NFL needs a draft lottery…

[bills6969]

To prevent teams like the Jets from purposely throwing games.  Was so obvious they tanked the game at the end to lose.

Why exactly would the Jets tank?  They played a great game against a Tampa team that were heavy favorites, and nearly won.  Not to mention the Lions have the 1st picked locked up basically.  

[WhoTom]

When it comes to the Jets, throwing a game and simply choking are indistinguishable from each other.

The Jets did not throw that game away. I watched the ending, and they were on their way to winning...until they remembered they're the Jets.

 

They went for it on 4th down deep in TB territory to go for the win, and came up short.

Don't mess with the shield

The NFL doesn't need a lottery because the bust rate for NFL players is sky high.  In the NHL and NBA if you're picked #1 overall you're very likely to be an all-star.

Dumbest post of the year candidate. And it's only 2 days in.

Not a fan of lotteries, certainly not for the NFL.

If a team tanks for the first overall pick, so be it...normally they would have to strip their roster so bare it would take a while to recover.

Even if no teams have tanked on purpose, you never want it to happen - or even think it could happen. Draft lottery just makes sense, at least for the 1st round. Make sure that the worst teams have greatly increased odds to still pick first or early but yeah, it is needed.

They don't have a chance at the 1st overall pick but with the lottery they would

QB sneak on a 4th and long 2 when up by 4.  Dumbest playcall I’ve seen this year

We have all seen how well tanking has worked for the Sabres!

Mike Schopp had the right idea of having the draft ordered determined by order of being eliminated from the playoffs so there’s no incentive to lose more once you’re out of it.

Not that the Jets really needed to but they can throw next week's game if they want

[78thealltimegreat]

No it wasn’t tanking they just have a terrible coach and shouldn’t be running an nfl franchise and that’s Rex Ryan saying that

Well, it's only the 2nd so give it time.

[Jay_Fixit]

Right but the Jets would choose a guy like Zach Wilson anyway. So we’re good.

[GunnerBill]

I wouldn't mess with it. Current system is fine.
