How would you book the upcoming draft...

This is basically how I would do it... Post your ideas...

I would have each brand getting five lottery picks in the draft...

For RAW, they would pick out of a bin of ECW and SD superstars...

For ECW, they would pick out of a bin of RAW and SD superstars...

Each brand would have to give up five superstars to gain five...

Here is my mock draft if that is what you want to call it:

RAW DRAFTS:

Mr. Kennedy (from SMACKDOWN!) - could become a huge face
Chris Benoit (from SMACKDOWN!) - needs new opponents to get pushed
Mark Henry (from SMACKDOWN!) - new opponent for Cena
Marcus Cor Von (from ECW) - can break out as a singles star and get a big push
Trinity or basically any diva that might be a fit in the Women's division (from ECW)

SMACKDOWN! DRAFTS:

Shawn Michaels (from RAW) - the huge main eventer they need in the long run
Jeff Hardy (from RAW) - reunite with his brother and shake up the midcard scene
Rob Van Dam (from (ECW) - help while he's around due to the injuries
Matt Striker (from ECW) - could get some kind of push, although I never liked him
Mike Knox (from ECW) - needs something new to get going, could get a push

ECW DRAFTS:

Rey Mysterio (from SMACKDOWN!) - could give them a much needed superstar
Funaki (from SMACKDOWN) - could be like the new Tajiri of ECW
Umaga (from RAW) - another main eventer to give the brand some credibility
Super Crazy (from RAW) - original plus matches with Guido, Funaki could be great
Viscera (from RAW) - needs something new, ECW might be that something

This leaves the brands consisting of these "upper-card" superstars (I know some of them have been buried constantly, but these are still the guys that can at least qualify as legit singles midcard/main event guys):

ECW:

Lashley
CM Punk
Rey Mysterio

Umaga
Elijah Burke
Snitsky

RAW:

John Cena
Chris Benoit
Triple H - INJURED
Mr. Kennedy - INJURED

Randy Orton
Mark Henry
Carlito
Marcus Cor Von

... because we all know Great Khali won't last in the picture...

SMACKDOWN!:

Batista
Shawn Michaels - INJURED
UnderTaker - INJURED
Kane

... Rob Van Dam for the time being until he is gone to make up for the situation...

Edge
Finlay
King Booker - INJURED
MVP

Say what you will, but I think these rosters would be a lot more balanced and make for much more exciting TV for the coming year...
