BTW, Jake I understand what you mean about luck determining the order but I think two things will mitigate that somewhat. One, if you get to pick you spot (yes the order of choice is based on luck) then you have some control over the process. Two, even in cases where we have "rewarded" the worst teams it is not like they have always come away with the best players.
Just my thoughts since I think once the draft starts there are no sure things that are likely to unfairly inhibit teams for years down the line (at least in my mind).

I'll also add that after three years of rookie drafts in the Frenzy, really, to me it looks like only one team has any significant amount of the core of their team was acquired through the draft (I'd say the Swords with McGahee, K. Jones, and Boldin). Sure some other teams have key players they have gotten through the draft, but at this point, no one has created an unchallangable team through the draft. The draft adds a tremendous amount of fun to April and May. If we were playing for a thousand dollar entry fee, winner take all, then I might be a little hesitant to let lady luck determine who gets the best slot in the draft. But this league is for fun, so lets have some fun with it.
