Well, I have never been a fan of rewarding mediocrity and punishing success in any form at all and I know the NFL isn't going to change the draft rules but they should.
I have said they should take the lowest 5 teams and let them have the picks 1-5. Then everyone else goes in the hopper and draws. If the Super Bowl winner gets pick #6 so be it.
I mean the difference between the 6th ranked team and the 12th ranked team is mostly so small that making the 12th ranked team wait 6 picks just because of a 1 game difference in records one way or the other makes no sense.
We've watered the league down so much over the years that we are looking at the real possibility that at some point a team with a losing record could make the playoffs. Parity sucks sometimes.
