With the tag, at least teams can hold onto a player for a year or two until the player caves and decides to sign long term or until they can get something in a trade.
Could you imagine how crushed you would be as a fan if the Chiefs drafted a QBOTF and then he just walked away in FA?

I just don't think you should be able to hold a player like that against his will. It would suck to lose players like that, but I think it would put somewhat more pressure on teams to win and put forth more effort in retaining players not just knowing you can slap the tag on someone.
