Someone will build a strong draft (possibly because of lucky positioning in the random order selection) and use that as bait to improves his team even moreso down the line.

My point is you can't just look at the Frenzy Rosters and see who has their draft picks and who doesn't to determine if they've "built" a powerhouse through the draft... it's just not a valid method of seeing what teams got out of the draft unless you trace those picks to every trade they made to find out the end results.
When you look at all of the Frenzy rosters, how many teams do you look at and say "this team is heads and shoulders above the rest of the league. No one (except the other teams you say the same thing about) will be able to compete with them this year"? You don't have to give me the team names, just tell me how many teams have a shot at winning the Frenzy Bowl this year?
