Sorry you feel that way, but it's one of many ways in which historical mode doesn't model history perfectly, and when it comes to prioritizing which ones get dealt with first, those that are easy to change and/or have a major impact on gameplay will tend to go first. Unfortunately, the weak draft in 1974 doesn't match either criteria very well - it only affects one draft in one league, and changing it requires re-working the draft code in ways that'll take time away from other things that could be done. Adding waiver/intraleague drafts (whose absence affects the realism of about 50 seasons) may, for example, be a better use of that time. I still want to change it for FHM5, but I don't know if it'll make the final cut for what gets done for the release version.
