At least the draft gives you a chance.

But if you had cap space you could get the guys you want. Gavin McKenna is going to take your 3 year 24 million dollar contrat no matter which team offers it. Depending on where you were in your competitive cycle you could just buy elite talent. If a player is going to be paid the same everywhere and somebody will eventually want them there is no incentive to just go to whatever random city drafted you.
