This came across my Twitter timeline yesterday:
As I tell my classes, imagine the concept of a Draft in other walks of life. If you were the best lawyer/doctor/engineer in the country, you go to the worst community in the country for lawyers/doctors/engineers! But in sports, it is bargained and we don't blink an eye. #Burrow

It really is odd that the NFL, like most North American sports, rewards the teams with the worst records with the best incoming players from the college ranks.
