    Sure, I mean what you're describing is essentially how the NBA draft lottery goes about it. Who knows why they don't do it that way, I've looked for a reason and haven't found much. 

    Should the NFL go to a system like this for the regular draft so as to avoid "tanking"?

    Nah. The reason tanking in the NBA is so effective is that parity is almost non-existent. We know going into the season what teams are gonna be good and bad, so from the jump teams are already in tank mode. The NFL has way more parody, and way less games, for that type of system. The NBA does that in part so a team like the Cavs (let's be real) don't totally tank from day one, although it doesn't work well.

    Did you mean parity.....or were you making a parody of the NFL's parity? 😆

    Come on Gip, NFL teams do tank- they're just less obvious about it. 

    Can you agree the Sashi Browns set the bar on tanking? 

    EDIT: How fast we forget the Colts "Suck for Luck".

    Sounds like the 1960s Indians they tanked every year. 😆
