I mean, really, what can you do when there's no superstars on the board, and nobody wants your pick...

Yeah, it was a conundrum, no doubt. I suppose trading Sanchez after he was drafted is a bit more difficult than before. At that point, your potential trading partners have a nice bargaining chip in the fact that if they don't deal with you, you have to sign a player you never really wanted. Still, I think that would probably have been the best decision. We are a franchise that needs to take some risks.
