For the draft to be effective we need all of our picks over a 3 to 4 year span. Giving away any of this year's picks only postpones our efforts of building from within.
That makes no sense at all to me. So you're saying, for example, keeping all nine picks and using the first one on Malcolm Kelly is more effective than keeping eight out of nine and trading the first one (and maybe a 3rd next year) for Chad Johnson simply because we're keeping all our picks?
