Yes, he certainly sounds poised to take a guy at 9. Maybe that’s just playing hardball but to me it’s made the most sense to try and go blue chip in top ten and hopefully never pick that high again. And they do already have 3 picks in the first two rounds next year and 9 picks overall in 2025. So you’re looking at restocking depth next summer and maybe get a starter or two.
the perceived need for more draft capital this year is just not real
