Not sure what KK is talking about with the cutdown and trading picks. This is the way we've always done it. You're still allowed to trade picks during the draft, the trade just has to be 1:1 in terms of minor league assets, so that nothing gets "cut" during the draft.
This way, everybody in the universe is either draft eligible or owned during the entire draft. Also, it removes some confusion and processing for the Darrells and friends, since there is less retarded wheeling and dealing.
Furthermore, there is no such thing as unnecessary anal.
