This bit fascinates me knowing nothing about it. Do these draft picks have absolutely no say on who they play for? If that's the case presumably no say on their pay either as they are not free to negotiate with other teams? It all seems a remarkable restriction on freedom from a country that supposedly prides itself on it to an outsider looking in.It's perverse, as teams at the bottom are rewarded with the highest draft picks. Supporters actually get upset when a team at 0-14 go on a 2 match win streak to end at 2-14 and miss out on the top draft pick (the next super QB coming out of college).
How long are they contracted for and do they get to exercise greater freedom on future moves?
