Having an auction makes no sense. There are more participants than acts on his lineup.
So? Someone's also going to give up a ton of picks for Radiohead and nobody might want a different artist. That's why it's an auction and not randomly assigning his picks to people.

It wouldn't. With an equal budget and less artists available than participants in the auction, everything is a max bid and it's basically a first-come first-serve draft.

So you're talking about giving up draft picks after assigning them arbitrarily determined values mid-game. That's not what I thought you mean by auction.

I don't see where you're coming from.
Say I really wanted Radiohead. I could bid, say, all of my picks from rounds 22-40. Someone else could bid more. I could raise my bid. Eventually somebody's going to drop out. Or not. Maybe if multiple people bid the exact same amount then they'd go into a random generator to decide it.

I was conceiving of an auction the way auctions are typically run in fantasy, with equal budgets.
I think what you're proposing runs counter to last game when people didn't like those trades involving giving up an act for an exorbitant number of FAs, for example. It would very much distort the draft, and change any sort of strategy mid-game. It would most benefit players who are already running out of ideas in a 75-round draft.

I also think that's a bad idea.
I didn't say that I wanted that solution. I was just saying that it was an option.
BTW, if by arbitrarily assigning value to picks you mean having a 23 round pick worth more than a 24th but less than a 22... sure.
It doesn't have to be very complicated. You start with a valid for UDFA's, a point. Maybe a 75 is worth 5 points. A 74 is worth 6. Something like that.

Just for the sake of the conversation...
I think that that would be different from the controversial trades in that everyone would be publicly competing for the acts on a virtually even playing field (with the exception of someone having already traded away a relevant pick).

I think of it as being disruptive because there are people who would rather not have to think about 100 acts to draft and would rather just have Radiohead on their lineup, which was my personal issue with people trading 10+ FAs for picks or artists. It was always a fairly even playing field, as anyone could make trades, but it allows people to move away from the decided-upon format in a way that I think is too extreme. Obviously, people can play how that want to a large extent, and I don't know when I'd even draw the line, but I definitely would draw it somewhere before "oh cool Radiohead is available here are my next twenty picks." Even as a trade that would rub me the wrong way.

Fair enough.
It's a moot point but that's how I imagined it working if we went that route. The biggest upside would be that it would ultimately lead to less time between picks because a bunch of people would have a bunch less picks.

I think locked until free agency could've been fair. That way everyone has a chance but also value is diminished if too many people took an act. It would be kinda fun and fair all at the same time
Another good option would've been to just give it all to me
