I think the current draft format is stupid...but is also meant more to shift mid-card talent around more than it's meant to move the top talent.
I think there is an easy solution.
Champions + 5-10 wrestlers on each brand are protected (they can be used in trades). This helps eliminate some of the weird pick orders that are used to justify keeping talent on a certain brand.
The rest of the talent pool goes into the draft. You get 10 picks from the current roster, and 5 picks from the NXT talent pool. The rest of the undrafted wrestlers are free agents.
