I had an idea that I'm reluctant to mention, but I guess I will. For a future draft maybe we would only snake the order one time. So the team that picks first in the first round would pick last in all the rest. I'm not sure which draft position would have the advantage, which I think is a good thing.

I mean, if we have 14 drafters and #1 and #14 are vying for the top spot at the end of the draft, one or the other will have a pretty big advantage (depending on whether we end on an even-numbered or odd-numbered round).More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.Comment

I really like that idea, even though I'm sure it hurts me and the other chumps who don't know how to project other teams.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.Comment

The reason we moved to doing drafts only with an odd number of rounds was so that the small "kingmaker" advantage would accrue to those later in the draft order and hopefully offset the small early-drafter advantage that we had seen in the first 15 drafts."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"Comment

It would actually be interesting to see how many points each team could gain by optimizing their last pick in VD12. Hell someone probably already figured this out and might know what they are talking about, while I am just spitballing.---------------------------------------------

Also, there are two different methods for setting draft order when presented with random name/number lists. One way is starting with name list, then attaching number after as slot. Second way is starting with number list as order, then determining which name got that 1st number and so on. Perhaps if one of them results in a same person getting a top 3 pick, the other method can be used.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

This seems like the best way to make sure CJ never gets a good pick, so I'm all for it---------------------------------------------
