I'd love to see. I hope that's what we get every year at the draft, but it's not really a strategy someone can plan for.
No strategy includes the specific outcomes you listed. A strategy isn't about creating a plan to create events before they exist or happen at that level of detail. You're thinking prescience and, yes, that isn't something someone can plan for.

Dallas had/has a strategy that doesn't appear that it was to burn it all down. I'm guessing part of their strategy included drafting well, though.
