Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 683138">Too much has been made of Thompson's accumulation of draft picks.A 6th. or 7th. round pick is not of significant value value no matter how you cut it, and I'm sure that reality has not escaped Thompson's attention.  If Davis is bad enough to be cut after a couple of weeks, there may be no pick at all. Prospective payment based on player performance makes for a favorable risk/reward calculation, such calculations being the true Thompson hallmark.A low pick falling to you from a FA departing is merely a byproduct of the player evaluation and cap management processes.  Gaining such picks, especially the low picks, are not a rationale for anything; holding onto low picks as though they are money in the bank is likewise a poor assumption.</blockquote>
