It's besides the point though. You have a chance of acquiring a great prospect if you hang onto your picks. You have zero chance of it if your picks are in another team's hands. Playing the "we might not have taken that player" card is missing the point - because we definitely didn't pick that player if we definitely didn't have the pick.
It is not like Hamilton is chopped liver, I mean if You had three draft picks and one of them turned into a player the caliber of Hamilton wouldn’t that be a win? Sometimes a boat is better then a chance to win a boat(even three chances to win said boat)
