Using Brad Treliving trades as the water mark isn't a good idea.
Point taken but on the flip side but Jason Gregor will sometimes point out that draft picks are the most overrated of all assets by fans.

A 5th round pick for a player, even a depth-tweener, is more than good odds. The question, I suppose is how often and when do you play that card.
