Suggestion: Do away with the draft.
I've started coming around to this line of thinking in the past year or so.

These are guys that, like NFL free agents, should get to capitalize on their play in the past couple years to choose the most advantageous position for themselves that they can get.

I don't see why this idea is controversial. It'd be an insane cluster****, sure, but no worse than free agency is anyway.

I suppose the only argument that I can think of against it are:

1. If we do this, the "less popular teams" (i.e. the Jags, the Chiefs, the Bills) will have trouble bringing on top shelf talent.

and

2. The draft is designed to give all teams a fair shot, and to enforce parity upon the NFL.

I think both of these arguments are defunct.

When it comes to NFL free agency, "lesser" teams have zero trouble bringing on premier talent if they offer the most money. It's less about where the best opportunity is (with rare exceptions), and more about where the best $$$ is.

And that deflates the 2nd argument, too. The salary cap is what keeps parity in the league, not the draft. The Patriots can't scoop up the best talent at every position in a non-draft NFL, because they wouldn't have the cap space to rake in the best talent. Like everybody else, they'd have to pick which rookies they want to pursue for the +++ money, then like everybody else try to find the bargain talents and so on.

What say you?

I don't like the idea.
Yeah, there's a cap, but it can be manipulated to the point that it's meaningless, anyway. But athletes can get paid other ways, too (advertising, lower taxes, cost of living) which would give unfair advantages, as well.
So, yeah, due to the cap, every team could get superstars, buy only after they'd been picked through by the bigger teams.

The NFL has been wildly successful, so let's completely **** with it and destroy the competitive balance that led to its success.

Worst idea ever.

Competitive balance in the NFL is a myth, especially on the AFC side.

The salary cap really eliminates the need for the draft. The draft is great theater, though. It's not going anywhere.

The draft is akin to death and taxes, unless your last name is Manning.

And Direckshun shows, once again, that he's completely baffled by the NFL and the draft.

NFL is a business.

Businesses hate risk and unpredictability.

The best case scenario and worst case scenario are no where near equidistant from par.
