In order for Conroy to be anything like Brad’s first 3 years he would have to: trade 5 first round picks, trade 3 2nd round picks and trade 5 third round picks and not get any picks back in return.

Conroy had a heck of a lot more available to trade than Treleving. I’m not saying he’s not done more with it, but the pattern so far is the same. Ship out the older UFAs and then start trading away futures to build the roster.
It’s not really that unique of a process, and I know for whatever reason, mentioning BT triggers a few folks, but the important part of the plan for long term success is the next one… and whether Conroy remains patient and jumps on opportunities like he did with the Frost/Farabee deal or starts getting aggressive and unloads futures too quickly.
It’s not a criticism.
