Jim Ross moving is definitely good. It instantly adds a new feel to SmackDown!, something that the other moves of the draft (particularly Triple H) will do, as well. He will also get to work with Mick Foley, who if remains a commentator, could have quite the legendary stretch in front of him. JR/Foley could be a fantastic team, if you ask me. JR is your usual babyface-bias commentator, and Foley has been playing a more "you have to give the bad guys credit" role than he would as a wrestler. That was the kind of chemistry that made JR/King initially so good, in my opinion. Also, post-production will help JR sort his shit out.
This also phases out JR as lead commentator of the WWE. He's not going to be around forever, and seems to be taking it "night at a time." According to some of his blogs. It's a way of moving JR out of the spotlight a bit, and letting him ease into the sunset.
Ideally, Tazz will swap with Jerry Lawler in the supplementary draft, as Michael Cole and Tazz were quite a good duo, and Lawler working with Mike Adamle could be hilarious. I mean, I think I would prefer Cole/Tazz and Adamle/Lawler to Cole/King and Adamle/Tazz, respectively, so while still not perfect teams, the swaps would do them good.
