Why would we have needed to trade up to take a guy who went 24th?


He’s just an example boy. Subsititute whoever you want for Penning, the value, or lack thereof, is mitigated if the player is actually good and helping win games.

An example of why not to trade up.

The decision is still bad. That's the problem.

The strategy is bad and leads to -EV decisions, which lead to suboptimal results.

That's exactly why we are in such a shitty situation across the entire team/franchise. The chickens are coming home to roost.

Still took value of multiple picks to land one guy. That’s a strategy you don’t want to embark on too many times even if it hits on occasion. When it misses like in Penning you really frick yourself.
