I wonder if we ever see the best of the kids who go first in the draft. The way the system works they almost always go to the worst performed clubs. Those clubs are usually on the bottom for a reason. Poor finances, conditions, facilities, development, coaching, support, talent etc.

It would be interesting, although it can't be done of course, to see the difference if those earliest picks went to the top clubs.

I don't follow any other sports closely. Is our draft system typical of sports like rugby, soccer and basketball for example?
