Top 100 Draft picks are 50/50 wether they work out or not and I imagine anything in the 4th Rd or after the chances get significantly worse to hit on a draft pick( duh).
Problem is that there is often not a huge difference between a 6-10 team and a 9-7 playoff contender. Maybe just a handful of crucial plays. So the 9-7 team would never consider going into full rebuild mode.
We are currently on a 1-10 run. We have more talent than that, but it doesn't look like we will come close to contending this year.
I just don't see the logic in it plus tanking just makes the process longer than it has to be
