especially for the highest value guys. would rather get them out of hs and hold onto them then have to go out and buy them on the open market.

same as any pro franchise. drafting and developing players will always be an important part of the equation. but it's not the whole equation, like it used to be in college.

...for making the same point as TheWildcat. - kmawv8 MU - 6/6 12:51:16
