At this point, I'm super glad Elliott didn't have an extra year on the end of his deal.

This feels like a very lateral move with strong potential to bust.

Is next year's draft supposed to be any good?
You post was all reasonably apprehensive about the move, which is just as justified as the optimism, but why the nonsense with the last line? You're above that, imo.
