We’re not in a rebuild. From 2021 to now we’ll have had ONE extra first round pick (unless you consider that Draper pick at 21 a first rounder). Six top-20 picks in five years of which only one was a top 5 pick. It’s not rebuilding to just take your picks to the draft, top up with Kelly, Gresham, Setterfield, Goldstein, McKay, Prior, Fiorini, trade out players you HAVE to trade (Draper, Zerk) and get rid of one player for peanuts who brought criminals into the rooms (Stringer). It’s not rebuilding playing senior players over kids every chance, even when you know it’s the last round and they’ve been told they’ll be delisted. It’s not winning at all costs, such as playing injured players.
A rebuild means playing kids, trading valuable players out for additional picks, finishing low to get top 3 picks, and focusing on establishing a strong culture.
