I don’t understand the logic here. If your 7th round pick turns out to be a player you’ll eventually have to pay him, too. Multiple 1st round picks increases the chances of a good player and increases the chances that they’re a good player early - on their cheap rookie deal. Having too many good players is absolutely only a good problem to have.
It's not a matter of having too many good players on one team, you cannot sustain having multiple firsts and seconds ever year because eventually you will have to pay all of them at the same time. This is why trading draft capital is a good thing from time to time.
The art of trading back is to get good players in the middle rounds, another art of the draft. Trading back to get good mid round values with lower contact values up front.
Yeah, I see your point about having a surplus of draft picks in the same draft and having them all come due at the same time. I was thinking consecutive drafts if they got two 1s for X, not the same draft. If they were to trade X for early picks this year and next, they would have even more capital to move up or trade with another team for another player. I’m not sure I’m on board with moving X but it’s hard for me to not see the benefit of moving a player for multiple 1s. They’re just too valuable and offer so many options.
He wont be there at 18. i would do it as well but only if the return was top ten pick that allowed the Surtain selection.
I wonder if you post these same opinions when the organization terminates that "contract".
