Year one of Treliving was a weird "made the POs with smoke and mirrors and then faced the best possible opposition" year. Year two was a year in which Treliving amassed picks from expiring contracts and/or aging vets like Sven, Glencross and Hudler. And used them in the offseason to pick good players or get others (Hamilton). Year three they make the POs. This year was a disappointment but any thought that progress would be linear is, IMO, not realistic.
