Exactly what I was going to post. They just signed Adam to a multi year deal. If they extend DreKirk, where does that leave WJ3?

Again, exactly what I was going to say. 

Seriously though, you can't rationally justify spending 1st rounders on "depth" with no intentions of ever giving that player the full-time gig. What team does that? None.
