BroChaos Veteran Posted April 22, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 22, 2004 just let them enter! if the teams wanna draft them, then they must be worth it. they just don't draft sucky people for no reason (well, not usually). if they flop, they flop. if they get pounded, they get pounded. so what? let the player decide if he wants in or not. let the team decide if he's good enough or not. let the game decide if he'll make it or not. are teams forced to draft every last player that is entered into the draft??
