EDIT: maybe I should just wait until we figure out we are having a rookie draft, heh?

I'm for an early draft. I acknowledge the points in my second paragraph would make someone lean towards a later draft, but I would still disagree.
The rookie draft is the unknown. Let's look at a small sample. Say you do the veteran auction first, and as you go through you aren't able to snag two starting RBs that you are satisfied with. You then go to the rookie draft, and unless you have one of the first few picks (depending on where some guys land) you won't get one there early. If you do the rookie draft first, you'll know already if you realistically have any rookies that are going to contribute in the near future and can better plan for the more important part of the roster (at least in the short term), the active roster through the veteran auction.
I can see reasons for doing both, I just prefer the rookie first. It's not a strong preference, and wouldn't fight too hard if a majority disagreed. It's just the way I'd vote.
