I am hoping ownership learned a thing or two
, ...didn't Bean retire?!! I agree Conroy seems to have the rare opportunity to move things backwards. If he can keep on hitting on draft capital, maybe even grab a couple more 1st s over the next year or two we might have enough bullets in the chamber.
We've still got room to acquire more picks; One good thing in Conroy's favor is that he has set the bar high, and has had some success. This is really important as it allows him to keep reaching.
