He's right about this years draft capitol. At 27 the value isn't here that we had last year picking at 11. Without a second rounder we will have to package some lower picks to target a player we covet which has worked well for us lately. I would rather walk away with a small impact draft than a lot of developmental players.
Actually, that's conservative because we had twenty starters and or player with significant minutes played per game lost...
Injuries are of no excuse - but I'd sure like to see us do something as this is the second year in a row of significant injuries...
