I remember the beginning of the season people were screaming for DT trades, we'll we did it and now everyone is acting like we are throwing away next years draft. We are fine, the guys upstairs know what they are doing more than we do.

On a side note, drafting a player isn't any kind of guarantee that you'll get a good one.

At least with a trade, you can get someone that has some experience at the pro level and some realtime game tape that can show potential to good evaluators. And let's face it, our team has better luck with picking up vets than drafting new talent.

Tank and Leonard may do more to shore up the DT position than drafting could, both have some upside to them. And DT is very much a veteran-intensive position where a rookie might be quickly intimidated.

That being said, there is only so much future that one can trade away without over-leveraging yourself completely.

Point is, picking up Leonard and Tyler is "not trading away your future". They are relatively young. They are future.
