I hate to raise this issue again, but what happened to the time when an amatuer was 'happy' just to be drafted??  Since when does a person who hasn't played 1 min. in a  professional game get to say where he's drafted??  I remember when Elway did it, it disgusted me then and it ticks me off now...maybe I'm just 'stuck' in the good old days, but how is a poor team able to get better w/o the draft???
