At some point, all of those teams had a greater than normal number of picks, and/or higher draft picks, than most other teams. Because if you're relying on the standard number of picks, and drafting 8th-12th every season, then your plan is to draft and develop way, way better than your peers. Which isn't so much a plan as a hope. The idea of a rebuild is to stack the young asset acquisition deck in your favour. Multiple first and second round picks. Top-five picks. Etc.
