Consider that, without really tanking, which many seem to agree is unlikely or impossible for this franchise (perhaps due to risk), acquiring a distressed asset but highly touted potential 1st line center is basically the only way we're going to get one. Yes, we could get obscenely lucky drafting mid round... but that risks the downside of just never occurring.
If we dont want to rebuild properly then we have to accept the risk on players like Cozens who may have blemishes.
