re: Who we picking at 8?

Additional draft capital. I don’t think we have any contracts that we need to dump. I don’t think we would entertain moving down to dump Graham. I also don’t think we would trade down to upgrade the bench. I think we will start the season with pretty much the same roster as last year, with the addition of the draft pick. Then if it looks like we could contend at the deadline but we need something more, you can tweak the roster at that point. Or make moves after next season when you have a better idea of what you really need. More draft capital would help in both of those situations.

I don’t think we will trade down. Those sort of situations are pretty rare. If we like a guy that we can only get at 8 , I assume we would make that pick. But if we have a situation like last year where we’ve identified a guy that would be a reach at 8, but we could get him a little later and pick up other assets, then I think trading down is in the realm of possibility.
