Good share. The basic idea is pretty simple, worst teams pick first, best teams pick last, which helps balance the league over time.

What makes it interesting is all the strategy around trades, teams moving up or down depending on needs, and how much value they place on certain positions. It’s not just picking talent, it’s managing long term roster building.

Player profile - rookie.
Now this guy i feel is a great running back in the making..great hand/eye coordination, speed and balance. I will be profiling different prospects over the coming weeks as well as a few favourites.
