First off I very much appreciate all the work you and the other admins do. Especially during draft and cuts. I think we all realize it is a lot of work, that you do voluntarily, and I think I speak for the whole league when I say we really appreciate it!
My only opposition is the #1. As it is written now, it takes away your ability to decide which players of value you want to keep on your team.
Let's say there are 10 prospects you have identified that have more internal value then guys already on your roster. I drop a bunch of guys prior to the draft and all 10 targets I identified have been taken before it gets to my pick/s. Now all that is left are guys I don't value internally as much as I do the guys I had to cut.
It is like the 40 man in MLB. Teams are not going to cut guys from the 40 prior to FA, they might have some names in mind if they sign Springer, Bauer, Semien etc, but until that contract is signed, you are not going to pre-cut 5 guys from the 40 in case you sign some FAs..
So again, thanks for all you guys do, much appreciated. I just am not in agreement with point #1.
Thanks!
