But it's not really stealing if no one has player selected in a draft slot before some other team pries him out. Just bidding the highest and then not having to worry isn't the same.
The more I think about it, the more I believe that the certainty that comes with the current draft system is what makes tanking attractive. Even though there is still the draft lottery, the range of final outcomes for the draft order are still pretty narrow.
