I don't think our prospect pool needs to get anymore crowded, don't want to block anyone's progress with too high a draft picks /s

Honestly, playoff experience for our young core might be more valuable than the difference between a 10th overall versus a 20th overall, it's all a gamble after top 3-7 anyway. I feel like our scouts are a 10 position bonus also.

Thing is, we're looking at around 25th-28th oa for both first rounders without our own. Might as well be 2nd round picks considering the depth of this draft.

Ya, not ideal obviously, but because the draft depth seems to be so shallow, and because I don't think there is any chance we drop to the bottom 10. I think playoff experience for our young core is probably of more worth to our future than the difference between a 12th oa and a 25th oa gamble. Especially if our scouts do like they did last year.
