There’s a relatively new school of thought that it’s OK to tank in the NFL and rebuild a team through the draft.
In recent years, it seems the Cleveland Browns have adopted that philosophy and the Jets appear to be following Cleveland’s lead.
It’s a disastrous school of thought.
It’s too hard to find talent in the NFL draft to employ philosophy. First-round picks fail regularly, let alone those taken in the second round or later. Finding the future is not about looking at successful college players and bringing them into the fold. It’s much more involved and quite complicated.
