If your dynasty draft was snake and than the rookie draft was also snake. Why would you want it to be linear season 2 for the rookie draft? There is such little seperation between the "#1 team" and "#12". Linear rookie drafts feels like bs for a team that had a good playoff run

How close are the teams?

Is it a very competetive league?

My league (10 man) has the bottom 4 teams locked in for the 1-4 picks, then 5-10 pick based on final playoff standing. After year 1 the rookie drafts should be linear 100%

Fantasy football is a game of luck, I’m guessing you fished pretty good on the season and have a later pick and therefore want to have an earlier 2nd round pick. Not the way it should go unfortunately

linear for each round

little separation between the worst and first team? huh? makes zero sense. I dont think the championship team should be rewarded with the first pick in the 2nd rd. the idea is to have it mimic the NFL draft. snake rookie draft make no sense for a league

also you say this now because it sounds like this is a new league. as time goes on and rosters start to change and things shift, I bet you change your opinion for sure
