In my opinion, if you want to build a contender that can compete many years you need elite talents who will stay with the team long time, who can make other players to become better and who can attract other players, and who can help sell tickets and franchise goods.
So team needs good scouts, good trainers, smart management and some luck.
For me, the current team is not good enough to compete POs, with a few very good prospects who can become good but support players. And the team locates in smaller market.
Therefore drafting very high very help the team to find that elusive franchise players and develop them with our young prospects to build a good group of guys to play together to reach their ultimate goal.
But for NY, LV or Toronto they can build a team through trade, UFA as so they really don't need to tank.
