What determines how many players at each position is in the draft? Just random?

Our next draft has 9 QBs (which only one is needed at a time) versus 5 OLs (which five are required). Seems like that is terribly skewed?

Shouldn't there be roughly proportional positions...even if its a little random. 96 * 1 / (11 + 11 + 6) = ~3.4 QBs and 96 * 5 / (11 + 11 + 6) = ~17.1 OLs?? I don't know...maybe more WRs, DBs to accommodate formations loaded with those positions (Dime, Shotgun 4WRs etc.).

It was via PM...

So here we go again, public now

We just took the average players per position group on the field, and maintended this ratio in the draft. Then we made some small tweaks, since it resulted in too many STers as example, and too many OLers...This creates a basic array of positions (something like QB,QB,RB,RB,OL,OL,OL,WR...), and we pick from this array one position per created player. This will be more or less the ratio again, but of course there might be small movements on it.

17 WR in Fire 1.1 seems a little bit high and 11 QB
