Plus it looks like a deep draft in the top 5 to 10 and that is very enticing (deeper than last year IMO).
In the end the playoffs should still be the goal, but at the same time I am not completely heartbroken if the team doesn't make the playoffs. 1 step backwards may help us take 2 or 3 steps forward in the long term.

I don't think Brad is the type of GM who will make those kinds of decisions based on whether or not they squeak into the playoffs. During his intermission interview with Millions, he said he believes the .500 record is a reflection of this team. That means he know he needs to improve the and won't be handing out contracts like candy if they squeeze in.
Furthermore, drafting high has never guaranteed anything, so tanking should always be frowned upon, and you should never feel torn about winning. Ever. Period.
