Look I am not a big fan of the front office either but not signing free agents and valuing draft picks isn't the problem. The problems is not resigning guys that were good players and not replacing them. Also keeping guys that are over their prime instead of younger better players is a problem.

The bad part of the deal was accepting a 10M contract on a guy that has served about as well as a similar guy getting the veteran minimum would have.  The only good part was moving back in the draft, I guess.  Heck, they could have entertained suitors on draft day and made that, or a similar trade, and likely came out on the better end.
