No team can afford to build a team entirely of vets through trades and free agency. You have to be getting production from players on rookie contracts.
I am forever in the camp that thinks draft picks are overrated to an extent.
Why would we not trade a second and third on completely unproven players for a proven player? Especially since we are on the cusp?
Teams overvalue draft picks especially when it comes to trading them. The Rams are starting to figure this out. It's only a matter of time before other teams follow suit.
As far as mortgaging the future? We have the future already on the roster. What we need right now is proven guys to supplement our young roster. You can't rely on the draft for that if you're trying to win now.
