I don't think that solves the issue and it doesn't really promote parity (I'd hate to see an otherwise good team get a franchise player just because they had a one time freak injury and finished 9th instead of 6th).
What I would do is narrow the lottory weightings a tad (but still have it be progressive) and have picks 1-14 all determined by the lotto (so they pull a ball for the 1st pick, then pull a ball for the 2nd pick, etc. etc.). If you have no guarentee of picking even in a small range of slots then you have no incentive to not ice your best roster.
