Anyone that has done fantasy football seriously knows that auctions are much better than snake drafts. Let's bring that to pro sports.
Maybe a 150-200 player auction (everyone after that becomes UFAs), you allocate an 'auction salary cap' based on how crappy your team is. Finish last, you get the most money, and the most options. But if your option A is to blow all that on one guy, you get no one else in the draft.
Takes far more skill for managers and talent evaluators...
Also, as an aside, makes for far more compelling TV, as your team may potentially be involved in any player nominated up for auction. In the current system, in most cases you can snooze until your team picks.
