Re: Make Scounting Count: NFL Draft Style

I think this is a great idea, but that's just my opinion. I'm sure there is a reason why FIRST chooses to do the drafting process like they do. No matter what, there will always be some controversy though. We are all robotics people, and we are always looking for something to invent or improve. Therefore, to me, this idea sounds like it would work rather smoothly, however I would still like to see what everyone else thinks...

Also, I think teams become "friends" with each other by drafting each other. So, eventually you should have a ton of "friends," right?
