You can build through the draft with your own picks too. And have a pipeline of talent in the organization so that when a player gets to UFA you're not forced to dumping him at the deadline or signing him to a deal you don't like.
IMO you can't fall in love with this "strategy" of trading your players for picks.
But yeah if you're out of it, it's kind of a no brainer. I guess I'm in the minority but I want to see how the team plays for another month.
