Here's the thing.
We can still trade this year's pick away for an impact player.
We would have to arrange a trade BEFORE the draft, then DRAFT a player for team B, and complete the trade AFTER the pick has been made.
A top ten pick in this years draft is worth more to another team NOW, than a draft pick next year.
If you want immediate improvement next year, we would have more leverage in a trade in the summer with a top ten LOTTO pick this year.
Sooo...like we could have done the past two years?
