It's definitely a roll of the dice that they find a player with their picks this year but at least they have (potentially) 3 cracks at it.
If they are tanking next year, it means Barnes, Barrett, Quickley, Poeltl aren't playing. I can't see that happening. Unfortunately, they will be in the murky middle - hope they build up more experience (with a play-in) and grab a few UFAs that complement their core.
