Honestly I'm tired of the whole picks argument in general. There are no guarantees a pick will translate into the show at all and everyone talks like its the end of the world if we gave out a pick for a known commodity. Yeah we need to draft for the future but compared to a lot of clubs we have too many veteran passengers on this team and a good number of players in the farm, its the one place where this organization seems to have freaking clue what they are doing, so maybe they don't feel this is a very deep draft year, or what is there is likely not going to be available for where they think they will land given the team they ice should place them in the standings. Maybe they have identified plenty of decent picks they can go for late in rounds, they've had plenty of those.
I really don't mind the moves that have been made, it was not that bad of a sacrifice imo and what you got are serviceable players with potentially to improve and if you consider this whole team has under-performed this year then we might be giggling about this in years to come, you can never really gauge a trade on a single year especially this kind of one. I still think these will pan out better then they look now.
