Draft player obfuscation was tossed around in the test league for a few seasons . Using this model could be a way to see future draft classes early .


I know this idea did not go over well in active drafts. Still, I enjoyed parts about it.

Looking at some potential high school players grades(40 times icluded) ....as well as some college player potential grades. ....I doubt anyone really knows what the future will bring. Yes, to a general degree a small percentage of the time yes, but guys are scouted starting at the pop warner level.

The main point here that I am trying to drive is the fact that here unreal prevention measures were put on seeing future draft classes to inhibit desires to tank in order to get future blue chippers.

Now, I don't see the same situation as the past .......I see legit team building processes being blocked by an outdated measure.

Yes, a team can still tank but viable starters are more available throughout the draft. A bit more balancing could be used but it's better. I see top owners shooting for aquiring mid level picks in the chance of a boom to a pro bowler or starter. As, well as preventing low salary demands by elite players restructures .

Enough prelude to the actual suggestion. .....and the work could be cumbersome , but the foundation (obfuscation ) has already been made.

Just adding a view future drafts section with players obfuscated would be quite awesome .

Other additional options could be the scouting one or having a coach rating that includes a scouting ability .

Like I said use player obfuscation for seeing future draft classes only . The more obfuscated they are the further they are in to the future . At least one year if not two years....sometimes guys are just waiting to be drafted from their freshman year
