Playing it safe on safe players by overpaying or over drafting gives you less shots at getting difference makers. If we fail with Rishaw Johnson, so what? Keep drafting 6th rounders and keep giving these guys shots.

Gotta find a balance and pay those who deserve it. Your way involves too many risks. You also are banking on hitting on ALL draft picks, which is totally unrealistic. So I'm not surprised why you choose this course as well. Glad you're not GM.

No, I am not. A well run team can use the bottom of the draft to fill in your non difference makers like guard. Then aggressively use the draft and money to find difference makers. I'd rather put all my money on five playmakers then spread the same money for 10 role players.

If you can't find difference makers in the draft, spend. If you can't find role players with low draft picks keep drafting and testing and experimenting until you find a quality starter.
