Amateur Draft
1. Clubs that fail to sign first or second round draft pick will receive the same pick in the subsequent draft as compensation. Club that fails to sign a third round pick will receive a sandwich pick between rounds three and four in the subsequent draft as compensation.

Unless some information is missing this tells me that in a weak draft a team might "intentionally" low ball not sign their first rounders and save their pick for the next year when the draft would be considered better.

Take 2006 vs. this year. 2006 by all accounts was terrible and 2007 is supposed to one of the best ever hmmm. Stategy -- Offer your pick peanuts, if he takes it sign him, if not get a better guy in the same spot next year. This seems too obvious to me. What am I missing?

What happens when a team has say the 1st overall pick - doesn't sign him where does the worst team then pick?
