Loomis is a freaking genius.

This move puts the FO in a much better place for draft day. Now every other GM/drafting committee knows that we have addressed every position of need through FA and we now have the luxury of being able to draft more along the lines of BPA. When the other GMs know this they also know that they can't count on us to skip any player who may be high on our board, as well as theirs. Which, IMO, makes us ideal candidates for a trade down with several other teams who may be fearful that we could just snatch that player that they covet. And hey, if we end up with Tavon Austin, or we really gonna complain?

Loomis is the man.
