A lottery is a bad move and it really isn't needed in the NFL anyway since the talent pool is usually much deeper in the NFL than the NBA. This year is a great example...the first two prospects in Oden and Durant are light years ahead of the 3rd pick and below. Also, one player can truly change your team overnight in the NBA, whereas no one player in the NFL will suddenly turn a lousy team into a contender, no matter how good they are.

One change I would support is a Rookie salary cap structure like the NBA...the top 15 draft picks in the NFL are WAY overpaid for what they bring to the table. Paying 30 Mil to a guy who has never taken a snap in the league is insane if you ask me.
