You being a draftnik, I'm sure you are familiar with the value chart, and how skewed it is toward the premium picks.
But hey, you were the one who listed trading out as a poll option. I really don't get why you are arguing so hard against it, but whatever.

Yes, I am familiar with the draft chart. Being familiar with it is why I understand just how much a team has to give up to move up into the top spot (or even top 5). That is why it is difficult. Most teams don't want to give up the value that they have to. They do, obviously, which is why the poll option is there. Same with the guard spot. It IS a weakness of this team so it is listed. Likely? Nope. But it IS an option that IS a weakness.
I don't get the frustration here. Just pick and explain if you want to participate or move on if you don't like the poll.
