Would it be possible to, post-draft

Have an append to a players name, or some sort of indication that he was a former high draft pick? Say, for example...

ss Armando Garcia (1;13) meaning 1st round 2013.

Possible? Good idea?

Retired people in latest Rosters in History say if they were Drafted and by who and search by Retired.

I can see how this might be useful, but I personally wouldn't want it. It'd be nothing but clutter if I wasn't interested in when he was drafted. And you can always check the player's History page.

So, I dunno. I get where you're coming from, but I'm not sure this would be received well.

Rather than adding things TO the names, I would prefer we remove something FROM the names at the top of the player page.....

PLEASE, remove the nickname from up there and put it down in the box where his hometown info is located.....if this was done, I would not have to delete all the nicknames every time I play.....

I'd like this option, but only if it was put into view columns that you could toggle on/off. Most of the time, I don't really care about a player's draft history, but if I'm trying to pick trade targets, maybe this could be handy. I'd only want to see it when it's something I actually care about, because it wouldn't really change my day-to-day roster management.

I'd also like to see the option to view what # pick he was taken at in total, so along with seeing he was taken at 5:19, you can see he was the 169th overall pick.
