This is a slightly more simplistic (and less holistic) method to your proposal above. However it would keep the total picks in a given year at 48 (at least in the Frenzy).

Not sure which is better but I think something should be done so if there is momentum for Brian's idea than that would work for me.
I think your idea would completely cripple the RFA market. I know for a fact I personally would shy away from biding on RFAs if I knew I was hurting my rookie draft by winning a bid. The end result is going to be significantly lower RFA salaries, and the loss of the free market determining a players worth.
