Is this the "can I get a resim" trade? Corrupt SGN Commissioners.

Aha

Well, the pick had been advertised since the draft period started, without one guy expressing interest. Feels like everyone hates the talent level in this year's class, me included. There isn't a single player I want to give 1st round bonus to, especially because I already have one pick in the books.

Wasn't the first time I tried throwing this pick away either. I had the 1.23+32 offered for anyone up until the C went off the board at 15. I offered this deal first to mike, who was in a bit of a wait and see, and he picked 2.28 or something anyway, which is even later.

But I like every deal to have potential to work out for me, and I think this one still does. It's better to not pick at all than straddle yourself with a useless $5 million player. Financial discipline is an extreme priority for the Bees this offseason because of Randy Boone's upcoming mega-deal. And as far as the extra 7th we get, that's reaaaaaaally not great. But, we see it as a free UDFA with $0 bonus. Millions can be saved by securing a guy in the 7th, versus competing for him against the other 32 teams in the league. I am certain someone would have signed my guard, Jerald Henry, who was the 7.32 for us last year.

Really though, I hope to never be backed into a lousy corner like this one again. But when you do, you gotta take the 'out' that's available. For Brad, the extra cap cost should be a minor concern. And the 7th, a very minor price to pay for a small increase in certainty.
