One more thing: To top all this off, as it turns out, BOTH of the recent Tuberski BAPAYs were incorrect. The correct current defensive BAPAY is Ray Lewis (153.5 fantasy points in 2010). The Tulloch pick was by me; the Terrell Thomas pick was by Ben K.
I know how I screwed up with Tulloch: He was the highest rated player defender available in the FFZ league I'm currently running, and I must have had the wrong browser window open when I did the search (Lewis is gone in that draft). Mea culpa.
Regarding T. Thomas: I know he's the top DB left, but that's immaterial. All defensive positions are considered together unless the team has filled one or more of them.
The BAPAY victim will be assigned the top available player at Yahoo at a position of need, using the "Actual" filter for offense and the "Fantasy Points" filter for defense. Position of need will be decided according to the following priority list. Try to pay attention to Bye week issues, especially for QB and TE. However, this is not a strict requirement.
PRIORITY LIST BY POSITION
1. Offensive starter, skill position (QB, RB, WR, TE) -- includes 5 total RB/WR
2. Defensive starter, any position: 2-DBs, 2-LBs, 1-DL
3. Backup skill position, in this order: RB3 - WR3 - RB4 - WR4
4. QB2 (Bye alert)
5. TE2 (Bye alert)
6. RB5/WR5
7. QB3
8. DEF6
9) Kicker
I also note this recent post from Berz:
...projected for offense and last year's fantasy pts for defenders - thats standard bapay
This is WRONG!! On offense, (1) determine the position, then (2) list all available, then (3) select the ACTUAL column to show the top player at that position. WE DO NOT USE PROJECTED.
The reason for the rules being (what I thought was) precise is to eliminate the need for judgment calls. I'm sure Ben felt he was doing Tuber a favor by giving him the top DB, but that's not the procedure in play.
If you have doubts about assigning a BAPAY, please don't post it.
Kthx I'm off to FFZ. I'm on the clock over there.

Thanks for the correction.
I confirm I have Sparrows list.

6. RB5/WR5

9) Kicker
Thus, for our 22-round draft, an all-BAPAY team would be assigned, in order, as follows:
Round/Position
1-7) Offensive skill positions (2-ea RB and WR, 1-each QB, W/R and TE), by Actual
8-12) DL1, LB1/2, DB1/2, by Fantasy Points (Really, JR? DL first? WTF?)
13-15) WR - RB until team has 4 of each
16) QB2
17) TE2
18-19) RB5/WR5
20) QB3
21) DEF6 (any position)
22) Kicker
This procedure (used successfully last year) makes the BAPAY process reasonably fair for the victim yet easy to administer for any league member.

As worded, players get BAPAYed a DL first. That's bad.

There you go JR. Now it actually does what you want it to do.

It's pretty damned clear to me.
The next section is an EXAMPLE OF A THEORETICAL DRAFT of an all-bapay team. Which again, is pretty damned clear. This is either (a) what confused you, or (b) the excuse you're using for your own screw-up.
I also note that, even in your bizarre world of always trying to subvert any rules you encounter, your BAPAY OF A DB WOULD STILL BE WRONG. Which can only mean that you did it without reading the rule.
Please do not BAPAY anyone for the remainder of this draft.
As for rewriting the rules: That would be a separate discussion, in a separate thread.
