Yes it is crazy and a little backwards. But to fill out the roster with 9 quality players this is how I would do it. I would want the team to do a serious run in the playoffs three years from now. The maximum number of young players who only need a year or two of help (and the team would have capacity for) from a loaded draft is what I would want.What the....
You don't want to waste a year of our core in the future, so you'd waste two/three years in the present to develop project players in hopes that ones/two take off?
I don't even think we'll make all 3 of the picks that we currently own and I am 100% confident that we're not going to trade future picks for more picks this year. I think one project player MAYBE two is fine but 4 is redundant because we probably wouldn't have the minutes to develop 4 rookies at the same time while also trying to remain competitive.
