Long suffering teams like the Commanders finally got a QB and were a game from the Super Bowl. How can you say that isn’t parity? If anything, we’ve learned that bad ownership is the primary cause of futility

Again, there's 3, maybe 4 teams in the AFC that will be in the SB this year. No? |

Oddly, because of its nature and randomness, MLB has the most parity of any pro sport.

Okay, here we go. From 1947 to 1958, the first pick in the draft was awarded on a lottery basis as a bonus pick, with all teams equally weighted in the draw. The order of the draft was not changed other than adding a "bonus" #1 pick, so the winning team that year essentialy got two first-round choices. If a team won the lottery, they were then excluded from future lotteries until every team had won. They basically got through one cycle of the existing teams by 1958 and then abandoned the system.
Is this a good system or a bad system? https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profoo...have-one-again For the sake of history the twelve bonus picks were: 1947 - RB Bob Fenimore (Bears) 1948 - RB Harry Gilmer (Redskins, not the Commanders) 1949 - C/LB Chuck Bednarik (Eagles) 1950 - WR Leon Hart (Lions) 1951 - RB Kyle Rote (Giants) 1952 - QB Bill Wade (Rams) 1953 - WR Harry Babcock (49ers) 1954 - QB Bobby Garrett (Browns) 1955 - QB George Shaw (Colts) 1956 - QB Gary Glick (Steelers) 1957 - RB Paul Hornung (Packers) 1958 - QB/P King Hill (Cardinals) It looks like maybe some teams should have invested more money in scouting.

Also you'll never escape the calls that it's rigged the fact that Dallas has the #1 pick alone makes everyone think it's rigged.

In the NFL... they've dumbed down playbooks and concepts so much for the athletic running QB that I am not sure that the QB pool is that limited anymore. It's more about the organization and the QB is still the most important position on the field. |

I wouldn't be surprised if the NFL turns that direction at some point. Follow the $. They could turn that into a huge money maker. Equivalent to the first night of the draft. Put a ping pong ball for all the franchises who failed to make the playoffs the year prior and have it. Tens of millions of eye balls would be on that. Would also eliminate tanking late in the year.

Bottom two teams battle it out the last week of the season for the right to draft first. Or make it a 4 team playoff, for the first four picks. That way teams would have to try and win a least once. I've seen two many teams shut down their high priced players to avoid injury and guaranteed contracts. There is a big difference between drafting 1st and 4th.

No, I hate the god damn draft lottery and hate that baseball implemented it. It's ****ed the Royals multiple times and they've missed out on way better prospects a couple of times. The worst teams need to get the best young talent.

I had an idea to give out draft slots in order of the team with the worst record over 2 years. All playoff teams pick in the last 12 (now 14) draft slots according to current rules.
It gave a lift to teams who can’t seem to avoid the top 10 every year. In my opinion they are truly worse teams than a playoff team who just had a bunch of injuries and all of a sudden winds up picking a generational QB they don’t deserve. Andrew Luck should’ve been a Cleveland Brown. Don’t tell me the truly worst team in football only needs an outstanding draft to get back to the playoffs. And yes, that includes the Chiefs in 2013. |

Also, my method discourages teams from tanking because now you can’t just be bad for a year to get what you want. If you’re going to tank, you need to wait an additional year to see your tank job truly pay off

The NHL just had its 10th worst team win their lottery for the 1st pick.. they had a 2% chance. It's kind of dumb.
