I agree completely that it's not a market inefficiency or some new strategy Demps has figured out. I am happy they are thinking long term like this and hope to see it continue
Projecting a future high draft slot can be a dangerous game to play. instead of "we see it like a 2018 1st round pick" why not say
"we think X has a lot of potential to be a good pro and was not able to fully show that in college. we look forward to working with X and believe he can become a quality player for us."
I'm probably just coming from a different space, but selling it as the team investing in a young guy over time makes sense to me. when you toss out "1st rounder" on a guy, as we've seen in this thread, that carries some expectations for production that just aren't likely, no matter how highly one may think of a 2nd round pick.

Wow the difference a year makes. Tell me this kid wouldn't be a top 10-15 pick in Thursday's draft if he came out this year

I think the team sees it like you're saying, but they have a PR problem when it comes to draft picks, especially if Holiday leaves and 3 1sts ended up getting burned for one playoff appearance.
