I like the idea of shorter benches, drafting the lessor players has never been a favorite past time of mine.

I wonder how the current standings match up to the draft order. Is draft order that crucial?

And we could do reoccurring as most players would return and those that need to be swapped out would just have to contend with that draft slot. For instance if Duke does not come back then the noobie gets the first pick.

I don't regard draft order as crucial at all. Some people feel like they've been screwed when they pick last, but I kind of like it personally and have done well from that position. With 14, I think drafting early may be more problematic, as your #2 pick is theoretically no better than #28 overall. But then again, you get 3 of the top 29...

I doubt there's much correlation between draft position and actual standings, but I've never looked at it.

[Zopperoni]

Well, Sloww and EPW picked #1 and #2 in the draft

[-Jrabbit]

Interesting.

[OzzyKP]

And last place in the D/ST, picked last.

[SlowwHand]

I picked in the middle of D/ST and have failed miserably. I don't think it matters where you pick.

[Zopperoni]

Yea, it's more about the decisions you make in the draft and the moves you make going forward.

And then, there's also luck.

[Ben Kenobi]

Yeah, right now draft order is killing me. It doesn't matter how solid the rest of your draft picks are, if they've got someone like MJD putting up 30+ points.

[EPW]

For what it's worth...

1 SlowwHand - 2nd
