Any league where teams are built through a draft is cyclical. Not every team is in win now mode every season. If they were, you would never see quality players traded for draft picks. Personally, I enjoy the strategy behind pursuing success in a cyclical league - the exchange of short-term pain for long-term gain (and vice-versa).
As for competitiveness, that's what the salary floor is for.
