But I think the first round should be randomly selected for ALL teams because the current way gives those not keeping a franchise player a double benefit by picking in the supplemental and then also at the top of the first round. Theoretically the non keeper teams are getting the 8-14 best players who are arguably also franchise players. In effect by not keeping a player you are randomly selecting a lower level franchise player. So they shouldn't get the an automatic shot at 15-22 or whatever it might be as well. So snake or no snake all of round one should be random order. > -----Original Message----- > From: Kiske, Chris [SMTP:Chris.Kiske@arbitron.com] > Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2001 9:59 PM > To: 'Kevin'; Ty Servello; Mike Deluke; Michael Currie; Jody Spottswood; > Jeff Ullrich; Smith, Jeff; Grant Johnson; Dutch Quigley; Dan Wienserski; > Chris Kiske (Home); BJ Naman; Andy Reynolds; Kiske, Chris > Subject: RE: Franchise Players and the Draft > > As the creator of the algebraic mean sequenced draft order that was built > to eliminate the inherent advantage that the #1 & #14 teams had by getting > back to back picks every other round, I think the time for mathematical > preciseness has passed.
