Looking up, the odds of picking versus being picked don't look good when you've never been on the picking side.

Now, personally, I believe that trying to be in control is preferable to resigning myself to being at the mercy of the serpentine draft gods, but I can see how a reasonable person would come to a different conclusion.

Thread Title: Highest Levels of Play
Current Discussion Topic: Strategic Decision Making for "bad" teams.

Andrew is confused.
Andrew hurt himself in his confusion.

Ignoring the whole concept of resigning yourself to mediocrity and how that's bad... the topic is how to predict what high levels of play are going to look like. In essence, we're asking "What Would Beatty Do?" So, discussing what "bad" teams do/should do is pointless.
