Reviewing the 2008 draft
for fun!
As I am going through player salaries for the past
season to come up with salary caps for the coming season I decided to
review last years draft. The draft is never a sure thing and there are
always surprises in the draft. I thought I would share my observations
with you.
Here they are by
round, overall pick, time to pick and points scored for the team that
drafted them versus overall points scored in league.
