I am the commissioner of our league. Every year, our league holds its draft on the last Monday of August (in between weeks 3 and 4 of the preseason). The day before the draft, one league member suggested that the draft be moved until after the Tom Brady court decision had been issued. (It was known that the decision was coming some time that week, and it eventually came on Wednesday or Thursday.) I refused to move the draft, noting that it is held at the same time every year, and every year there are suspensions pending (Ray Rice, Josh Gordon, etc.). Tom Brady was drafted in the 10th round of our draft. A few days later, his suspension is lifted, and the guy that drafted him got a steal. The guy that asked me to move the draft is now furious.
My position is that everyone had the same information at the draft. Anyone could have taken a chance on Brady - it all depends on your risk tolerance. Someone did, and got a steal. But 11 other teams had 9 or 10 chances to draft him before he was taken.
What do you think? Should I have moved the draft?
