Proposal: No supplemental draft. Every year, the best cards are already gone in the draft because of having 10 prospects and 3 of the best new cards taken by 24 teams (thats 72 cards) before the draft even starts. So pretty much every young talent who comes into the league is already on a prospect roster and every one year wonder card that is put out by a surprise player is already on a roster due to the supplemental draft. If we really want the worse teams in the league to get better we have to make more cards available in the draft.
Don't really have a strong opinion on this but I was wondering why eliminating the supplemental draft would benefit the weaker teams. After season 1 the weaker teams would be established and they would be the ones drafting the best of the one year wonder cards wouldn't they? Plus the competition isn't as high for the cards during supplemental. Last year 3 managers skipped rd 1, 6 skipped rd 2 and 16 skipped rd 3. The worst 4 teams were the only ones that drafted all 3 rounds.
I'm all for helping the weaker teams get more competitive so if most of the managers with weaker teams agree with Eddie on this I have no problem voting to get rid of the supplemental.
