Re: the draft
I'm not sure if the choir is fully assembled yet, but you're preaching to them. There's no reason that there shouldn't be multiple 22-23 year old "college seniors" who are good enough to at least be primary backups for the league in every single draft.
I love that idea.
I posted my long winded version because I would love to get a big big discussion going and see if there is a consensus or at least a solid direction that most agree with that we could present to the powers that be that might be able to make a change that have a huge impact on the fun of the game, and bringing in, and keeping new users :-)
