter and the person with the rights on instantly, otherwise you can get the circumstance where the next person picks.

You could just treat the decision or match the offer or not as another pick.

Then what happens to the next pick? Does the person who chooses to match jump to that spot and then the guy who just picks picks again? What happens if he picks another RFA? Again? The guy after him is all of a sudden three draft slots lower which can change draft strategy pretty severely.
I would like to think a strength people want to have is one where they actually 'read' the draft as well. This makes it pretty difficult to do.

It's just the father-son rule. If the rights owner decides to match, the player must be their next pick in the draft.
By "treat it as another pick" I meant give the rights owner a finite time to respond and if they don't you take it as a no.

That's even worse...
It means a player that a person has chosen not to keep (Not allowed to keep) is attainable for potentially a huge chunk of lesser value still. 30 picks is huge in a 16 team keeper league.
The system has to involve them being decided upon as keepers pre-draft, not during.

But for now, we probably don't have the time to go through the process of formulating a compromise that everyone is happen with and approve it, so we'll just keep the 12th round rule.
We'll need to get this sorted out before next years draft, as the current system is flawed. But the new rule that is adopted next year will be applied retroactively to this years FA keepers, so fair warning.
Feel free to come up with something that pleases all. It would be much appreciated.

My suggestion of 2013 output sans 3 rounds, laid out in standard draft outlay.
If they were a high scorer, they would be drafted relatively high, three extra rounds is a pretty sweet deal still.
If a middle of the road scorer, they would fall to the middle rounds where the value wouldn't be there to keep them without the upside.
Late round value, you get to keep the player who scored nothing for nothing and are praying for upside.

I like it, and it's simple enough to work, but the trouble is having league members actually do the homework on this rather than just delegate it to me.

So just waiting on keepers from arkie and two blue tiger. Once all keepers are in I'll send out a PM giving everyone a 1 or 2 day window to alter their keepers if need be and then the draft will start.

Just get the overall scorers and assign it 1-16 per round.
It's a bit flawed in regards to the fact that QBs would naturally end up higher due to position, but it's better than nothing.
I'm not available at the moment but will give it a bit of finessing when I get home.
Thanks for the spot in the league - should be fun.
Keepers are :
Julius Thomas (rnd 14)
Russell Wilson (rnd 8)
Vernon Davis (rnd 7)

There hasn't been a ruling yet though right? It's not like I'm giving up a really high pick to keep him on my list anyway.

Smart move to keep him over the year I spose for a low pick.

Righto. So all keepers have been posted. I'm sending a league wide PM to tell everyone that we'll have one day to alter keepers and then the draft will start on Friday.

Y no 2 day

I'm pretty knackered, but I should be available friday day to confirm who would fall where if they were kept as free agents.
Or are we rolling with the 12th rounder this year?

Yep. As above, we'll stay with the current (crappy) system for this year, but next year we'll get on top of it and implement something new. The status of this years FAs will be altered retroactively when a new rule is adopted, but FAs from all other years (i.e. pre-2013) will remain within the old system.
