My cunning plan to fix the NFL draft order and why it's a problem

The shitty teams would just makes sure and lose ALL their games to make sure their 3-year average stays shittier than the other shitty teams. It would just create super-tanking by the crappy teams.

The only think your dumb ass plan does is keep a really good team from benefiting from a single bad year.

A much simpler and more effective fix:

flip-flip the draft order of the non-playoff teams.

playoff teams still pick #20-32 with the super bowl winner picking last

#1-19 would be reversed from the current order

The last team that didn't make the playoffs gets rewarded with the #1 pick

The team with the worse record picks #19.

Then teams would be fighting to win games late in the year. The teams that almost make the playoffs would get a high picks, helping them take the final and hardest step to the playoffs.

All these shitty teams aren't making good use of the highest picks now anyway. Stop rewarding them with picks they have no idea how to use.

Now that's a real fix.

you suck

It's just as much of an awful idea in this thread as it was in the other thread.
