The strategy is focusing on scouting and development. Having high picks makes it easier to maximize the success of that strategy because that’s where it’s harder to miss, but picking high isn’t a strategy itself.

It can most definitely be a strategy, I don’t see how you could argue otherwise. ‘Scorched earth’ rebuild isn’t a new concept, it’s just not a popular one for owners or around here for that matter.
