I forgot to write about the free agency period before the draft. As you're scouting college players, you also have the opportunity to sign free agents during the off season. These players have been cut from other teams, sometimes because they're not good enough to play, sometimes because they want more money than their team can pay. If you want to grab a good free agent, get them when they're first available. The good ones go quickly, and are expensive. (I'll usually get 2 free agents max, sometimes none at all).
