One thing that comes into play with late round picks is the ability to enter the trade market for disgruntled players. Trading a 1st is easier when it's pick 29 than pick 9 and often times teams do that to get quality players. That idea carries to picks in all rounds as you can offer a late 3rd for example over another team with an early 4th. The Chiefs did this last year for Orlando Brown, the Rams do this constantly for guys like Ramsey and Stafford, the 49ers did this for Trent Williams. I think our journey may end this week but honestly our ability to improve this team heading into next year may be better than any team left in the playoffs from a cap, need and draft capital situation.
