Ummm, yeah--would not have accepted that trade but liked the draft----thing is, being drafted in the first round does not make one a first-round talent...there are only 10-18 first round graded players every year (obv varies) but very unlikely to get one of the graded players past mid-round.

Now obv there exists first-round talent in every round it's just not apparent to anyone at the time of the draft--but trading from actual graded talent to a 'pick your flavor' pool of talent that exists between picks 16-40 (ish) ain't going to turn out well on average--

I think McNeil and Cox will rise up boards sadly. As will St Juste (even moAr sadly lol..)

Cheers
