While that's an interesting idea, it would be so messy in practice. First of all, teams are going to be officially eliminated at different times so the amount of points available is going to be different for each team. I guess you could go by % of points or wins, instead of total, to keep it more fair, but then you get a team who is eliminated with one game left and then wins their last game for a 100% rating for the draft. Lastly, just figuring it out would be time confusing and messy both for the teams involved and for the league.
