Bottom line the draft has zero to do with the schedule making next season
There have been busts, but there have also been sure-things that were ready to go and fill-in to be a missing piece to the puzzle.
Take AJ Green, for example, if you leave Andy out and assume that Carson hadn't been a Benedict Arnold, imagine how much better we would have been with Carson throwing to AJ. Moves like that can drastically change a team with very little fear of failure.
The schedule-making doesn't take into account the draft, but it should.
