I suspect a few coaches could answer this, but just want to make sure:
- Pre-season draft picks can only be used to select this year’s newly drafted AFL players, eg Jamarra Ugle-Hagan and his cohort. These will all be 2 year contracts, at the SCSUL price listed in the 2021 Draftable players tab (212k for JUH).
- There will be a separate, subsequent draft for unowned players. I assume the order for this is TBD, but will follow a snake format. The prices for these players are set at the SCSUL price on the same tab, but contract years can be determined by the drafting player.
The implication of this is that I can use my pre-season #1 pick to select Ugle-Hagan, but not an unowned player like Aaron Hall.
If I really want Hall, I’ll just have to hope no one else takes him before my first pick in the unowned player draft 🙂 He would then cost me 401k for as many years as I determine.
Is that correct?
