I just wanted to drop in and share an idea that I have been kicking around. I am the commissioner of six leagues, so it's been on my mind more than I'd like to admit.
The solution for the 2021 Draft that ticks all the boxes, I think, is this:
Make it an auction. Use the 2020 pick values from the Draft Trade Value Chart (
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/ ... _value.htm). Combine each owner's point totals for all of their picks, using the different rounds' pick values, and conduct 5 separate drafts (or however many draft rounds you have). ONLY owners with picks in the current round's draft are elligible to bid (this prevents owners that might have a lot of mid-round picks accumulated from combining all their points to make a go at 1.01/a top draft pick).
Here's an example - in one of my leagues, I have 1.03, 1.06, 1.08, 1.10, 2.03, 3.03, 4.03, and 5.03 (based off of last year's standings). So, in the 2021 Rookie Auction Draft, I would have a total of 2200+1600+1400+1300+1150+760+580+470 = 9,460. I would have all 9,460 available to me in the 1st, but I don't necessarily have to use them, as they would carry over to subsequent rounds. Thus, I could theoretically pass on any Top 10 player and essentially have free reign in the 2nd round draft, but I personally think that would be a bad idea.
Nominations would only be done by the owners of the picks, going in order. Any points not spend in the 1st Round would carry over to the 2nd Round draft, etc.
I think there are a couple big advantages of this way:
- It provides a level of fairness that other methods don't
- It could potentially give owners at all levels some interesting flexibility
- If done via e-mail, it could help pass the offseason
Thoughts?
