I think we should delay the draft a few months to help guide this decision I added another poll on this question as I've heard similar from 4 owners including you. rg

I think a fully random draft is patently unfair. The strength of teams doesn't change that dramatically year over year, so if last year's winner draws the #1 overall, I think that's way too much of an imbalance.
I'd do an NBA-style weighted lottery, giving the five new teams the weighted average of the five teams they were dispersed from.
If that's too complicated, I'd use 2020 and slot the five new owners in the weighted average of the five teams they were dispersed from (in random order)

Completely random is crap. Maybe random within pods of 8 or something?

Completely random is crap. Maybe random within pods of 8 or something? I don't necessarily have anything against this idea, but how do we bucket off the league and, more difficult, the 5 new guys? This becomes complicated very quickly if you do anything besides completely random. rg

We know the combined records of the five teams their teams are made up of. Two decent and three bad teams. Take the combined record and slot them all based upon the average. Then bucket and/or do a percentage from there.
It wouldn't be hard. If it comes to it, I volunteer to do the math.

I'm opposed to the random draft order, and don't think we need to make a decision on this right now.

I agree with IBX. It's a sensible solution.

I agree with IBX. It's a sensible solution. I'm counting 3 people at least that like this idea, but I only see 1 vote in the "Other category". I would say that this is the only "other" that has been suggested. Please make sure to vote if you haven't. rg

Who is allowing Greeney to put in a frozen ping pong ball with his team name on it?

Who is allowing Greeney to put in a frozen ping pong ball with his team name on it? If, and it's a big if, we were to choose a random drawing, then we would do it on Zoom and I would have a container with 24 team names in it while someone else would have a container with 24 draft slots in it. We would draw simultaneously in front of everyone and slot teams that way. I'm sure there is a way to rig it still, but I haven't figured out an obvious way to do that yet so it should be pretty secure. rg

Then bucket and/or do a percentage from there. It wouldn't be hard. If it comes to it, I volunteer to do the math. For both the new and existing owners, would the slotting be based on just last year's record, last 3/x year's records, projected record for this year, or something else? Just using last year's record to wall off teams seems limited to me. rg

I agree that a random drawing is good, but I also like the idea of weighing it to how teams finished in 2019 like the NBA draft lottery. www.tankathon.com/pick_oddsSomething where a team can't drop lower than five spots over where they finished and a team that made the playoffs can't finish inside the spots occupied by those who didn't make the playoffs.
