This is why rebuilds aren't 3 years, they are more like 7-10 years (unless you get wildly lucky). You can't expect to change your organization's fortunes around with a single draft pick. And getting one high draft pick guarantees nothing. To build a really good core, you need 5 great players. And to get 5, you need several drafts picking high, as well as getting lucky in the late rounds, at least once or twice.
