But it isn't like that. Which was my point.
Ahhhh but it is like that.
In an alternate universe in which overagers who were not picked in their draft eligible years were again draft eligible in later years. Sure.
Nope, in this universe where they didn't get drafted and then had huge seasons they're like 3 extra draft picks. Image

Holy crap.

Talk about arguing for the sake of arguing.

The entire point is to increase and improve your prospect pool. There are 3 ways to do this. Drafting, signing undrafted people, or trading for other teams prospects. If you only look at drafting, then a team is limited to 7 each year, which they can or can not trade. The chirping about only having the amounted allotment of draft picks is a bad thing on a rebuilding team is simply a ploy for the uneducated armchair GM's with an agenda to bitch about the GM.

Benning has added more prospects than the allotted 7 per year as he uses all 3 methods to do it.

But by all means, continue to bitch and pick apart posts for your amusement.

Lol.

No. It usually degenerates into random name calling, complete fantasy, and Blob vs the world in pick-apart-posts troll fights.
