The best player wins the position.

Call it a 'rebuilding season' from tomorrow on.

While I think this approach works in Basketball, I do not believe it will deliver results in the NFL. The reason is that there is very little to gain from a top draft pick, unless it turns out to be a franchise quarterback. Otherwise, top picks drain the salary cap and are rarely game changers (look at Chris Samuals, Lavar Arrington, LaRon Landry). A team that dumps veterans in this manner could end up in a losing rut that lasts a half decade.
