1. We are starting a league and everyone is on relatively equal footing. Having a rookie draft this year gives everyone the same chance to start to build for the future with guys that should not cost too much. Unless of course you pick a star and they qualify for bonuses!
2. A rookie draft is fun!!! No matter where you have your first pick or your last pick, rookie drafts are one of the best parts of FF in my mind.
3. No matter where your picks fall we are starting from scratch so everyone should be able to get valuable players. Whether they are active this year or down the line everyone should be able to come up with a couple of high profile players and some other prospects as well. In fact, since it seems like the only players we will not be drafting are OL we could all gets guys that were first day picks without too much trouble.
4. While luck plays a part in FF it is not limited to how the draft order shakes out. No matter where you pick you can hit or miss with a player. I traded up for Charles Rogers and passed on McGahee and we all know how that turned out. However, at the time (and until the second collarbone break) I was happy with the choice I made.

umm whatever, I'm not gonna spew drivel, you all know I'm not in favor...
FYI I do not consider a random assignment of picks for a rookie draft in any way fair, but I'll move on
though, maybe I'll get some nice rooks and kick your butts even worse, if we wait till next year to draft rooks you all know I'll be drafting LATE, so I'll use this as a tool to further dominate if that's the way it's going to be! ;)
