Improve steadily but surely, and then acquire one through trade or free agency.

While I think your point is fair, remember this:
Sam Bennett was repeatedly ranked in the top two during the year, and was as close to a "consensus" top 3 pick as you could get. Good fortune led him to us, but arguably we could have picked first, grabbed him, and that would've been completely reasonable.
So are you looking for the pick to be in the top 3? Or are you looking for us to have grabbed a top 3 prospect?
If you're looking for us to have simply picked in the top 3 then it's kind of arbitrary and meaningless. If you think we need a top 3 prospect... well, we have one.
