The horrors.
Next year we have some extra tools to do exactly what we did this year - find talent at the top that we want and move to where they fit. How is that so awful? You'd rather a few practice squad/special teams contributors over the chance to move up and get a potential starter at a position of need?
This is such a short-sighted hill to die upon.

I very much like the process of trading day 3 picks to move up in future drafts, but we should have gotten a significantly better pick than we did. That's all. Also, pretty sure I never said I was dying on this hill.

Next year's draft is always better than this years draft. Story old as time. Without actually having a clue about how the players post 100 will be, what we do know is that this draft had 400 extra players that are not in a normal draft because of covid. The odds that next years draft has better players in the 135-140 pick range, which is likely where our pick will be, are slim.

Nobody last year said this year's draft will be better than last years. There are a couple WRs that would of likely been drafted over all the WRs if they could come out as sophomores.  Qbs and defensive players as well.  Not to mention TE.  Stroud, Young, Carter, Anderson, Ngiba, Addison, Mayer.  All would of been drafted at the top of their positions if sophomore players could come out.  It's not that hard to see that next years class will be better when they already are
