NFL Draft Lottery?

[CarltonJunior]

I don't think Sean is just talking out of his ass considering his status with the league. I don't agree with him saying Caleb is a generational player that would cause that though

I think it would make sense given that getting the #1 pick hasn't translated to teams turning it around, particularly in the NFL. Keeps teams trying to win and prevents situations like the Flores and Hue situation from happenong again

Can you imagine the fukkery?

NFL is king in ratings..do the lottery on the weekend of the conference championship games.

I’m thinking of a 1993 style NBA Draft Lottery event

that's an argument for the lottery not being necessary since it hasn't led to these big turnarounds.


now, if you're tanking for a USC QB, you obviously don't respect your job security, but football has so many positions that you feel you could find a spectacular talent, especially later. It's easier to talk yourself into thinking someone in rounds 2-3 is gonna be spectacular for your team.


the #1 pick uniquely puts a spotlight on your team for months and sells hope. That's the main immediate benefit of tanking, but you can sell that hope just by drafting a QB if you need one.

He sounds like he's just talking out of pure speculation

Fair enough, but a lottery is a spectacle in of itself for the league vs just one team

It's an interesting discussion, I do think a few of those recent mini scandals like I mentioned earlier could be avoided with a lottery though

we need it now

 

[The God Poster]

He must already have a contract in place. He talking too loose not too

 

[Ruck]

This is the same coach who said Tua was a bust and that Teddy Bridgewater would take over as dolphins starting QB. fukk that guy

 

[feelosofer]

I don't know if its necessary. The NFL draft is already a crapshoot. You can find busts in the 1st 10 picks or star players in the 3rd rounds or later.

1.NFL coaches and players don't have the job security to tank. Teams aren't bad because they're not trying. We just watched the last place jags beat the first place ravens. We watched the Colts battle the eagles to the end. No NFL team can afford to be bad on purpose

2. Way more goes into putting together a winning NFL team than a winning NBA team. Because they play both ways, one guy can turn around a franchise trajectory. A lottery wouldn't make much of a difference in the NFL.

 

[FukkaPaidEmail]

Would make zero sense.

 

[#1 pick]

No one tanks in the NFL

 

[Street Knowledge]

If they didn’t do it for Peyton Manning Andrew Luck and Trevor Lawrence why would they do it for Caleb Williams?

 

[Doctor Doom]

USC QBs

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

No one tanks in the NFL

The Colts would say otherwise.
