My idea was to prevent people from stockpiling 4th round picks just so they can take a bunch of RBs in the hopes that one of them turn out to be something. If you had, say, 5 4th round picks (which isn't all that far fetched given all of our trading, and comp picks) and drafted 5 RBs, you'd have all summer to see which if any had a chances, and then stash the other 3 on your PS for the year and see how they turned out. If you hit one, you get a free player. If not, wash, rinse and repeat next year. I did not want to encourage this kind of activity as much as to reward good, late round picks by allowing you to assign a 4th rounder with a 5 year contract, not worry about it affecting the year cap of the TS, and sit and wait on him to develop, and not restock the PS every year with new players trying to hit that home run.

That was my thinking. Whether or not others agree, I know not.
