The thing is that a lot of the prospects that people are wanting as part of the deals are players picked in that range (25-32). Bystedt, Poitros, O'Reilly, Bourque, Letourneau, Hemming, Musty, Cowan, Ritchie, etc. Even our own Grindin and Potter. There are probably some I missed, but to say late picks are not valued is not being sensible. Of course lottery picks are better, but those are not picks traded around the deadline.
