I am fine if we miss out on a top 5 pick because the team plays well at points of the season. As long as they prioritize youth, and accumulating picks ( which they have been in all instances).

I think the stage has been set, and what happens from here on out is a 'whatever happens, happens' situation.
The team on paper is not a good one. Management has given them just enough tools to be able to retain a 'never give up' culture, while also providing a roster with a low enough ceiling that barring unforseen grand slams development-wise, should limit the team to being somewhere along the lines of a bottom-10 to bottom-5 team.
