This kind of shows what a crap shoot drafting can be.

Someone do the Pens but using college only players. Then have Jesse submit who he would have taken at each pick of who was still available. I have a strong feeling how this would shake out.

I think the draft one is interesting because it limits the subjectivity in drafting. They subjectivel pick one criteria to draft on, and then draft soley based on that. I bet over a long enough time frame, a GM would be much better served to simply use stats to determine his criteria and then draft based solely on that criteria going forward.
