Well the reason I am saying this is because the Draft is a waist of time. Go out and cut your grass or something.
It not going to happen, but if it did I can promise you that that day would be 1000 times more exciting than sitting there, twidling you thumbs for 15 minutes, while some team decides what the 140th player in the draft if going to be.

If the NFL actually did what you are suggesting, within a few years the best teams in the league would be 40 or even 50-point favorites when they played the worst teams, just like they are in college now. Eventually, with point spreads that large, some team wouldn't be able to resist an offer from gamblers to shave points in such a game, and the resulting scandal might destroy the game as we know it, just like what happened in college basketball in the early '50s.
