Who doesn't love a good draft?

If you didn't see the last episode of LOST and you don't want me to ruin everything about it this would be a good time to get out of here. At the end of the last episode after encountering Captain Scruffy McOther in the jungle Jack sits down with Ana-Lucia and says "Sayid tells me you're a cop. How long do you think it would take to train an army?". Okay great shes a cop but (as Steve pointed out) Sayid was already IN the army wouldn't he be the guy to talk to? I expect there to be some conflict in the way a cop would train an army verses how a soldier would do it (not to mention the whole she killed his island girlfriend thing). So my solution is to make two teams, and the only way to make it fair and balanced is to have a draft. Ana-Lucia gets the first pick because Sayid already has the advantage considering his experience.

Round 1: Ana-Lucia Pick - Mr. Eko

A smart first pick. One of the strongest castaways has already killed two of the others with his bare hands and stared down the monster. Plus Eko and Ana-Lucia have been together since the crash and have a history of working well together.

Round 1: Sayid Pick - Jack

This was a tough call, Sayid struggled between taking either Jack or Locke but in the end realizing that the need for a doctor could be the turning point he made the smart choice.

Round 2: Ana-Lucia Pick - John Locke

Another great pick, Locke brings superior tracking skills to the team which is sure to be an asset. Plus he also has a connection with teammate Eko and thats good for team chemistry.

Round 2: Sayid Pick - Kate

This pick might have had a little bit of Jack's influence, but its a great pick. Shes a proven tracker which this team was in need of and she has serious gun experience. Plus shes hot beyond reasonable logic and you don't want to miss a chance to add that value to a team.

Round 3: Ana-Lucia Pick - Michael

I was suprised to see Michael go this early in the draft, but you can't fault Ana-Lucia's logic. "Did you see that raft he built? Surely he can make us some coconut guns or something"

Round 3: Sayid Pick - Sawyer

Remember when this guy killed a polar bear? Hes a steal to get at the end of the 3rd round. Although the gamble of putting Jack, Kate and Sawyer all on the same team could backfire.

Round 4: Ana-Lucia Pick - Jin

Other than his wife, Michael seems to be the only castaway able to consistantly understand Jin so this was a good pick to pair these two up. Jin has shown extreme toughness in surviving the raft expedition and rumbling with crazy Ethan.

Round 4: Sayid Pick - Vincent

It looked like Charlie was sure to come off the board with the last pick of the draft, but Team Sayid was so unimpressed with the abilities Charlie would be bringing to the table that they drafted the dog.
