It's a great point but a lot of fans are simply unable to see that. They need to have a physical body in front of them with a skill set to judge. In an era where rookie salaries have been neutered thus skyrocketing the price for free agents, draft picks have never been more valuable in the history of the NFL. But without a name to attach to them, they are just too easy for the casual fan to marginalize. One of the more moronic phrases that has been parroted this offseason is that "we don't need draft picks because we're trying to win now." There isn't a /wallbash emoticon big enough for idiocy like that.
