The reason I invested some money in it was because:
1. A bunch of my league mates had publicly proclaimed their hatred of the draft, making the chance of me getting two high quality players much better.
2. I knew I would have a bad season, so I would draft with a great pick.
The exact same reason I didn't totally scrap spending weekly money on draft. I figured I would get someone decent. My 9th pick (5th choice) is a $4K guy with "star" potential. He's not even as good as my 5th trainee. Add me to the 280K saver club
However, I do have to say this year it was totally worth it for me since for my 3rd pick I got to draft the guy with the greatest name in the history of buzzerbeater... Richard Cox. Totally worth the money!
