I understand the need to help bad teams dial the suck down to a reasonable level, but what the draft needs is a 'poison pill' to disincentivize tanking.

Something along the lines of:

- Getting the first overall pick in Year X means that they are prohibited from drafting in the top 10 in Year Y.

It removes the incentive to constantly acquire top picks. You get the help but theres no sense in trying to tank the next season because you're not getting the payoff anyways.
