Excellent point... forget the void part and let's just vote on the specs. I would like to see the draft conducted in a period of three months... from June through August.
Hmm...I dunno about that, Colb. I plan on signing the players I can't fit on my EDR just to my 40 man roster. I would rather not void out picks that I have earned, per se. They are just as easy to release if I decide I don't want them (to save cap, etc.), rather than not being able to draft them at all.
3 months sounds like a good goal to reach.
We could alternatively say after the allotted time expires, the next team is on the clock, but the team that was skipped is free to jump in and make their pick whenever (ala NFL draft). Maybe after 3-5 picks go by without the owner jumping in, then we select the next highest available player on the board that the team can afford (if the later decide they don't want to pay the salary, the player is released to FA).We can also strongly encourage teams to send their proxy picks into the commish when their slot is coming up, which would really speed things up.
I was wondering whether we would be allowed to spread the bonuses on draft picks in the same manner as many teams have chosen to do in FA. It doesn't seem right to be able to do one w/o the other.
Personally I think we should hold the draft after the signing deadline in August. Making only players that have signed with teams available. I think down the road having players that opted for college, indy ball already on teams, may cause problems.
