You go after the players who you believe in. Trying to fill a dire positional need with an unproven rookie is what teams in the bottom half of the draft do.

You will never be able to fill every hole on a team.
Rez, you're right, in so much that you don't fix a team in one draft...

But consider...

One, this is the deepest draft, possibly in twenty-five years...

Two, the more picks you have, the better you're chances of hitting good players...

Three, if the players that could have been selected with those extra picks would be an improvement over existing talented - why would the fact that they are rookies handicap them from winning a championship?!?

I agree with the premise, it's just that we obviously aren't building for the future. We're building for now. Looking for immediate impact.

You're right about the future is now; I just prefer reloading to rebuilding...

And we're set to a course to rebuild...
