Here's three I would like to see.
- Draft Lottery:
The lottery should be an entertaining TV event bingo style with all 16 teams that miss having a chance at #1. bingo balls with team logos.
16th place - 16x3 = 48 balls (flames this year)
15th place -15x3 = 45 balls
-
- so on
3rd place - 3x3 = 9 balls
2nd place - 2x3 = 6 balls
1st place - 1x3 = 3 balls
big drum rolls and the first team with 2 balls gets 16th overall, all the way down to the team that only has 1 ball come up for #1 overall.

I've always wanted a radical change the involved picking all 16 slots, and your 2 ball solution is the perfect way to mitigate the craziest outcomes. If necessary, I think you could add a maximum 'drop' (ie worst team can pick no lower than 6th or something) instead of the current maximum jump up, which is ####ing stupid.
I'd add a few more inputs to determine the weighting:
If you picked this slot in the previous year:
1OA = +10 balls
2OA = +8 balls
3OA = +6 balls
4OA = +4 balls
5OA = +2 balls
the year before that:
1OA = +8 balls
2OA = +6 balls
3OA = +4 balls
4OA = +2 balls
and so on so that the 1OA picker from 5 years ago gets +2 balls
