You mean after, right? As in, after the draft? Because if you didn't read it that way, then I think you're misunderstanding me.

I'm not sure I like the blank spaces idea. Could it be done? Probably. But let's say that Elgin Clock is playing and says, I want all random picks in the Hawaii Regional. Do you a) give him random teams in the draft while it is still going on, or do you b) wait until the end, when the random list is mostly empty and has no good teams left on it? Either way, somebody's going to be unhappy about it.

[Note: I'm picking on Elgin because he has the tendency to make random picks late in the season; no other reason.]
