I actually really like the idea of pushing the draft till 19.

Allow 18 year olds to be picked in the first round then do overagers for another round or two? Don't know how many are worth picking.

Then the next year they can pick the rest. So one draft where there may not be any elite guys in the first round.

I think it's worth it in the long run.
