I just noticed the consolation prizes are worth more than 9-13 overall...that doesn't seem right to me. I think the maybe the Overall Champion should be reduced to like $150,000 or $175,000...use that money to make sure 9-13 overall are equal or greater to the consolation prizes.

Kyle dominated the championship round! When you look at his picks in rounds 6-9, you can see why. Diggs, Waller, Murray and Robinson. That was an incredible draft! Congrats!
