Gus - even though I prefer to build through the draft over free agency I thought what you were thinking too about throwing games but I think a team should never throw games because switching the mentality of the the team is hard and if you get used to losing players lose continue to lose confidence and it steamrolls - even into next season in my opinion. If this means we get a draft pick 10 spots lower than so be it - and actually this sometimes can be a benefit because if a draft pick is a bust at least the cap hit will be less severe in the long run if you pick farther down.
