That tells you they realized they knew they couldn't win without that premier #1C.
We need to use our picks to make our picks. We can gather more picks in later years, and once we have a core built use our picks for trades.

An artificial disc replacement for someone who plays a physical contact sport, could end a career. There's about a 10% chance those surgeries don't work. Then there's a significant chance the artificial disk ends up in a place it's easily dislodged. This was not a minor surgery.
