Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 3948890, member: 199"] I think with limited high end talent the mock drafters were hanging their hats on stats and not looking closely at players. The players that actually make teams are going to be pretty limited in minutes I expect, and I suspect the GMs are looking at specific traits that might possibly fill a need on their team. The good teams have already got 10 or 11 players set and could just as easily fill with other players that get cut later or are current FAs as with players outside the top 5 or 8 unless they find a hidden gem. Lot of small school fliers in the third round - player that weren't easy to evaluate by stats as they had limited game film with and against superior college players. Even the AA team voters had a hard time determining the quality of seniors and filled teams with underclassmen. Telling note - Seattle traded the #1 pick in this draft for Lou who is being passed around the W like a hot potato. And they traded the #11 pick for a 2019 late second rounder who has actually improved a little in her 2 years in the league. Strange note - Seattle then drafted 3 players in 2nd and 3rd rounds. MN took one shot in the first and exited the rest of the draft - I actual think they got a possible roster player in Davis. [/QUOTE]
