Draft Lottery
Should the NFL have a draft lottery, NBA style?

Why or why not?

Chiefs should just be given the number 1 pick every year to atone for the refs constantly being biased against us.

I wouldn't hate it. The NFL sells "parity" but.....there's 6 teams that can win a SB. We know them now, in May.

no. The NBA is different. 1 player can define a franchise on a team fielding 5 players.

No..lotteries are stupid, a team being terrible and picking 5th is honestly bullshit. If you want to use tanking as a strategy more power to you, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Also you'll never escape the questions of if it's rigged. People say tanking hurts fandom, tell me what hurts more tanking to get the #1 pick or being the worst team ever and picking 6th.

If it's better to lose games, your sport has an issue.

I mean, it would benefit us in the Mahomes era to have the chance of picking higher than 31-32.

You can use tanking as a strategy in any sport honestly...it's just ridiculous to have leagues decide "we don't like this strategy get rid of it"

In these leagues only the teams that miss the playoffs go into the lottery the rest pick in their normal spot.

If doing so causes less fan interaction, yeah the leagues should step in on it. Why wouldn't they?

Wouldn't it be worse to have your team be god awful and pick 5th? Wouldn't that make fan interest even worse? Like I don't think many teams legit tank on purpose, a few teams were vocal about it like the 76ers and the Astros and we ended up with this...

How do you feel if your just a bad rebuilding team and you get jobbed?

I think there was a short experiment in the 1950s where the regular draft started with the second pick, and the first pick was a pure lottery among all the teams. Let me see if I can find out what happened. I only read it about once a long time ago, and have never heard anything more about it.

I'm not really sure what a lottery solves on first glance. Without a lottery, you might tank to get a higher pick. With a lottery, you might tank for a chance at a higher pick. The strategy is the same, except the lottery adds a little more risk. But I'm not sure that would really change the minds of teams who would be inclined to tank.

Maybe a better approach would be to move your draft spot up by one if you win on the final week of the season. That would prevent weak teams from tanking and strong teams from sitting starters. You'd have a little bit of math to adjust for the fact that half the teams will win, but that's easy to solve.
