I'm with ya on this. I think the benefits of showing that the turnaround has begun, that the coaching staff is capable, and that the rest of the team has bought in outweigh the difference between pick 1 and pick 5 (just as an example). I also feel that with so many positions needing upgrades, we might want to trade down and it's sometimes tough to trade the #1 pick but trading #5 for #s 9 and 24 (again just an example) is more doable.
