I like Treliving's approach which seems to indicate that he will focus in the draft on smaller windows: two or three drafts with an overabundance of picks; two or three drafts where those picks are currency.

After next years draft, Treliving will have been GM for 5 drafts, and in only one will he have accumulated more than 6 picks.
Treliving's going all in with the core of this team and no evidence he goes through cycles of an over abundance of picks. unless they are horrible again in which case it probably won't be his draft.
