You can draft them, sure. But if they don't meet the WIS minimums in 09, then they get dropped in the supplemental round, and players who will play get picked up. We don't have AAA, so there's nowhere for them to go. In short, you're gambling now that these kids come up and contribute this season. But, you still have the fallback position with the supplemental draft.
