Drafting, but not signing, a player selected 30th results in compensation to the tune of #60 overall in a later draft, while drafting, but not signing, a player selected 31st results only in heartache and woe.</i><br /><br />That is something I didn't know and wouldn't have guessed at so to get it spelled out like that is freakin' awesome for a draft guy like myself.YKOilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17691795778800270630noreply@blogger.com
