The draft isn't what it was, but when it's your job to draft people, you make the effort to do it right. These are players that someone else invested in training and we get for free. Lazy not to do the work in hope of finding something of value there.
I get what youre saying, but the team has limited resources to apply to player acquisitions. The question is how much are they going to put into the draft v player development and bring players in from abroad? There are definitely gems to be found in the draft, but if youre Schneider you might feel your time & energy is just better spent elsewhere.
