I'm really interested in this topic because I have always felt that over-drafting was a severe problem in my experience. So--and I would totally do this if I weren't currently running a long sim to establish a solo league history--would anyone be interested in the following experiment (lynch perhaps since you just drafted)?

A) Draft
B) Sim until following year's draft
C) Repeat (do this maybe like 10 times)
D) Run a 25-50 year sim
E) Check the career numbers of the guys you drafted in part C. How did guys picked in round 1 do? round 5? round 20? Were there severe over-drafts (Daniel Moskos - 4th overall, 2007)? Were there legit all-stars that went in the middle rounds (Jake Peavy - 15th round, 1999)?

I think this would be totally worthwhile and if I weren't at the beginning of my long sim I would totally do it. Thoughts?
