Agreed, most top 3 picks play and can contribute right away. That about the game has changed in the last decade.

Your roster around them is almost sure to be garbage though, which is why the bottom-out rebuilds (can) take quite a bit of time to turn around.

I think with our amateur scouting track record, if we keep the majority of our picks the next few years AND have the opportunity to pick at least 2 guys in the top 10, we'll have the injection of talent into our system needed to turn this thing around quicker than not, maybe even quick enough for this to be a 'retool' and not rebuild.
