i would say potential costs > than skills. draft list 1st thing you should look at - potential.

May I offer a dissenting opinion?

Oakland is a division V squad, and a losing one at that. A single super-duper high potential individual will not really be worth much to him for 2 or three seasons -- and that to really develop this player's potential, we would be talking single player training -- in other words, something unnecessary to succeed in div. v and into div. iv.

someone could point out that a high potential draftee is worth a lot of money on the TL -- and that oakland could take that money and buy some more appropriate, useful players for his current circumstances.

to be losing in div. v means oakland needs players, plural. a good draft -- two decent players, sold, say, for a million dollars, could bring in three decent veterans, or two trainable players with much lower potential (say "starter" or "6th man").

oakland is right to be excited, though. a good draft could be the break his team needs.

Since the day I've bought the team...I've been tanking my season (intentionally trying to lose every game I could) in order to assure a good draft spot. I realize now this may not have been the best idea since I've put all my eggs in one basket, and the lack of attendance is starting to hurt. I have 3 good prospects (2 pretty good perennial allstars and an allstar) that I've stashed away and have been training but I hardly ever play more than 1 of them in a game.

I'm looking at the third pick in the draft right now, and there may be a little leeway late in the season for me to try and win a game to help get some attendance money.

That being said, if I could land an MVP or higher in this draft, I will literally jump with joy
