With our defense core being

Brodie-Giordano
Wideman-Russell
Cundari-Butler
Smith

Even if Russell is just adequate as a #4, he'll be worth a lot more than a 5th in trade in the future. I don't see what the big deal is. At the deadline, we can easily recoup the 5th by trading Chris Butler or some other similar guy.
