Do not get the hate at all. I don't see much of a downside here.
He's essentially a draft pick given his age, but he's a proven player already. 8-15 draft picks where we'd probably be picking aren't.
I get that people are scared of giving up a potentially top 3 pick, but O'Reilly makes this already bubble team better. We're not drafting in the top 3 with him the lineup.
O'Reilly is easily worth an 8th-15th overall pick plus a third.
I really don't see how this is a bad thing. I don't see how the stunts any potential rebuild that is not happening anyways.
