RE: Franchise Players and the Draft

Dutch's suggestion would alleviate all of Kevin's points below. Whether we
snake after that is another issue - the top three rounds are more important
than the back to back pick issue.

< < < 1-14, 14-1 for the whole draft? We will still have a supplemental

< < < for those that do not keep franchise players. Then the non-franchise
< < < teams will pick in opposite order of the supplemental round for round

< < < the teams that kept franchise players will be randomly selected to
< pick
< at
< < < the end of the first round. After the first round, the draft will
< snake
< < < back the other way with the last pick in the first round getting the

< < < pick in the second round and the draft will continue in this snake
