Essentially we are getting more now than we are likely to ever get with our own 2nd and 3rd round picks. We also have a unique opportunity to take advantage of this as the cap is going down this year.
The rebuilding process is not going to be a 7 year process, or at least it shouldn't if done right. Acquiring player who are 20-23 is not going to delay the rebuild. Those players will be 26-27 (aka just entering their prime) by the time the rebuild is done.
Edit: Only on the internet is acquiring a player who is 20-23 years old, considered short sighted.

over 3.4 million on an offer costs a 1st. Who is going to be worth sniping from another team at less than that that won't immediately be matched?
