I had a couple of other ideas that may work before I resort to that. Setting a limit on the number of players of a certain age (i.e. 18) that can be picked by one team in a draft is the best one; that's actually how the 74 draft worked (one 18-year-old per team, had to be taken in rounds 1 or 2). The other would be splitting the 74 draft into two drafts on separate days - first two rounds would be one draft with an 18-year-old age limit, remainder would be in another draft that's 19+. Both are going to require some extra coding work, though, so it's a matter of where to fit them in - we also want to add the Waiver/Intra-League drafts to historical, so that may come first.
