I hate tanking, so I don't mind higher seeds getting the top seed. I always want teams to be incentivized to win games. I'd rather if they ditched the system where the worst team has the best odds.
Here's my weird idea:
Teams bid on draft picks, but they can only bid up to however much money they still have under the salary cap. Top teams generally would not be able to bid, since they're over the cap.
I don't mind it. Usually the crap teams will have more salary cap to play with anyways so it would add an element of strategy into the process.

It would often be a similar set of teams, but I think it matters that prudent cap management would be incentivized over losing games.
I do think it's a problem that the most talented young players usually start out in losing cultures.

Maybe there shouldn't be a draft and they are all FAs but make the cap and rookie contracts very restrictive so the "rich" teams can't just buy the best players.

That's probably right, but the draft is fun and it makes a lot of money as a sporting event in its own right.
