[QUOTE="mmbt0ne, post: 45914, member: 855"] To me, the argument for gaining more picks should be "everything's a crapshoot the later you get in the draft, so the more bullets you have the better" That strategy plays a lot better when your highest pick is 28+ (Patriots) versus when your pick is #6. Even if you look at running back, one of the positions people are most vocal about not drafting high, you see a clear hit percentage and star percentage correlation with players picked high in the draft. Yes, you can get an Alfred Morris in the 6th round, but you're much more likely to get an Allen Bradford, a Jordan Todman, a Kenjon Barner, or a Deji Karim. Since 2010 here are the drafted RBs and there spot in the draft, and I've starred the guys I consider to be really good players.
