We will trade down they said.
Oak you dont understand the value in the trade down they said.
We want more draft picks they said.

I said after the first round you are drafting projects, not starters.
I said we would draft a shovel ready starter in the first round.

Really, Oak? I'm a little disappointed that you want to take credit for something of which you have no idea the end result. Have you seen how many prospects are still available, who some had going in the first? And until we see how these players' careers work out, how do you know who's going to do what? They're ALL projects, to some degree or another.

I'm glad we got Vaccaro. But for myself, and others who were interested in the idea of trading back, it was all based upon who would still be available. This is not the deepest draft, as far as for what you would consider I guess non "projects", so it begged the question if we wouldn't be better served to get more picks instead having just one total in the first two rounds, if we didn't have first round talent available.

In closing- not so fast, my friend.
