They were picked for one reason, to help make the team as bad as possible. I did the same thing this year with some of my picks. If we're going to stop tanking for higher draft picks, then this needs to stop as well. Terry's instinct was to disallow this type of pick and it's my understanding that a lot of keeper leagues enforce this. You might think that going to a lottery system would discourage it, but it's just going to make it tempting for teams in the middle of the pack to do it to get a shot at #1 pick. We were asked for suggestions so I'm proposing that we no longer allow this either. It's just another way of tanking to get an artificially high pick. I know we're in the middle of a vote so maybe after it is over I would appreciate Terry's or anyone else's thoughts on this.
Gotcha thanks for clarifying, those are some shady moves as well and I would agree that falls under "intentionally tanking" and not a proper effort at rebuilding or building for the future. I honestly don't think I would have ever thought of that but I guess my dad did too good of a job in raising me right.
By the way Happy Fathers day to those actually trying to be good fathers.
