Got the idea from another thread.
If you had to choose, today, would you rather have a season in which the Bungles make the playoffs but lose immediately (that's what they do, explaining that part was almost gilding the dead lily) or have a top 5 pick in the draft?
This may be a no-brainer for some, but I had to think about it.
We must assume, for the sake of this very stupid discussion, that we don't *know* we're going to lose in advance. Or, if we do, then we must also assume the top 5 pick in this scenario is injured and misses his entire first year. Both things are a given, but we have to clarify the terms.
I think I'd take the playoff berth. Seriously. If the team is good enough to make the playoffs, even in a very bad division, a couple of decent picks and one FA signing or two (yes, I know - remember, we're playing make believe) from being a serious contender.

If you see something suspicious, say something suspicious.
