Instead Dorsey flipped over 7 spots for guys like Cooper and McGrath and Parker who were clearly on some other teams waiver radars and we essentially put in a massive cock block in August.
Which is awesome.

I agree.
I have to admit that I was wondering why so many and wondering about team chemistry and all that other nonsense, but when I realized we had first choice on the wire and saw that our pickups were from teams with good rosters, I had hope for some solid pickups. Definitely exceeding expectations.
