well we have oakland's 4th next year, plus our full compliment I believe. Really couldn't do too much more but clearly the FO is showing a willingness to gain picks.

I think the fact that we got 12 young bodies, even assuming only 6-8 end up staying, makes our future drafts even more better, and more ripe for picking up for future picks.

The key to success depends on whether the rookies can compete given a fair chance. Otherwise, it's all a waste.

Not suprising but I wonder what the number was for the team with the most players still in the league? 25?

And most of this issue I feel is more coaching and development vs simply picking bad players. See this is the problem when you take BPA and they don't actually fit your scheme. Maybe we will start seeing a difference since MS clearly didn't pick BPA nor BPA at any position we had need for. Which is probably why half of us were scratching our heads on why certain players were picked.... because they fit the scheme better.
