It's one thing to burn a top draft pick like that in an Eric Fisher year, but it's quite another to do it when you have multiple options available to you in the draft for players worth that selection. And if it's more draft picks they want, then freaking trade down. Find some dumbass Ryan Pace asshole who will give you that 3rd and a 5th to move up a few spots. You'll probably get MORE than that in the trade.
That's the kind of move rebuilding teams make. That's fine. Nothing wrong with that. Teams occasionally have to rebuild. But don't do it on top of a time when you're trying to add talent so you can apparently compete in a brutally competitive division.

They're also likely to trade out of 3....
