I was thinking about the non value of most of the prospect picks. As a way to increase the value of these i propose we limit the rds of prospect drafting to say 2 or 3 rds while mainting the current number of prospects all teams hold. What are your thoughts on this?

Unfortunately you can't do one without the other, that is, you can't force everyone to have 8 prospects, and not also have 8 rounds to your prospect draft.
Consider the case of Bob. He starts the year with 8, trades all 8 away, and now he needs 8 new prospects! To replace them all the league would need to make sure he has 8 rounds to do so.
but if we did say 3 rds of picks then he would need to reaquire picks in his deals to fill up his prospects or be SOL. This would give prospect picks alot more value.
As long as Bob treats his prospects and picks like candy; and the leagues beloved cadre of obsessive "vets" values them as worth so much more than candy we need the opportunity for any given GM... well Bob, really... to completely replenish all 8 prospect picks every given year.
What are the advantages to what you are proposing over our current system Chris? At the moment we're carrying a lot of dead currency value... yes... but so what? It's not like they're copper coins ripping out your pocket. The stockmarket routinely deals with differences of value in the area of 1/1000 of a penny (roughly the value of an 8th PrD.)
The PrDs give a nice liquid currency to the system, because they are reliably cashed out at the end of each year. The RFA system does the same to an extent, but is too tied up to the individual players. (The FP system is the equivalent of using Iron Bars as the main unit of currency... and that's why the Spartans lost the war.)
Yes, 8th round PrDs are so near valueless not even Bob trades for them, but so what? If they're there it guarantees the base currency for every one else, because it means it can all be cashed out at the end of the year.
Richard.
