yeah, playing time and post season honors count too, but honestly, its number in, number out as the only really important factor. if we signed no one and they went to the pro bowl, we would have gotten two high picks, but we signed two people and they both had injury problems anyways.

contract value difference only gets you crap picks there's a guy on the KFFL forums whose crazy into comp picks and he gets 90%+ right every year (right = right team, right round... he missed 4 by one round this year and that was it)..
