Should we draft for the future or gamble on a need?

Food for thought. Flynn got a 3 yr/$19.5M contract to sit on the bench. Luck got a 4/$22M as the #1 overall last year. This isn't the days of Bradford where he was going to get a ridiculous $50M guaranteed. You can afford to draft for a need b/c the financial commitment is so minimal.
