I tried to see if I could fail a draft with this thing. Here's what I did.

Simulator had the trade up to 11 locked in, so I started the draft with the following ridiculously horrible trades:

Pick 11 overall to the Giants for the 4th round pick we gave them to get pick 11.
Pick 52 to the Cowboys for their 7th round pick in 2022
Pick 83 to the Eagles for their 7th round pick in 2022
Picks 204 and 208 to the Washington Football Team for their 7th round pick in 2023.
With pick 221, took LB Nick Niemann from Iowa (second lowest rated player on PFF's list).
With pick 228, took Edge Carlo Kemp from Michigan (lowest rated player on PFF's list).

Having basically thrown away the whole draft, I thought it would be graded very badly. Well, ....

Didn't like the trades from the top of the draft, but an A- for the second lowest player on their board?

Gonna try another, trading every pick for a single 7th round pick in 2023. Should get an F.

After trading all our picks to the Jets for their 2022 7th, got an F. Tried to trade some 2022 picks to Houston, but they wouldn't take them.
