[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 496354"] I can imagine a dynamic process on draft day. The process starts with a long list of players, a list of needs, and expectations about who will be available at what point. The expectations are bound to be confounded, reshuffling the deck. In-process pick trades are just one indication. Or, for example, a perceived bargain pick in an upper round for a player at a lower need position could alter the calculus for the rest of draft. It's a series of multi-variable equations. Whether the on-going recalculations occur in the turbid mind of an autocratic GM with a quiet draft room or in an animated collegial group, the recalculations occur. We got a glimpse into how dynamic the process might be with TT's post-draft comments last year. He seemed genuinely surprised at himself for ending up all-D. To paraphrase, he said he may have lost his mind. While I don't believe he was all that impulsive (drafting straight-up for need is probably crazy in TT's book), I do think that draft ended up looking quite differently from what he imagined going in, especially when you consider the trades.
