re: Cole McKay just chosen #910 by Detroit

Its obviously a throwaway pick but it can allow the team to talk to McKay and establish a relationship with the kid.

I was telling a friend that I wouldn't be surprised to see a team take him as a "throwaway" pick, that way they have more money to throw at other drafted players.

But at 910, I doubt the slot money is anything that would persuade a higher drafted player.
