[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1137186, member: 74121"] I agree with you on the NBA, but that is because in a 5 man game, drafting a 'star' can transform your team beyond all recognition. So it becomes sensible for an organisation to not try too hard to win sometimes in order to 're-build'. I don't think the negative impact of the draft is so strong in the NFL because it is harder for one man (even a QB) to completely transform a team. Plus, I suspect it is easier to evaluate a college basketball player and how they will perform in the NBA than it is with the NFL (e.g. Tom Brady overlooked in the draft but loads of QBs picked in the first round who fail dramatically). Likely a moot point as I do not think the URC are suggesting an actual draft. [/QUOTE]
