I'd say that that's one option, but it could be significantly flawed if the # of drafts and the # of players didn't match up fairly closely. For District drafts, that'd probably be the better option: Randomize the first one, and rotate the rest based on that. (Once all areas are District, then of course it'll be a moot point.) I was going to pull that for the DCMPs, but was reminded that those are by District score.
Yeah while the average may be "closeish" the first/last picks were terrible. If you look at the points distribution over first/last picks quite certain the top 2 picks will on average have a much much higher point average than any other position. So just because your "average" draft order may be semi acceptable, the huge disproportionate first picks between teams I think is a big big issue. You can see that in my post on the main thread.
