That right there is the exact reason the NFL needs the top draft picks to be a lottery system. It diminishes the integrity of the game when teams are rewarded for intentionally losing when they have the ability to win. Even though if a team wants to have the best chance at a high pick, you can't stop them from blatantly tanking. But you can ensure it's not a guarantee that they'll get the top pick if they finish worst.
