One way that I think would be better is to determine the draft order by drawing team names(that didn't make the playoffs) out of a hat. So each team that didn't make the playoffs have the same chance of getting the #1, #2, ..., #16 picks. So if you don't make the playoffs you'll get better picks then the teams that did, but you can't tank Astro style and get the #1 four years in a row.
