Let's see how these 2 recent top 5 picks do before we call for Treliving's head. It may turn out that your analysis is incomplete.
I, unlike others, am not arguing that we didn't get good players in return. But as it stands now, I don't think Brad got VALUE in return. At the present time, we gave up the best player in the trade. At the very least should've been a conditional pick in return, in case Fox signs with Carolina.

I feel last three draft day trades have something in common, he gave up a lot to beat out the perceived competition. Considering he's always tight-lipped, maybe Carolina released the details to the media to drive up the price.
