In all honesty, I would seriously doubt that most of the players picked from 1940 would even be drafted in today's game, so let's try to not get too caught up in the whole era thing. Hell, most of the pluggers from the 80s wouldn't even be in good enough shape to get drafted today.
I really wonder about that. Those guys had a spot on a team in a 6 team league. You can't be a crappy player if you do that. Factor in modern coaching/training methods and I don't think it's much of a stretch to think they wouldn't be successful today.
