Finances - When it's your franchise's turn to draft, current finances play a role. If your franchise doesn't have enough player payroll to draft a player, it will skip it's turn in the draft. This player payroll is dynamic during the draft, because in one round you may only have $100K available, for insatnce, but in the next you may have $477K available if another club happened to draft away a player making $327K and also paid you the $50K draft fee. This is a very important piece, so don't neglect it's impact on the draft.
