I don't get the suggestion.

Add more players, only to pick of more?
To get better players in the draft?
If the rest goes to the transfer market, why not pick 5 rounds and let then the managers decide, which to sell?

Live-Draft is always a disadvantage for some time zone.
24h between rounds sounds better and seems manageable.

- Live Draft won´t work with the Timezones (look at the Freeagentmarket ...)
- 24 h rounds (how should that work?? if the guy in front of me tooks the guy i have on the first place of my list would he take the second guy? so it stays the same as it is right now)
+ on players which are needed

Round 1:
You're in desperate need of a punter, you could place all punters on the top your list. After the 1st round, if you're really lucky, you get one.
Round 2, 24 h later:
Now it's a 24h break before the next round. You're satisifed with the punter you got, and atm you think 1 great punter is enough for your team. But you're in desperate need of a kicker as well. All punter's to the bottom of the list. But you need a kicker as well! All kicker's to the top of your list.
Round 3, 24 h later:
Yes! You got your kicker as well. Your team looks perfect, but maybe you could some other type of player as well. Kickers to the bottom as well. Now what to choose?

Hm so it´s just the same as the Transfermarket, you are lucky to have the time to be on the days of the draft or your busted.
Sure you got 24 h between the rounds but there are some people not like you and me witch got the time to or the posibility to log in every 24 hours, those guys are on the bad end at the transfermarket and if you change it like that on the bad end at the draft too.
I am not sure if it isn´t better to give your Draftorder some kind of advice just like i need a punter if i got one pick kicker and in the third round pick what the hell is there anymore something like a Preferlist

Basically this system would only allow to readjust the sorted list.

Is a manager not online, he gets what he would have got if this would be done like today. Is he online, he might be able to get a little better players.

I still like my suggested draft sorting for team needs and get-the-best-value-for-a-pick, but it seems the managers are OK with the current system.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I think each round should be a different day too.

I understand the comment that if you're on holiday (or have a life), you can't benefit from it...but then you'd use the exisiting system no gain, no loss.

The NFL today uses 1 day 1 round for the first 2 rounds, why can't we? I think it'll make the game more dynamic.

I love the thought of only 3 rounds though. Other games do a full 7 round and all at once (like this game), and the draft boards get way out of control.

That's my opinion...thanks.

I support that. I have three QBs at the top of my board and I hope I'll only get one because I have lots of needs at other positions as well.
