NFL Draft Should the NFL do a Lottery?

**CosmicPal** · 11-07-2011, 10:01 AM

I happened to see a few moments of the Indy game yesterday and one thing seemed certain to me- that team is clearly NOT interested in winning football games.

I figured Miami was doing the same until yesterday's game against our hapless Chiefs.

I have to wonder if Indy is seriously losing to grab Andrew Luck?

So, should the NFL institute a Lottery draft like the NBA and NHL? To prevent teams from losing on purpose?

The first five picks in the draft go into a lottery pool? Would this field more competitiveness in the NFL? And prevent teams from losing on purpose?

I don't recall a year when a team or teams lost on purpose, but I have to think Indy is doing just that this year. I mean seriously, that team has some talent there to win a few games without Manning.
