Nah, it's not. I didn't expect people outside the ones involved to remember so just wanted people to be aware

I'd have sat my starters in the same position as Wiki too. He was a Superbowl contender and didn't want to risk injuries.

I'd also sit my starters in same position as him now. Better draft picks and playing time for kids. However, KCF has said before that doing so isn't prudent. Probably because playing in losing efforts can cause ratings drops for other players and I'm not sure how much difference playing in 1 game makes on rises for next year. But then again losing or winning that game could have like a 5+ place swing on draft day

I guess the question then becomes, will it even matter? We don't know 2 critical things:

1) What positions wiki is targeting. This matters because some positions are more available than others typically, so even with that 5 slot swing he's still prob picking top 10, and if it's something like QB or OT or something, he could still get just as good a prospect at #10 than he could at #3

2) What players are available this year. Pretty self explanatory I think. And even if the draft list comes out and the ONLY player he wants is at #3, and he's picking at #7-10, he would still have time to swing a trade for that pick.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, even in a year like this with a hotly contested top 10 slate of teams picking, I don't think tanking 1 game is going to make that much of a difference. Like he's not suddenly going to be picking 10 slots differently if he lost than if he won. If you're in that race to begin with, you're in the top 10 no matter what.
