At the very least, eliminate the possibility that any team can draft #1 overall in consecutive years, let alone 3 (or more) years running except via trade. I'd restrict consecutive top 3 picks if it were up to me, or even top 5. Make the #1 overall pick, or top 5 picks, something that you have to build responsibly around in order to fully leverage and you eliminate the problem of perpetual failure being rewarded.
