Totally agree with this. Ill add though that on top of the Payne for picks aspect, Settle could have been the starter and that second round pick is freed up. I can’t really make too much sense of that whole scenario- even if we keep Payne - than yeah this guy could be talented as hell but 47 for a part time player is meh.
