*Grading the first round draft picks

[kckolbe]

Should we just refuse to pick people because they've publicly lowered their draft stock? Would that be sufficiently 'ethical', even if we never told them to lower their draft stock?

I would like to see more teams do that, to be honest. The Wraiths have had the #1 prospect (in TPE) two years in a row, and if we had been even ambivalent toward that behavior, that could have been damaging. Hell, Boggs posted one thing suggesting he wouldn't. Did you see how long it took for him to retract it? Under a day.
