Addressing the sideline topic: I still don't care a whit about draft position. I don't understand preferring the Cowboys lose for no other reason than to move up in the draft. The whole point of rooting for the team is to hope they win.
Moreover, we'll see who CLE gets at the #6 pick, and if there's not ultimately a better player left on the board at every position taken between 6 and 9 (where we ultimately pick). It's a safe bet that, somewhere in the draft, a better player than the one you might have taken had your wish for losses been granted was just waiting there for us, anyway. Me, I'd much rather the organization build competency in drafting than spend a single minute worrying about whether or not they're better off losing games.
If you can agree on a method for scoring talent by teams, and then compare that index to average draft position for the time frames covered by the current rosters, I bet you find that the teams that do the most effective job finding and developing talent aren't drafting early, anyway.
