Defering draft class

[sapp2013]

Not sure I see the benefit here tbh.

For the player, they get fewer NSFL seasons and regress at the same time as they would have anyway.
For admin purposes, it complicates things like tracking what season a player regresses in (which has knock on effects elsewhere).
And if a player wanted to play DSFL for longer, they can just ask to be sent back down anyway...

Am I missing something?

A lower activity prospect can defer their draft class to show they are a higher earner and maybe get drafted higher than they would have the season prior.

Balancing out draft classes so we don't have 1 class of 80 and 2 classes of 20.
