True, the odds of striking gold with a low pick are against you, but they are way more against you if you need to fill your prospect pool with undrafted players.

Actually, what you need is better players.
Yes, drafting is the primary way to get them, but not the only way.
They tried to acquire a guy that could fill a needed role on the team. It didn't work out, but they tried. Price: 6th round pick. Trying to find fault in that is ridiculous.
Now if they were doing it too often (trading away picks),
that would be a problem - but they're not.
