I think the steal function has suffered mainly due to this being an out and out all time draft with no restrictions. For example when it was my turn to steal, obviously Hutton with Hobbs and Viv would have been great but I thought I can maybe get Sutcliffe who even if not Hutton is still good enough, and so I decided to take the double pick instead. I think Kyear's case was the same, while Grimmett was tempting, Laker isn't a bad choice at all. So basically due to the abundance in quality that would never be over, the temptation is not enough to force someone.

Maybe in a draft where there are plenty of restriction like limited number of players from some nations/decades etc, there would be a bigger reason to steal a player who gives you a major tactical edge.

Draft with restrictions would be great or even the old 'Scorecard' draft which was super fun.
I think that if the double-pick was allowed with the steal then most people would have used the steal option. As it stands we have what essentially equates to an 'Open Play Sandbox' draft. This is not a bad thing, so just enjoy it.

You are picking a keeper who bats worse than Marshall?
