Personally I like making it a double progressive since I should have decent picks over the next 2-3 seasons. Should be able to build a contender quicker. I would also understand if some people had a big problem with it, since drafting/trading strategy in the last draft would've definitely been different knowing this beforehand. Remember people traded away future first rounders during the draft. In this senerio they have a lot more value in my mind (2nd rounders too, and I know ben collected a bunch of them)
Are you suggesting doing 77-79 or 77-78 and then (as an example) 97-98? Not sure if 77-79 would solve the scrubs issue, and adding 97-98 would create a set of other issues.
