I don't envy the position the GMs are in, having to look at all these possible draft picks and coming up with some sort of ranking to use for picking your draft picks when the time comes. Personally I would be looking for character guys first, the guys who seem extremely active on the site and potentially in the locker room. The more active your new players are the more other players are encouraged to stick around and keep pushing through. After looking at activity you can take a look at how much work they've put in up to this point. Have they written large articles or made graphics to pad their bank accounts and are they completing as many tasks as they can to make sure they are earning the maximum TPE? Once you have this all down on paper (spreadsheet), you can work from there to come up with a ranking for the draftees. If it was me I would also be reaching out to as many draftees as possible and getting a feel for how they would fit in the room. You don't want to end up drafting someone who would divide your room and make for a bunch of drama. That's the kind of thing that would scare players off from signing with you in free agency or renewing their contracts.
