Question

Football fans and sport commentators frequently argue over the strategies professional football teams use in drafting players. Some teams are looking for a player for a specific position, and when their turn comes, they draft the best available player at that position. Other teams simply draft the best player available regardless of position. These teams argue that by selecting the best possible player regardless of position, they can trade the player they draft now for a better player than they could draft for the desired position later. What is the MOST scarce resource that professional teams have in the drafting process? A) money B) the trades C) draft positions D) the best players
