The idea of stockpiling picks is right, but it sounds like they are open to trading the picks for 18-20 year old players. We need to hit the next 2 drafts and get as many picks as we can get.

What the Dallas model gives teams is an excuse to give their fanbase on why they do not need a full rebuild.
"See, Dallas turned it around fast. We don't need to be bad for years and years".
Every team would love to be a Dallas and hit gold on every pick in a draft. It just isn't realistic. And with this team, I wouldn't say scouting has been a big strength over the years.
So while it is certainly a possibility we absolutely kill the draft the next couple years and are good 4 years from now, it isn't something you should be banking on.
