May I suggest......



Use two steps to the initial draft process: bidding for draft position at player position and ranking players in order of draft preference.

Each team will draft 70 players from a pool of over a thousand. In order to make this process manageable, each of the first 50 rounds of the draft is limited to a specific position, or pairs of positions in later rounds. These 50 rounds are divided into 5 "superrounds" of 10 rounds each. In order to determine the draft order for each round, an auction is held for each superround. Within each superround you have 1000 points to bid for draft position at each round. Each superround has a slightly different mix of positions.

You start with 100 points assigned to each round. If you were to bid, say 400 points on Quarterback, you would have to remove points on one or more other positions, making it more likely that you will draft later at those positions. Ties are broken randomly.

If you attempt to save your bids with more or less than 1000 points in each row, the system will evenly (as much as possible) add or remove points to each column until it evens out at 1000.

Three hours before the draft, your bids will lock, and returning to the draft page will reveal which draft slot you won in each round. You may continue to order players at each position until the draft runs.

Clicking on the position abbreviation in the bidding grid will take you to a page displaying all of the players available at that position. Most of these are players who actually play that position, although a few may be players at other positions that qualify for the position being ranked. The two special teams positions on the draft grid, Kick Returner (KR) and Holder (H) may be a variety of positions as there is no native positions for these roles. Kick Returners are most often wide receivers, although running backs, safeties and cornerbacks round out that list. Your Holder is usually your third-string quarterback with good Hands, although punters and occasionally offensive linemen will show up on this list as well.

well great minds think like

i have said that really we should have to pick each round accordingly to position and especially if we had this be the case then really MFN 69 would have never crashed when someone drafted only QBS and RBS for his team.

thread about it = https://mfn69.myfootballnow.com/forums/thread/1/38?page=1#42

basically it took 3 seasons for the team to have a winning record and get to the playoffs at 8-8 yet that team has had 4 losing seasons 5-11 in 2020 , 3-13 in 2019 , 3-13 in 2017 and 0-16 in 2016
2021 they are 0-8 with only 8 games left in the season

Now if you couldnt do each round according to position then have at least have it where QB , RB , FB , TE , WR , LT , LG , C , RG , RT , K , P , LDE , DT , RDE , SLB , MLB , WLB , CB , FS and SS get picked from round 1 to round 22 that way from Round 23 to the last round people can draft anyway they want.

You do that and teams will be cutting 30 out of 70 players and then begin to make trade after trade. It will come down to who can make the best deals . A team ends up with two awesome rbs but no line or fast WRs with a qb who can't throw deep.
