The only good starter to walk after the rookie deal was up before this last offseason was Casey Hayward. Parenthetically, it would seem that he doesn't consider that slot corner role to be worth paying a hefty contract for (had they only seen Hayward's potential on the outside...).I wouldn't hold the 2013 class against him too harshly. That was an epically bad draft class. Busts up and down that thing. I think any team's class from that season needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Bakhtiari was a homerun. Lacy was good until he got too fat. Tretter was also good, but injury prone, and you can't pay a guy starting center money when he's not your starting center. Hyde was also a nice find, though again it would seem that TT doesn't really value that position highly.I don't want to seem like I'm making excuses. TT certainly didn't do well. But flip through some other teams' 2013 classes and I think you'll see that it wasn't really a banner year for the draft.</blockquote>
