Yeah I don't see a contrarian point at all.
You draft a lot (they did) you draft well (they did) and then at some point you make a decision to move futures for the now to meet the core that was drafted.
That's not abandoning drafting at all.
Hell he could be wrong, at this point he is given the past season, but I get the logic.
