There has been recent speculation in the media that perhaps someday in the future that the NFL may adopt an NBA-style draft lottery.
And that idea doesn’t thrill a lot of Las Vegas Raiders fans. We recently asked our community members if, as a Raiders’ fan, would they like to see the NFL make the draft lottery-pick based at the top of the first round like the NBA does. Major League baseball just adopted a similar plan.
The results weren’t close as about three quarters of the voters think the NFL draft lottery would be an awful idea.
The Raiders drafted sixth this year based on the win/loss formula. A draft lottery could have enhanced the pick all the way to No.1 or dropped them down all the way to No. 18.
So, it’s a risk and I agree with most of our voters on this subject. It’s a lousy idea. Keep the current system, NFL.
