2024: 2 1sts, 6 in the top 100 (Parekh, Gridin, Basha, Battaglia, Mews, Zarubin)
2025: 2 1sts, 4 in the top 100 (Reschny, Potter, Stockselius, Phillips)
2026: 2 1sts, 5 in the top 100 (so far)
2027: 2 1sts, 4 in the top 100 (so far)

So 10 1sts, and 24 top-100 players (and counting) in 5 years. That's how you stockpile assets to build a core!

Agreed. Getting 1st round picks a year or two (or three) out is great strategy.
