The story reads that we're dead last in the league at having our drafted players still on our roster.
On the surface that seems to be a woeful job by Whaley.
But, should we not be trying to upgrade at every opportunity? If we replace a lower round player with someone elses draftee and it ends up being a solid player for us is that not whats best for the team?
Jerel Worthy, Corbin Bryant are just a few that come to mind. We should keep Tony Steward over Zack Brown? We should have kept Karlos Williams? Really? Kiko was traded for McCoy. Great move. Whaley, by my count has lost a total of 4 picks on his watch, Karlos, Steward, Cyril, Cockrell. Cyril just sucked. Cockrell starts for the Steelers but he never looked like a starter here. Still id have to concede that move.
The goal is to have the best roster possible. If releasing your own draftees and replacing them with better players does that then thats a win. We should always be scanning the wire to upgrade backups and our PS. Frankly I glad if we let our draftees go to get better players.
