I'd really like to able to have an 'ignore impossible' option for completing a draft.

Which brings up the question, is 'impossible' the same figure for every team? Will players sign for certain teams, but not all the others? There's certainly real life incidents of this.

Would be a nice use of 'hometown' if draftees were more inclined to sign with the 'local' team. Or could go all Eli Manning on not wanting to play in SD for a crap team.
I think you forget the fact that just because a player is drafted by you, doesn't mean they want to sign for you. Players get drafted all the time and they have no intention to sign. It's not because they have a big ego, it's because they want to further their education. I think it's represented well in ootp
