If a side with picks 10-24 bids for Ayce Cordy, we would have to use pick 25. It's the next selection you have, after a bid has been tabled that you have to use.
I think it's much fairer.
And I think it's more open to manipulation than the old system. Say for example during trade week that club A agrees to put in a dummy or ambit claim so that club B can force our hand and take Cordy with a draft choice we didnt want to use therefore leaving the player we were going to pick to fall into club B's lap. I thought about it for about thirty seconds before I came up with that sceanrio. I'm sure a list development manager with more time on his hands is going to punch holes through this stupid bloody idea.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
