It's a great idea, but I honestly think it will give more rewards to a team that is tanking to get great picks, this system would allow them to scout the entire draft just by spending money.
I don't know if it has been suggested before, but what if we actually make a draft pick exchange. I have thought on two options, number one is the option to sell a pick in the Transfer Market where teams could only bid on picks from their own leagues, and option number two is through the forums, where teams could advertise their pick in their league's forum.
Option Number 1: Transfer Market
- User teams would have the option to elect one or two of it's picks to go to the transfer market;
- There would need to have a floor and a ceiling price for each round that the pick belongs; (1st Round > 2nd Round > 3rd Round)
- Only the teams from the same league should be allowed to bid;
Option Number 2: League's Forum
- User teams that are not interested in the season's draft, would have the option to advertise on the league's forum that their pick are on the trade block;
- Interested teams would then have the ability to negotiate a trade for the pick;
- Only pick exchange would be allowed, the difference of the pick value should be made through a set price for the 3 different rounds;
