Is it time the NFL changes how it gives out draft picks.. since the Colts tanked its season for Andrew Luck the race for the #1 overall pick has become the storyline most NFL fans do not want to see every year. The trust in teams is an all time low due to what is happening on the field with these teams losing, it literally has become an art for teams.
So for me it's time for a change.. make teams earn the #1 overall pick.
Keep the playoff teams in there usual position with the last picks of the draft round, that being this year 19 to 32.
Then reverse the norm, the best team not to make the playoff wins the #1 pick. make the league more exciting so that every game matters, the more the lower teams try to win the better for the league, better for the spectacle, better for us fans. So now the team that has the worst record has the 18th pick... this is a good thing for that team IMO the cost of always picking top 5 picks becomes prohibitive taking players at this point will enable teams to grow slowly and with prudence.. then when they are half decent then maybe they can win that #1 pick that can tip them over to become a playoff team for a few seasons.
Would love this to be talked about as a possible change in the next team meetings, but if they did it would suggest teams are tanking.. which is like the elephant in the room on a Sunday.
As a team that clearly tried to be above tanking maybe it could be a reason why the Patriots could motion the change.
So with this theory the Patriots would have had 4th overall and Miami 1st overall, but chances are more teams would have tried to win and reality is skewed.
