There is something funky about the NFL draft being one of the NFL ’s marquee events.

But as interest continues to grow, there has been relatively little pushback from the prospects slated to go at the top of the first round.

The NFL has not been a victim of serious tanking efforts (although some have tried). Unlike the NBA or NHL , the NFL has.

Unlike the.

NBA , NHL and MLB all employ a weighted draft lottery system.

All players eligible to be drafted, but not eligible to play until they’re three years removed from college.

Franchises should decide whether it’s worth drafting, stashing and developing a player until they can see the field, or select a prospect they know can play as a rookie.

A salary pool would be an augmented version of the traditional draft.

Teams at the bottom of the standings would still have an upper hand in negotiations.
