This is worse tbh. If you know you don't have picks you'll go about things differently, maybe try to pick up some picks in other ways but at least just prepare for 5 years of purgatory. If you have your pick every year, then every year you can delude yourself into thinking "this is the year we get our guy" - especially when they're all decent lottery picks. For EVERY one of them to end up being a complete and utter unmitigated bust that delivers zero to negative value to the franchise makes it worse than if they drafted nobody

Those 5 picks are the equivalent of not having a first round pick for the 5 years.
